A Love That Will Never Be Chapter 10
Was Carter serious about the divorce?"No! He can't be." Misty's mind went blank. Her ears rang, drowning out the world around her.Even after Carter packed all his stuff, she refused to believe he would dump her."He must be upset. This is his way of forcing me to back down, just like those times when I ran away from home, waiting for him to bring me back."That must be the only explanation. Carter loves me too much to divorce me."Misty spoke to herself as she dialed his number. Her racing heart calmed down when she heard the connecting tone on her phone. She even felt rather exasperated. Why would Carter emulate her, running away from home?Not only that, Carter didn't nail the whole thing. He should have blocked her on the phone as well!Her smile froze when she heard the busy tone. Carter had deliberately hung up on her. She redialed, only to realize he had blocked her number.With trembling hands, she WhatsApped him, typing a single word, "Darling."She could no longer s

"Carter, we don't have to do this. I never wanted a divorce…" Misty forced an awkward smile, her face contorted with desperation.Even now, she couldn't comprehend Carter's behavior. They had fought countless times before, but they always made up in the end."I know you're mad at me." Words of apology stumbled out of her mouth. "I shouldn't have kissed Zeke, and I was wrong to slap you, but I didn't do it on purpose. I'll learn to keep my temper under control. You—""Misty," he interrupted her.Then, he said softly, "Leave."She choked on her own words.Staring at her, Carter continued, "My lawyer will speak to you about the divorce details. You can discuss it with her if you have any follow-up questions." With that, he turned around and left. His eyes were bloodshot, and there was stubble on his chin. He had stayed up all night, partly to work on a business partnership, but more because he couldn't sleep.Giving up on Misty was tough, but he would never look back.Frozen o

A stark silence expanded in the room. Misty's deathly glare swept past every face before her. Without warning, she slapped the woman who insulted Carter the most. The woman let out a shrill scream and indignantly held her cheek.Ignoring the woman, Misty finally stared at Zeke. "Who told you I'm single now?"He looked flustered. "Misty, don't be mad at me. I…""Think carefully before you act on your assumptions," Misty snapped coldly.She had no intention of sparing anyone's dignity in her fury. As Zeke's face turned ashen, she continued, her tone sharp and merciless, "Carter and I signed the divorce papers, but we haven't finalized the divorce. We are still legally married. How dare you slander him in front of me?"Even if we were divorced, who the hell do you people think you are to insult him like that?"The room fell into a chilling silence. No one dared to make a sound.The crowd had gathered today with the intention of currying favor with Misty after hearing rumors of he

Misty had no idea how she left the club that night. Her mind was foggy. By the time she regained her senses, she found herself standing outside Carter's apartment.She lifted her hand but couldn't gather the courage to knock.How had things come to this? Deep down, she knew it was her own fault. She had taken Carter for granted, trampling on his feelings because she couldn't care enough; perhaps, she hadn't loved him enough.But now, after being dumped, she belatedly realized that the person who truly couldn't let go—the one who couldn't move on—was her.Fragments of her past treatment of Carter flashed through her mind. The more she remembered, the more ashamed she was to face him.Inside the apartment, Carter, who was working at his desk, received a notification on his phone: someone had been lingering outside his door for quite a while.Startled, he turned on the security feed and saw Misty crouched on the ground, crying silently.Carter's expression froze for a moment. After

After the scandal at the club, news of Carter and Misty's impending divorce spread like wildfire within their social circles.Fortunately, Carter had a PR strategy in place to minimize the impact on the stocks and businesses of both the Flanagan and Lawrence families. Their professional partnership remained unaffected. Any transition appeared smooth.However, once it became clear that the divorce was inevitable, Carter's family began setting him up with new potential partners. Meanwhile, Misty repeatedly sought him out, which left Carter exasperated. To avoid both Misty and his family, he went on extensive business trips.This time, Carter traveled to Oceania City for a business talk with Milton Pharmaceuticals about a cancer drug research project. Before the trip, he meticulously studied the project and familiarized himself with the representative from the other side.However, when he arrived at the negotiation table, he was met with a surprise. Milton Pharmaceuticals had sent a

