The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei
Chapter 473

Chapter 473

Good men were scarce, and women needed to have thick skin to win them over and keep them. The more ruthless one was, the more stable one's position in the household would be. Weak women would only be discarded -even their children would end up suffering.

Therefore, Briar had no other talent than competing for men.

She fought hard for Tristan and had him wrapped around her fingers.

Tristan thought she was pregnant with his child but in reality... The child didn't even belong to the Hunt family.

In other words, even if her baby was healthy, she wouldn't keep it.

Renee happened to be the perfect scapegoat.

Stefan was the man Briar had set her sights on. She was willing to pay any price to get married to him.

"Adie, you have to believe that I'm a good person. I would never hurt you. You should be grateful that your mother has a good friend like me," Briar said with a smile while she gently ruffled Adie's head.

She made up her mind right there and then.

The kid could only blame himself for being Renee's child!

Suddenly, Adie stopped watching the cartoon. He turned around and stared at Briar with wide eyes.

"W-What's the matter?" Briar panicked at the sight of his intense stare.

He looked way too much like Stefan. Their eyes were practically the same when he didn't smile. His piercing gaze seemed as if i could see through her.

"Nothing. I just think that you're a good person. I like you a lot. I'm glad I got to know you. I'm so happy... Give me a hug, Aunty Desrosiers!" After saying that, he opened his arms passionately and wrapped them around Briar's neck.

"Uhh..." Briar froze. She didn't dare to move.

Adie was soft to the touch. She felt a gentleness in the deepest part of her heart.

However, despite the passionate hug, she couldn't see the look of disappointment on Adie's face.

He already gave this mean aunty a chance, and he didn't want to punish her too severely. However, she still hadn't learned her lesson. She couldn't blame her for what he would do next...

"Adie, it's getting late. Finish your milk and go to bed!" Briar hesitated for a long while. In the end, she still offered him the milk that had a large number of sleeping pills infused.

"Alright. Thank you. Aunty Desrosiers." Adie picked up the glass of milk and emptied it in a few gulps.

Soon, he was sound asleep. Briar couldn't wake him up no matter how hard she tried.

"Don't blame me, kiddo. It's all your mother's fault. You might be very adorable, and I really do like you, but you're Renee's son, and I can't keep you around!" Briar sat on the edge of the bed and silently looked at Adie. Amid her fierce, steely expression, however, was a tinge of sadness.

And that was when the doorbell rang..
