Chapter 2

When Shyla called out the name, she felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. This name was a malignant tumor in the heart, but it was the woman of Nolan's heart.

At that time, she forced Nolan to marry her by driving Ekta away at all costs. She even forced Ekta's mother to die. Ekta got disheartened and left Nolan. This gave Shyla the opportunity to use her family wealth to force Nolan into marrying her.

Nolan hated her for many years, and he especially didn't like her mentioning Ekta.

Today, she broke the rule again.

Nolan clenched his fists and turned his head to look coldly at Shyla. "What right do you have to mention her?

To be an obedient Mrs. Bernard, you must first shut your mouth!"

She had never mentioned Ekta in front of Nolan, because she didn't want to destroy their relationship by mentioning her. "Oh, I won't mention it in the future. What do you want to eat tomorrow morning? I'll prepare it for you. Your clothes are clean, so if you are going to the company, remember to take them with you. I'll put it in a bag for you, I..."

"Enough!" Nolan's eyes were full of impatience. "Shyla, you've never changed all these years."

"You make me sick!"

Taking out the quilts and pillows from the wardrobe, Nolan was going to the living room to spend the night.

Shyla held on tightly to Nolan's hands as she stared longingly at him.

"Nolan, please spend time with me for another ten months. I can divorce you ten months later. Please, don't hate me."

Nolan was a little surprised to hear the words from Shyla's mouth.

In order to marry him at all costs, she had said that she would pester him for a lifetime and that even if he didn't love her and hated her, it was enough as long as he was by her side.

Instead, she said that she would divorce him after ten months now, which was extremely unusual from her.

Nolan replied sarcastically, "What are you playing at?"

"I'm tired, and I want to be free."

From the beginning of the conversation, Shyla kept her eyes lowered. Unexpectedly, tears fell down onto the back of her hands.

Nolan would basically come home every day, but he came home very late, so he didn't talk much with Shyla. Besides, in bed, he wouldn't even have dinner with her.

Shyla's sudden declaration that she would get a divorce after ten months puzzled Nolan. Would Shyla let go of the marriage that easily?

When he married Shyla, he promised her father that he would take good care of her in the future.

Moreover, Shyla couldn't take care of herself in her daily life without him, it was equivalent to losing the whole world. How would she live after divorcing him?

In order to carry the children of Nolan, Shyla had poked some holes in the condoms and used all sorts of methods to persuade Nolan to stay back. Each time Nolan met her from the back, she always cooperated with him and responded warmly to him, as though she was burning up her life to accompany Nolan till the end of her life.

That night, Nolan was drunk and kissed Shyla. She was pleased, but then he poured a bucket of cold water on her when he called out the name 'Ekta'.

He said, "Ekta, I'll divorce Shyla and marry you."

With tears in her eyes, Shyla stared at the ceiling with empty eyes thinking, "Is he that eager to marry Ekta?"

Unfortunately, she wouldn't be able to see it.

The next day, Shyla and her best friend, Ruhi Simpson, went shopping in a mall. Aurora was four months pregnant. Shyla was afraid that she might not be able to accompany Aurora for the childbirth as Shyla might be in the hospital. So, Shyla decided to prepare the clothes for the baby in advance. Shyla seemed to care more about this than Aurora, the mother herself.

Seeing her abnormal behavior, Ruhi asked, "Shyla, what are you doing? It's not too late to choose the clothes after the child is born. The child is too small right now."

I'm afraid I won't have the chance."

"Why don't you have a chance? You're the child's godmother."

Shyla smiled without saying a word. Instead, she hoped that she could have a baby and be a happy mother like Aurora.

"Shyla, look, I saw Nolan." Grabbing Shyla's arm, Ruhi shouted excitedly.

Turning around, Shyla's smile became stiff. She clenched her fists tightly and her heart was torn into several pieces. Nolan and Ekta were choosing some clothes a distance away.
