The IVF Secret That Shook a Dynasty novel Chapter 428

To his surprise, Melanie actually welcomed her with open arms.

And it wasn't just acceptance; they got along as if they were mother and daughter, dealing another heavy blow to Fletcher’s ego.

After about twenty minutes in the hospital room, Vivica finished her lunch. Thinking about the compatibility test he needed to do, Fletcher stood up as she was packing away the food containers.

“Chaim, Daddy has some things to take care of today. I’ll come back to play with you next time,” he said, saying goodbye to the boy with a heavy heart.

He couldn’t understand how he had been so bewitched by Riley Zuniga that he’d lost his mind, fixated on divorce and even willing to abandon the son he had raised for three years. Looking back now, he wanted to stab himself a couple of times for his foolishness.

“Mom, I have some things to discuss with him, so I’ll be leaving now. You two should get some rest this afternoon,” Vivica said gently to Sheridan and Melanie as she picked up her purse.

“Alright, you go on ahead. Don’t worry about us.”

Vivica said another goodbye to Chaim before turning to leave. The two bodyguards, who had been standing in the room like stoic sentinels, followed her out, flanking her just as before.

Now certain that any hope of reconciliation was lost, Fletcher felt a pang of grief, but he couldn't stop a sour, sarcastic remark from slipping out. “I have to say, you’re quite good at charming people.”

Vivica paused, confused. “What do you mean?”

“Look at how you’ve got Melanie wrapped around your finger. She’d do anything for you.”

Vivica chuckled, and seeing the undisguised jealousy on Fletcher’s face, she couldn't help but laugh again.

“What are you laughing at?” Fletcher’s expression darkened.
