The party was not over yet. Alex left after receiving a call.
He said, "You've just returned to the Parks family. You can stay there for a while. I still have work to deal with. I'll leave first."
The voice was low and indifferent, as if the noisy party was incompatible with him and he was eager to leave.
I knew in my heart that this was just an excuse. After all, he didn't like such a noisy environment.
I raised my head slightly and looked into his eyes, trying to find more information from those deep eyes, but in the end, I didn't ask anything.
I didn't ask why he hadn't called me after waking up, nor did I ask who had saved him.
However, I knew very well that the big shot behind the scenes was related to Bailee. Alex seemed to exude a sense of alienation.
At that moment, I suddenly felt as if there was a ravine between us that could never be crossed.
I couldn't tell what he was thinking. I could only silently warn myself to rein in my thoughts and stop daydreaming.
After Alex left, Kailyn walked to my side and teased me with some schadenfreude. "Did the two of you quarrel?" I looked at her coldly and felt that she was ridiculous and pitiful.
It was as if she could take my place after I divorced Alex.
Actually, returning to the Parks family was just a show. Moreover, Maddox did not bring me back to the Parks family. He only arranged for me to stay in the Parks Manor.
Rebecca sat on the main seat of the party and looked at me with a deep gaze. She frowned and asked, "Where did Alex go?"
I answered, "He left because he had something to do." Rebecca's expression darkened when she heard that. She raised her voice. "What can happen at this time of night? Didn't he tell you where he went?"
There was a hint of accusation and dissatisfaction in her tone. Her words clearly hinted that I had not taken good care of my husband.
In front of outsiders, Rebecca acted like she doted on me, but in reality, she looked down on me. The high and mighty face of a rich person was vividly displayed.
I secretly clenched the corner of my shirt, my nails almost digging into my palms as I tried to suppress the anger in my heart.
I couldn't be bothered to argue with her. I would have left the party, but I still had to stay for something else.
Halfway through the party, a woman in her early thirties suddenly appeared with a little boy. The woman was wearing a well-tailored black evening gown that perfectly outlined her graceful figure. Her hair was tied up high, revealing her slender neck. Her makeup was exquisite, but there was a hint of haggardness and stubbornness in her eyes.
The little boy was wearing a handsome suit and his eyes were sparkling.
The moment he saw Maddox, the boy broke free from the woman's hand and pulled his arm. "Daddy!"
The originally noisy party hall suddenly fell silent. Everyone's eyes focused on the three of them.
Maddox's body instantly froze, and before he could put away the smile on his face, it froze awkwardly. A trace of panic and shock flashed across his eyes.
The woman's eyes locked onto Maddox. Tears flickered in her eyes, and her lips trembled slightly. She wanted to say something but hesitated.
She walked to Maddox. She took a deep breath and tried to sound calm. "Maddox, after so many years, you won't even give me a chance to see the child?"
The surroundings were terrifyingly quiet. Maddox did not respond to the woman. He just frowned and stared at her coldly.
The little boy opened his eyes wide and looked at his mother and then at Maddox. He seemed to have sensed that the atmosphere was not right. His small hand grabbed his mother's skirt tightly and asked timidly, "Mommy, doesn't Daddy know me?"
The childish voice reverberated throughout the party hall. Maddox opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he realized that his throat was dry and he could not make a sound.
Kailyn recovered from her shock and stood up abruptly, walking to the little boy's side. "How dare you make a scene here?"
As she spoke, she pushed the little boy away. The little boy was only about five years old. After being pushed by Kailyn, he staggered two steps and fell to the ground. He immediately burst into tears.
At this moment, everyone in the party hall looked at the mother and son who had suddenly appeared.
A person asked, "What's going on?"
Another person asked, "Why does Maddox have another illegitimate child now?"
The whispers around her entered Rebecca's ears. She stared at Maddox and tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart. "What exactly is going on?"
"Grandma, don't be angry. This woman must have nothing to do with my father," Kailyn hurriedly said, glaring fiercely at the woman who helped the little boy up.
Rebecca's face was ashen. She slammed her walking stick on the ground a few times and scolded angrily, "Maddox, what's going on? Explain yourself!"
I quietly watched this farce unfold. If not for the fact that the occasion was not right, I really wanted to laugh out loud.
It was especially interesting to see Kailyn sitting beside Maddox. She was clearly furious, but she had no choice but to endure it.
It was not in vain that I spent a lot of effort to find the mother and son.
Maddox composed himself and said with difficulty, "Mom, this... this is a misunderstanding. This child has nothing to do with me."
The woman sneered and tears streamed down her face. "Misunderstanding? Maddox, your son is already so old. How long do you want to avoid talking about this?"
The more she spoke, the more agitated she became. She completely lost control of her emotions. She covered her face with her hands and burst into tears. The little boy also cried. As he cried, he shouted, "Daddy, please do not abandon Mommy and I..."
Everyone whispered to each other, their eyes filled with curiosity and speculation.
The Parks family had spent a lot of effort organizing this party. They originally wanted to show off their strength, but they did not expect to become a laughing stock.
After all, no woman would openly cause trouble at Rebecca's birthday party.
I stood up unhurriedly and walked to the woman's side. I patted her shoulder gently and said softly, "Miss, don't cry. Let's talk about it."
The woman looked up at me with tears in her eyes. There was doubt and gratitude in them.
I handed her a handkerchief and said, "Your child is still here. Let's not scare him."
As I spoke, I squatted down and held the little boy's hand. I coaxed him softly, "Be good. I'll bring you to have something food, okay?"
He said, "You've just returned to the Parks family. You can stay there for a while. I still have work to deal with. I'll leave first."
The voice was low and indifferent, as if the noisy party was incompatible with him and he was eager to leave.
