Relentless Pursuit After Divorce

Chapter 1297: William Campbell Smothered to Death

"Mummy, where have you been these past few days?"

William lifted his head from her embrace, his eyes gleaming with anticipation as they rested on her face.

"I... I was on a business trip."

"Will you be going on business trips in the future?" noveldrama

"This..."

Why does this damned brat have so many questions!

Elly felt some impatience in her heart, which also began to make her agitated.

But because Gloria was present, she dared not show her impatience openly.

"No, mummy will stay at home and spend time with William these days."

She picked up William and said to Gloria:

"Gloria, you go do your things, William can stay with me."

Gloria, having no doubts, nodded and said, "Alright, Young Miss, I leave the Young Master with you, I will go to the hospital to see the old lady and also share the news of your return."

After Gloria left, Elly’s expression turned cold, and her gaze at William was no longer as gentle.

Even William, just a child, got startled by her look, instinctively shrinking back.

Elly looked at William, sneered coldly, and yanked him over.

"Are you very afraid of me?"

Her movements were rough, and William had no chance to resist. As she pulled him, his foot slipped, and he hit directly against the bed edge.

His chin knocked against the bed edge with strength, causing William to burst out crying instantly.

"Wah~~ Mummy, you’re so fierce~"

Elly was startled by William’s cry, she quickly stepped forward and covered his mouth, "Stop crying."

She lowered her voice, and her strength was very great, covering William’s nose and mouth, near frenzy.

"I told you to stop crying!"

She yelled at William.

Scared by her fierce demeanor, William struggled even more fiercely.

As his mouth and nose were covered by her, he couldn’t breathe and struggled even more desperately.

The more he struggled, the greater the strength Elly applied in her hands, and by the time she realized her reaction, William’s face had turned blue, with his eyes starting to roll up.

Frightened, she quickly let go, allowing William, who desperately gasped for breath, to cough violently as his nostrils and mouth suddenly filled with enough air.

He was quite terrified, and his crying grew louder.

Elly quickly pulled him into her arms, softly comforting him.

"Be good, William, stop crying. It’s all mummy’s fault, mummy was bullied by someone outside these past days, and I was in a bad mood, so I lost my temper at you, can William forgive mummy?"

She patiently coaxed him for a while.

For William, the woman before him was the mummy he has loved since he was a child; initially, he was shocked.

But children are, after all, children, they don’t think too much; seeing his mummy so gently apologizing again, he forgave her right away.

He nodded in her embrace, tears still on his face, but the fear in his eyes had faded, replaced only by adoration for his mother.

"Mummy was so fierce just now, William was really scared."

"I’m sorry, William, mummy was in a bad mood today and was fierce to you. Can you forgive mummy?"

"Uh-huh."

His eyes were still wet with tears, yet William nodded seriously, "I forgive mummy."

"Such a good boy."

She kissed William’s cheek and saw his lips that were bruised from bumping against the bed edge, a shadow crossed her eyes.
