Chapter 4
So, in his eyes, that was all my worth?
“That’s great. I have something for you too.”
I handed him a divorce agreement. “Sign it.“N
Elias frowned, thinking I was just being difficult. “I’ve already given you a way out. Just stop it.”
“If it weren’t for that photo, I would’ve been with Clarissa a long time ago and she wouldn’t have had to suffer so much. You only lost an unborn child, so why are you acting so heartbroken?”
“You want me to sign? Fine, I’ll sign it right now!”
He signed the divorce agreement without hesitation and left without looking back.
The doctor standing outside the door sighed. “I asked you to come here to comfort her, not to provoke her. How could you actually sign that agreement?“N
“I just want to see how long she can keep up the act.”
“What if you really get divorced?“N
Elias looked at me with disdain. “She used every trick she had to marry me. How could a bootlicker like her be willing to get a divorce?“}}
So that was what I was in his eyes?N
I laughed so hard that I forgot when I should be crying.
I wiped away my tears, took out my phone and posted a status. [I got divorced today.]
As soon as that went public, people began laughing at me.
[She must’ve been abandoned by her husband because of that scandal.]
[Come to think of it, what man can tolerate seeing his wife being humiliated like that?]}
[And she was even pregnant. How embarrassing.]
Among all the comments, one in particular stood out.
It was from Cassian Rourke. [She wasn’t abandoned. She chose me. We’ll be getting married in three days and everyone is welcome to attend.]
I returned to the Hawke Family home and took back what was rightfully mine.
When I walked into the room, I saw the wedding photos still hanging on the wall.
My eyes could not help but feel sting.
In fact, Elias and I did have some sweet times after getting married.
Back then, the company was on the verge of bankruptcy and Elias had to bear the burden of supporting the entire family. It was an
enormous pressure.
Every time he came home, he reeked of alcohol.
He went up to the rooftop in a daze and was about to jump off the building.
At the last moment, I held him back, stayed by his side and helped him get through the difficulties bit by bit.”
Onginally, he did not want to see me at all after the wedding, but after that incident, he took the initiative to say to me, “We didn’t take any wedding photos before. Why don’t we take them now?“}
I would always remember how he clumsily helped me lift my long dress.”
I also remember the moment when he was so nervous that he kept rubbing his hands together before bending down to kiss me.”
But all of that was in the past.
I said, “Let’s throw this away.”}
When I turned around, I saw Elias standing behind me. He spoke in an impatient tone, “Are you done acting like a child?”
*Clarissa saved my life back then. I need to repay her.“W
“You and I are husband and wife. You should support me instead of acting like a spoiled child.”
“Her career has finally started to take off and she can’t be stuck here. She won’t be able to handle the blow.”
“You know, when she called me that day, she was already standing on the rooftop. What was I supposed to do? Just stand by and watch her jump?*%
“She’s a girl who was already devastated after going through something like this. Is it wrong for me to comfort her?“”
There was no mention of love in any of his words, but every sentence dripped with affection.
He should ask himself. Hadn’t she received enough so–called comfort from him over the years?
Just because she enjoyed being the center of attention, Elias spent a huge amount of money to pave the way for her acting career.S Even when she failed at every stage of a production, she was still showered by his support.
