My Husband Wants Me Dead novel (Esther and Bradley)

Bradley had witnessed Esther being pushed into the incinerator. What more did he expect?
Xara didn’t disturb Bradley. Instead, she went to check on the three children.
Jacob exuded a big brother vibe, and Sunshine and Felix were sensible. They had teachers for studies and a butler for daily life.
Now pregnant again, Xara couldn’t afford excessive worry due to her health. Moreover, she had to attend prenatal classes
regularly.
As Xara prepared to leave, Bradley blocked her way, asking, “Dr. Sadler, can I see Felix?”
“Felix is your son. If he wants to see you, I have no objections.”
Choked, Bradley didn’t know what to say.
“I’ll ask him,” she said.
After consulting Felix, Xara arranged for him to meet Bradley. Father and son sat face to face.
Felix sat upright, displaying an unusual maturity for his age mirrored in Bradley’s face.
“Felix,” Bradley began.
Felix looked up at Bradley. The latter’s eyes were gentle, and his tone soft as he said, “I’m going back to the country. I know
you’re doing well with the Sandersons, and I’m relieved.
“The Warner Group is now under your name. Study well, and it will be yours in the future. My contact details haven’t changed. If
you need anything, feel free to call me.
“Felix, I know you’re not ready to forgive me yet, and that’s okay. I can wait. I can wait until the day you’re willing to forgive me.”
Bradley stood up, walked to Felix, and crouched down gently. He put his arms around Felix’s shoulder and hesitated. Despite
Felix’s stiff body, Bradley gave him a tight hug.
The moment Bradley embraced Felix, he became particularly tense. They were father and son, who used to be close but now felt
awkwardly estranged.
“Felix, wait for my good news.” Bradley released Felix, ruffled his hair, and left with large strides after taking a deep breath.

Felix watched Bradley’s departing figure, and in that instant, the heart that Bradley had hurt softened again. He looked at
Bradley’s departing back with a sudden surge of reluctance.
Despite the deep reluctance, Felix didn’t chase after Bradley. He just silently watched him until he got in the car and left. Even
then, Felix didn’t make any move.
Sunshine sneakily stuck half of her head out. Seeing that Bradley had left, she then trotted over to Felix.
“Felix, are you going to cry?” she asked.
Felix looked at Sunshine, who took out a handkerchief, making a gesture as if to wipe his tears.
“Felix, if you want to cry, go ahead. I won’t make fun of you.”
With such a cute expression, Sunshine coaxed Felix into a small smile. He lowered his head and typed on his phone screen.
Felix: [I had a moment of softness just now.]
Sunshine glared at Felix with both hands on her hips, saying, “He deserves it! He bullied Mommy like that! If not for him, Mommy
would be happy—very happy!
“Felix, he’s not worth your pity.
“If you soften your heart, I... I...” Sunshine fiercely said, “I won’t talk to you anymore!”
