After Divorce, I Married Into the Most Powerful Family のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

No one outside the York family knew what happened between them and Medea back then.But Gordon knew one thing clearly—during the past six years, even though Cesare was overseas the entire time, he never once contacted Medea.“The Yorks won’t interfere for her anymore.”Gordon thought of how Medea had walked away earlier and suppressed the irritation rising in his chest. “Today’s Annie’s birthday. If she wants to throw a tantrum, let her.”As for divorce, the gossip surrounding Sharon had already gotten out of control.If he divorced Medea now, it would only confirm the gossip and drag Sharon’s reputation through the mud.There was no way he would divorce at a time like this.Besides, he knew Medea.She loved him too deeply to ever let go so easily.“That’s true. She only stayed with the York family for three years. It’s not like Mr. York would really treasure her forever.”“And without the Yorks backing her, Medea would be the one suffering most if she really were to divorce Gordon.”

Begum Corporation worked efficiently.It didn’t take long for Gordon to see exactly what happened.For once, he regretted blaming Medea without asking for the full story first, and his tone softened noticeably.“Annie’s still young. I’ll make sure Sharon teaches her properly.”Medea’s attention remained fixed on the divorce papers. She couldn’t even be bothered to remind Gordon that being young was never an excuse for bad behavior.She took out the property transfer agreement and said flatly, “This is the contract for the Farcrest villa. Sign it. I’ll move there in the next couple of days.”Gordon glanced over it. It was indeed the transfer agreement, prepared in duplicate.He signed his name at the bottom without hesitation.Medea took the papers back and quietly murmured to herself, “Just one more month.”She was about to leave when Gordon suddenly called out to her.“In the next few days, come back to the family estate with me. Grandma’s been missing you. Mom heard Sharon returned t

Medea’s face was pale as paper as she lay unconscious, her lips completely drained of color. She looked fragile and heartbreakingly delicate.The face he imagined countless times was suddenly right in front of him, close enough to touch, and a faint trace of self-mockery curved at the corner of Cesare’s lips.No matter how many times he warned himself to remain indifferent, the instinct to protect her whenever she was in danger had already become embedded deep in his bones.He knew it might all be fake, and he knew she wasn’t entirely innocent either, but he still couldn’t stay indifferent.“Mr. York, should we take Miss Watts to the hospital immediately?” the secretary asked cautiously.Cesare pressed his lips together and remained silent for a long while. In the end, he removed his own scarf and said indifferently, “Have someone send her back to the Watts family.”…When Medea woke up, she realized she was lying inside a cold, secluded storage room.A gray cashmere scarf had someho

Annie’s unreasonable demand instantly pushed Gordon back into an awkward position.He glanced at Medea with visible hesitation, as though seeking her opinion.But all Medea felt now was numbness.She met his gaze indifferently before quietly looking away. “Go ahead.”Those two light words stirred an inexplicable sense of unease inside Gordon.A man who cared deeply about appearances, he understood better than anyone that if he truly abandoned his wife and her family tonight just to sit beside Sharon and Annie, it would amount to publicly humiliating the entire Watts family.No matter how well he treated Sharon and Annie in private, in a setting like this, the only woman who could stand beside him as Mrs. Begum was Medea.Gordon’s expression darkened.“Annie, be good and sit over there with your mother. Otherwise, I’ll have someone send you home right now.”Perhaps because she had never seen him this stern before, Annie froze in shock instantly. Her lips trembled, tears pooling in her

Medea didn’t bother arguing pointlessly with Tina. She simply left the estate in silence.She called for a rideshare.While waiting by the roadside, the cold night wind brushed past her. She lowered her eyes and looked at her swollen hands. Under the streetlights, the angry red welts across her palms looked especially brutal.The burning pain throbbed relentlessly, yet it still hurt far less than the moment Gordon chose to walk away without hesitation.When Medea returned home, neither Gordon nor Sharon was anywhere in sight.But on the second floor, the master bedroom lights were unexpectedly still on.Medea immediately headed upstairs.The moment she pushed open the bedroom door, she saw Annie crouched beside the low coffee table, forcefully twisting a robot figurine in her hands.It was the anniversary gift Medea gave Gordon for their third wedding anniversary.Her heart clenched violently.Gordon always liked firearms and mechanical collectibles.To make that gift, Medea had spe
