Chapter 680 Don’t Get Me Wrong
The girl's eyes were moist, and she blinked at him, causing Stefan's eyebrows to furrow slightly.
He lowered his eyes, and when his eyes fell on Martha again, he happened to see Martha smiling.

Stefan thought of that and the disgust in his eyes dissipated somewhat.
As they walked and chatted for a while longer, Jimmy suddenly turned to his mommy. "Mommy, Ineed to go to the restroom. You guys go ahead."
"I'll go with you," Martha said before pointing towards a nearby restroom. "It's right over there."
Just as she finished speaking, Stefan spoke up in a low voice. "I'll go with you."
"It's okay. It's only a short distance away. Just wait for us here," Martha replied while looking back atStefan with a smile.
She took Jimmy's hand and headed straight for the restroom. On their way, they talked and giggled.
Helen saw them walk away, approached Stefan and said in a soft voice, "I wonder what they'retalking about. They're laughing so happily."
Stefan pursed his lips tightly without saying anything.
After waiting for some time without hearing any response from him, she didn't feel annoyed, butreached out to hug herself, gazed sadly at the lights not far away.
"When I was a child, when I saw my uncle's family having a good time together, I couldn't helpthinking if I would be one of the happiest kids too if my parents were still alive."

After waiting for a while, Helen still didn't hear the man beside him speak. She glanced sidewaysand saw the man's stern side face and deep eyes.
Her face turned slightly red, and her heart sank.
She keenly felt the sadness emanating from him, but pretended not to sense it.
With an envious look on her face, she said, "Stefan, you must have a very happy childhood."
"Mm-hmm," Stefan responded in a light tone.
When he was a child, he was indeed happy.
Memories of Martha accompanying him in those days involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
At that time, Martha wore a cute mask and had a childish and cheerful voice.
It was her who brought sunshine into his life.
For the rest of his life, he would try his best to protect her.
When Helen heard his husky and deep voice, her heart beat faster unconsciously.
She looked at Stefan, smilingly saying, "Now you have a wife and a lovely son. You also lead ahappy life now."
"Unlike me, I have nothing." After Helen said these words in a low voice, her head drooped, and herpretty face was full of loneliness.novelbin
Now she looked quite pitiful, and she didn't believe that this man would remain indifferent afterseeing it.
At this time, Stefan's gaze remained fixed on the bathroom not far away. He waited patiently forMartha and their son to appear.
Helen waited anxiously beside him without receiving any comfort from him.
She frowned, and stared ahead unkindly.
Damn it, didn't Stefan hear what she said just now?

She thought Stefan was a wise man to choose her since she was as beautiful as Martha yetyounger than Martha.
But little did Helen know how deeply Stefan loved Martha.
Her eyes rolled slightly, and she suddenly said, "I'll go to the bathroom over there to see why theyhaven't come back yet."
As soon as she took two steps, she pretended to be tripped by a stone on the ground, and fellbackwards with a soft cry, but she had aimed at falling into Stefan's arms from the corner of hereyes.
Stefan frowned, and just as he stepped back to avoid Helen, she had thrown herself into his arms.
Her hands tightly grasped his collar, causing him to furrow his brows even more.
After a moment of silence, Stefan reluctantly asked, "Are you okay?"
Helen pretended to steady herself and looked up at Stefan with wet eyes. Her body unconsciouslyleaned forward until it was pressed against him.
"Stefan, I accidentally tripped and fell down."
"Mm," Stefan responded indifferently. He took a step back in an attempt to avoid her touch butfound that she still held onto his collar tightly.
Helen didn't notice Stefan's impatience, and showed a pitiful look, calling out softly, "Stefan."
"Let go," he said coldly with obvious impatience in his deep gaze.
Upon hearing his icy tone of voice, Helen trembled slightly, pretended to be scared, and let go of hiscollar.
Stefan took a quick step back so as not to smell the strong fragrance emanating from Helen. Thatfragrance made him irritable for some reason.
The next second he turned towards the direction of the bathroom, happened to see Martha holdingJimmy's hand and walking towards him step by step.
He pressed his lips together, and just as he was about to step forward to explain, Helen spoke first,"Martha, you... don't misunderstand us. We didn't do anything just now."
