All Chapters of Divorce Finally Made Him Break: Chapter 201 - Chapter 210

The feeling was a visceral pull one felt upon seeing their own flesh and blood. I took a few quiet steps forward, my eyes tracing every delicate feature of Daphne's face, almost greedily, as if I could somehow make up for all the years I'd missed.When Daphne noticed me, she quickly hung up the phone and said proudly, "Daddy agreed! And I didn't tell him about the allergy. I kept my promise, didn't I?""Yeah."My throat tightened as I nodded. I reached out to gently run my fingers through her soft curls. "You did so well, Daphne."Daphne blinked in surprise. She was still young, but even a child could sense when something felt off. Her big, dark eyes were filled with confusion. "What's wrong?"I forced a smile and said, "It's nothing. I was just thinking about baking you a big cake for your birthday, but I realized that I don't even know when it is."Her face lit up with joy. "Really? My birthday is December 12! That's only a little over a month away!"The date made my stomach s

I looked at him, my smile faint. I asked, "And what exactly do you mean by that? Are you afraid they'll think I'm Daphne's mother?"Timothy's expression shifted slightly, and he looked away. "You've never raised a child before. I'm worried you might not handle her well."My throat felt dry. I nodded slowly. "You're right. I've never raised a child, thanks to you."His brows furrowed. "What's that supposed to mean?""Nothing."I held back. I had almost told him everything right then. But I didn't want to argue anymore. The questions clawing at my chest were close to spilling out.To hide my anger and sorrow, I kept my head down and focused on finishing the cookies.Daphne ran to Timothy, tugging at his hand. "Daddy, please let Ms. York go with me! I'll tell everyone that she's not my mommy so that no one will misunderstand."Usually, her pleading always worked. But that night, Timothy seemed determined. He really didn't want me getting too close, and he was feeling guilty.When

On the drive there, excitement bubbled in my chest. Daphne sat in the passenger seat, humming a song, her little feet swinging happily back and forth.But just as we reached the kindergarten gate, a red Ferrari cut sharply in front of my car. Daphne's eyes lit up. "That's Mommy's car!"An ominous feeling tightened around my heart. I took Daphne's hand and stepped out of the car.Yasmin climbed out of the car. She wore oversized sunglasses and a mask that hid nearly her entire face. The moment Daphne spotted her, she let go of me and ran over. "Mommy! What are you doing here? You said you were busy with work!"Yasmin crouched to scoop her up, her voice dripping with sweetness. "No matter how busy I get, I still have to make time for my baby girl."Daphne tilted her head, confused. "Are you coming to my school's family sports day? But you said you can't show up because you're a big celebrity." Yasmin chuckled and tapped Daphne's nose. "I really can't be there today. But guess what

My heart skipped a beat, and when I saw the guilt in Daphne's eyes, the truth settled instantly. Yasmin must have gotten the pineapple allergy incident out of her with just a few questions.Timothy's voice was sharp and icy, cutting right through me. "So that's why you've been acting so strange, getting close to Daphne and baking with her... Turns out, you had a bigger plan.""Plan? What kind of plan could I possibly have toward my—" The words caught in my throat, and my fingers curled into fists. "What kind of plan could I ever have toward Daphne?"Yasmin suddenly burst into tears and fussed with Daphne's forehead, making a show of how close they were. "Ms. York, Daphne is severely allergic to pineapple. She almost didn't make it last time! She's just a child. How… How could you do that?"Timothy's gaze turned dark, a storm tearing through his eyes, and his voice dropped even lower. "Talk. What are you and Ruby plotting?"I stared into his furious eyes and almost laughed. If he k

Ruby asked, "How could it be that coincidental? Everyone else's samples are fine except Daphne's? I'm not buying it."I shook my head. "I've wondered if Timothy or Yasmin already knows. But since they haven't confronted me, if we go to them now, it would be like admitting everything ourselves. The only way forward is to get another blood sample from Daphne and do it quietly.""But she isn't at Little Lights anymore. If Timothy is suspicious of you, he'll only tighten security. We won't even get close to her," Ruby pointed out.At this, she added hesitantly, "Josie… What if Daphne isn't really your daughter? It's a huge coincidence, sure, but when I helped with the transfer paperwork, I saw her file. Her birthday isn't even the same day you gave birth."My heart trembled, but my voice was resolute. "If Timothy could lie to me about whether my baby lived, fabricating a birth date is nothing to him. And December 8 versus December 12 is just four days apart. Ruby, I know that Daphne is
