Billionaire's Gift

Monica was wrong to marry a heartless man. Apart from work, Malcolm was only immersed in sadness all day long. He either gazed at Ivy's photos or checked Ivy's micro-blog with his mobile phone.

He treated Monica like an estranged sister, and he had no love for her at all. She was smart and beautiful, but she could not win his heart. He did not even enjoy sex with her. All these years, he had been nothing but cold and distant to her.

Since Ethon turned two, Malcolm had not touched Monica again. It was as if he had a love phobia.

The two of them only got married for the sake of getting married. They were bound in a legal union, but they lived their own lives. As Malcolm's wife, it was Monica's duty to birth him an heir. After Ethon was born, her role was considered played, and her husband could not care less.

However, Malcolm had never thought that he was not only torturing himself but also Monica. If he had not been so cold to her, she would not have killed Ivy.

Born in a prestigious family, Monica was familiar with this kind of fight, but when she was finally forced into it, she felt extreme fear. After manipulating Ivy into jumping off a building and ending her life, Monica started having nightmares about it, and so Ivy's dead body appeared in front of her. She woke up screaming and drenched in a cold sweat in the middle of the night. Although she had not seen Ivy's dead body, she still saw it in her nightmares as if she were close enough to touch it. It was all retribution.

Malcolm was rendered speechless by Ethon's question, and he no longer thought he was so righteous. Just as Ethon said, he was a selfish man. Malcolm had even thought of divorcing Monica even if, as a military officer, it was not appropriate.

Their marriage was a war that had been waged for a very long time. Now, it was finally about to come to an end.

After finding out that Monica was sick, Malcolm could not calm down. Monica was five years younger than he was. He

It was a common occurrence.

Monica tried her best to be a dutiful wife and did everything without asking for anything in return. She did not bother Malcolm unless she absolutely had to.

She was forced to be strong for a long time, and she had become accustomed to it. As a result, Monica grew more and more stubborn, even to an extreme extent. Before, she did not approve of Fiona, so no matter what Ethon said, she did not listen. Later, she came to realize that she did not want her beloved son to suffer like she did, so she chose to make a concession.

"I don't know the details, but Mom's condition is not very good. Her cancer is in the advanced stage. She doesn't have much time left. Dad... I didn't mean to talk to you the way I did just now. Please forgive me," Ethon apologized calmly, his mouth slightly twitching.

Malcolm just looked at him. He did not expect his proud son to apologize to him. It seemed that he had really grown up.

A man should be able to compromise. It was not right to be always domineering.

Feeling a little better, Malcolm held Ethon's arm. Then, he slowly reached out his hand and patted his son's shoulder. "It's all right, son. In fact, I want to thank you. Thank you for teaching me a lesson just now. I've been in pain for so many years. Maybe it's time I let it go."
