My Supermodel Wife-Chapter 928 - We Are The Adler Family!
At this moment, Lyle stubbornly looked away from his mother. He was panting for breath, as if he had received a huge blow to his heart.
Leonhart looked at the document in his hand, waved at Kevin and the lawyer, looked at Michelle, and said coldly. "I've signed this document, now it's your turn. Leonard, it's not your fault. Lyle, it's your mom and dad's business, you didn't do anything wrong." 𝐟𝙧ee𝔀e𝐛𝓃𝐨𝚟𝑒𝗹.c𝗼𝚖
"I'm so surprised with your attitude indeed. We're divorced but you have to make trouble in front of the kids, your own son, why did it have to be? Do you really not think of how much they respect you? Do you really not feel it at all in your heart?"
"Even if you hate Leonard, was our 30 years of relationship nothing but a matter of profit in your eyes? He called you mother all this time, but he doesn't deserve to be the heir to the Adler family? You underestimate and misjudge the relationship between these two brothers, and you don't understand them at all!"
"I can tell you clearly, if you ever asked Leonard if he was willing to give the Adler family to Lyle, then he would definitely be willing to give it. I can even say bluntly that Lyle had never wanted to be the Adler family's head!
Leonhart's poignant words caused Lyle to nod helplessly. "Father, I don't want to be the head of the family, I just want to be the brother of my older brother."
Michelle slowly raised her head, looked at Lyle with a languid look, laughing while crying. "What are you saying…? I've done so much for you!"
Lyle gave her a curt look, seemingly sad and angry. "Why did you do all that?! Did I ever say that I wanted the position? Mom, brother Leonard never treated me badly. I made so many mistakes when I I was young and my brother always protected me all the time."
"Even when I grew up, he always came forward and helped me with my problems. Why did you have the heart to do all that to my brother? Even though he is not your son, he is still my father's son! You don't deserve to treat him like that!"
Michelle was completely lost because of these words.
In the end, it was she who was at fault?!
She just couldn't love this illegitimate child, was it really wrong?
She didn't know how much time had passed, but suddenly, Leonhart slowly bent down. He pulled Michelle off the floor, turned and said to Leonard and Lyle. "You two go back first. Whatever happens next, it has nothing to do with you guys."
Leonard glanced at Michelle who was losing her spirits, and when he turned around, he found that Lyle had left the living room first.
After the two had left, Leonhart pulled Michelle over to the front of the sofa.
Only the occasional sobs were heard in this desolate living room.
Leonhart put the divorce documents in his hand on the table. "Michelle, stop making trouble. Just sign it."
Michelle's breath was shaking, and with tears in her eyes, she lifted her head. "Husband… I…"
"You're not wrong, it's all my selfishness!" Leonhart saw her intention to refute and continued. "I've bought you a big house in the city center. Even if we divorce, I will continue to provide for you. I'll also take care of your problem with the authorities."
"In the future, you should still pay attention to your body. And you can come back anytime to see Lyle. As for Leonard…"
Leonhart stopped talking and looked at her with a regretful look. "These years, he has thought of you as his mother. If you hadn't done too much, I had planned to hide his identity for the rest of my life. He never hated you, your existence in his heart is even much bigger than mine."
Hearing this, Michelle closed her eyes tightly, covered her face with her hands, and cried loudly with her head down.
She did adhere to the promise she made with Lockhart, she thought it was an easy thing, but in the end, she lost in all aspects.
Wrong, very wrong….
After Michelle signs the divorce papers, she will be moving out of the Adlers' home in half a month. f𝔯ee𝘸𝘦𝚋𝒏oѵ𝐞l.c𝒐𝓂
Although he had no feelings for her, Leonhart was not a completely cold-blooded person. This divorce between the Patriarch of the Adler family and his wife will always be kept secret.
This is also the last form of respect that he left for Michelle.
As for Lyle, his parents' divorce might have dealt a huge blow to him, but basically, it would have no impact on his identity.
He would always be the most favored young master in the Adler family, and although his mother's behavior was unacceptable to him, time would erase all traces of it in his wounded heart.
...
At 3 pm, Leonard left the courtyard and walked back to the path in front of the door.
Michelle's words about him certainly affected his mood.
After all, she was the mother he had always respected, but he did not expect that everything was just an illusion.
Leonard's steps were a bit heavy, he was just walking around the tree-lined path and suddenly heard a small sound under an old tree.
He stood still, staring, and he caught a glimpse of Lyle leaning against the tree, his whole face buried in his arm, his shoulders still shaking slightly.
Leonard saw his figure, took a deep breath, and walked towards him.
"You're this big and still cry?"
Lyle's back stiffened, and he shook his head. "No, why haven't you returned to your house yet?"
"I was just about to go!" Leonard's soft palm fell on his back. As he looked around, he consoled in a deep voice, "Don't think too much, it's over."
Lyle still buried his face, and muttered in a hoarse voice, "Brother, can you not blame mother? If you hate her and if you want to beat her up, you can do it to me…"
He didn't have the courage to look at his brother's face, Lyle was afraid that his older brother would put on a disgusted and hateful expression.
At this moment, Leonard chuckled softly. "Can you even withstand my blow?"
Lyle suddenly raised his head, his eyes reddened, his lips curled, and he said sadly, "You really want to beat me?"
"You're a big boy, why do you keep crying? Remember what dad said, it's all over so let's forget the past!"
Lyle pursed his lips, and said earnestly, "Brother, I apologize to you on behalf of my mother. These things will definitely not happen again in the future. I am Lyle Adler and you are Leonard Adler, we are children from the Adlers. And you will always be my big brother."
Hearing Lyle's serious tone, Leonard raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Okay, I accept your apology. Satisfied now?"
"Then… What will happen after this?" The question came unanticipated.
But still, Leonard was the big brother here!
"Didn't I say don't worry? Let's go back to our respective buildings first. Today's matter… it's enough to end it here, so don't mention it again."
Lyle wanted to say something, but when he saw Leonard turn around, he fell silent.
When he looked in the direction Leonard had left, his eyes were wet again.
Lyle rubbed his eyes in annoyance, feeling that he was very fragile.
He knew that his eldest brother would be leaving overseas soon, And when he wasn't home, the only thing he could do was take care of the Adler family for him.
'Brother, I will wait for you to come back!'
...
Ten minutes later, Leonard walked back to his building alone.
The weather was still hot and the sun was shining brightly. After walking for a while, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
By the veranda, Mellisa had been standing there for a long time.
Hearing the sound of footsteps from far away, she turned around hastily, and when she saw Leonard's figure, she was clearly relieved.
She didn't call out to him, and just stared at Leonard in silence.
"Why are you standing here? Aren't you hot?"
Leonard subconsciously curled his thin lips when he saw Mellisa's figure, but his tensed expression made his smile look a little contrived.
As he approached, Mellisa lifted her head and caught the fine sweat on his forehead. She raised her hand and wiped it for him. "Is the problem solved?"
"It's done!" Leonard said in a soothing tone.
Mellisa stared at him for a moment, then took his hand and walked inside without saying a word.
Even though she wasn't as sensitive as Lilia, she could see the loneliness and decadence buried deep in Leonard's eyes.
