Ch20 - They actually not alike
Last Updated:
2025-04-13 20:00:47Emily gripped the test results so tightly her fingers trembled.
She had paid extra for the express lab work — 24 hours later, she now had the truth in her hands.
Aaron had been secretly slipping her birth control.
That’s why he was always so sure she wouldn’t get pregnant. All those times she’d hoped for a new life to start inside her, only to be met with disappointment after disappointment… and his comforting words, his fake concern?
She wanted to throw up just thinking about it.
All an act.

After divorce, He regretted Ch115 - Aaron's POV(11)
The moment I learned the truth, it felt like something cracked open in my lead-heavy brain—shattering all that weight into pieces.Relief rushed in, wiping out everything else. We have a kid. Our kid. Sixteen weeks old, growing inside Emily.What the hell was I doing all this time? I felt sick with guilt. She dropped hints—twice—and I didn’t take them seriously. She must’ve been devastated, especially during pregnancy, when emotions run wild. And I, her husband, gave her nothing. No comfort, no support.So yesterday when she purposely didn’t tell me the baby was mine, I get it. She has every right to be mad. If she still feels anything enough to be pissed at me… that means she still cares.And if there’s even a little chance she does, I’ll give her everything I’ve got. Whatever punishment she thinks I deserve—I’ll take it.Thank God I found out before our divorce hearing. I still have a chance to make this right.I rushed over to her office building. This time, I didn’t go in—I just w

When I saw her standing next to another man, jealousy twisted me into someone I barely recognized. I snapped—I said things I didn’t mean, lashed out just to pull her attention back to me. I just wanted Emily to look at me again.She frowned, lips parted, but no words came. I pressed again, reminding her that we weren’t even officially divorced yet. She was still my legal wife!The air turned ice-cold between us, and just then, Amelia came out from the nurse’s room, all bandaged up. That’s when I remembered—she’d said she was hurt too.I glanced over. Her hands, her knees… she looked like she’d been through hell. She gave me a tearful look, saying she'd gotten hurt trying to save Emily.Whether it was true or not, I didn’t understand how Emily could just walk away without saying a word. She didn’t explain a thing, didn’t clear up the situation.So I stopped her.Before Emily could speak, Theo cut in, turning on Amelia: "Helped? Or pushed?"I froze. What were they even talking about? Th

At that moment, Leo came in to tell me Francie’s bar was opening soon. I suddenly remembered—right, I still had that card up my sleeve.I leaned forward, elbows on the desk, fingers laced together, and after thinking a moment, told Leo, “Pick a few nice bottles from my wine cellar and send them over. Clear one day next week—I’ll drop by.”After Leo left, David came in with updates on the new VP candidates. Two profiles. One had only worked locally; the other had spent the last few years abroad and even served as regional CEO of a fashion brand. She’d come back for family reasons. I paused on her résumé. Clean background. Solid experience. And most importantly, she came home for her kid’s education—people like that tended to be stable and responsible. I told him to bring her up for an interview.Mera made a good first impression right away—calm, observant, said little but took everything in. I locked it in: she’d be Lopez’s new Vice President.A few days after Francie’s bar opened, I

Regarding that front desk staff issue, I told HR to deal with it. If there really was any rude behavior, they’d know exactly what to do.At the same time, I got a letter from the court—a formal notification asking the divorce and to confirm our marital status.Of course I don’t agree to the divorce. So I just tossed those papers aside. I’ll drag this out for as long as I can. Time’s on my side.Meanwhile, the contract for the bar was finalized. I gave it a quick once-over—looked good and told my assistant to get Francie to sign it.The bar was originally a joint venture between Francie and his friend Jett. I had someone go chat with Jett—just hinted at a few “collab opportunities” and the guy folded like paper. No hesitation. Sold his friend out on the spot.He handed over his proxy rights for his shares, which meant I now had full control over that investment.It was just a $200K deal—basically pocket change to me. I didn’t want to resort to this, but I just wanted a way to get Emily

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
