Chapter 981: She Couldn’t Afford to Go Through Such Anguish a Second Time
A black Hummer suddenly braked just a few kilometers away from the courts. Ye Hao’s face was grim and he looked listless as he sat in the car.
He leaned against the steering wheel and even though his eyes were slightly closed, it couldn’t hide his anguish and sorrow. He couldn’t help but recall the events from several years ago. Four years ago, he had received a call from her while he was in a meeting and that had been the day that Xi Xi has been born and when he had become a father. He still remembered how excited and emotional he had been that day and also remembered holding her hand tightly by her hospital bed as he promised to look after their daughter together. He also promised that they would always be together as a family.
He remembered that she told him on more than one occasion that she was very fortunate to have met him and that she was grateful for his care and tolerance.
But what did he do? He abandoned her, caused her to lose custody of Yuan Yuan, took Xi Xi’s custody away from her and caused her so much pain and suffering that she tried to kill herself by jumping into the ocean.
Ye Hao bit his lips. These memories caused him immense pain.
He had failed to live up to his promises time and time again. He brought her no happiness or good fortune but instead, brought her disaster and pain.
He slammed a fist angrily against the steering wheel. He was disgusted with his past actions. He didn’t hire a lawyer this time, neither did he make any contact with anyone from the courts. He decided that he would let the courts rule in her favor because he did not want to face off against her in court, nor did he want to let her down time and time again. He especially did not want to see her cry in anguish at the court as she had done three years ago.
He knew that she could not afford to go through this a second time.
——
Another luxurious car arrived at the gates of the court when it was almost 9 AM.
Mo Yixuan stepped out of the car.
He looked haggard and pale and he was all alone this time. His aunts and uncle were not by his side today.
He had hired a lawyer but he told his assistant to simply hire any lawyer and even told the lawyer that there wasn’t much of a need to defend his case.
He stood outside the main gates of the courts and stared at the solemn building.
He hadn’t forgotten how he faced off against her in court three years ago. He had snatched Yuan Yuan’s custody away from her in this very place and turned her into his enemy.
He knew how important the child was to her and also knew that she would not be able to withstand the anguish of losing her child again.
Hence, he decided that he would bear the pain this time.
Mo Yixuan slowly walked out of the court as though he was stepping on a bed of knives. He decided that he would take care of both her and the children no matter how the judges ruled. It didn’t matter whether or not she was willing to return to his side, he vowed to care for them.
The hearing was still held until the same court and coincidentally, the same judge presided over the hearing. Even the members of the jury were almost the same as before.
However, this time, his mother was no longer around and neither were her relatives. Naturally, he could not permit Yuan Yuan to be here because he didn’t want his son to witness such a painful scene.
Mo Yixuan took his place in the dock and not long later, he saw that another man had taken the seat next to him. This was none other than his ex-rival-in-love, Ye Hao. Ye Hao’s head was constantly bowed, so he didn’t know what he was thinking.