Carter and Victoria had met for the first time on that day. Technically, their relationship wasn't close enough for Victoria to offer him a ride.Yet, Carter agreed, thinking it was a good excuse to dodge Misty. "Alright, thank you," he said with a nod.Watching Carter and Victoria leave side by side, Misty stood there, her expression slowly twisted into an obsessive look. She muttered under her breath, "I won't give up.""Misty," a voice called out suddenly from ahead. It was Zeke.Misty frowned at him. "Did you follow me?"Zeke's smile froze a little. "No. Your parents were worried about you, and they asked me to check on you."Hearing this, Misty's expression softened somewhat. "I'm fine. You can leave now."Zeke bit his lip but didn't budge. Misty had pulled away from him since their last encounter at the club. She had refused to engage with him no matter how much he apologized or tried to make amends.Previously, Zeke had arranged a surprise singles' party for Misty

The sudden news came as a shock to Carter. Misty's words dropped a bombshell.Shaken, his eyes turned to the sonogram report and traveled to Misty's belly.Misty, feeling a bit embarrassed, gently touched her belly and explained softly, "I've been feeling nauseous and extremely tired lately. I went to the hospital for a checkup, and that's when I found out I was pregnant."Ten minutes later, Misty followed Carter into his apartment. Still bewildered, Carter poured Misty a glass of warm water. He wasn't expecting to be a father without warning.Since Misty was a professional dancer, she was very particular about maintaining her figure. She hadn't planned on having a baby so soon. Therefore, they'd always used protection.But contraception wasn't always foolproof. The report showed that Misty was already ten weeks pregnant. That tracked; they had slept together ten weeks ago. Carter was not only shocked but also unsure of how to handle the situation. The baby arrived without war

The flaming red lipstick smudged across her hand. Every word on the trending search was jarring to Victoria.Her eyes burned. Was she going to miss her chance again this time?She couldn't bear the thought. At the same time, she totally understood if Carter wanted to go back to a pregnant Misty.Still, it was Carter's decision to make. The online moral policing was entirely unwarranted.Pressing her lips together, Victoria called her assistant, "Get in touch with some influencers…"Before she could finish, a thought struck her. She carefully reread every single trending post about Misty and Carter.The tone of the posts was oddly consistent and almost scripted—clearly orchestrated by someone pulling the strings behind the scenes.Victoria's eyes narrowed as she issued a new order to her assistant. "Forget the influencers. Look into who's behind these trending posts related to Carter."Her assistant quickly went to work.Before long, Victoria received the findings. A D-list act

Victoria approached him with a smile. "I didn't know you were interested in photography, Mr. Flanagan."She addressed him like they were old friends.Once again, the unease that had previously bothered Carter resurfaced. Watching Victoria quietly, he remarked, "What a coincidence, Ms. Milton! Are you traveling?""Yes," Victoria replied, her smile unwavering. "But I'm not here for fun. I'm here for someone."Carter's eyelid twitched. If he had previously dismissed his feelings purely as his imagination, her remark now made everything crystal clear—she was interested in him.He was taken aback but didn't continue the conversation. Instead, he gestured toward her suitcase. "Where are you staying, Ms. Milton? I can walk you there.""Thank you, Mr. Flanagan." Victoria handed him her luggage and mentioned her hotel, which, as it turned out, was the same as his.Carter froze momentarily before lifting her suitcase and walking alongside her down the cobblestone path.For a while, neith

When Carter's friends realized that there was no possibility of Carter and Misty getting back together, they stopped mentioning her in his presence.Because of that, Carter had no idea what had become of Misty. His focus was entirely on Project R8, especially so after the Lawrence Group abruptly pulled out. Refusing to bow to Leslie's unreasonable demand, all he could do was look for a new partner.But a problem arose. Few companies possessed the same technologies as the Lawrence Group, and the only two overseas firms with the capability flatly declined to collaborate with the Flanagan Group.Just when Carter had decided to make a business trip abroad, Victoria—from Milton Pharmaceuticals—reached out to him unexpectedly."Mr. Flanagan, I heard you were looking for a new business partner. It so happened that our team had recently achieved significant breakthroughs in some of the Lawrence Group's core technologies for Project R8. I wonder if you'd consider working with us."Victoria

