I Refuse to divorce Chapter 24
Joshua’s heart skipped a beat. What was happening? Why... why would Marilyn show up at his house at this hour? He looked down at Astrid, whom he was carrying over his shoulder like a common sack of grain. How could he possibly explain her presence to Marilyn?Faking a calm expression, Joshua turned around. "Marilyn?" Seeing her silhouette standing by the door made his blood run cold.In that moment, he couldn't have cared less about the unconscious Astrid; he practically tossed her onto the sofa like a piece of unwanted luggage and hurried to open the door for Marilyn."Why are you out so late? Aren't you cold?" Although he was glad to see her, he was riddled with unease. Had she been tracking him?"I... I was just so worried about you," Marilyn said, twisting her fingers nervously. She paused for a beat before adding, "So I came to check on you. When I found out you weren't at the office, I wondered if you might be here."Marilyn stepped into the villa. It was exactly as it had been

Hearing this, the voice on the other end seemed to let out a sigh of relief. "So that’s it. No wonder. Then, please, try to get some rest and go home soon." Marilyn gritted her teeth, her heart simmering with a quiet agony."I will. You should get to bed early, too. Goodnight." Joshua’s face softened with affection. This little fool is so sweet, he thought. He promised himself he’d never overlook her again; his beloved Marilyn worried far too much.Meanwhile, in the empty office, Marilyn let out a long, heavy sigh. In the office? Is he really?After Joshua had dropped her off at home, she realized she had forgotten to handle a critical document. Checking the clock, she saw it was already dinner time. Too embarrassed to ask Joshua to drive her back, she had simply gone to the company herself to retrieve it. Having only recently stepped into her position, she knew that failing to handle such an important matter would cost her the approval of the board of directors.She hadn't even had t

On the drive back, Astrid felt the atmosphere soften. She didn't want things to remain as suffocating as they had been moments ago. Sitting in the car, she finally broke the silence."Joshua... I’ve thought about it.""Thought about what?" he asked abruptly. Joshua was momentarily puzzled. Thought about what? What to eat?"The request." Astrid nervously picked at her fingers. Even though he had given her his word, she worried that her choice might make him unhappy."Oh?" Joshua replied with a hint of nonchalance. This woman certainly didn't waste any time; she really knew how to seize an opportunity. He had halfway hoped she’d forgotten about it."I want..." Astrid gritted her teeth, "I want you to go with me to see my mother." She stole a cautious glance at Joshua’s handsome profile, feeling a mix of nerves and foolishness.Was this request too much? Would he actually be willing to go?Joshua was also taken aback. He had expected her to ask for something like spending every day by hi

Joshua let out a sharp sigh. "Your hand."For a moment, Astrid didn’t understand what he meant. She looked down instinctively and realized the blood from her arm had already trickled down to her hand. The alleyway had been too dark, and in the sheer terror of the moment, she hadn't given her wound a second thought.The pain threatened to consume her in the very next second, and she gritted her teeth to endure it, utterly lost on what to do."Use this to stop the bleeding first." Joshua pulled off his necktie and handed it to her. There was nothing in the car to treat a wound; this was his only option.Astrid started to say something. Her hand hovered in the air for a moment before she took the tie and stared at it. She was paralyzed, unsure of how to even begin.This wasn't just any tie; it was one of Joshua’s favorites. She had been the one to accompany him when he bought it. Joshua had rarely shown such a cheerful side that day, which was why the memory was etched so clearly in her

“Who exactly are you calling dead?” A chilling voice resonated from behind the thief.Startled by the sound, the thief whipped around. At that exact moment, a thick blanket of clouds drifted across the night sky, swallowing the moon’s radiance and plunging the alley back into total darkness.The thief couldn't make out the man's face, but he knew one thing for certain: the person standing there was definitely not his "Big Boss."“Who the hell are you?” the thief spat, licking his lips nervously. What was wrong with today? Why were so many people sticking their noses where they didn't belong?No one answered. The three men grew instantly wary. They had no idea who this newcomer was, but the fact that he was standing here meant their boss had already been...The man holding Astrid barked, “I’m warning you! Don't do anything reckless, or this girl in my hands might, you know...” To emphasize his point, he tightened his grip on Astrid's arm.Suddenly, an indifferently cold voice whispered

Astrid was caught off guard by the man rushing past her; she stumbled and nearly fell to the ground. After regaining her footing, she could only watch as the figure disappeared rapidly into the distance.Suddenly, someone grabbed Astrid’s shoulder. "Young lady, could you do me a favor?" Astrid heard the voice behind her and quickly turned her head. Standing before her was a panting woman who, judging by her attire, appeared to be quite well-to-do."My bag has been stolen, can you help me?" The woman looked at Astrid with sincere desperation. Astrid looked back at her, hesitating for a moment.But when she saw the exhausted look in the woman's eyes, she nodded. Without further doubt, she took off after the thief in the direction he had vanished.Astrid knew that, generally, wealthy people like this didn't worry about being robbed unless they had something truly irreplaceable in their possession—something so important that money couldn't buy it back. Seeing how frantic the woman was, th
