They weren\u2019t truly married, and he had no obligation to her. He didn\u2019t want to risk a future showdown where she could leverage a child against him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But now, things felt different. There was a logic to Stella\u2019s words. No matter how strong-willed Khloe was, a child would tie her to him, just like Angela-she would become inseparable.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Yet the thought passed quickly. Trey snapped back to reality and instinctively defended Pete.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPete did wrong, yes, but sending him back to the orphanage? That\u2019s extreme. At worst, I\u2019ll punish him at home, make him reflect, and keep him indoors for a while.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pete was his son. After finally being officially welcomed back into the Fox household, sending the boy away now would make it even harder for him to return in the future.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is your father\u2019s decision, as well as mine and Mom\u2019s,\u201d Stella said gently, trying to reason with him. \u201cTrey, I know you\u2019ve grown attached after two years, but you can still see Pete often. Just don\u2019t let him remain in the Fox household. Once you have your own child, you\u2019ll no longer have any ties to Pete.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pete couldn\u2019t hold back his sobs. He clung tightly to Trey\u2019s leg, trembling. \u201cDaddy\u2026 I don\u2019t want to leave\u2026 I want to go home\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cListen, brat. If you misbehave, no one will want you. You\u2019d better leave obediently. Maybe next time, someone else adopts you, you\u2019ll learn your lesson.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Stella had meant to tease Pete, but her words struck Trey like a knife.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom! Pete is my son. I won\u2019t let him go!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Unable to bear the boy\u2019s tears, Trey ignored Stella\u2019s fury and scooped Pete into his arms.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrey-\u201d Stella\u2019s roar echoed down the corridor, but he didn\u2019t look back.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pete squirmed against his shoulder, still sobbing and stammering apologies. \u201cI\u2019m sorry, Daddy\u2026 don\u2019t leave me\u2026 boo-hoo\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t worry. Daddy will never abandon you.\u201d Trey patted his son\u2019s back gently, but inside, his heart twisted.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He had once calculated everything, abandoned feelings without a second thought, sometimes even acting with ruthless coldness. But now\u2026 he didn\u2019t want to continue down that path.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe had forced him to reflect-and he truly needed to. If he had resisted the family\u2019s pressures when he was with Angela, she and Pete wouldn\u2019t have suffered. If he had met Khloe sooner\u2026 maybe his choices would have been different.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Stella, unable to stop him, was fuming. \u201cUnbelievable! Khloe is out of control, and now, Trey too? What has gotten into them lately?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lauren, however, remained calm. \u201cPete isn\u2019t the main issue. A child, even an adopted one, can be managed. The real trouble is Khloe.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She reached for her reading glasses and dialed Khloe\u2019s number, confident that if Khloe hadn\u2019t gone to bed, she would answer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But the call went straight to voicemail.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 147\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Stella\u2019s frustration only deepened. \u201cMom, Khloe only dares act this way because she knows you support her! I think now\u2019s the time to assert your authority, teach her a lesson, and curb her arrogance!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lauren\u2019s expression darkened slightly at the unanswered call. \u201cNo matter how bold Khloe is, she\u2019s more useful to the company than you and Alicia are! I may be old, but my mind is sharp. The moment Khloe isn\u2019t by Trey\u2019s side, Angela will try to take advantage\u2026 And look at that-it seems I was right all along!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 147 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 147 \u2013 Love [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[78],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26664","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-billionaires-checkmate-novel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26664","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26664"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26664\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26664"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26664"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26664"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
