The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing
Chapter 136 Severing Ties

"Babe, what are you even talking about? I'm totally happy with just Mia. Who's saying anything about needing a son?" Victor asked, sounding a bit annoyed.

Liliana rolled her eyes and snorted. "Oh, it's your lovely sister, of course. She's been spreading rumors that I'm too old and that the Wilson family is going to dump me. I even heard she's planning a party to find you a new wife!" Victor was so shocked he almost fell off the bed. Grabbing his phone, he stormed out of the bedroom.

Liliana hadn't meant to bring it up, but it had been gnawing at her, like a thorn stuck in her heart.

Instead of calling his sister, Laura Wilson, Victor dialed his dad, Brian Wilson.

"Dad, I'm cutting ties with the Wilson family tomorrow. It's not just me, Mia's coming too. We're moving in with the Carter family. It's a done deal," Victor said, dead serious.

"You ungrateful brat, what kind of nonsense are you spouting?" Brian yelled, furious enough to strangle Victor. How did he end up with such a troublesome son?

"Nonsense? Me? Or is it you all who are crazy? Liliana almost died giving birth to Mia. I told you all, she's the only child I'll ever have. But you never stop. You're always plotting to get me to have a son with someone else. Well, I'm getting a vasectomy tomorrow. If you want a son so badly, go find a woman yourself. Leave me out of it!" Victor fumed.

He then hung up, his usually calm demeanor shattered. He rarely spoke to Brian like that, but this issue had pushed him over the edge.

He returned to the bedroom quietly, heartbroken to see Liliana lying with her back to him, clearly upset.

"Liliana, I'm sorry. This is all my fault. Please, don't let it affect your health. If you have to be mad at someone, be mad at me," he pleaded, his voice soft. Though he was a commanding presence outside, he was always gentle with Liliana. Liliana knew Victor wasn't the type to cheat, but the situation still hurt deeply.

"Victor, I'm the one who should apologize. I couldn't give you a son, and you've been under so much pressure from your family because of it. You could leave me, find another woman, and have a son. Mia and I wouldn't blame you," Liliana said.

She fell silent, waiting for a response. When she turned, she was shocked to see Victor, his eyes red and filled with tears.

"Liliana, are you leaving me? How can you say that? Are you planning to take Mia and abandon me? I might as well be dead then!" Victor choked out, his vulnerability laid bare.

Liliana quickly covered his mouth, alarmed. "Stop talking nonsense, Victor!"

Victor took the chance to hug her. Liliana felt something warm fall on her neck and knew Victor was crying, which broke her heart.

"But without you and Mia, how can I live? Tomorrow, I'm going to the Wilson Manor. I'll cut ties with them and move into your family. Let's see if they still dare to mess with us!" Victor declared.

His passionate outburst made Liliana laugh.

She wrapped her arms around his neck, looking at him fondly before giving him a light kiss. "You're such a big baby, making a fuss. I know you'd never abandon us, and I know you'll never change. I just worry you're under too much pressure." "Pressure? There's no pressure at all, Liliana. Being with you is the luckiest thing in my life, seriously," Victor said, dead serious.

With those words, he gently pushed Liliana onto the bed and kissed her deeply, unable to hold back his emotions any longer.

Meanwhile, over at the Wilson Manor, Brian had stormed into Laura's room and dragged her out of bed, kicking her down the stairs. "Tammy, pack Laura's things right away. She's leaving the Wilson Manor tonight!"

Laura, stunned, stared at Brian in disbelief. "Dad, have you lost your mind? Where am I supposed to go in the middle of the night?"

"Of course you should go back to your own home! You've been married for decades. It's time you stopped staying here so much. Why do you like meddling in other people's business so much? Go deal with your own husband and kids. They need you more! And let me be clear: if I ever hear you interfering in Victor's life again, I will disown you!"

Laura realized this outburst was undoubtedly because Liliana had complained.

"So that's what this is about. Dad, Victor only has a daughter. What's wrong with me trying to find him a wife who can give him a son? And for the record, I can't stand Liliana. All she's good for is her pretty face and clinging to men. She's a problem to the family!" Laura declared.

She didn't think she was wrong at all; she felt she was entirely justified and was doing it for the Wilson family's sake.

Brian's face darkened with fury. He snatched a teacup and hurled it at Laura, striking her head and drawing blood. "You're the problem here, causing trouble wherever you go! Victor and Liliana love each other dearly. How does that concern you? You just can't stand seeing others happy. Now, get out of here! And don't come back without my permission!"

Laura couldn't believe what she was hearing. Enraged by Brian's venomous words, she yelled, "I'm not leaving! This is my home too!"

"Not anymore. Tomorrow, I'm disowning you. The Wilson family has no daughter like you!" Brian declared.

Brian's decisive action had Laura sent to the Gibson Manor that very night.

Laura's husband, Duncan Gibson, wasn't as wealthy as the Carters, but he was a well-known real estate developer.

When Duncan was young, he looked like a movie star in a magazine, which captivated Laura. They got married just three months after meeting, and Brian only found out after they had registered their marriage.

Brian was furious at the time and wanted them to divorce, but Laura got pregnant, so the Wilson family finally accepted the marriage. Even now, Brian still held a grudge against Duncan.

That night, Laura found herself facing another heated battle.
