You Had This Divorce Coming Chapter 253
Gideon's heart lurched. "Michelle, what's that sound? Why am I hearing a baby crying?"Michelle's voice came back unhurried and completely at ease. "That's your daughter I'm holding. You never went to get the paternity test, no matter how many times people told you to. So I decided to help you out. I borrowed her for a bit."I just pulled two strands of hair from her head. She started screaming immediately. Honestly, she's awfully demanding for someone so small."I've already sent the samples and your toothbrush to the lab. The results should be back soon."Gideon could not believe what he was hearing. Daphne had already made a mess of things today, and now Michelle had taken Lily without telling anyone."Michelle. Have you lost your mind?" His voice shook with fury. "You actually kidnapped her? What exactly do you think you're doing? She is my daughter. I'm warning you, if you hurt a single hair on her head, I will never forgive you."On the other end of the phone, Michelle soun

But if Daphne was behind it, why?No one in the Prescott family had welcomed Lily's birth. Not one of them had ever shown her any genuine affection. So why would Daphne secretly alter the custody clause to place Lily under Gideon's control?That question could wait. They had caught the problem before any damage was done. That was what mattered.Lucille forced herself to set her anger aside and refocus. She told Gideon she would take care of it, then walked to the printing desk.The original electronic agreement was still on her phone. She printed three fresh copies on the spot.This time, she sent all three pages directly to Charles and waited for his confirmation before handing anything to Gideon to sign.From that moment on, Lucille became all business. She was composed, relentless, and absolutely certain.She moved Gideon from window to window as though he were luggage being checked instead of a person. He followed without protest, his dull, mechanical compliance telling her

Gwen slapped the service window frantically, trying to stop the staff. "Don't stamp anything! The divorce agreement has been tampered with. Something is wrong!"Her words made both Lucille and Gideon freeze.The clerk handed the documents back.Gwen snatched up the divorce agreement and flipped straight to the custody section. Her expression darkened instantly.She turned and hurled the agreement against Gideon's chest. "Gideon! I knew something was off. I knew you'd never agree to this divorce without some kind of trick up your sleeve, and here it is!"She looked at Lucille, fury blazing in her eyes. "Lucy, we need a new agreement. He pulled a fast one. He buried word games in the custody clause and changed the entire meaning."If this had gone through, custody would have reverted to him, and you'd need his permission just to see your own daughter!"Thank God I had the sense to photograph it and send it to Charles. Another few seconds, and you would have lost her."The room se

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?

Inside a clothing store in a large shopping mall in Coasthaven, Lillian slept soundly in her stroller, clean, full, and completely out, while Nancy pushed her slowly along the aisles.Gwen stayed close to Lucille as she tried things on. Her body still had not fully recovered after the birth. Her ol

Gideon heard her laugh, and there was no warmth in it.Lucille yanked her wrist free. "Gideon, you don't have to hold anything back. Come at me. Use every card you've got."You want a fight? Fine. I've made my decision, and I'm not scared. Bring it. Whatever you've got, throw it at me."The light
You Had This Divorce Coming Chapter 21
Lucille would give up every comfort, vanity, and shred of dignity without hesitation for Lily. She could be unkempt, exhausted, hollowed out, and unglamorous. None of that mattered compared with her daughter's well-being. None of it came close.By now, Lucille worked the breast pump with the automa

Elaine was Lily's grandmother by blood. Yet Lucille could find nothing in her face, not a flicker of feeling for the child, only cold calculation.For five years in the Prescott household, every cent Lucille spent had come from her own pocket. Gideon had given her a card after the wedding, but Elai
