Fernando didn’t expect that the point I cared about was this. He paused for a moment and then said, “Hailee, those are all work matters. Society is just like this, survival of the fittest. It’s their own incompetence, no wonder I am ruthless.”
I burst into laughter, “Mr. Vaughan was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, so of course he can stand at the peak and say that everyone is incompetent.”
Just like me, if you spend half a year with an ordinary person, this marriage might end.
I spent half a year with Mr. Vaughan, but the divorce agreement vanished into thin air as if nothing had ever happened.
I often felt helpless as well.
He suddenly took out the wind chime I once gave him. The crisp sound it made was incredibly soothing.
“Hailee, do you remember? There was a time when my eyes got injured, covered in bandages, and you hung it by my bedside. You said that whenever I need anything, just shake the wind chimes, and you will come right away.”
He was crying, “Did you forget how much you used to love me?”
Yes, I used to love him, so I could endure hardships to stay by his side. In the end, it was only me who loved him.
I took the wind chime from his hand and mercilessly threw it on the ground.
Ceramic shards splintered everywhere. And with it, the timeline of our emotions came to a complete end.
“Mr. Vaughan had better sign the divorce papers sooner rather than later. Dragging it out any longer won’t change my mind. Although I don’t want to part on bad terms, I also don’t want to completely ruin our relationship.”
After all, Nicole and Cason were reasonable people, they just spoiled their only son too much.
I turned the wheelchair and returned to the ward, refusing to see him from then on.
My best friend saw through the peephole as Fernando apologized while slapping himself in the face.
I sat on the windowsill, basking in the sun, and calmly replied, “There’s no need to sympathize with him.”
Before long, there were many people gathered outside the rehabilitation ward corridor.
Before, kidnappings and divorces never made it to the trending topics, but the gossip about the Vaughan family’s son kneeling outside his wife’s hospital room and apologizing while slapping himself in the face skyrocketed to the top of the trending list within five minutes.
The whole internet praised him as a good husband, with posts about his deep affection and dominance flying everywhere.
Only I know in my heart that his dominance and cruelty were real, without any novelistic filter.
I will never forget the miserable life I had when I was pregnant, being kicked by him and bleeding heavily while hanging a drainage bag.
I had to take a gamble, even if it wasn’t possible domestically, I had to go abroad to expose his secrets one by one and bring him down.
I found the journalist again and released the news about the kidnapping and divorce.
Fernando, who was thought to have been reborn, truly knew remorse, but little did anyone expect that this time the revelation would also go unnoticed.
Only his deeply affectionate posts have always been hanging on the top charts of various platforms.
In the comment section, only the A side of the coin can be seen, and the B side cannot be seen. One–sidedly, it made me forgive him and even said that such an affectionate man, handsome and wealthy, is rare nowadays.
I have witnessed the wealth and arrogance of the Vaughan family, and they have even closed off my channels to speak the truth. They intend to morally blackmail me through public opinion, and I forgive them.
Finally, on the third day of apologizing outside Fernando’s ward, Lcalled Nicole.
“Nicole, I will reconsider the divorce matter. Please persuade him and tell him he doesn’t need to come every day. I have already received his apologies.”
