Damon Hawke never expected that Victoria Don would truly, as Elara Don had said, abuse her own son in secret.
His handsome face was grim, exuding an uncontrollable violent aura.
"Dad."
Beside him, Dominic Hawke's eyes gleamed as he tentatively tugged at Damon's sleeve.
It was the first time he'd seen his father get this angry at his mother.
Was it because of him?
Did he feel hurt when he saw his mother pinch him?
Damon's cold aura slightly dissipated when he saw Dominic.
He calmed his temper and lifted up his shirt to check: "Are you okay?"
There were a few red marks on the little guy's arm.
They were obviously from pinching.
Instantly, his aura sank again.
Dominic shook his head, but leaned a bit closer, relying on him.
Damon lightly pressed his thin lips together, picked up the little guy, and tucked him into the covers.
Turning around, his sharp gaze swept over the woman struggling to get up from the floor as he approached step by step.
"Victoria Don, from now on, you are not allowed to step near the Hawke Family again. I will give you some money, and our engagement will be annulled!"
The man's voice was deep, his powerful presence like The Asura from hell, making people shudder.
Victoria's heart trembled, and upon hearing his words, she felt even more flustered.
She stepped forward, grabbing Damon's hand. "No, Damon, I'm Charlie's biological mom, how can we cancel the engagement?"
It can't be!
How could Damon cancel the engagement with her?
"Victoria Don, you'd better not object while I'm still speaking nicely."
Damon grabbed Victoria's neck, his eyes filled with a bloodthirsty chill. "Just for what you did to my son earlier, if you weren't Charlie's biological mother, you would be dead!"
With her throat being choked, she felt suffocated.
Victoria's face turned pale, full of fear.
She saw the murderous intent in Damon's eyes.
At this moment, he truly wanted to kill her!
"Damon, please let go of me, I know I was wrong, I was just anxious because you all like Elly, I..."
Victoria's face alternated between blue and white from being choked, unable to speak.
Damon's face remained cold as he flung her aside, a flash of disgust crossing his eyes.
"Get out."
Is a woman of such low quality really his son's biological mother?
The seed of doubt grew clearer.
Victoria coughed violently, looking at Damon's clouded face, she fled in panic.
On the child's bed, Dominic crawled out from the covers, his eyes filled with starlight.
"Dad, are you really not going to marry Mommy?"
Is Dad finally separating from Mommy?
"Do you want me to marry your Mommy?"
Damon turned, looking at his son's bright eyes, softening his voice.
Dominic shook his head vigorously, "No, I want Aunt Charlotte to be my Mommy."
Always thinking about Aunt Charlotte!
Damon stared at his son's delicate face, and the image of Elara Don's pristine face flashed in his mind.
Was it just his imagination, or did his son not resemble Victoria at all, but rather, closely resembled Elara?
There's no such thing as unfounded favoritism.
Why does he feel an unexplained familiarity with Elara?
Why does his son have such affection for Elara?
He really needed Rhun Quinn to thoroughly investigate the events from four years ago!
"Dad, did you hear me?"
His son's soft voice pulled Damon back to his senses.
He stared at his son's bright eyes and tucked him back under the covers.
"Get some rest. And even though you're a man, never forget, you're Daddy's son. If you're bullied, never just endure it silently, make sure to tell me, understand?"
This child had suffered such a grievance and had been hiding it all along.
Truly heartbreaking and guilt-inducing.
Damon didn't directly answer, instead tucking the little one in, watching as he obediently closed his eyes, then turned off the light and left the nursery.
Once the door was closed, the little boy on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, showing a trace of excitement.
He took out his small phone and sent a voice message to Harry Soo.
"Bea, my dad found out my mom abused me. He kicked her out and said he wouldn't marry her."
He wanted to share this good news with Bea.
Hoping they could become a family in the future!
On the other end, Harry Soo received the message and blinked his big eyes.
"Dominic Hawke, my mommy doesn't like your dad, Uncle Miles is better. He's gentle with Mommy and good to me, I prefer him as my dad."
Uncle Miles?
Dominic furrowed his small brows, "Is he the uncle who dropped you off at kindergarten with Aunt Charlotte this morning? I saw him. He limps and isn't as handsome as my dad. He's not good enough for Aunt Charlotte."
Harry Soo: "..."
Well, what the young master said seems quite reasonable.
However, it seemed like Mommy had no plans to find a boyfriend.
"How did you see this morning? Do you go to kindergarten too? Why didn't I see you?"
Harry Soo changed the topic.
"I'm not at your Blue Sky Kindergarten, I'm at another elite kindergarten. Bea, I want to attend the same school as you."
Dominic's little brows furrowed tightly, and the thought of being ridiculed in kindergarten made him unhappy.
"What's wrong? Are you being bullied at school? Don't be afraid. If you're bullied, you should hit back."
Harry Soo's big eyes darted around, replying with a sentence.
Hit back?
That word wasn't in his vocabulary.
Dominic stopped talking.
Harry Soo sent another voice message, "I'm not saying anymore, Mommy is coming to tell me a story, goodnight."
Bea was showing off again!
He wanted that too!
Dominic quietly put down his small phone and lay back into the covers.
The Don Family.
Victoria Don held her mother and wept bitterly.
"Mom, what should I do? Damon said he wants to annul the engagement!"
Isabella Wolf patted Victoria on the back, comforting her while also scolding, "You too, how could you abuse that little thing?"
"Is it not because he's the brat of that bitch Elara? Seeing him makes me angry!"
"But you can't abuse him!"
"Mom, is it useful to say this now? I've always treated that little thing like this, who knew Damon would blow up this time? It's definitely that bitch Elara's trick!"
Victoria shoved Isabella aside, thinking about how Elara had confronted her at the company yesterday, accusing her of abusing the child, she wiped away her tears with a face full of hatred.
Isabella furrowed her brows, "Alright, listen to me, Damon doesn't know the child is Elara's right now, so what you need to do is find an opportunity to repent and seek the child's forgiveness. After all, you are the child's biological mother. As long as you handle the situation well, Damon will surely forgive you."
"And if Damon insists on annulling the engagement?"
"He won't, because..."
