Her Marriage: The Night is Still Young-Chapter 59: Those Wild Women Outside Are Just for Fun, You Seriously Want to Bring One Home?
Nathaniel Gallagher’s face darkened, grabbing his son by the collar and pulling him in front of her, "Be good, she’s your real mommy, call her mommy."
Henry Gallagher pouted, terrified, retreating incessantly, "No, she’s not, she’s not."
"Hurry up." Nathaniel Gallagher shouted sternly, forcing his son to call her mommy.
Eleanor Churchill saw this and quickly intervened, "Nathaniel, don’t force the child."
"It’s understandable for the child to resist meeting me for the first time, let’s take it slow!"
After speaking, she stood up awkwardly from the wheelchair and hobbled over to Henry Gallagher.
Then, she squatted down, her face full of maternal love, and gazed at Henry Gallagher.
Even though Henry Gallagher was a little rascal.
He was very good-looking, extremely cute and charming.
He was wearing a custom-made little suit, leather shoes on his feet, clearly a noble young master of a wealthy family.
"...The son is really good-looking, exactly like you." Eleanor Churchill couldn’t help but feel moved, wanting to reach out and touch Henry Gallagher.
Henry Gallagher looked disgusted, "Hate it, don’t touch me."
"Henny, you can’t be like this. She’s your mommy, go and hug mommy."
"I don’t want to!"
"Nathaniel, forget it, let’s take it slow."
Eleanor Churchill said, quickly offering the prepared toys in a friendly manner, "Henny, it’s mommy’s first time meeting you, I didn’t know what you like, so I bought you some toys."
She didn’t know what children liked, so she could only choose the most expensive and high-end toys to buy.
Just one limited edition Transformers robot was worth as much as one of her Hermes platinum bags.
Henry Gallagher glanced at the toys she prepared, suddenly interested.
"Wow, it’s Transformers and Spider-Man."
"Do you like it?" Eleanor Churchill asked in a flattering way, showing no trace of fierceness on her face.
"...Yeah, uh, I like it!"
Children are easily bribed.
Buy some toys to pacify them, then take them to eat their favorite food, and the distance can be quickly closed.
Eleanor Churchill smiled full of maternal love, "It’s good that you like it, there are many more in the room!"
"Is it true?"
"Of course."
Henry Gallagher looked elated, "Really?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Eleanor Churchill said with a smile, "Of course it’s true, come, mommy will take you to see."
It’s her first time seeing her son, so she naturally can’t wait to give him the best things.
Whereas Josephine Thompson’s way of educating the child was exactly the opposite.
Not only did she not buy him too many toys, sometimes she even restricted him from playing too long. She always found various teachers to teach him to learn all sorts of things.
Of course, children don’t like it.
But within just one morning.
Eleanor Churchill got along well with Henry Gallagher, happily playing with him.
Nathaniel Gallagher watched the mother and son play together with a constant smile.
But for some reason, there was an indescribable pain and discomfort in his heart.
For them, the family reunion was harmonious.
But Josephine Thompson had to endure all the hurt alone.
Thinking back, his actions back then were indeed too treacherous.
"Henny, would you like to live here with mommy from now on?"
Henry Gallagher, playing with the toys, shook his head resolutely, "Uh-no, I still want to go home."
"Silly, this is your home."
"Hmm, it’s not."
Though he accepted her toys, he hadn’t accepted her as his mommy.
Eleanor Churchill, hearing this, still kept smiling and appeasing him.
Henry Gallagher turned his head to look at daddy, his little brows furrowed tightly, "Daddy, are you sure you want to replace my mommy?"
"...She is your mommy!"
"Then what about the previous mommy?"
"..." Nathaniel Gallagher’s face stiffened, his lips twitching involuntarily.
Eleanor Churchill slightly raised her eyelids, watching his reaction intently.
After a long while.
Nathaniel Gallagher took a heavy breath, "Henny, you’ll only have this mommy from now on."
Henry Gallagher looked puzzled, "Then what should I call the previous mommy when I see her?"
After all, he had been calling her mommy for three years.
He actually didn’t dislike mommy.
But Grandma Dixon always talked bad about mommy by his ear, which made him gradually dislike mommy.
However, last time when he encountered bad people outdoors. Mommy held him tightly on the boat, he found mommy’s embrace very warm. Moreover, mommy smelled nice, nothing like the dead person smell Grandma Dixon claimed.
Nathaniel Gallagher didn’t know how to explain and said grimly, "Don’t ask so many questions, in any case, she’s your only mommy from now on."
"Call her mommy."
Henry Gallagher heard, reluctantly looking at Eleanor Churchill, "...No, waah waah waah."
Nathaniel Gallagher was a bit frustrated, "I told you to call her mommy, didn’t you hear?"
Henry Gallagher dropped the toy, bursting into tears, "Waah waah waah, daddy, I don’t want a new mommy anymore, I still want the previous mommy, can’t I?"
"Is it because I’m too naughty? Mommy doesn’t like me, so she doesn’t want me?"
Nathaniel Gallagher’s anger was fierce as his son cried, his heart secretly pained even more, "Stop it, don’t mention the previous mommy again. She’s not your mommy, she is."
