At this point, he finally let out a cold laugh, “As a person, don’t think of yourself as clever, it can lead to unintended consequences.”
After speaking, he bit his lower lip, with deep intentions.
In this room, only Robert, a fool, felt that Cathy had just helped Gabrielle.
the only wanted to completely take away Enzo’s custody rights, to separate them!
Not only was it shameful, but also cruel!
Gabrielle’s perspective
got into the car with my child.
nce seated in the car, I didn’t say a word to her.
ly children always paid attention to my attitude towards them, and now she looked at me silently, unable to help but tug at my
leeve.
Mom, I was wrong.”
Tell me, where were you wrong?” My tone wasn’t heavy, but my expression was serious.
ly daughter bowed her head, “I shouldn’t have broken their precious vase.”
s she said this, the little girl bit her lip tightly, her eyes cast downward.
here was a hint of moisture in her eyes.
eeing my child like this, my heart ached a little.
hugged her close to me.
You were truly wrong, not properly protecting yourself.”
My daughter looked up, not understanding, looking at me with round eyes.
suggested, “When you broke the vase, did you think about your own safety? If you got hurt by the broken pieces, what would you
lo?”
The vase could be replaced, but if she got injured, it would leave a permanent scar.
Remember, no matter what situation you’re in, protect your safety to the best of your ability.”
“Yes.” My daughter knew that I was upset because I cared about her well being, and her little heart warmed.
Seeing my daughter sincerely apologize, I gently patted her little head, “This time it’s also Mom’s fault, for not protecting you well.”
“Mom, don’t blame yourself, you’ve treated me very well.” My daughter loved me deeply.
“But really, Iris doesn’t like Grandma West’s house, she’s too mean and Grandma West is too cold.”
Chapter 53
When mentioning the West family’s home, Iris’s small body couldn’t fail to shudder.
Seeing Iris’s terrified expression, I thought back to the images I had seen in the livestream room.
Diana’s treatment of Iris, there was no trace of affection as she would have for a granddaughter, it was like dealing with an enemy.
“Don’t worry, Iris, from now on, Mom won’t let you experience such things anymore.” I stroked Iris’s small hair and made a promise.
Iris had never slept well at the West family’s home, but as soon as she returned to my side, her nerves relaxed completely.
Not long after, her eyelids began to fight.
In a blink of an eye, she fell into a deep sleep.
Looking at the exhausted little body in my arms, I held her tightly.
Holding her even tighter.
On the way, Fredrica and John called one after another, asking about Iris’s situation.
Even Thomas sent a message to inquire.
They had seen Iris’s cry for help in the livestream room.
‘It’s okay, Iris is out of there, she’s in the car with me,” I said.
The West family truly lacks humanity!” Fredrica, who had the most fiery temper among the three, had the strongest reaction.
They did that to Iris, and I saw it in the livestream room, I felt sorry for her, and… these despicable people, we definitely can’t let hem go!”
They dared to hurt Iris, we’ll make them experience the pain too!”
rubbed my forehead lightly.
For now, I just want to fight for custody of Iris. Even though she has been hurt, it also made Pamela willing to give up custody. Let’s eave it at that for now.”
t’s not that I didn’t care about Iris.
But there were too many things that couldn’t be done at the same time.
Despite not being able to bear this, I could only choose the best way to resolve it for Iris’s future.
Upon hearing that Pamela had signed the agreement to give up custody, Fredrica’s anger subsided.
‘Gabrielle, you did the right thing. We can’t let fris suffer because of their anger. Let’s go home quickly, I’ll cook a nice meal to welcome you.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up, I felt a warmth in my heart.
Although we were no longer married, I had many friends who cared about me and Iris.
When my car arrived at my residence, Fredrica was standing outside wearing a scarf.

Iris had just woken up, her eyes still hazy.
Fredrica carefully hugged her in her arms and kissed her nonstop, “Our family’s child has been hurt.”
‘Not hurt.” Iris shook her head innocently, returning the kiss on Fredrica’s face, not forgetting to look at me, “Mom saved me from
here.”
You’re a good girl, let’s go upstairs.” Fredrica carried Iris towards the gate.
At this moment, my gaze didn’t shift, fixed to a certain point.

would have been better not to see him, but now that I had, Fredrica’s radiant face quickly turned into a look of disgust, as if looking t feces.

Before leaving, she reminded me, “If he dares to give you trouble, call me!”
After Fredrica and Iris went upstairs, I turned back to look at Enzo with a faint smile, “What’s the matter? Speak up.”

Enzo’s face tightened, becoming even worse when he saw Iris trying to stay away from him.
“Did you force my mother to sign the agreement giving up custody of Iris?” Without beating around the bush, he asked directly.
I replied coldly with a single “Yes.”
This matter, sooner or later, Enzo would find out.
“This is good for you and Cathy.”
“Whether it’s good or not for me, I’ll decide for myself, not you!” Enzo angrily interrupted.
His words were hard to hear and poorly expressed.

I let you take care of Iris, but you’re trying to take advantage, even depriving her of her rights, acknowledging her father, icknowledging her grandmother, acknowledging her biological mother. Is that good for her?” Enzo’s mood was terrible, and his tone
vas venomous.
hroughout our marriage, he had never spoken so harshly to me.
Now, after the divorce, every word, every letter, felt like a knife, a hatred that couldn’t kill me!
n Enzo’s mind, I was a troublemaker!
learing these words, I just gave a cold laugh, “Deprive? Enzo, you sound so frightening saying these words, making it easy to turn
‘ou into the victim!”
Before you say such things, maybe you should go home and ask your mother, your sister, why I would want to take them away? And
hey’re not fools. Why would they let me do it on my own!”
No matter the reason, the child cannot be separated from the West family!” Enzo’s attitude was resolute, with no intention of
understanding the reasons.
nitially, I wanted you to temporarily take care of the child.
I was you who had crossed the limit, so don’t blame me for being cold-hearted!
