You, Me and Our Genius Twins -

Chapter 286
In the past, when Brian joined a project, he would call Rachael every day despite not being able toreturn. If conditions permitted, they would have a video call.
However, a month had passed since he joined the project, yet Brian did not make a single call. WhenRachael tried to call him, his phone would be turned off or it would go unanswered.
In the end, she broke down.
What's the difference between this and being a widow? If I continue to live like this, I might as wellchoose to get divorced. However, where can I replace another handsome and wealthy man like Brian?Moreover, he is a father to my two children. I cannot choose to divorce because of the children, unlessmy situation is desperate.
"Mom, what should I do?" Rachael ran to her mother and cried. "He is so cruel! His mother has beendead for so long. When can he stop being childish?"
Laine Morris nagged at Rachael, "I told you long ago that you should treat the child by his ex-wife well.You never took my advice! If you took care of him, Brian would also treat you well. You had a good lifebefore, and your friends were envious of you! However, you were not satisfied and kept messingaround. Now, you're in trouble!"
"Mom, I'm here for your advice, not to listen to your nagging." Rachael said while crying, "Brian isdetermined to ignore me. He didn't transfer me his salary this month. I contacted his workplace, andthey say he created another personal bank account. All his salary will be in that account. Now, he'signoring me and not giving me his money. I can't live with him!"
Laine sighed, worried for Rachael.
She thought for a moment. "Ray, you have to replace the root cause. You are arguing with Brian becauseof Alex. While Brian is not home, you must take Alex back, change your behavior, and make peace withhim. You must take good care of Alex and make him like you. When Alex is happy with you, Brian willcome back."
"But Mom—" Rachael was unhappy.
"This is the best and the only way." Laine patted Rachael's hand and said earnestly, "Ray, you're amother of two children. You must bear the humiliation and think of the overall situation. Because ofAlex, you and Brian were ridiculed, and your father and I didn't dare to get out of the house either. Ifyou don't coax Alex back, those infamies will be with you for the rest of your life. If you can get Alexback, others will say you have turned over a new leaf when they see you and Alex happy together.After some time, they will naturally forget what happened in the past. Then, your family will be at peaceand happy. You will still be the enviable Rachael Vasquez."
Rachael was silent upon hearing that.
At that point, she was rather interested in what she heard.
She had a hard time these days, not only because of Brian but also from the people around her.
Like Laine, she didn't even dare to go out unless necessary.
In the past, Rachael's husband was the youngest vice president of the scientific research institute. He
was handsome, wealthy, and devoted to his wife. Rachael didn't have to work. She gave birth to a sonand a daughter, and they were healthy. Usually, she went shopping, exercised in the gym, and walkedaround. She spent the day casually.
However, she was now public enemy number one. Everyone who knew her looked at her with astrange gaze. Some so-called friends called to 'comfort' her, but they mocked her instead.
Some people claimed to be the elders who watched her grow up and even stopped her and taught herhow to be a good person, as if she were a scum who had done something unforgivable.
Suddenly, Rachael Vasquez changed from a beautiful, envied, and sought-after vice president's wife toa scum who was despised and ridiculed.
She couldn’t bear the enormous difference.
These days, she could not even eat or sleep. Very quickly, she lost twenty pounds, her hair fell out, andher face turned gaunt. The spots and wrinkles simultaneously appeared, as if she had suddenly gottenten years older.
These days were like a living hell.
Therefore, Rachael was interested in Laine's proposal.
She felt that her mother was right.
People despise and laugh at me because I refused to raise Brian and Yuri's birth child. Thoseblabbermouths will shut up when I take Alex back, raise him and get along well. Although it's against
my will to raise the child of Brian and another woman, Brian is not even giving me living expensesanymore. If I bring Alex back, Brian may give me his money again…
Thinking about it, Rachael was less resistant to bringing Alex back.
"Mom, come with me!" She then took Laine's arm.
She didn't want to go alone; or rather, didn't dare to go alone.
Laine shook her head and sighed. "Okay, I'll go with you."
After all, Rachael was her daughter, so she naturally would help her.
"I'll replace someone to ask around where Alex lives now," Laine stated. "When we replace out, let's go andbuy some gifts for Alex and the lawyer, Miss Taylor. We have to visit them with politeness andapologize sincerely. You must reflect on yourself and change your bad temper. When you meet Alex,you have to invite him sincerely, or he will not return with you."
Rachael was full of displeasure when she heard that, but Laine said sternly, "Ray, you must recognizeyour mistakes in order to bring Alex back. Otherwise, it's useless to do that. Your life will still be in amess!"
"I just don't want to raise a child from another woman!" Rachael wiped her tears aggrievedly. "Alex isnot my child; why do I have to raise him?"
"You chose this life!" Laine slapped Rachael's arm angrily and said sharply, "Your dad and I bothadvised you back then you could easily get someone good because you're excellent. Why did you have
to marry a man with a child instead? It's hard to be a stepmother; this is the universal truth passeddown from the past. We did our best to advise you against it, but you didn't listen. You said you can bea good stepmother, but look at what happened!"
Rachael was silent.
At that time, she was hopelessly attracted to Brian, so she wholeheartedly wanted to marry him. Backthen, she felt that as long as she could marry Brian, she would be willing to do anything for him.
It's just raising a child; I can just treat him as a pet. It would be no problem if Brian loves me!
However, Rachael realized that was not the case after marrying Brian.
Alex was a human being. He was the product of the love between Brian and another woman. The moreRachael loved Brian, the more she couldn't accept the child hanging around under her nose.
