Chapter 3
It was Hope!
When she heard Hope’s voice, Esther was confounded!
She didn’t know where the strength came from. She pushed Leon hard and gave him a few punches
and kicks.
Snap!
Then, Esther slapped Leon Winston hard.
“Bitch, you dare to slap me - I am killing you today!”
Leon got furious and tore Esther’s shirt with his hands.
When she saw this, Hope was already scared to tears, shouting, “Don’t hit my mommy!”
Hope run over, hugged Leon’s thigh, and bit him.
“What the heck! Little whore! Your mom is a slut, you are even cheaper than she was! Get out of here!”
Leon raised his leg, trying to kick Hope.
But before he could do that...
A shadow flashed past him.
And a punch hit Leon hard.
Ouch!
Leon screamed and flew out.
Although Chris was very disappointed with Esther, when he saw her being bullied by another man and
their daughter being called a little whore, it still hurt beyond words!
“Leave with me!”
Chris picked up Hope and reached out to pull Esther out.
“Who are you? You let go of me!”
Esther didn’t recognize Chris because of the dim lighting in the private room.
Chris turned his head and looked at Esther with a gloomy face, “Esther Jefferson, you gold-digger, take
a good look at me!”
Esther was confounded when she finally saw Chris’s face clearly.
It was him!
He was her own husband!
This was the man whom she was forced to marry five years ago!
This was also the man who had married her and ran away the next day!
In an instant, Esther’s brain went blank.
At the same time, Chris was also distraught.
Five years ago, Chris was kicked out of the Shelby family and left on the streets. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Just when he was about to starve to death, the Jefferson family found him.
They said he was a perfect match for Esther. Their marriage would bring the best luck to their seriously
ill father Henry Jefferson.
That was how Chris Shelby married Esther and came into the Jefferson family.
The day after the marriage, the state issued a military draft, and Chris resolutely joined the army for
future revenge.
Five years later, he had become a military belief, a military myth, and owned the title of Lord Death!
Esther gradually could not hold back her tears.
Her tears kept streaming down.
All of a sudden.
Esther threw herself into Chris’s arms and burst into tears.
“You bastard, Chris Shelby, you heartless man - you are finally back!”
Crying?
What was this about?
Was she pretending to be pitiful in front of him?
Chris pushed Esther away, stared at her with a cold face, and asked, “You know what I saw when I just
returned to the Jefferson family? I saw our daughter. She was chained up like a dog, lying on her back,
on the ground.”
“Even a servant of the Jefferson family was beating her while you are here with another man. What
kind of mother on earth you are? How do you take care of our daughter?”
Goodness!
She heard every word of these.
Esther’s emotions were completely out of control.
She howled in pain.
“My daughter! My poor daughter! I am so sorry!”
The thought of their daughter lying on the ground like a dog.
Esther cried like she was heartbroken.
Suddenly, she clenched her fists and kept pounding Chris’s chest.
“Bastard! It’s all your fault! It’s all on you! If it wasn’t for you, my daughter would never have to suffer
like this. In what place are you to blame me?”
“Do you have any idea how much humiliation I’ve got to bear in the past five years? After our daughter
was born, no one was willing to help me. I was left alone with everything. And every time Hope asked
me about where her father was, I didn’t know what to answer.”
“I am a normal woman, and I long for a man to rely on from time to time. Life has been too difficult for
me. I can’t take it anymore...”
Esther Jefferson cried hysterically - she had suffered too many grievances over the past five years.
When he heard Esther’s words, Chris was taken aback.
He did not expect that in the past five years, she had lived such a difficult life.
“Esther, I’m sorry...”
Chris reached out, trying to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Esther cried hoarsely, “You bastard! Heartbreaker! Did you know that our daughter was born with
congenital heart disease?! The doctor said that she would have to have surgery before the age of six!”
“But I didn’t have any money. In three days, I have asked everyone for money, and no one was willing
to lend me any. I had no choice, so I turned to Leon Winston. He is a loan shark, and he has bad
intentions for me. He wants me to be his woman!!”
“Do you think I really enjoy drinking with him here? I have no choice!!!”
Buzz!
Esther’s words hit Chris like thunder.
It turned out that he had misunderstood her.
Esther ignored Hope Jefferson for three days just to find money to treat her.
Meanwhile.
A burst of anger burned and rose in Chris’s heart!
This Leon Winston had been bold enough to covet his wife - was he tired of his life?
“Esther, I am so sorry. I misunderstood you, and it’s all my fault...”
Chris hugged her in his arms.
At this moment, guilt and self-blame filled his chest.
This tough man cried!
“I’m sorry, Esther. It was my fault!”
“From today onwards, I will never let you suffer any grievances again. I will make you the happiest
woman in the world!”
Esther fell into Chris’s arms and cried bitterly.
After so many years of grievances, at this moment, she let it all out.
Afterward, the family of three returned home.
It was a dark basement, but it had been cleaned up meticulously.
When he thought of the Jeffersons who were living in a luxury villa and then looked at this dilapidated
basement, Chris couldn’t help clenching his fists.
“You live here?”
Esther nodded and said, “After you ran away, they thought that I had embarrassed the whole family, so
they expelled us from the Jefferson family.”
“Where are your parents?” Chris asked.
Esther looked disappointed, “After we got kicked out of the Jefferson family, my mother couldn’t take
such a blow and she went to my grandfather. My father also left with my mother to take her back.”
When he heard this, Chris felt even more remorse in his heart.
Esther and Hope and her parents had all ended up in such a terrible situation because of himself.
Hope hid behind Esther, looking curiously at Chris.
Esther said to her, “Hope, come and meet your Daddy. This is your father.”
When she heard Esther’s words, her face showed a little panic.
She tried but finally could not say the word “Dad.”
Chris squatted down, touched Hope’s head with his hand, and said, “Hope, I’m your dad. Starting
today, I will protect you and mom. And I will make sure all the women in this world will be jealous of you
and your mom. I promise.”
“Dad...”
When she heard what Chris said, Hope went into Chris’s arms and cried.
At this moment, Chris’s heart melted in an instant.
The unparalleled and iron-boned Primus who had conquered the world, burst into tears on the spot.
