    Giant Baby


    I didn''t know if he took it to heart, but he stopped crying and fell into deep thought.


    I was shocked to see him in this state. I wondered if I had been too harsh in what I said. The


    series of blows he had received were indeed overwhelming for him.


    Although his actions were infuriating, he was also a vulnerable individual.


    leased up a bit, observing his emotions.


    After a moment, he looked at me. His face remained pale. He seemed much older, and I even doubted if this was the Matthew I used to know, always lively and confident.


    The person before me now appeared dejected and helpless.


    Chloe, can I still clear my name? For the projects I supervised, I didn''t cuters or use subpar materials, but for the one in Muborough, I knew nothing about them. It was all Liora framing me." His emotions calmed, and his thoughts became clearer.


    Then tell the truth to the judge. If you can''t exin it the first time, do it a second or third time until you can prove your innocence. That''s what a real man does." I encouraged him.


    I knew that all this time, he considered me his backbone. In the ten years we lived together, every big and small decision of his was discussed with me. He sought my advice before taking any action.


    After seeding, he would revel in his achievements, thinking he had done something significant.


    However, at that time, I couldn''t see this w in him. I thought a man should experience the joy of sess, and seeing results would boost his confidence.


    Unexpectedly, this became his fatal weakness. I became his crutch, his adviser. Without this support, he felt lost and even hopeless.


    I suddenly understood that all this was my doing.


    Before, when he got into trouble, I knew he had been trying to see me. If I had seen him, encouraged him, and provided guidance, he wouldn''t be in this situation today.


    Not seeing me led to his despair. That was an undeniable fact confirmed by his question just


    now.


    But I knew I was not obligated to be his lifelong supporter.


    We had already separated, and that was an undeniable fact. Even if he was Ava''s father, and even for the sake of Grace''sst wish, I couldn''t be his support for a lifetime.


    He should learn to be independent and move forward independently, no matter what he would face. This giant baby needed to grow up.


    But what I found ironic was that after helping him achieve sess, he betrayed and deceived me as he went on to have affairs.Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    How stupid of him.


    I collected my thoughts, admonishing myself not to continue my foolish behavior. After all, I''m not this giant baby''s mother.


    "Since you know she''s falsely using you, trying to take what''s yours, can''t you stop her? Can''t you take it back? Use your brain, not your foolish actions.


    ''Moreover, I''ve hired awyer with undefeated records for you. You should assist him, find crucial evidence to prove your innocence and defeat them."


    "Yeah, I can do that. Right, Chloe?"


    His words were like a child''s. I haven''t seen a man like him before. I couldn''t figure out how I could have been attracted to him.


    "I can''t answer that for you. You have to ask yourself. Don''te to me for answers. I''ve done everything I can to help. I told him straightforwardly.


    Then I hesitated momentarily and said, "But Matthew, you have to understand I have no obligation to keep doing things for you or be your guardian. You should take care of yourself from now on.


    "We have no rtionship anymore. This is your choice. You should face it and go through it alone."


    "Chloe, you..." He looked at me pleadingly, his eyes misty again.


    ''Take care of yourself and recover well," I said, and without tuming back, I walked away.
