After Three Years, I’m Choosing Divorce Chapter 8 My Only Chance
Nicole flicked on the bedroom light, and the sudden brightness made me squint.She stormed toward me and yanked my hair, eyes blazing with fury. "This is your idea of not clinging to Austin? Is this what you promised me?" she yelled. "Lumi, I never knew someone from such humble beginnings could be so cunning. You've barely recovered from your miscarriage, and here you are seducing Austin. Have you no shame?"Austin, half-dressed and disheveled, looked over at her with a frown. He still reeked of alcohol. "Nicole, you can't even conceive, so what right do you have to meddle in my marriage?"He continued, "I only brought you here to keep you out of trouble. You know the deal—without a child, there's no future for us. If you had carried that baby to term, you might still be the woman I wanted. But now, you don't even have a womb. So why the hell do you think you can control who I'm with?"He looked at her, his eyes bloodshot.She stared back, stunned, before breaking down into tears.
After Three Years, I’m Choosing Divorce Chapter 9 A New Beginning
That afternoon, Austin and I went to the courthouse and finalized the divorce.Looking at how disheveled and worn he was, I gripped the divorce certificate in my hand tightly. He sneered after giving me a glance, "Leaving my family, huh? You won't be able to survive. Without us, your family would've been bankrupt ages ago. You've got the guts, divorcing me. Guess you're done with the good life."I raised an eyebrow, meeting his sneer with my own. "By all means, let my family go under. The worse things are for them, the happier I'll be. I'm beyond done with this life with you, Austin. Looking back now, it just makes my skin crawl."I used to fear him, worried that his wrath would fall on my family and that I would become my family's punching bag yet again. But now, the slate was clean. I was free from both the Joneses and the Thatchers alike. I didn't need to fear Austin anymore.His father had been right about him—he was a lost cause. He used to complain about being the youngest
After Three Years, I’m Choosing Divorce Chapter 1 Priority
As I grasped the medical report tightly, I sat on the hospital bench with mixed feelings regarding the news of my pregnancy.I had clicked on Austin's phone number several times, but I didn't dare to call him. I didn't know if Austin would think I had ulterior motives and pressure me to abort the baby if I told him about my pregnancy.Just as I looked up at the gynecology department not far away and was hesitating whether to take the initiative to abort the baby, my phone suddenly rang.After staring at Austin's name on the screen, I anxiously answered the phone. "Hi, Austin.""Where are you?"Upon hearing his question, I clutched my phone and pursed my lips. Even though I wanted to lie to him, I was too cowardly to do it. "I'm at the hospital.""Kregate General Hospital?""Yes.""Great. I want you to come to the second floor of the emergency department building now. I'll wait for you at the stairway on the second floor." Austin sounded anxious, and he hung up the phone after g
After Three Years, I’m Choosing Divorce Chapter 2 Lost the Baby
Thus, I accepted my fate and transfused 600 ml of blood to Nicole. My whole body felt floaty and light when I got off the operating table.I propped myself up and walked to the door with the nurse's help. When I saw Austin, a lump formed in my throat. I choked up, saying, "Austin, I…Yet, Austin didn't spare me a glance and just walked up to the nurse beside me, asking, "How is Nicole?"I clenched my fists. Even though I knew how important Nicole was to Austin, I still couldn't help but feel aggrieved at this moment. I had transfused 600 ml of blood to his first love while I was pregnant with his child. Yet, he actually ignored me!Watching Austin anxiously ask the nurse about Nicole's condition, I lowered my eyes and pursed my lips. I tried to listen to what the nurse said, but the nurse's voice seemed to be fading away. At the same time, I felt lightheaded and some pain in my chest. Suddenly, I blacked out and lost consciousness.It was already dark outside by the time I woke up
After Three Years, I’m Choosing Divorce Chapter 3 Nicole's Substitute
I parted my lips. My throat felt extremely dry. I wanted to explain to Austin, but seeing his expression, I didn't dare to tell him the truth. Considering that he cared so much about Nicole, he would definitely think I purposely slandered Nicole if I told him that I miscarried because I had transfused blood to her.Then again, I figured I should tell him the truth. After all, judging from his furious state, he seemed to care about our baby.Would he, though? Would he really care about the baby he had with me? I lowered my eyes and laughed at myself. After that, I raised my eyes and nodded to Austin. "Well, I was afraid that you thought I would use the baby as an excuse to continue to stay by your side. So…"Gloom surfaced in Austin's eyes as he stared at me. "Okay," he uttered through his teeth.After he re-entered Nicole's ward, I breathed a sigh of relief and returned to my ward with difficulty.It was thanks to my father donating his kidney I could marry Austin. Among all the c
After Three Years, I’m Choosing Divorce Chapter 4 Leaving
When I dragged my suitcase and arrived at the main hall on the first floor, I coincidentally made eye contact with Austin, who was standing at the door.He looked at me before shifting his gaze to the suitcase in my hand. At once, he strode over and grabbed my suitcase from me. "You aborted our baby, and now you want to leave?"Pursing my lips, I clenched my fists and looked up at Austin. "L-Let's get a divorce."I was so nervous that my palms were sweaty. After three years of marriage, this was the first time I acted on my own initiative and told him about my thoughts.In the past, I was weak and an easy target, but not anymore. Even if I had to live on the street, I refused to be a weakling who could be manipulated by others.Staring at me, Austin let go of my suitcase and sneered, "Divorce? Lumi, you aborted our baby. Yet, here you are, thinking of divorcing me instead of ways to make it up to me. You really got a lot of nerves, huh?"He stepped forward, picked me up, and put
After Three Years, I’m Choosing Divorce Chapter 5 Nicole Moved In
That night, I went online and searched for information about filing for divorce. I knew it would be a challenge for me to get a divorce without Austin's consent. Even so, would the outcome be different if I forfeited everything or if I had evidence of Austin's cheating during our marriage?I consulted several lawyers online, and they all practically gave me the same answer: it would be easier for me to get a divorce if I obtained evidence of my spouse's wrongdoings.Now that I had a better idea of how to proceed with my divorce, I was filled with energy.Since Austin and Nicole had such an intimate relationship, I would definitely be able to gain evidence showing the two were having an affair as long as I followed Austin.Early the next morning, I was woken up by the noise downstairs. Dragging my frail body, I walked to the stairway and looked down. I saw Austin carefully helping Nicole walk slowly into the bedroom on the first floor.I couldn't exactly pinpoint how I felt as I ga
After Three Years, I’m Choosing Divorce Chapter 6 No Resolution
Austin pulled me close. A hint of anger flashed in his eyes as he gazed down at me. Then, he bent down, carried me in his arms, and took me to the bedroom.Still holding me in his embrace, he frowned as he stared at me. "Why does it feel like you're pushing me into another woman's arms?"I studied his displeased expression, summoning the nerve to give him a cold, mocking laugh. "Then what's the point of moving Nicole in here? If she means nothing to you, why were you so desperate to save her—so much so that you risked my health for hers?"Austin, we've been married three years, and in all that time, you've never forgotten her. I know you only married me because your father forced you. I could live with that resentment, but don't pretend there's anything more here."Your family has done plenty for mine. We've taken our share of benefits, and it's time you stop hiding your feelings for Nicole. I've made myself clear already: let's divorce. You can be with your first love, and I can f
