You, Me And Our Genus Twins

Chapter 286

In the past, when Brian joined a project, he would call Rachael every day despite not being able to return. If conditions permitted, they would have a video call.

However, a month had passed since he joined the project, yet Brian did not make a single call. When Rachael tried to call him, his phone would be turned off or it would go unanswered.

In the end, she broke down.

What's the difference between this and being a widow? If I continue to live like this, I might as well choose to get divorced. However, where can I find another handsome and wealthy man like Brian? Moreover, he is a father to my two children. I cannot choose to divorce because of the children, unless my situation is desperate.

"Mom, what should I do?" Rachael ran to her mother and cried. "He is so cruel! His mother has been dead for so long. When can he stop being childish?"

Laine Morris nagged at Rachael, "I told you long ago that you should treat the child by his ex-wife well. You never took my advice! If you took care of him, Brian would also treat you well. You had a good life before, and your friends were envious of you! However, you were not satisfied and kept messing around. Now, you're in trouble!"

"Mom, I'm here for your advice, not to listen to your nagging." Rachael said while crying, "Brian is determined to ignore me. He didn't transfer me his salary this month. I contacted his workplace, and they say he created another personal bank account. All his salary will be in that account. Now, he's ignoring me and not giving me his money. I can't live with him!"

Laine sighed, worried for Rachael.

She thought for a moment. "Ray, you have to find the root cause. You are arguing with Brian because of Alex. While Brian is not home, you must take Alex back, change your behavior, and make peace with him. You must take good care of Alex and make him like you. When Alex is happy with you, Brian will come back."

"But Mom—" Rachael was unhappy. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

"This is the best and the only way." Laine patted Rachael's hand and said earnestly, "Ray, you're a mother of two children. You must bear the humiliation and think of the overall situation. Because of Alex, you and Brian were ridiculed, and your father and I didn't dare to get out of the house either. If you don't coax Alex back, those infamies will be with you for the rest of your life. If you can get Alex back, others will say you have turned over a new leaf when they see you and Alex happy together. After some time, they will naturally forget what happened in the past. Then, your family will be at peace and happy. You will still be the enviable Rachael Vasquez."

Rachael was silent upon hearing that.

At that point, she was rather interested in what she heard.

She had a hard time these days, not only because of Brian but also from the people around her.

Like Laine, she didn't even dare to go out unless necessary.

In the past, Rachael's husband was the youngest vice president of the scientific research institute. He

was handsome, wealthy, and devoted to his wife. Rachael didn't have to work. She gave birth to a son and a daughter, and they were healthy. Usually, she went shopping, exercised in the gym, and walked around. She spent the day casually.

However, she was now public enemy number one. Everyone who knew her looked at her with a strange gaze. Some so-called friends called to 'comfort' her, but they mocked her instead.

Some people claimed to be the elders who watched her grow up and even stopped her and taught her how to be a good person, as if she were a scum who had done something unforgivable.

Suddenly, Rachael Vasquez changed from a beautiful, envied, and sought-after vice president's wife to a scum who was despised and ridiculed.

She couldn’t bear the enormous difference.

These days, she could not even eat or sleep. Very quickly, she lost twenty pounds, her hair fell out, and her face turned gaunt. The spots and wrinkles simultaneously appeared, as if she had suddenly gotten ten years older.

These days were like a living hell.

Therefore, Rachael was interested in Laine's proposal.

She felt that her mother was right.

People despise and laugh at me because I refused to raise Brian and Yuri's birth child. Those blabbermouths will shut up when I take Alex back, raise him and get along well. Although it's against

my will to raise the child of Brian and another woman, Brian is not even giving me living expenses anymore. If I bring Alex back, Brian may give me his money again…

Thinking about it, Rachael was less resistant to bringing Alex back.

"Mom, come with me!" She then took Laine's arm.

She didn't want to go alone; or rather, didn't dare to go alone.

Laine shook her head and sighed. "Okay, I'll go with you."

After all, Rachael was her daughter, so she naturally would help her.

"I'll find someone to ask around where Alex lives now," Laine stated. "When we find out, let's go and buy some gifts for Alex and the lawyer, Miss Taylor. We have to visit them with politeness and apologize sincerely. You must reflect on yourself and change your bad temper. When you meet Alex, you have to invite him sincerely, or he will not return with you."

Rachael was full of displeasure when she heard that, but Laine said sternly, "Ray, you must recognize your mistakes in order to bring Alex back. Otherwise, it's useless to do that. Your life will still be in a mess!"

"I just don't want to raise a child from another woman!" Rachael wiped her tears aggrievedly. "Alex is not my child; why do I have to raise him?"

"You chose this life!" Laine slapped Rachael's arm angrily and said sharply, "Your dad and I both advised you back then you could easily get someone good because you're excellent. Why did you have

to marry a man with a child instead? It's hard to be a stepmother; this is the universal truth passed down from the past. We did our best to advise you against it, but you didn't listen. You said you can be a good stepmother, but look at what happened!"

Rachael was silent.

At that time, she was hopelessly attracted to Brian, so she wholeheartedly wanted to marry him. Back then, she felt that as long as she could marry Brian, she would be willing to do anything for him.

It's just raising a child; I can just treat him as a pet. It would be no problem if Brian loves me!

However, Rachael realized that was not the case after marrying Brian.

Alex was a human being. He was the product of the love between Brian and another woman. The more Rachael loved Brian, the more she couldn't accept the child hanging around under her nose.
