Chapter 446

Autor: Deer Woods
"I understand your resolve to go through with the divorce. Since you've made up your mind, use this opportunity to sit down with Gideon and really talk things through.

"Ending things cleanly and parting on good terms would be best for everyone. But now that you have a child together, I imagine it won't be that simple," Otto said.

Lucille crossed her arms. Her chest rose and fell faintly as her brow furrowed, and a weary sigh escaped her. "I'm so tired..."

She had never felt exhaustion this de

  • You Had This Divorce Coming   Chapter 458

    Rayne had grown noticeably thinner. Her eyes had sunk deep into her face, and by the time she stepped outside, her body was so frail she nearly collapsed.Michelle hurried forward to steady her, though she couldn't help grumbling as she did, "Rayne! I don't mean to lecture you, but how could you be this stupid? You actually forged a paternity test. Do you have any idea how badly you've dragged our whole family down?"If you were going to forge it, you could have at least given me a heads-up first. Now look at this mess. You've handed them a weapon to use against us! We meant to take them down hard, but instead, they're the ones who wrecked us!"Michelle's temper flared at the mere thought of it.But Rayne was, after all, a girl she had watched grow up. Gideon might be able to turn his back on her, but Michelle couldn't bring herself to stand by and do nothing.For now, the priority was to get everyone out and worry about the rest later. As for Rayne's mother and aunt, they would h

  • You Had This Divorce Coming   Chapter 457

    Guilt flickered involuntarily in Gideon's eyes.Otto released him and stepped back, smoothing the collar he had rumpled with a gesture that carried a trace of condescending pity. "Gideon, you assume everyone's scheming because scheming is all that's ever on your mind."You keep thinking Lucille can't live without you, that no matter how badly you wrong her, she'll wag her tail like a dog and wait for you to take her back."But you're wrong. Lucille is a woman who loves and hates in absolutes. When she loved you, it was real. And when she chooses to walk away, that's just as final."Otto took a deep breath. His gaze burned as he carefully chose each word. "For five years, she rolled up her sleeves and cooked for you. She bore your child in a household as cold as yours."How much of her own light did she give up along the way, all for the sake of your career? You never saw any of that. All you see now is how heartless she's become."But have you ever considered that no one walks aw

    "Let her go. Every time you go near her again, you only hurt her more and wear her down further."We still don't even know what's really going on with Lily. She's already exhausted, and all she wants is to be free of this marriage, to put an end to this endless, draining struggle between the two of you. Can't you at least grant her that much?"Otto tried to reason with Gideon, but every word grated harshly on Gideon's ears.Gideon couldn't hold back a cold laugh. "Is this really about granting Lucille anything, or is it about giving the two of you what you want?"Otto, don't dress it up with such noble words. Don't think I don't know exactly what's going on between you and Lucille right now!"Your entire family has been falling over themselves to get close to Lucille's family. Your parents fawn over her at every turn, but at the end of the day, isn't it all because of whoever's standing behind her? Do you honestly think I can't see through it?"Gideon tore through the pretense co

  • You Had This Divorce Coming   Chapter 455

    Inside the ward, Lucille and Otto had just finished settling Lily in when Leif Daniel, who had flown in from Astoria, arrived.Lily underwent a whole series of tests. The baby was likely frightened and cried nonstop throughout the examinations.Afterward, Lucille sank into a recliner, utterly exhausted, and unintentionally drifted off to sleep.When Otto finished a phone call and saw her asleep, he immediately took off his suit jacket and draped it over her.He walked out to the entrance of Renavi International alone and found Gideon standing beside his black Bentley, smoking. Several cigarette butts already littered the ground at his feet.At the sight of Otto, Gideon shot him an icy glance. "I'm only realizing now that you really do stick to her like a rash. Wherever Lucille goes, there you are."Otto's expression remained cool as he let out a cold snort. "It's not that I enjoy following her around. Lucille needs me right now. I choose to stay by her side and protect her. There

    "Mr. Prescott, I... I found out. Your wife transferred your daughter to a private hospital in Sopheara City. Only..."'Sopheara? Why would she transfer Lily all the way there?' Gideon recalled that the Westbrook family had numerous holdings in Sopheara, including a large private hospital, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.He grabbed Mark by the collar. "Only what? Don't leave your sentences half-finished."Mark's face flushed red as the grip nearly choked him. "Only... that hospital belongs to the Westbrook family. Security there is extremely tight. Even if we chase them down, we might not be able to get in."It was just as he'd suspected!Otto had actually stooped this low. He had waited until Gideon left the hospital, then swooped in and whisked his wife and daughter away to a hospital under his own family's control!Gideon was furious enough to see red. He had been careless, that much was clear. He had only worried that his presence at the hospital would upset Lucille. He

    After Gideon left, only Lucille, Otto, and the sleeping Lily remained in the ward.Lucille cradled her daughter and gently brushed her fingertips over the soft curve of her cheek. Her eyes reddened at once.A four-month-old baby should have been carefree in her mother's arms, yet Lily now faced a danger no one could even name.Lucille dared not think about it. Every time she did, her heart felt as though it had been sliced open."Otto, what if Lily really is..." Her voice caught. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't force out the rest of the sentence.Otto watched her shoulders tremble and handed her a tissue. His chest ached, but his voice remained steady. "Lucy, look at me."Lucille raised her eyes and met his unwavering gaze."The doctor only said 'suspected.' Nothing has been confirmed." He spoke each word clearly and firmly. "Modern medicine has come a long way. Even if the diagnosis is confirmed, there are plenty of treatment options. Right now, you need to hold your

    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
