You Had This Divorce Coming Chapter 442
There was an unmistakable tremor in Joanne's voice."Mom, I got it. I'm on my way."The instant she hung up, the color drained from Lucille's face. She did not spare Gideon another glance. She shouldered past him and bolted for the door in a panic.Gideon had already caught the gist of the situation through the phone's speaker. His own daughter was running a high fever and being rushed to the hospital. When he saw how frantic Lucille was, he chased after her at once.The moment Lucille yanked open the car door and dropped into the driver's seat, Gideon closed the distance in a few quick strides, wrenched open the passenger door, and forced his way inside.Lucille's expression froze. "Gideon, what are you doing?""Our daughter has a high fever," Gideon said heavily. "I'm coming to see her too."A vein throbbed at Lucille's temple. "Gideon! This is not the time for you to make things worse! Get out!"Gideon buckled his seat belt, his resolve unshaken. "I am absolutely not getting

Lucille froze where she stood. She had never imagined Gideon would actually uncover the existence of "Bill Davenport," her own brother.For an instant, her heart skipped a beat.No one in all of Coasthaven knew that her brother was Bill except Lucille, her mother, and Otto.Until they were properly reunited and her brother returned to the country, Lucille had never intended to let word of it slip.Her brother had never once mentioned the hardships he had endured abroad during their phone calls, but both she and her mother understood them all too well.For him to have built such formidable power abroad, he must have fought his way through countless obstacles, with danger lurking at every turn.During his time working for her, Sven had flown to Astoria more than once on short notice to handle urgent matters. Though Sven never breathed a word about them, Lucille understood that her brother must have weathered immense storms to reach where he was today.Powerful old enemies might st
You Had This Divorce Coming Chapter 440
This time, Gideon wasn't playing the devoted, heartbroken husband. Instead, he stood on the moral high ground of "doing what's best for the child," using the daughter Lucille cared about most as leverage and cutting off every possible path to her future.Lucille's face went bone white, and her entire body shook with fury. "Gideon, there's no way I'll ever agree to this supplementary agreement! If nothing else, I refuse to let our daughter become a bargaining chip for you to use against me!"Gideon seemed satisfied by her pale face. He leaned back in his chair and said lightly, "At the charity dinner, Otto brought Mr. Suffolk and announced to the whole world that our daughter is, in fact, mine."Thus, as her father, is it really wrong for me to want to give my daughter a clean, uncomplicated environment to grow up in?"I imagine that even if you took me to court over these terms, a judge would accept and approve every one of them."Lucille shot to her feet. Fury overwhelmed her, an

This time, Gideon had clearly come prepared. This supplementary agreement was, without question, a change in tactics, one that left Lucille utterly baffled.Lucille had barely made it through the first few clauses before her heart began pounding with fury.She slammed the agreement down on the counter. "Gideon, tell me. What do you actually want? Just say what you really want. There's no need to put on this act of loving our daughter so much. It's disgusting."Every clause in the document was wrapped in careful legal language about their daughter's welfare, yet beneath it all, the words were utterly meaningless. The sheer hypocrisy filled Lucille with a rage she could barely put into words.This was a man who had openly called his own daughter a bastard child in front of everyone, without the slightest hint of shame.A man who, from the moment she was conceived to the day she was born, had never once thought to do anything for her.And now, when they were finally getting divorced

Lucille pressed her fingers to her throbbing temples, unwilling to waste any more time on a pointless argument."Gideon, I came here today to finalize the divorce, not to fight. Just give me one answer. Are you going to cooperate or not?" Her patience had run out entirely. "If you insist on refusing, then I'll see you before a judge!"Gideon showed no sincerity at all, so Lucille refused to waste another word on him. She turned to leave.Gideon quickly closed the distance between them and grabbed her wrist. "Wait. I'll cooperate with the divorce. But I have conditions. We need to sign a supplementary agreement."In truth, Gideon had worked out every detail of his plan the moment he agreed to divorce Lucille. He knew there was no point in dragging this out any longer.Lucille had already filed for divorce once. Under the law, a second filing made the divorce all but certain, no matter how much he wanted to stall.Yet deep down, he still did not want to let her go.This time, howe

Before the call, Lucille had been discussing work with Otto.After dodging her so many times, Gideon had finally agreed to meet her at the courthouse. Lucille let out a long breath."He finally answered. He wants to meet at the courthouse right now."Something shifted faintly in Otto's eyes. "Good. Congratulations."At his congratulations, a bittersweet ache filled Lucille's chest, mingling with the relief of finally seeing daylight after so long.Soon, everything from the past would finally be over. She was thoroughly sick of this life riddled with holes and scars. She couldn't wait to free herself from everyone and everything tied to the Prescott family and finally focus on her work, her own life, and raising Lily happily.The drawings for the Pillars of Eternity Awards submission were essentially finished. Otto had offered a few suggestions, and after some minor revisions, they would be ready to enter.Based on his experience and instincts, Otto was certain the design had an

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

The moment Gideon opened his mouth, Lucille felt her heart drop straight into hell. "Gwen, stop trying to stir things up. Lucy is baby Connor's aunt. We're all family. If she can help, she should. There's extra milk anyway."'Baby Connor. He said the name with such easy intimacy, as if the boy were
