Chapter 50: Defining a Beautiful Marriage

Not only Min's attitude toward Rollo was terrible, but Enzo also had a similar attitude toward Rollo. Since moving here to live, Rollo was just a child but was bullied and uncomfortable by his father and sister, and he was very pitiful and resentful.

But I didn't tell everyone the truth, I could only silently apologize to my son for hiding this truth.

During the meal, the four of us didn't speak a word, and the atmosphere was extremely tense. Rollo dared not look up at anyone, perhaps because he was still scared and upset about yesterday's events, and also because Enzo's attitude towards him was very cold.

Although his attitude was very terrible, he did not say anything to hurt the child-like before. I was also less worried.

The atmosphere here still could not be more harmonious, and I was happy that Min and Enzo's relationship was better than I imagined. Enzo also fulfilled his duty as a father very well, and his attitude towards his daughter was very doting. By Enzo's side, Min was like a little princess. But my pitiful Rollo had to suffer many grievances because of my misunderstandings.

After Enzo and Min left, there were only me and Rollo along with the servants in this large villa.

At first, I didn't want to pay attention to them and didn't want to ask them to do anything. Their master was Enzo, who was not here, and their attitude was no longer gentle and respectful.

They talked very loudly to each other, as if intentionally letting me hear it even though I was in the room with my son. The noise grew louder and louder and without any restraint. Everything began from here.

"She really has no shame, maybe she was raised by dogs. Her master is so kind, even though she has a child with her lover, he still allowed her to come back here."

"That's right, that woman is so shameless, who knows how many men she has been with? That little boy is definitely the product of a reckless affair."

"Truly disgusting! Can't Mr. Enzo satisfy her? So she went looking for other men."

"Why does Enzo accept such a terrible woman?" This was something everyone was curious about.

"And her illegitimate child too. Yesterday, Miss Min was so angry when that little boy touched her toy with his dirty hands. Yet she defended her lover's son instead of Miss Min."

"Because I didn't want Miss Min to play with such a dirty child, so I told her the truth."

"That's right, Miss Min should know the truth that Flora and her son are not worthy to be here!"

I watched them talk for a long time, and I had been patient not to erupt in anger, but they had crossed my limits. I approached and asked:

"The truth? The truth about what? What did you say to Min?"

In yesterday's incident, Min’s words were like a knife piercing my heart, and I thought Enzo was the one who told her. But it wasn't Enzo who spoke, it was the girls in front of me.

The girl who stepped forward in front of me was also the witnessed of the two children fighting over toys but did not stop it yesterday. Her arrogant and challenging expression made me very uncomfortable. I had never caused them trouble or pressure, but why did they have such an attitude towards me, not just now, but even in the past?

She said:

"Did we say anything wrong? Your son is just an illegitimate child that you brought back from outside, he has no connection to the Robert family at all..."

There was a loud smack that shocked and surprised the maids present. I sneered at the young girls who were aggressive and said:

"This slap is to warn you to keep your mouth shut and not say such vile and disgusting words."

Another girl stepped forward and questioned me:

"Why did you hit her? We didn't say anything wrong. Don't think that because Mr. Enzo allows you to live here, you can give yourself the title of Robert's Madam!"

I crossed my arms and looked at them indifferently, and said, "I never needed that title, but you spoke ill behind my back and even insulted my son. I won't let this go!"

The girl seemed to hate me very much, she said:

"Then what? Mr. Enzo also said the same thing, that you and the child should be treated that way. We're not afraid if you want to tell Mr. Enzo. But I'm sure you won't dare because it just proves that you are a violent and disgusting woman."

Their blatant and baseless lies and rumors made me feel hopeless and ridiculous. They just relied on a few words from Enzo and concluded what kind of woman I was.

When Min and I found out about Enzo's true identity and started living together with him, the servants here looked down on me without even trying to hide it because I wasn't the daughter of some wealthy clan or a famous person. They looked down on me because I was just a normal person who didn't belong there.

Before, I used to think they were right because I was just as they described me. I also felt that I didn't have the right to be angry, so all I could do was avoid them and hope to leave Enzo as soon as possible.

But now, I have a good job that recognizes my abilities, and I can live well without Enzo. And my son Rollo is not my biological child. Enzo and Min both misunderstand Rollo because I didn't explain and resolve that misunderstanding.

But that doesn't matter because no matter what, outsiders like them have no right to judge me and my son, let alone act as if they are standing for the truth and exposing my crimes.

I said:

"It's ridiculous that you don't know how things happened, but just because of a few words from Enzo, you're ready to conclude who I am. I feel like you're not relying on Enzo's words but clearly, you've hated me from the beginning, so you deliberately said that."

The girl seemed to be heartbroken and said:

"We're not like what you said!"

I want to laugh at their embarrassed faces:

"Then wait until Enzo comes back, I'll ask him. That's fair for everyone."