Eleanor Churchill hastily stopped him, "Nathaniel, don’t scare the child. The child is still young and needs to be educated slowly."
"..." Nathaniel Gallagher swallowed a heavy breath and forcefully suppressed his anger.
Eleanor Churchill once again showed a loving smile, "Be good, Henny, I won’t force you to call me mommy now, you can call me whatever you want."
"Come, let’s continue playing games."
She exerted all her effort to coax her son to be happy, and at the same time, her resolve to eliminate Josephine Thompson grew stronger.
Otherwise, the father and son would always be thinking about her.
"Nathaniel, can Henny stay here for a few days? I want to spend more time with him and develop a bond."
"...Henny has to go to kindergarten, it’s inconvenient for him to stay here. Let’s let him stay at the old house temporarily, with my mom looking after him. Don’t worry, I’ll often bring him over to see you."
Nathaniel Gallagher spoke gently and then handed her a supplementary card, "Eleanor, you can use this card to buy whatever you want."
"In the afternoon, a group of servants will come to take care of your daily needs. Whatever you need, just give instructions to the servants."
Eleanor Churchill, "Alright, thank you for being so considerate."
Nathaniel gently embraced her, speaking softly, "This is what I should do."
"So, will you stay here tonight?"
"..." Nathaniel paused again, then smiled awkwardly.
"Eleanor, I’ve been a bit busy lately. Once I finish dealing with things, I’ll move in and stay with you."
"Okay then!"
...
At night.
Nathaniel Gallagher took Henry Gallagher back home.
The Gallagher Family’s old house.
Mrs. Gallagher had already instructed the preparation of dinner. Seeing her son return, she frowned and asked, "Nathaniel, where did you take Henny today? Why weren’t you home the whole day?"
Henry ran to Mrs. Gallagher with a face full of grievance, crying, "Grandma, Daddy said he’s going to get me a new mommy. Today he took me to meet a scary, ugly woman and told me to call her mommy."
"..." Mrs. Gallagher was dumbfounded upon hearing this.
Nathaniel’s expression darkened, and he said sternly, "Stop it, from now on you’re not allowed to speak about your mommy like this."
Mrs. Gallagher: "Nathaniel, is what Henny said true? What exactly are you and Josephine planning? Are you really getting a divorce?"
Nathaniel’s face darkened further, and he said seriously, "Mom, Josephine and I are truly getting a divorce this time."
Mrs. Gallagher was stunned upon hearing this, "...Nathaniel, have you really been keeping a woman behind our backs?"
"Let me tell you, those women outside are just for fun, you can’t really bring them home."
"Yes, I am somewhat dissatisfied with Josephine as a daughter-in-law. But after all, you already have a child. She hasn’t committed any serious mistakes, there’s no need to really divorce her."
Nathaniel frowned, unwilling to explain much to her, "Mom, please don’t interfere in my affairs."
"In short, there’s no turning back on the divorce between Josephine and me."
Afterward, he stood up, feeling irritated, "Henny’s been brought back, I’m leaving now."
"Nathaniel, what on earth are you up to?"
Nathaniel left without looking back.
Mrs. Gallagher was perplexed, completely unsure of what her son was up to.
Honestly.
Her dissatisfaction with Josephine Thompson was merely venting, much like any mother-in-law nitpicking her daughter-in-law. She genuinely didn’t wish for her son to actually get a divorce.
Of course, she was entirely unaware of Eleanor Churchill’s existence and of the many deceitful things her son had done behind her back.
After Nathaniel left the old house.
He drove, and as if guided by fate, he arrived at The Antiquarian Market.
At night, The Antiquarian Market had all its shops closed.
Only the light in Josephine Thompson’s office was still glowing.
He knew she was definitely in her office at this moment.
He stood downstairs for a long time, smoking one cigarette after another.
Ultimately, he lacked the courage to go see her.
...
Inside the office.
Josephine Thompson had been awake for two days and nights now.
Wearing glasses, she was intently checking materials.
She was currently restoring a bronze tripod, and the inscriptions on it had been eroded.
To recreate the inscriptions, she had to thoroughly investigate the original owner’s history.
After two days of research, she had some leads.
This was a burial artifact; based on the existing text, the original can roughly be translated.
"These are engraved with the original owner’s life events; it appears to be an epitaph."
"I still need to check some more materials..."
She opened her computer again, but couldn’t help yawning.
Two days and nights without sleep, her body really was struggling.
"Forget it, I’ll stop for today and continue tomorrow!"
She stood up, walked toward her small resting bed.
These days, she intended to eat and sleep in the office until the restoration of the bronze tripod was complete.
Once she lay down, she fell asleep in seconds, too exhausted to ponder any issues.
The next day.
After waking up, she felt much more rejuvenated.
She got up, washed up, and sat at her desk, ready to continue working.
Meanwhile, she finally opened her phone, intending to reassure her grandpa.
"Buzz buzz..."
Just as the phone turned on.
Nathaniel Gallagher’s messages popped up.
[Josephine, your car’s been fixed, when are you coming to pick it up?]
[I want to talk to you about the divorce, call me when you see this message.]
He had sent her five to six messages.
After reading the messages.
Josephine Thompson was momentarily dazed.