Carter and Leslie were at a restaurant when Leslie made that request. Carter's hand froze in the air as he was about to pour the tea. Looking up at Leslie, he began, "Mr. Lawrence, you said you wanted to meet me to discuss a business partnership between our two families. I might have to excuse myself if you insist on bringing up private matters."Sighing, Leslie muttered, "But Carter, Misty is in bad shape. Only you can lift her spirits."Carter started to grow irritated. First, it was Misty harassing him, followed by Kathy. Now, even Leslie joined them to beg him for a reconciliation.He wanted to leave the table right away, but he kept his cool, considering Leslie was a respectable man who had done him favors before. "Mr. Lawrence, Misty has to pick herself up. No one else can help her.""No." Leslie shook his head defiantly. "She will regain confidence if you return to her side."Carter's voice was devoid of emotions. "How many times do I need to make myself clear? I'm never

Carter had chosen to travel to a small town abroad that was famed for its arts scene. He landed around 9:00 pm and took a rest.The next day, he took his camera and went sightseeing. However, his phone rang in his pocket, giving him a sense of foreboding.After staring at the caller ID hesitatingly, he decided to answer anyway. "Hi, Mrs. Lawrence.""Oh, Carter…" Kathy sounded like she was crying. "Misty cut her wrists, but the doctors saved her. She's not doing great. Can you visit her?"A frown set on his face. "What happened?""It was the online attacks…"Hearing that, Carter made Kathy wait as he checked Twitter. Sure enough, Misty's name ranked high on the list of trending topics.Someone had exposed Misty for choosing to marry Carter despite still being in love with another man. The culprit even shared a few videos of Misty embarrassing Carter in public.Not only that, Misty's lies and her plan to wield public opinion against Carter had been exposed.Misty had been the ta

Carter did not wander far from the rooftop. Standing in the stairwell, he listened to rescuers pulling Misty back from the edge of the rooftop. Only then did he let out a tense sigh.A draft came in through the half-open window, making him shiver. He realized that his back was drenched in cold sweat.Thankfully, everything ended well. Had Misty jumped off that tower today, people would have condemned him for pushing his wife to death.He let out a bitter chuckle and made his way down the stairs, but someone stood in his way."Are you never returning to Misty's side for real?" Zeke met Carter's eyes. He asked sternly, "Did you mean what you said on the rooftop?"Carter ignored him. He had never taken Zeke seriously. All Zeke got was a frosty "get out of my way."Feeling looked down upon, Zeke grew furious. With a grim look, he was about to speak when someone patted him on the shoulder.Taylor had shown up from nowhere. He wrapped his arm around Zeke's neck and dragged him aside.

When Carter arrived, a crowd had gathered at the rooftop of Gronager Tower. Misty stood at the edge of the rooftop, her body tethering precariously.Not far away, police officers desperately tried to reason with her, and her parents pleaded with her tearfully.Misty, however, kept her eyes lowered. She ignored them all. It wasn't until Carter appeared that her eyes suddenly lit up."Darling!"Carter, still catching his breath, steadied himself and locked eyes with Misty. "Misty, what are you doing?" he asked.Misty's expression was heartbreakingly sorrowful. "Darling, I don't want to divorce you.""So, you've chosen this way to force my hand?" Carter clenched his fists tightly as he looked at her.He had always known that Misty carried an extreme and obsessive type of love for Zach. At one point, he had even envied and longed for that kind of devotion.But now that he was the subject of that obsessive love, he felt suffocated.A sudden wave of anger and disgust surged in Car

"Darling." Not noticing anything unusual about Carter, Misty reached out to take his arm with a smile.As always, Carter dodged her touch, but Misty did not mind. She knew patience was key to getting what she wanted.Recently, Carter's attitude toward her had softened considerably. It was only a matter of time before she talked him into going home.However, Misty had a nagging worry. How much longer could she hide her fake pregnancy from him as the months went by?Her best bet was to win him over before her "belly" began to show. At the same time, she needed to sleep with him and, even better, conceive his child, so that even if the truth eventually came to light, he wouldn't hold it against her for the baby's sake.She grinned widely at that thought. "Darling, we need to leave early today for the prenatal checkup. Oh, Mom and Dad really miss you too. Why don't we head over for lunch afterward? Mom is eager to share some parenting tips with us."Carter said nothing. He did not bu