They heard that and remained silent without saying a word, I knew they were afraid that their mater would reprimand them for their arbitrary words.

I didn't have much time to care about them, although they spoke so arbitrarily about me, they were just young girls who came here to work and receive a monthly salary. I thought things would end like this, I just wanted them to know that I wasn't someone who could be easily teased and degraded like before.

But the words of a woman caught my attention. As soon as I looked at her, I recognized her as Enzo's mistress that night. She was a famous person, but I couldn't remember if she was a model or an actress, or a social media phenomenon.

She arrogantly looked at me like a bug and said:

"Hello, madam, after all these years, you're back. Or should I say the harsh life outside made you unable to bear it, so you begged Mr. Enzo to come back?"

I felt annoyed and said:

"Who are you?"

She was a very beautiful woman, with an aura of charisma that made those around her bow their heads, especially men, no man could resist the allure of this woman.

"OH, I thought you knew me well, Mr. Enzo's ex-wife, I am his lover, you can call me Rika."

I didn't care what her name was, I wanted to know why she came here.

"Why are you here?"

"Of course, I'm here to find Mr. Enzo, isn't he here?" Rika seemed nostalgic.

I sighed, whoever she came to find wasn't within my scope of attention. I turned to leave and go back to my room, my son was still waiting for me, but Rika wasn't going to let me leave so easily. She said:

"Why are you still here when you and Mr. Enzo have divorced? Aren't you ashamed, Flora? Oh, I heard that you have a son with your lover, is that right? You're a filthy woman, Mr. Enzo is such a great man, and you can betray him like that."

I remained silent, not responding or admitting anything. Anyway, everyone had already misunderstood me, so let them misunderstand. I had no obligation to explain to anyone.

I looked at her arrogant appearance, it turned out that Enzo liked women like her, his preferences weren't bad. I sighed in my heart, every man liked women who were sexy and attractive like Rika. If I had to evaluate, the woman who deserved to stand by Enzo was definitely Rika, not me.

I turned to look at her and said indifferently:

"Then go ask him, I don't know why I should talk to you anymore. Enzo may be coming back soon, so please stay in the living room and have some tea, I still have to take care of my son."

Perhaps Rika didn't expect my attitude to be so calm and indifferent. But in truth, when I saw my husband's mistress come to our home, I didn't feel anything towards her, no jealousy or anger at all. Normally when a wife sees her husband's love coming to their home, she would be extremely angry and might even attack her, but I didn't do that.

She still didn't approve and disliked my indifferent attitude, so she started shouting and insulting me loudly, her voice was so loud that even though I had already entered the room and closed the door, I could still hear her.

Rollo looked up at me with curious and puzzled eyes, his innocent gaze made me feel relieved. Rollo asked, "Mom, who's calling you?"

I shook my head, Rollo was too young to understand such things, and he shouldn't have to understand them. I sat down and rearranged the toys Rollo was playing with and said, "It's nothing, you don't need to pay attention."

Rollo was silent for a while before asking again, "Mom, when will Dad come to pick us up, I don't like it here. Nobody here likes me."

I felt sorry, if I could easily leave like that, I wouldn't let my son suffer these grievances. The woman's voice faded slowly and disappeared, I knew Enzo had returned, and I thought they might do something inappropriate for children. Even though this was his house, I didn't want Rollo's soul to be stained by the actions of adults.

I said to Rollo, "Wait for me for a moment." I didn't know how to face that couple, but suddenly I heard a loud noise. Enzo had slapped the woman, not only me and Rika were surprised by his actions, but all the servants were stunned too. Enzo coldly looked at the woman lying on the floor, and said, "Who allowed you to come in here!"

Rika hugged her face, still burning from the slap, she never expected Enzo - the man she always admired would slap her so ruthlessly.

"Why did you hit me, what did I do wrong?" Rika weakly cried, her pitiful appearance made others feel sorry for her. "Your mistake is entering here without permission," Enzo spoke fiercely and coldly, then turned to a servant and said,

"Quickly fire those who allowed her to come in here." The servant nodded awkwardly and quickly left. Rika couldn't accept being dismissed like that, so she tried to hold Enzo's weak hand and said, "Enzo, you cannot treat me this way, we are lovers. You cannot treat me badly like this."

Suddenly, Rika's eyes looked up at me, even though I had no intention of interfering in their conversation. She pointed straight at my face and said, "Did she beg to come back? Haven't you divorced already? Why can she be here but I can't?"

Being unexpectedly involved in their conversation also made me feel embarrassed, but I couldn't cowardly run back to my room. All I could do was stand still and watch this drama unfold.

Enzo also looked up at me, his fierce and indifferent gaze remained unchanged. He pushed the woman next to him away and said to the servant, "Take her out, I don't want to see her for another second. If you still let her enter here as she pleases, then you don't need to work here anymore."

The servants rushed to take Rika out, she continued to protest and cry to Enzo, but after the villa's doors closed, no sound could be heard from outside anymore.
