2025-04-08 20:02:25Since that conversation, the atmosphere between them had turned oddly tense. Emily didn’t bring up the baby again. Instead, she made a point of waking early—just in time to catch Aaron before he left for work.
Emily walked over as he stood in front of the mirror fixing his tie. “A friend of mine introduced me to a job. It’s back in fashion design.”
Aaron noticed she was speaking to him first so his tone wasn’t cold like before. “Where’s the job? If you wanna go back to designing, you could just work at my company. I’ll have HR find you a position.”
If this had been the old Aaron, he probably would've shut it down immediately—told her sketching was fine as a hobby, no need to go work. But after their recent argument, he didn’t want to add more te

But Frank didn’t buy it. He even looked kind of pissed. Said, “You’re telling me everything you’ve done for Amelia is just out of gratitude?”To me, yeah. That’s all it is.I dragged on my cigarette, puff after puff, listening to them talk. They started saying they never expected Emily—who always seemed so soft, to be this firm about divorce.I muttered, not willing to accept it, “She just hasn’t thought it through yet.”Emily’s just pissed right now. Once she’s out there long enough, hits a few walls, realizes how harsh the world can be—she’ll start missing the quiet days of being a stay-at-home wife.Coming back is just a matter of time. There’s no way she’s living comfortably in that old, busted apartment.Frank said he was gonna call her, see if she’d come pick me up. I didn’t stop him.The phone rang in the private room. I held my cigarette, trying to look casual, chill. But when I heard her voice on the other end, my hand trembled just slightly.And just like that, whatever flic

But she said she didn’t need my consent anymore—I’d already signed it.I froze. What do you mean I already signed it?! I snatched the papers and flipped to the last page. There it was. My signature. Clear as day in the bottom right corner.How…?That thing she got me to sign last night—that was the Statement of Intent to Divorce?She had this planned all along. I actually fell for it. Was I a goddamn joke to her last night? Did she hate me so much that she could give herself to me like that—pretend everything was fine, just so she could slide the blade in quietly and walk away for good?She even said she didn’t want a cent, just that old apartment I bought her years ago. I couldn’t even process the rest of what she said, my eyes were glued to that damn paper.She said being my wife for three years meant something to her, that she’d put real love into this.And what about me? Like hell I didn’t! Every part of me in those three years was real.I stared at her—so calm, so empty. How the

After that conversation, something shifted between us—it got weird. Emily never brought up the baby topic again.One morning, she got up early and actually started a conversation. Said she wanted to talk to me about going back to work. A friend had recommended her for a position. If she really wanted to work, I told her she could just join Lopez—I could easily give her a cushy job, and nobody at the company would dare give her attitude.But she still insisted on joining another company. I agreed. I didn’t want to control every damn thing and start another fight.She seemed to warm up a bit after that. I saw the softness return to her eyes, and something in me stirred. I cupped her face and kissed her—sweet and soft and suddenly my whole body lit up. I kissed her deeper, pried her lips open with mine, unable to hold myself back. I picked her up and carried her straight to the bed. But just as I was getting into it, she turned her head and said she wasn’t feeling well.I paused, disap

I went with Emily to visit her grandmother, Ruth. But I couldn’t understand why, out of nowhere, she suggested letting Ruth be discharged early. Ruth was in the best private suite in the hospital, with two full-time caregivers rotating around the clock. Emily had never objected before. So why now?After we left the hospital, Emily stayed quiet, visibly upset. When I said Ruth should stay hospitalized a little longer for safety, she sighed and snapped, “I don’t wanna fight with you. You’d win anyway. You’ve got power, money… in the end, you always get to decide.”I was doing what I thought was best for them. Was that wrong? Why did she have to say it like I was some kind of tyrant?Then she looked me straight in the eye. “Aaron, do you think just because I haven’t worked these past three years, I’ve gone stupid? Or is it that you really think I’m that naive—easy to lie to?”I didn’t know how to respond. Honestly, her mood swings lately had been erratic—unpredictable. It made me wonder

What happened next was a total disaster. Because I didn’t want to make a scene at the office, I raised my voice at Emily—something I instantly regretted.I let frustration speak first. “You’re being completely irrational! When did you turn into this?”She didn’t yell back. Just scoffed, cold as hell, with that look that cut deeper than anything she could’ve said.I didn’t know how to defuse the chaos. All I could think of was getting her out of there before things got worse. I grabbed my phone. “Leo, get up here. Now.”I needed her out safely. I needed to clean this up.Leo showed up in less than two minutes. I snapped, “Take her home. If she disappears, you’re responsible.”She left without a word, didn’t even glance back. And for a second, I hesitated. But maybe letting her cool off at home was better—for both of us.After she left, I told Amelia to go too. Said I’d think about the collab later. I tried focusing on work, but Emily’s expression—those eyes, just wouldn’t leave me. It
After divorce, He regretted Ch106 - Aaron's POV(2)
Married life with Emily turned out better than I expected. My grandfather and mom both liked her, and she was willing to go along with everything I planned. I don’t know when it started exactly, but every time she listened to me—every time she followed my lead—I felt this deep, satisfying sense of control.Whether it was her quitting her job to be a full-time housewife, or how she tried so hard to get pregnant because she knew I wanted a big family... it all felt like everything in my world was perfectly in place. Coming home was peaceful. Safe. She felt completely mine.And truth is, I did my best to meet her needs too. The things she asked for were simple—more time together, dinner with friends, just stuff like that.One night, after having dinner with her friend Georgia and Georgia’s husband, Emily was wiped out and fell asleep right away when we got home. A text came through on her phone. I was just gonna put it on silent—but I saw it was from Georgia, and something just told me t
