Love me or leave me (Rebecca and Theodore)
Chapter 266

Isabella thought for a moment and then suggested, "Why don't we call the moving company?"

Carly frowned. "But there are so many things. Where should we put them?"

"Let's put them at our place first. Adrian's mansion is large, and there are plenty of rooms. We can put these things here," Isabella said.

Carly hesitated. "But... will this trouble you too much?"

Hearing this, Isabella stopped and looked at her sister. She said angrily, "Carly, do you see me as an outsider?"

Upon realizing the situation, Carly hurriedly shook her head. "No, I don't mean that. I-I'm just worried that Adrian will be unhappy if I move so many things there."

Adrian happened to come over. Hearing her words, he said helplessly, "Carly, do I look like such a mean person?"

Hearing this, Carly was stunned for a moment. Then, she realized that she had overthought. She thought, 'The Carter family is indeed different from others. Their family members are very nice.' "Well, then... Ronald and I will move our things there first, and then I'll go and replace a house. When we replace one, we will move out immediately," said Carly.

Isabella knew what Carly was thinking. She nodded and said, "Okay."

Carly was relieved when Isabella agreed, so they packed the things with relief.

They packed all the important things by themselves, while Isabella called someone from the moving company directly for other things.

In the house, the things that belonged to Carly and Ronald have been moved away, leaving Charles' things. Carly didn't want them either. Everything was packed, and they left together. Charles finally panicked. He anxiously caught up and begged Carly to go back. However, she firmly pushed him away. Charles still wanted to harass them, but the bodyguards immediately went over and pulled him away.

Many residents in the area couldn't help but secretly watch the commotion.

Although there were many onlookers, only a few would come to meddle in their business, especially those who knew about the situation of their family.

Living in the same neighborhood, many of the residents knew about Isabella and Carly's situation, especially the latter. They saw her as a poor woman whose husband often lost his temper and inflicted domestic violence.

Before this, many people did not understand why Carly didn't divorce and leave the scumbag. So, no one felt strange to see Carly leaving that day. On the contrary, everyone couldn't help but be happy for her. They thought, 'It's good that she can figure it out. She will get better and better after leaving him.'

Although some people thought it was best, it was inevitable that there would be some with stubborn old-school mindsets who felt that Carly did wrong.

These people criticized her inwardly, 'They are married and have a child. Why did they make such a ruckus? Nowadays, young people are selfish. They only care about their comfort and don't think about their child at all. That child is so young and still in kindergarten. His parents are getting divorced when he's at a young age. He will have no home after that. What a pity!'

However, Carly didn't want to care about these people's thoughts anymore. She didn't want to be stopped by others' opinions.

In the past few years, she was bound by those thoughts and always felt that she couldn't get a divorce. If she got a divorce, it would be bad for her child.

However, the truth was that if the problem between her and Charles couldn't be solved, their conflicts would never stop. A home with no happiness but only resentment and distress was not good for a child at

all!

Charles wanted to catch up but was

stopped by the bodyguards arranged by Adrian. Charles was scared and didn't dare to fight with those bodyguards. In the end, he could only helplessly watch Carly leave with Ronald. After seeing them leave, Adrian called his bodyguards and left together.

Adrian didn't go to work today. He asked the driver to drive home directly when he left Carly's house. As Isabella, Carly, and Ronald left before him, they arrived home first. Adrian arrived later, but he felt much happier when he arrived at his home.

It was a small standalone mansion, which was Adrian's private property, not the house where Patrick and Debra lived for a long time. They were by themselves in the mansion, so Isabella and Carly felt more comfortable.

Isabella was so happy when Carly finally got rid of Charles and moved out. After getting out of the car, Isabella immediately began to move their things in. She wanted Carly and Ronald to move in as soon as possible and stay away from that jerk.

Carly was also moving things. It was not the first time she had come to Adrian and Isabella's new home, but it was the first time that she came as a stay-in guest bringing so many things, which made her

nervous.

There was no butler in the mansion,

and there were not many

housekeepers. There was only one cook. Adrian thought it was unnecessary to hire so many people before, but later Isabella moved in with him. Isabella didn't like being served by too many people. She felt that she could do a lot of work on her own, and there was no need to hire outsiders. Adrian respected Isabella's idea, so he didn't hire help.

Now, they were alone. It was a little tiresome to tidy things up, but it made them happy.

Adrian moved all the heavy things in. Some daily necessities that were used often were put into the guest room, and some seldom-used things were put into the temporary warehouse.

After unpacking, Ronald blinked and asked happily, "Mom, do we really don't have to live with Dad anymore?"

Carly looked down at Ronald and nodded. "Yes, I don't want to go back anymore."

Ronald was immediately in a good mood and nodded hurriedly. "Uh-huh. I don't want to go back either!"

Although Ronald was Charles' son, Charles hardly fulfilled his responsibilities as a father. In the past few years, Charles treated them coldly when he came back home every day. He always lost his temper and became abusive.

Charles looked down on Carly and didn't even treat Ronald nicely, let alone take care of him.

Thinking of Charles' attitude toward Ronald in the past few years, Carly felt that she was stupid in the past.

She wondered, 'Why should I be influenced by those traditional ideas and feel that only a 'complete' family is the best for our child? In fact, not having a father is better than an irresponsible one!'

"Carly, I'll give you some medicine." Isabella brought some ointment and wanted to apply it on Carly.

Just now, Charles' slap onto Carly was not light at all. Her face was reddened before, but now it was visibly a little swollen.

"I-I'm fine. I don't need those," Carly suddenly stammered.

Although the person in front of her

was Isabella, she didn't want

Isabella - her sister and her only

family to know that she had a bad

-

life. When she got beaten before, she hid everything from Isabella as much as possible. She only let Isabella know when she could no longer hide the truth.
