All Chapters of You Saved Her and Let Our Son Die. Don’t Start Crying Now: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Calvin’s expression darkened again.“They really got divorced?” Wendy asked, genuinely taken aback. This was a turn of events she hadn't fully expected.“No,” Jodie shook her head. “I asked the staff. The paperwork isn’t finalized yet. There’s still a thirty-day cooling-off period.”As she said this, she sighed and muttered under her breath, sounding a little frustrated, “What’s the point of a cooling-off period? They should just get it over with and divorce already.”As Jodie spoke, Wendy noticed that Calvin’s expression was becoming increasingly grim. She reached out and patted Jodie’s head, giving her a soft, scolding look.“That’s enough. Stop talking nonsense. Even if she does get a divorce, it’s not like you’re going to marry into the Ford family.”“Mom!” Jodie protested, her voice laced with frustration.Even though Wendy was right, the truth stung. Before the marriage was set in stone, the Spencer family had actually considered having Jodie take Stella’s place and marr

Hunter’s brow furrowed even tighter.He had assumed Stella was just saying it casually. He had not expected her to actually pack up and leave.An unexplained irritation rose in him. “Stella, have you made enough of a scene?”“A scene?” Hearing his words and seeing how angry he was, Stella felt genuinely confused.What scene was she making?She glanced at Gwen, who had just caught up, and said with sarcasm, “What’s wrong with me leaving? Or would you rather the three of us live here together?”She was trying to remind Hunter that she was stepping aside voluntarily, giving him and Gwen the space they wanted. She expected him to appreciate the gesture, but to her surprise, Hunter looked at her like she was the one being nonsensical."It’s only for a little while. Why would that be a problem?"Gwen’s place was under renovation. He was simply doing her a small favor. Was Stella really going to be jealous over this?They were already married. He couldn't understand why she was being

Hearing Hunter say that, Gavin felt like he finally understood why Hunter was in such a bad mood.It seemed that Hunter and Stella had fallen out again.But he was used to it by now.Because of how the marriage had come about, Hunter had always carried some resentment and rarely treated Stella kindly. Yet no matter how far Hunter went, Stella never lost her temper. Instead, she quietly swallowed her emotions on her own.So even when the two of them argued badly, by the next day they would return to the same way they interacted before.Their marriage had settled into a strangely delicate balance.Unlike the outside world, which doubted them and predicted their failure, Gavin inexplicably felt that this marriage might actually last.After all, he knew Hunter’s temperament well. If Hunter truly didn’t want this marriage, it would never have lasted this long.“How is the house search for Gwen coming along?”Lost in thought, Gavin suddenly heard Hunter ask.He quickly replied, “We

Stella thought about it for a moment.Although she and Hunter were divorced, the cooling-off period had not yet passed. Strictly speaking, she was still considered part of the Ford family. Hunter’s request was not unreasonable.Besides, Mrs. Ford Sr. had always treated her well. It was only right that she go and pay her respects.Stella did not refuse. “Alright. I’ll be there.”Listening to her gentle, compliant voice, Hunter’s gaze dropped to the documents on his desk.The report Gavin had given him showed that Stella was now living in one of the worst old neighborhoods in the city. The complex itself was rundown, and the living conditions were poor.When he saw that report, Hunter actually laughed in anger.He had his secretary transfer nearly six thousand a month to her as living expenses, yet she chose to move into a place with conditions like that.Was it intentional?Was she trying to win his sympathy, or was she deliberately inviting gossip, letting people whisper behin

In truth, Stella had already grown used to it.Riley and Hunter were very close as siblings. Since Hunter despised her, Riley often treated her with biting sarcasm. Riley frequently mocked her, saying she wasn’t good enough for Hunter and that she was nothing more than a third wheel coming between him and Gwen.At first, Stella actually cared. In an attempt to get on Riley’s good side, she went out of her way to research Riley’s hobbies, buy her gifts, and even travel abroad to collect limited-edition merchandise and autographs that Riley liked.Riley would accept them, but she was never grateful. Instead, she would give a cold laugh and say, “Don’t think I don’t know what you're up to. Don’t think you can buy me off like this. No matter how hard you try to please me, you’re still just the intruder between my brother and Gwen. I will never take your side.”These words used to hurt Stella deeply. But over time, she gradually learned to let it go. Hearing Riley say these things now d
