Semua Bab Divorce Finally Made Him Break: Bab 421 - Bab 430

"Yeah. I believe you," I told Daphne.After I said that, Shannon also leaned in and solemnly said, "Daphne, I believe you, too."Daphne broke down with a loud wail.I could understand her.After all, she had truly regarded Yasmin as her mother.I clearly remembered how happy she was last night when Yasmin came to pick her up.One could imagine how shocked and devastated she must have been this morning, when the person she loved most framed her and accused her.Before that day, Timothy and Yasmin were probably Daphne's entire world.But now, that world had collapsed.She was so young, yet she had already seen the filth and cruelty of the adult world.Just then, Harriett called.I was about to question her about what happened that day when she started cursing the moment she opened her mouth. "Josie, you bitch! It was that illegitimate child you gave birth to who caused Yasmin to miscarry, and you still had the nerve to come to the Green family to take her away!"I'm telling y

I took a few instinctive steps back. Timothy was far more frightening than I had imagined.He advanced toward me, step by step, his voice low and heavy. "If you didn't want Yasmin to keep the baby, you could've told me. You could've said it outright, and I would've handled it. Why did you have to use Daphne to do something so cruel?"The anger I'd been holding back finally exploded. I pointed straight at his face. "Timothy, do you even know you've been cheated on? That baby in Yasmin's belly was Jonathan's! She was never going to keep it in the first place!"He looked at me like I'd just told the most ridiculous joke imaginable.His eyes were ice-cold. "Josie, she's lying in a hospital bed right now. The doctor said her uterus was nearly damaged beyond repair. And you're still smearing her reputation? You're a woman too. How can you be this vicious?"I shot back, "She was the one who smeared Daphne first! She couldn't give birth to that child openly because it was Jonathan's, so s

Just then, Shannon gently tugged at the corner of my shirt and whispered, a little shyly, "Ms. York, I want to sleep with you too. If Daphne gets to, I want to as well..."Daphne immediately scrunched up her nose, wrapped her arms around my leg, and protested, "But she's my mother. She's supposed to sleep with me!"The disappointment flashed across Shannon's face right away. She lowered her head and went quiet.When I saw how hurt she looked, my heart softened. After thinking for a moment, I said, "How about this? You two can sleep together. Tomorrow we can go buy a bunk bed with a slide. You can even choose who sleeps on top and who sleeps on the bottom."The moment I finished speaking, their eyes lit up.Daphne forgot her unhappiness instantly and said excitedly, "I want the top! Slides are super fun!"Shannon nodded eagerly. "Okay! I'll take the bottom then. I'm kind of scared of heights anyway."The heaviness Timothy had brought with him faded away, completely drowned out by

Daphne paused, then nodded angrily. "That woman spends my dad's money anyway! I see him buying her gifts all the time!""Daphne, that's adult business. It has nothing to do with you," I said gently. "You don't need to take her words to heart. Just remember that I may not be able to give you the kind of luxury the Grant family has, but you'll never have to worry about food or clothes. Do you understand?"My investment in my own drama project had already started turning a profit, and my writing income was more than enough to live on comfortably.But I didn't explain any of that. She was still a child. Those things wouldn't mean much to her.Hearing that we wouldn't struggle to get by, Daphne nodded hard and asked, "Can we still buy the one we liked at first?""Yes," I said.Shannon and Daphne immediately started bouncing with excitement.I took them into that brand's furniture store. Inside, several female sales associates were huddled together, gossiping."Did you see the trendi

Isaac wanted to meet near my place?That caught me off guard. He usually came straight to my door. Was he trying to avoid suspicion this time?That was probably for the best. Some things needed to be said clearly anyway.For example, the proposal Micah made that day was something I would never agree to.After confirming the time with Isaac, I made dinner early that evening.Once Daphne and Shannon finished eating, I checked the time and said, "Stay home and do your homework. I'm stepping out for a bit. I'll be back soon."They both nodded obediently.I left the apartment and reached the cafe near the complex in just a few minutes.Through the window, I saw Isaac sitting by himself.The yellow light spilled over him, casting a faint golden glow that made his features look almost sculpted. He appeared sharp, restrained, and distant.His long fingers tapped lightly against the coffee cup, his expression tense, as if lost in thought.My heart started beating faster.The sense o
