We Swore No Kids… Then She Conceived

Two years ago, she was afraid of developing stretch marks. So, she begged me to agree to abort our unborn child. "I don't want kids. Giving birth alters your appearance. If I become ugly, you're not going to love me anymore," she cried.The news was too much for my grandmother, who had always wanted great-grandchildren. Unfortunately, she passed away due to emotional distress. Due to her passing, my parents and I grew distant.I understood her desire to stay beautiful. Hence, from that day onward, I never pressured her to have children again. But now, she had broken her own principles for another man. By doing so, she had turned my love for her into a complete joke. "Aren't you going to tell me the truth, Vanessa? What's going on with you and Harold?" I asked again."Since you've already found out, there's no point in hiding it from you anymore. That's right—I'm pregnant. I'm already three months along."I scoffed wryly. "You're finally admitting it.""What did I ever do to yo

"Get your facts straight. You're the one who cheated. I'm already doing you a favor by not letting you leave this marriage empty-handed. Don't push your luck," I said coolly."I'm taking the money and the house. You should walk away with nothing. I got an abortion for you. These assets should be enough to count as compensation," Vanessa shot back.I let out a cold laugh. I couldn't believe how shameless she was. How could she bring up the abortion? I would never get over the pain of losing that baby. And now, she was using it as a bargaining chip. Despite our current situation, I used to love her. So, I had originally planned on leaving her the house. But that wouldn't be necessary anymore. Now, I refused to give her anything. I picked up the divorce papers and tore them to shreds. "I'll see you in court. This time, I won't give you a single cent."I strode out of the house and called my lawyer, William Cowan, as I left.William was one of my closest friends in college, and h

After I was done handling this matter, I boarded a plane to Gresia.I had just been appointed general manager of a branch company and was extremely busy, so I left the divorce proceedings entirely in William's hands.William patted his chest and assured me he'd handle everything. Given that everyone on the internet knew about what Vanessa had done, it was guaranteed she'd walk away with nothing.Leaving a familiar environment for a foreign country was a bit hard for me to get used to. On top of that, the branch company had just been established, and I had many things to handle personally, which kept me swamped with work.What I didn't expect was for Cindy to come and help me sort things out at the branch. It felt like we had been transported back to our student days, constantly inseparable.The company staff teased us about it, and Cindy never denied it. Gradually, I came to understand her feelings.Cindy was a good woman, but I couldn't hold her back. My marriage wasn't over yet

After that, the heiress personally went to Merinica, where she had Harold physically castrated before using her influence to have him and his parents deported from the country.The woman also deeply resented the child. She had originally wanted to just give him to a homeless person, but after Cindy's earnest persuasion, she finally agreed to spare the child.In the end, I returned the child to Vanessa, who wept with joy and nearly kneeled before my feet. But when I asked her to keep her promise and divorce me, she lost it and started making a scene."Charlie, our son has returned! Let's live well together as a family of three! "Don't go to another woman. I'll do whatever you say. I won't cause any more trouble. Please don't abandon the child and me!"She raised her wedding ring again, trying to play on my emotions. "You said that as long as we had the ring, you would always love me. You can't go back on your word."I felt no satisfaction seeing her in a deranged state. I only fe
