Weakly, Esther sat inside the washroom with her hands covering her face as she wailed in agony.
âYou were the one who handed him the knife, a knife that he took to hurt you on purpose! âWhy?
âWhy wonât you wake up after all this?
âWhat are you still hoping might happen?
âWhat are you still dreaming of happening?
âWake up!
âHe isnât worthy of your love.
âHe isnât worthy of having children as cute as Felix and Pixie.â
Felix and Sunshine went upstairs to look for Esther. Felix saw Estherâs phone on the floor and picked it up. He looked around and said, âMommy?â
At that moment, Jasper sent a few WhatsApp messages.
Jasper: [Esther, I just met up with Bradley and recorded our conversation. Iâm sending it to you now.]
Jasper: [It doesnât matter if Bradley refuses to cooperate with you, Esther. Iâve given it some thought. I think you can carry on with your lawsuit against Bradley so long as we know where Pixie is.]
Jasper: [While youâre working on your divorce, Iâll do my best to gain custody over Felix and Pixie. Iâm sure the church wonât be able to cause you any more trouble if youâve gotten their custody.]
Felix then curiously opened the voice recording that Jasper had sent.
âFelix, is that man your daddy?â Sunshine asked.
He had told Sunshine a lot about Bradley when they were alone over the past few days.
After listening to the voice recording, Felix looked at Sunshine with an ashen expression.â What do you think Daddy meant by that, Sunshine?â
Felix found it difficult to understand what Bradley was saying. He didnât want to believe that the man he thought was prestigious and elegant would have such a heinous side to him.
Sunshine was furious. Her cheeks puffed after listening to the recording.
âFelix, your daddyâs a bad man! Mommy has gone through so much to look for Pixie, but he refuses to help. He even bullied her. Heâs such a bad man!â
Dazed, Felix asked, âDo you think this is fake?â
Sunshine said, patting his shoulder, âFelix, there are male animals in the world who are also irresponsible beings!â
âMy daddyâs not like that! Iâll call him right now and ask him why he doesnât care about Pixie.â
Felix was both furious and anxious, thinking, âWeâve found Pixie already, so if Daddy helps Mommy, Iâm sure Mommy will be able to bring Pixie home. But why would Daddy do this?â Felix punched in Bradleyâs phone number, a number that he remembered vividly.
