My Husband Wants Me Dead (Esther and Bradley)
Chapter 434

Chapter 434

"I'm not mentally prepared yet. I don't know how to face her," Jacob replied.

Even though Jacob did not display his emotions, Esther could sense his unease. She tousled his hair, ruffling it into a messy tangle.

"Jacob, you've played your tricks on me, but I won't hold it against you." Esther suddenly shifted her tone to a more relaxed and energetic one. "Your mother's flight won't be long now. Shall we go pick her up together later?"

"I don't want to go..."

Jacob was just a child. How could he not want to see his mother?

He wanted to he really wanted to see his mother.

When his mother, someone he had only known through documents, data, videos, and photos, was about to enter his real world, his initial reaction was unexpectedly the urge to escape.

"Are you really not going?" Esther earnestly brushed aside the disheveled strands from Jacob's forehead. She smiled mischievously. "If you don't go, then I'll have to go alone to pick her up. You know, I'm quite famous because of this case. Who knows? Someone might want to get rid of me, so it's quite dangerous for me to be alone..."

Jacob silently lowered his head for a moment before finally uttering, "Then... I'll go."

Esther grinned. "Jacob, did you know your mother and I are best friends? Where we come from, best friends like to arrange pretend marriages for their children. How about I arrange one for you?" Jacob stayed silent.

Esther continued to jest. "I think Sunshine really likes you. Let's pick Sunshine, shall we?"

Jacob was still quiet.

"You don't want to?" Esther teased again. "Forget it if you're not interested. Love marriages are mainstream these days. It's not like I can whip up an arranged marriage now." Jacob did not say a word.

Sunshine and Felix were playing nearby. As soon as they saw Esther, they rushed toward her like a whirlwind. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Mommy!" they called out.

Esther caught the two little human tornadoes, one on each side, and fiercely kissed them respectively. "Mommy missed you both so much!"

Felix, all adorable and cute, asked, "Mommy, where's Pixie?"

Sunshine also looked around but did not see Pixie anywhere. "Mommy, is Pixie still in the hospital?"

Esther held Felix and Sunshine tightly in her arms, explaining gently, "No. Pixie is not my daughter."

Felix and Sunshine had the same puzzled look on their little faces.

"Mommy, if Pixie isn't my sister, then where is my sister?"

Esther shook her head with a pained expression. "I don't know where she is either."

Sunshine extended her hand to cup Esther's sad face and cooed. "Mommy, let's find her together. We'll definitely find her someday."

"Mommy, Sunshine is right. Let's find her together!"

Esther was downcast and disheartened when she learned Pixie was not her daughter. But Sunshine and Felix's words instantly uplifted her. She hugged the kids tightly as if she wanted to become one with them.

What she did not realize was that the daughter she had been yearning to find was right there- in her embrace.
