You Had This Divorce Coming Chapter 250
The humiliation of being replaced settled heavily over Gideon.He drew a slow breath, forced himself to straighten his back, and struggled to reclaim some of the authority he had always carried."Lucy, one last question. Is this divorce really what you want?"Lucille's expression remained unreadable."Yes." Her answer came without hesitation.The color drained further from Gideon's face. "Even knowing I've realized what I did wrong, even now that I've changed, you still won't reconsider?"Lucille's eyes remained cold. A faint trace of contempt touched the corner of her mouth. "You're asking for forgiveness now? Doesn't that strike you as absurd? Lily cannot be put back inside me and born again. The last chance we had disappeared the moment she came into the world."He had expected that answer. Even so, hearing it spoken aloud felt as though something had been ripped out of him."All right. Then I have one last request. After all this, can I see her at least once a week? If the

Gideon had nothing left.He watched Lucille walk away, his eyes burning with resentment and longing. He could feel people watching him from nearby. He lifted his head, his gaze sharp and cold.The man in the leather jacket was still standing there.He met Gideon's stare with an easy smirk. "Relax. I've got nothing going on with Lucille. Though I wouldn't rule out something down the line, once she's single."I came today because I wanted to see the man who looked at Lucille every day and somehow never really saw her."He clapped Gideon on the shoulder. "What a waste, man. Trust me, you're going to spend the rest of your life regretting this."A woman like Lucille, someone with that much fire and fight? She's one in a million. You genuinely had no idea what you were holding."He delivered every word with a shake of his head, each one carrying the weight of genuine pity. Then he ducked into the Ferrari, and the car disappeared with a roar.Gideon stood in the lingering exhaust and

Were the two of them already moving that fast?Gideon stepped forward, ready to close the distance.A Ferrari roared past him. It braked hard and stopped directly in front of Lucille, its tires screeching against the asphalt.The window rolled down, and the man inside called Lucille's name loud enough for Gideon to hear.Lucille bent down and leaned through the open window, chatting with whoever was inside. Bursts of laughter drifted from the car.She was there to file for divorce. How could she look so happy? And who was this man driving a Ferrari?The car was brand new, this year's model, barely on the market. Anyone who had already managed to get one either had money, connections, or both.Otto would never drive something like that. Men who chose cars like those were usually more like Walter: young, flashy, and experts at enjoying life.Had some wealthy Coasthaven heir already set his sights on Lucille? Had he really shown up at her divorce in a Ferrari just to impress her?

Lucille wore a black-and-white striped shirt with the collar open, revealing the graceful line of her neck. She paired it with a high-waisted black A-line skirt and heels that made her legs look even longer.She carried herself with a cool, unsettling elegance, sharp as a freshly unsheathed blade.Standing there, she and Gideon formed the starkest of contrasts. She seemed lit from within, while he looked hollowed out.Lucille was on a call. Gwen had heard the news from Otto and called immediately."Lucy! You're going to city hall with Gideon? Something this big, and you didn't think to tell me?""Today is just the application. The actual divorce won't be finalized for another month. I can handle this on my own," Lucille explained."Absolutely not!" Gwen shot back. "As your best friend in the world, I'm telling you this seriously. I am there for every major milestone in your life. No more doing things without telling me, like when you had the baby! I will be devastated."Lucille

Gideon slumped in his chair and pressed two fingers hard against his temple, struggling to keep his emotions under control.A moment later, Daphne knocked and stepped inside. Her heels clicked across the floor with their usual decisive rhythm."Gideon, where are the documents Mark brought up for your signature yesterday? I want to take another look."Without a word, Gideon pulled out the top document and handed the rest to her. The movement was mechanical.Daphne immediately noticed how pale he looked. "What happened? Are you all right?"Gideon buried his face in both hands. His voice was hollow. "I'm fine. Daphne. I've decided to go through with the divorce."Lily can stay with her. Whatever she wants in the settlement, let her have it. She gave me five years of her life, and I never even gave her a proper wedding. I've owed her more than I can ever repay."Daphne froze.A moment later, her expression hardened. "I'll support you if you want to compensate her, as long as it's r

It felt like a long, exhausting tug-of-war finally reaching its end. Both sides had been worn to the breaking point, and then the other side simply let go of the rope.What Lucille felt in that moment was not relief. It was a sudden, unsettling weightlessness.Her heart had been suspended for so long that, when it finally fell, it hit the ground and left behind an emptiness she had no name for.She sat with it for a while. Then she typed a single word.Lucille: [Okay.]…In the living room of Evercrown Residences, Gideon sat alone. The bottle of red wine was empty. Half a glass remained untouched.The windows stood open. The deep autumn cold drifted inside and settled into his bones, but it did nothing to ease the turmoil in his chest.He had typed and erased the message a dozen times, his fingertips turning white from the force of his grip, before finally sending those two lines.He had imagined Lucille might feel relieved. Or that she might answer with something furious and

Grace rushed out of the room in a panic and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Earthquake? Was that an earthquake?"Nancy ran out as well, clutching the crying baby. She had heard the crash, panicked, and bolted for the door barefoot, her handbag still in her hand. She had not even stopped to put on

Lucille drove back to Blossom Court, the villa she shared with Gideon.When she pushed open the front door, Grace Lewis, the elderly housekeeper, and Nancy Wells, the maternity nanny Lucille had hired, were playing with the baby.The moment they saw how pale she looked, both women were startled."Ma

Inside the banquet hall, Lucille kept her eyes fixed on Gideon.He looked flushed and in high spirits as he moved from table to table with Rayne, raising his glass and offering toasts. "My buddy Otto is overseas right now on a confidential infrastructure project. He won't be back for a year, so I'l

Holding her swaddled daughter, Lucille Sandwell kept her voice steady, though a hint of hope slipped through. "Gideon, today is our daughter's one-month milestone. Can you come pick us up?"On the other end, Gideon Prescott's voice remained even and unreadable. "Something came up. I'll have the driv
