Chapter 5

Author: Fiery
Julian's face twisted instantly, and the fury in his glare felt like it could consume me. I ignored him and walked straight into Jude's room, lifting him into my arms.

Just as I reached the door, Julian called after me. "Naomi, think carefully. If you leave me, how will you live as a carefree, wealthy wife?"

I stopped for a moment, then turned to face him. "Julian, not a single day with you has ever been carefree. Maybe you've forgotten the path you walked to get here."

I left without looki

    My throat tightened, and for a moment, I was at a loss.Rosy was only six. She didn't understand any of it. Her little scuffles with Jude had been nothing more than the usual childish tiffs.In the end, it had all come from Julian's influence.I carefully wiped away her tears and gently said, "You know your real mother is someone else. That means your legal guardian is your father, not me. But if you want to stay with me, I'll do everything I can to get custody. Okay?"She clutched my fingers tightly and nodded.I took her home.The moment Jude saw her, he ran over eagerly. He grabbed all his toys and shoved them into her arms. "Rosy, don't cry. You can have all of these."Rosy sniffled and mumbled her thanks between sobs.The two children settled together peacefully, so I didn't interfere. I just told the housekeeper to keep a close watch on them.Meanwhile, the police officer sat across from me on the couch."Ms. Sanders, given that the child was abandoned by her biological

    I froze and frowned. "You sent her away? She's only six."Julian clutched my wrist and said, "But you didn't like her. That's why I sent her away. Can we not get divorced? I've been thinking a lot these past few days. Naomi, I'm used to having you around. If you leave, I don't know how I'll go on."I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "Julian, can you act like an adult for once? Take some responsibility. I'm leaving you because you lied, because you failed at this marriage, because you cheated and couldn't stop thinking about Vivian Bennett. "How could you drag a six-year-old into this? Where did you send her?"Julian's body shook, and he pressed his lips into a thin line.I took a deep breath, trying to reason with him. "Our marriage was doomed, but the child is innocent. Julian, you kept talking about Vivian all the time, and now you've sent her own daughter away. How can you justify that?"Finally, something broke through.The tears he had been holding back streamed down h

    Three days later, the shareholders' meeting commenced. I took my seat with confidence, feeling fully in control, while Julian arrived late. His white shirt was wrinkled, his expression tired, and he looked utterly defeated.Faced with the crushing votes against him, he looked bewildered. "Why are you all doing this? Have I not done my job well?"I offered a small, composed smile. "The company isn't yours to command alone. When you told the media you planned to hand the company over to Rosy, did you think about how the other shareholders would feel? Julian, you aren't cut out for this. Your place is at home, caring for the children."His expression darkened instantly. "Naomi, are you out of your mind? Do you know what you're saying?"I gave a faint smile. "Of course. When I first decided to divorce you, I worried you would struggle taking care of Rosy on your own, but you've managed surprisingly well these past few days. Since the children need their father, you should stay home and

    Julian no longer cared who was watching. He seized my wrist and pulled me toward his office. I didn't resist. Some things simply had to be addressed. Rosy shrieked in fright, but Julian ignored her cries.He snapped, "Naomi, do you have any idea what you're doing? Coming to work at the company? Don't be ridiculous! Can't you just stay at home as a housewife? I'm not cutting you off financially. You could stay home, relax, play with the kids, and walk the dog. Why do you have to stir all this trouble?"His frustration boiled over. "What exactly are you trying to achieve? You cause chaos at home over a divorce, and now you drag it into the company. Naomi, are you out of your mind?"I watched him lose his composure in silence. Once he finished shouting, I let out a quiet laugh. "Julian White, what exactly are you afraid of? Are you afraid that a housewife who's been taking care of your family for three years is suddenly coming to claim space in your company?"A flush and pallor al

    "I took care of Rosy for five years. She hardly ever had allergies. You, on the other hand, probably don't even know what she's allergic to," I retorted.Julian was silent for so long I almost thought he had hung up.Finally, he said, "You never told me what she was allergic to.""Didn't I?" I asked coldly. "Julian, I told you."From the moment Rosy came to me, she had diarrhea after drinking formula. As a new mother, I was always gentle and softhearted with the baby. I had tugged on Julian's sleeve and said, "She keeps having diarrhea. Maybe she's allergic to something in the formula. Let's get her tested."Julian barely looked up. He glanced at his watch and pushed me aside. "Do it yourself. I have work. Just let me know when the results are in."I swallowed my hurt and went. The tests revealed dozens of allergens. I left the reports on Julian's desk. Dust gathered on them, and he never bothered to look, yet he had the nerve to blame me."You should have reminded me. I'm so

    Julian's face twisted instantly, and the fury in his glare felt like it could consume me. I ignored him and walked straight into Jude's room, lifting him into my arms.

"Julian, not a single day with you has ever been carefree. Maybe you've forgotten the path you walked to get here."I left without looking back. I wasn't a woman dependent on Julian. I had my own home and car. I drove Jude to the house farthest away from him.As I rolled down the window, the wind rushing in smelled like freedom. At last, I would never face Julian's cold indifference again, never have to care for a child who was not mine. The wind rushing in smelled like freedom, and I couldn't help but smile.Jude stirred from his sleep and instinctively clutched me. "Mommy, where are we going?" His little face pressed aga
