Chapter 126 I Don’t Mind
Finished
Maybe it was the loving family dynamic I had created before that affected him. Now, with the sudden lack of love, the contrast was too much, and it sparked his anger.
I remained silent because I didn’t know what to say–I had no response.
Shawn walked a few steps away, then said, “Just remember, Yuna doesn’t have to choose you as her mother. If you stop loving her, someone else will love her more than you”
My heart skipped a beat, and I slowly sat up from the chair. Was the situation finally starting to mirror my past life?
But this time, I was the one who chose to let go of him and our daughter, giving Queena the chance she needed.
It was different from my past life, where Queena pressured me relentlessly, and I had no strength to fight back. I could only silently step aside and let them become a family of three.
The shame and anger made me hear my own voice. I said, “Fine. If you have someone better in mind, I don’t mind.”
Tiffany, don’t go too far, Shawn snapped, his voice rising in anger. He spun around and grabbed my arm, pulling me towards him. “Have you thought this through? You really want to divorce?”
1 removed the face mask and stared calmly into his eyes. “If it’s reached this point, then neither of us can turn back, can wer
A look of pain flashed in Shawn’s eyes—something so rare that it caught me off guard.
To me, Shawn had always been calm and composed. Even now, the pain in his eyes beneath his rage was something I had never seen in my past life.
Even when he talked about divorce, he remained calm and indifferent, telling me I could ask for anything, but the divorce was non–negotiable. If I didn’t want to divorce, I couldn’t stand in the way of him being with Queena.
But right now, Shawn looked as if he were about to tear me apart–something I’d never seen before.
I couldn’t stand the way he was gripping me–it hurt.
I quickly pushed him away with all my strength. His tall frame staggered back a few steps, staring at me in surprise.
Wasn’t it just a divorce? Was it just because I ruined the act halfway through
In his fury, if I brought up the divorce now, the amount of assets I’d get would likely not be much.
So what! Money is important, but peace of mind is just as valuable.
In my past life, I was trapped in my emotions, drowning in pain and sorrow. That kind of life, so lacking in meaning. felt like
the end of the world.
So, divorce was the only way to truly be free.
“Shawn, don’t treat me like this. If you want a divorce, then let’s get it over with. If you find someone more suited to be Yuna’s mother, goz ahead, I won’t stop you” I was resolute, but why were tears still falling from the corners of my eyes?
It turned out I had only been pretending to be strong. Deep down, I was still fragile.
Shawn stared at me in a daze, his eyes empty and confused
We had been so direct, and now, our marriage was like a car stuck in a dead–end. There was no turning back, no detour–only the inevitable crash alead
Shawn stayed silent. He just turned and walked out with stiff, awkward steps.

Maybe by tomorrow morning. I’d find the divorce papers in my nightstand, just like in my past life. Shawn would probably give me only three days to decide.

wave of frustration for no reason at all.
The night passed in a blur of restless sleep, and before I knew it, morning came,
I listened to the footsteps outside, picturing Shawn sitting in the study, smoking the night away as he drafted the divorce papers. He was probably about to come over, open my door, and drop them on my bed.
The footsteps paused, and then I faintly heard Yuma crying, as if she was looking for me. I pretended not to hear.
Shawn’s voice came next, trying to comfort her. I couldn’t make out his words, but soon after, Yuna followed him downstairs, and the hallway fell silent.
I changed my clothes but didn’t hurry downstairs. Standing by the floor–to–ceiling window, I watched Shawn in a black T- shirt, driving his SUV as he took Yuna to school.
When I finally made my way downstairs, Mona greeted me with a warm breakfast.
“Mrs. Hartwell, you’re so lucky. After all my years in housekeeping, this is the first time I’ve seen a man like Mr. Hartwell, who will accompany the children for breakfast every day,” Mona said, smiling.
1 paused for a moment. In Mona’s eyes, Shawn was still considered a “rare” good man?
I simply smiled and said nothing. Mona, being perceptive, noticed my lack of interest in discussing Shawn and returned to the kitchen to get back to work.
I went to the temporary office next to Apex Hotel today instead of going to the company. I had such a big fight with Shawn yesterday, that it was impossibile for me to be in a good mood when I saw him, so forget it.
