Chapter 7: The Beginning of Bad Things

I was annoyed to see Enzo, my daughter, lying in his arms, I don't know what he wants to me out here for. Enzo's appearance at this moment is very elegant, and dashing without showing any sloppiness, if it was any other woman would surely be crazy about this handsome and elegant man but I am not. It was impossible to enjoy this flash of Enzo.

I was like sitting on fire because I didn't see my daughter and the man opposite was so relaxed.

“Where's my daughter? Where'd you take her?” - I said angrily.

Enzo now lowers his teacup, his eyes cold and dark looking at me, I can see the contempt in the way he looks at me. That's right. Look at the present. Our identities are exactly the opposite. Enzo is the CEO of the Multinational Corporation. I'm just a regular clerk.

If I told everyone that I was Enzo's ex-wife, there would certainly be no one to believe it, and maybe they'd think I was crazy too.

Enzo said:

“Min is my daughter, it would be better if she was with me.”

I was stunned to hear him say so, I doubted or looked at Enzo. Enzo had never cared about Min before, why would he want to take Min away now? This I do not allow! He has no capacity and authority to take my daughter away from me.

“What? Do you want to take your daughter away? I won't allow that to happen, you stop talking paranoia and give me my daughter back.” - I clenched my hand, angrily shouting.

Enzo frowned at me, he didn't seem to like my mania and my wild words, but I couldn't stay calm while my daughter was with him, and I didn't know what was going to happen to her.

“From now on Min will be with me, she will enjoy the best and most expensive things, I do not want my child to live with a pitiful person like you.”

When I heard that, I smiled and laughed, this statement from a father made me difficult to understand:

“You said you'd give her all the best? Why didn't you do that before and now you say it? Do you think that you can say anything with a lot of money and a lot of rights?"

Enzo was not struck by these words, he looked at me arrogantly:

“So what? You must regret your decision to divorce me, Flo, but divorcing me is your biggest mistake. If you beg, I'll think about it. Are you can see, I am the head of the DIZ Group.”

As I expected, he thought I regretted the divorce decision, but it was a pity.

“It's a shame, Enzo, I've never regretted it, nor will I ever want to turn my back on you.”

“Are you so sure?” - Enzo laughed contemptuously at me, whether it was the case before or now that he had never respected and loved me. His gaze always made me feel myself is so small and ordinary.

Facing an iron man and coldly making me tremble and awkward, my voice also trembled, making him laugh even more.

“No matter what you say, I'll never think about coming back to you. Our marriage ended a long time ago!"

Enzo knocked his finger on the table, and the sound of *kick…kick… kick…* made me even more confused and confused about what to do. A stern and unapproachable cold radiated from Enzo, for a moment I thought the man opposite me wasn't an ex-husband I knew, it felt like they weren't the same person.

To hide my weakness and trembling spoke louder:

“Enzo, you are not qualified to take Min away, Min is my only remaining relative. Give her back to me!”

Enzo saw that I still refused to listen to what he said, immediately annoyed:

“Maybe the words I said you didn't put in your head, then you said why I wasn't qualified to have Min by my side.”

“Can you even say that? Do you think you've been her father since Min was born? Have you fulfilled the responsibilities of a father? You don't care about her either before or now. Min doesn't need a bad father and doesn't love her as you do.” - I stood up pointing directly at Enzo with a loud scolding voice, I hated Enzo's arrogant egotism and disregard for others, the words Enzo were not sincere.

Enzo grinned at my words: “I am Min's father, this is something that can never be changed, Flora, do you think your words will make me feel sad and regretful? It's funny, you think one mediocre and poor like you can give my daughter a better life?”

Now I'm speechless because he's right, I'm a mediocre man who's not rich. While pondering, Enzo continued, he relaxed and leaned back, his eyes nonchalantly looking at me as if he had predicted my expression.

“Min has a heart condition and needs urgent surgery, that hospital fee, you can't afford, if it's just a little bit more delay, my daughter will have the worst. Yet you always claim to be a good mother?”

"I... I..." - I was embarrassed and didn't know what to say, his words pierced my heart like a knife, and began to bleed, thinking about the fact that I had to borrow money and couldn't pay for Min's hospital bills making the corners of my eyes red, the bridge of my nose sting. I'm such a bad mother, and I always blame myself for not taking good care of my daughter.

Enzo saw the corners of my eyes turn red, he coughed a few times and then softly said:

“I know how I used to be, so I'm going to make it all up to Min so she doesn't feel disadvantaged. For Min to live with a mother like you, she will not be happy either.”

I sat down in my chair calmly, my hands knit tightly together, neither nodding nor shaking my head.

Enzo put a check on the table and pushed it back at me, saying:

“Write the number you want, as much as you want, just give a price. I won't let you down, Min has to be brought up by me.”

I looked at the check on the table, my head pounding with someone stunned and sore. Seeing that check a long time ago, I picked it up, and saw myself holding it up, Enzo smiled and satisfaction, but a second later he was surprised by my actions. A jamming sound. I tore that check to shreds in Enzo's presence. He probably didn't expect me to do that either, but Enzo's sudden unpleasant expression made me laugh.

I smirked this time I was the one mocking him:

“You despise me too much, indeed, I didn't have enough money to pay for the hospital but it doesn't mean I'm as cowardly as you said I am. For Min's sake, I might sell off my organs on the black market to get her money. As long as I live in this world, I will save the best for my daughter. And these papers are yours to keep on your own, don't give them to me, you make me disgusted.”

Enzo was surprised by my actions and words, he said angrily:

“You'll regret what you said.”

I threw the shredded paper straight into Enzo's face:

“I don't regret it! Do you think my daughter is a commodity? Enzo, I'm disappointed in you. What I regret most so far is loving you and marrying a cold-blooded man like you. I love my daughter and would risk my life if you took her away!”

He looked at me silently and said nothing, before Enzo's cold and deep expression I felt victorious, perhaps he had no words to refute what I said.

As Enzo and I were tense, we suddenly heard Min's call.

“Dad, Mom, are you two already here? Look, Taylor bought you a lot of things!” - Min excitedly opened the bag containing candy and mixed toys.

She bragged to me and Enzo, Min's sweetness and innocence shook my heart, I didn't want Min to see me argue with Enzo. I anxiously held Min and asked:

“Where have you been?”

“You go with Taylor, Taylor says she'll take you to the playground, I can play alone there.” - Min said cheerfully.

I stared at Taylor and bowed to thank her for caring about my daughter, but “can play alone there” in Min's words left me a little confused.

I held Min in my arms, even though she was being held in my lap, but somehow I had a feeling that Min would be taken away by the other man. I quickly said to Enzo:

“You let it go, I'll never accept it, don't make me angrier and hate you.”

Having said that, I shyly greeted Taylor and quickly left, Taylor just smiled and walked me out of the store.
