Alle Kapitel von Divorce Finally Made Him Break: Kapitel 221 – Kapitel 230

The night breeze carried an early winter chill through the courtyard. I pulled my coat tighter around me and kept walking, my mind a heavy mess.When I reached the covered walkway, I saw Isaac leaning against the carved railing, a cigarette resting between his long fingers.As he took a drag, the ember lit up the sharp lines of his profile. There was a quiet, grounded maturity in him, like someone who had weathered more storms than most.I paused for a moment, then found myself drifting a few steps closer without thinking.Once I reached him, my throat tightened. I couldn't think of something appropriate to start the conversation.I didn't know whether to go over and greet him or just get straight to the point and ask him to keep my secret.While I debated in silence, Isaac looked over. Under the dim lights, his eyes were filled with a grief he couldn't hide. I figured that he'd heard about Diana's condition, and that was why he looked so forlorn.That was when he spoke, his voi

I practically grabbed onto the chance like a lifebuoy. Afraid that Isaac would change his mind, I hurried to pull open the passenger door and jumped in.The car was silent, save for the gentle whisper of air from the vents. He slowly started the engine and asked, "Where are we going?"I definitely didn't want to go back to the hospital. If Timothy didn't care whether I lived or died, why should I go running back at night to take care of him?Hence, I gave Isaac the address of the neighborhood where I was currently staying.The car moved steadily down the road.After hesitating a long while, I finally spoke. "About what I mentioned before… Can you reconsider helping me with my daughter's paternity test?"Isaac's hand on the wheel didn't move. His long fingers were defined and pale under the faint dashboard light. After a few seconds, he said flatly, "I've already refused. I don't want to say it twice."I sighed quietly and shut my mouth.The entire ride continued in silence. Whe

"You bitch! How dare you bring up the past!" Harriett roared.She exploded in rage and shoved Gloria hard. "Back then, you acted all pitiful and seduced Timothy's father until he couldn't think straight. Now, you're back to the same old tricks, trying to get your hands on my son? Don't even dream about it!"Gloria fell to the ground but pushed herself up again. She walked toward Harriett once more. "Harriett, as long as you're willing to let Terence go, I'll give Stanley up if he's willing."She should've kept quiet. The moment she said that, Harriett snapped like a cat having its tail stepped on. It was like telling a homeless person that they could have her luxury heels if they liked them so much. After all, everyone in Seavale knew how Stanley had given up on his inheritance just to divorce Harriett.Gloria's words were like a blow to Harriett's ego.Harriett's face turned beet red. She threw her purse aside and lunged forward, ready to attack. Gloria didn't dodge or raise a ha

I suppressed the heaviness in my chest and said, "Whatever kind of people Gloria and Terence are doesn't matter anymore. You've already sent them abroad. They're not going to be a threat to you again."Timothy's gaze slid to my face, and something sharp flickered in his eyes. "I sent them away, and you're upset about it?"Heat flared instantly inside me. I stared right back at him. "Why do you care if I'm upset? When you cheated on me, did you ask how I felt? When you announced your relationship with Yasmin to the world, did you even think about how I felt? Last night when you abandoned me, did you bother asking if I was upset?"Timothy's eyes darkened, and the air felt like it had frozen over.I inhaled and swallowed back the words I had almost said. It wasn't like I ever had feelings for Terence, but I didn't think Timothy deserved that explanation.…Two days later, the doctor came by for rounds and said Timothy was fully healed and ready for discharge. He was going over some

When I finally got home, I washed all the bedding, then cleaned the entire place from top to bottom. By the time I finished, evening had already fallen.After dinner, I headed to the rehab center where my mother was staying. Because I had been stuck taking care of Timothy at the hospital, I hadn't visited her in a while.At night, the center was unbelievably quiet. The sound of my footsteps echoed down the corridor.Her room was at the end of the hallway. From a distance, I spotted a slim woman in a camel-colored coat standing outside the door. She was leaning in, peeking through the slightly open door.I froze for a second before calling out, "Excuse me, who are you?"The woman jerked around. She wore a hat, a mask, and sunglasses. She was practically covered. If she hadn't been much taller than Yasmin, I would've thought it was her up to no good again.However, this woman was just as suspicious.I moved toward her quickly, intending to question her. She immediately turned and
