Damon Hawke never expected Victoria Don to actually mistreat her own son in secret, as Elara Don had said.
His handsome face was grim, and a violent aura he couldn't control surrounded him.
"Dad."
Off to the side, Dominic Hawke's bright eyes cautiously tugged at Damon's clothes.
It was the first time he saw his father so furious with his mother.
Was it because of him?
Did seeing his mother pinch him make him ache with sympathy?
The cold aura around Damon Hawke slightly dissipated when he saw Dominic.
He held back his anger and lifted his clothes to check, "Are you okay?"
The little guy's arm had several red marks.
It was obvious they were freshly pinched.
Immediately, the aura around him sunk again.
Dominic shook his head but leaned closer to him dependently.
Damon Hawke pressed his thin lips together, picked up the little guy, and tucked him back into bed.
He turned around, his cold, sharp gaze sweeping over the woman getting up from the floor, and stepped closer.
"Victoria Don, from now on, you are not allowed to come near the Hawke Family. I will give you some money, and our marriage contract will be annulled!"
The man's voice was deep, his powerful presence like a specter from hell, chilling to the bone.
Victoria Don's heart trembled, and she was thrown into a panic upon hearing his words.
She stepped forward and grabbed Damon's hand, "No, Damon, I'm Charlie's biological mother, how can we annul our marriage!"
We can't!
How can Damon annul their marriage?
"Victoria Don, while I'm still speaking kindly, you better not have any objections."
Damon Hawke grabbed Victoria's neck, his gaze filled with bloodthirsty coldness, "Just for what you did to my son, if you weren't Charlie's biological mother, you should die!"
The grip on her throat made her gasp for air.
Victoria Don's face went pale, full of fear.
She saw the killing intent in Damon's eyes.
At this moment, he genuinely wished to kill her!
"Damon, let go, I know I'm wrong, I was just anxious because you all like Elly, I..."
Choked by the grip, Victoria's face alternated between pale and green, unable to speak.
Damon Hawke wore a cold expression as he flung her away, a flicker of disgust passing in his eyes.
"Get out."
This low-quality woman is truly his son's biological mother?
The seed of doubt grew clearer.
Victoria Don coughed violently and fled as she looked at Damon's stormy face.
The little boy on the child's bed climbed up from the covers, his eyes sparkling.
"Dad, are you really not going to marry Mommy anymore?"
Dad is finally going to separate from Mommy?
"Do you want me to marry your mommy?"
Damon Hawke turned around, looking at his son's bright eyes, his voice softening.
Dominic vigorously shook his head, "No, I want Aunt Charlotte to be my mommy."
He really can't forget Aunt Charlotte!
Damon Hawke stared at his son's delicate, chiseled face, and Elara Don's pure face flashed through his mind.
Is it his imagination, or does his son not resemble Victoria at all, but rather, Elara seems very similar?
There is no love without reason.
Why does he feel a familiar bond with Elara Don?
Why does his son have such a favorable impression of Elara?
He should really have Rhun Quinn look into the events from four years ago again!
"Dad, did you hear me?"
His son's childish voice pulled Damon's thoughts back.
He stared into his son's bright eyes and tucked him back into the covers.
"Get some rest. Also, though you're a little man, don't forget you're Dad's son. If you suffer any bullying, don't silently endure it. Be sure to tell me, understand?"
This child, enduring such grievances, but always keeping them from him.
His heart aches, and he feels guilt.
Damon didn't answer directly, instead, he tucked the little fellow's blanket, watched him close his eyes obediently, turned off the light, and left the child's room.
Once the door closed, the little bundle on the bed opened his eyes again, showing a hint of excitement.
He picked up his small phone and sent a voice message to Harry Soo.
"Tangbao, my dad knows mommy mistreated me. He kicked her out, and said he won't marry her."
He wanted to share this good news with Tangbao.
How he hoped they could be a family in the future!
On the other end, Harry Soo received the message and blinked his big eyes.
"Dominic, my mommy doesn't like your dad, Uncle Miles is better. He's gentle to Mommy and nice to me, I like him more as my dad."
Uncle Miles?
Dominic furrowed his little brows, "Is he the uncle who sent you to kindergarten with Aunt Charlotte this morning? I saw him, his legs aren't good, he's not as handsome as my dad, not a match for Aunt Charlotte."
Harry Soo: "..."
This little lord's words seem to make sense.
But, it seems Mommy isn't planning to find a boyfriend.
"How did you see it this morning? Are you also going to kindergarten? How come I didn't see you?"
Harry Soo changed the topic.
"I'm not in your Blue Sky Kindergarten, I'm at another noble kindergarten. Tangbao, I want to attend the same school as you."
Dominic tightly furrowed his brows, thinking about being laughed at in kindergarten, and felt upset.
"What's wrong? Are you being bullied at school? Don't be afraid, if bullied, fight back."
Harry Soo's big eyes sparkled as he replied.
Fight back?
There's no such term in his dictionary.
Dominic was silent.
Harry Soo sent another voice message, "I won't say anymore, Mommy's coming in to tell me a story, goodnight."
Tangbao is bragging again!
He wants it too!
Dominic quietly put down his little phone and laid back into the bed.
The Don Family.
Victoria Don clung to her mother, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Mom, what should I do? Damon said he wants to cancel the marriage contract!"
Isabella Wolf patted Victoria's back, comforting her while reprimanding, "What were you thinking, how could you mistreat that little thing?"
"Wasn't it because he's the brat of that bitch Elara Don? Seeing him just pisses me off!"
"That still doesn't mean you should mistreat him!"
"Mom, does it help to say this now? I've always treated that little thing this way, who knew Damon would fly into a rage this time? It must be Elara that bitch causing trouble!"
Victoria pushed Isabella away, thinking of yesterday at the company when Elara accused her face-to-face of mistreating the little thing, she wiped her tears with a look of hatred.
Isabella furrowed her brow, "Alright, listen to me. Right now, Damon doesn't know that the child belongs to Elara, so what you need to do is find a chance to repent and seek the child's forgiveness. After all, you're the child's biological mother. As long as you do the etiquette right, Damon will surely forgive you."
"What if Damon insists on annulling the marriage?"
"He won't, because..."
