I Transmigrated and Got a Husband and a Son

Chapter 31 - 35

CHAPTER 31: Isn't it too over the top?

Heaven wasn't acting when Axel drove at maximum speed, almost crashing the car into another vehicle. Although the speed or danger in his recklessness didn't scare her, she was fighting this strong emotion surging in her heart. The words she expressed somehow hurt her heart, and Heaven couldn't deny that.

Fortunately, Axel was a good driver. Still, his reckless driving warranted angry honks and the police pulling them over to the side. His connections saved them the trouble of getting a ticket, but still, he was lectured to drive safely since he was not only putting his life in danger but also the people on the highway.

After a long lecture from the police, Axel and Heaven journeyed in silence. They didn't talk for the rest of the journey, dropping her off at the Zhu Mansion. As soon as they arrived, Heaven glanced out the window.

'This house,' she whispered inwardly as a sudden memory resurfaced in her head.

A memory of Heaven gazing out the window and seeing this beautiful mansion for the first time. The original Heaven carried a heavy heart back then. It was the same heaviness the current Heaven felt right now. The only difference was that the original Heaven saw this place as a prison, while the current Heaven saw this as a beautiful place she had ruined.

"Get out. I have another errand to do." Axel broke the silence in the car, keeping his eyes ahead without showing a sign he wanted to look at her.

Heaven breathed out and nodded, picking up the paper bags. But before she would hitch outside, she turned her head in the driver's seat.

"Thank you for the ride. To be honest, I don't know the address I lived for the past five years." She smiled, watching Axel look at her with furrowed brows. "So, I really appreciate your help."

With that being said, she didn't idle and left the car. She marched toward the front door, glancing over her shoulder on the way, but didn't slow down in her steps until she got inside. Meanwhile, Axel kept his eyes on her until she was out of sight.

"That woman... she didn't even ask about her son and she dared speak about changes." Axel scoffed, treating everything she had said as empty words. "She probably got scared that my brother would divorce her. Sooner or later, I wouldn't be surprised if Dom finally woke up from his foolishness."

Axel clicked his tongue, sneering. For him, everything she said was nothing but lies. Even though Heaven never showed signs she was taking advantage of their family's wealth and connection, Axel's dismay at her existence concluded that was probably the reason she suddenly had a change of heart.

Heaven was right.

Grandma Zhu and Dominic's parents wouldn't be her problem. However, Axel would be one because this guy could be very unforgiving. Considering Heaven was the way she was for the past five years, he would take some time to accept Heaven's intentions.

******

Heaven threw herself on the large couch in the family area. Unlike how Dominic arrive at the mansion, no one welcomed her home. Not that she cared. She preferred some time alone after spending almost two hours with Axel.

'Gosh...' Heaven blew the stray hair on her face, melting on the couch with the paper bags still in her hand. 'I couldn't even enjoy such a peaceful ride because of this conscience.'

Her lips curled down, feeling the beating of her heavy heart. 'Surely, he hates me. I don't care about him, but somehow, I felt him.'

No brother or family would allow others to hurt their family. The current Heaven would go to war if one of her family members — a member of the organization — got hurt by another felon. She remembered erasing a mob family overnight because they beat up Bear, almost killing him. Therefore, she could understand Axel's feelings.
