Setting My Husband Free

In a daze, I watched as Nolan and his group hurried off to their next party.I could still hear him talking to his assistant on the phone. "Send her home," he said, without a trace of concern.Old memories flooded my mind at that moment.Snapping back to reality, I didn't wait for Nolan to respond. I walked past him and left the bar. I had delivered his grandfather's message. Whether Nolan wanted to go or not, that was his choice.I had never once given him the cold shoulder. This was probably the first time since we had gotten married.I must've caught him off guard because even as I left, Nolan was still standing there, dumbfounded.The moment I got into the car, Nolan called."It was just a friendly kiss! What's with the attitude?"The first thing he did was complain about my behavior earlier.Leaving without a word must've embarrassed him in front of his friends.I felt a sharp pang in my chest. So, it was normal for "friends" to be so intimate with each other. Did th

Before anything else, I needed to make a trip to the Garrisons' estate.-Albert was frowning deeply in his study. "Yvette, you know that I will stand up for you if you've been wronged," he started. "However, divorce isn't a small matter. The Garrisons and Sullivans are closely tied together."Each of Albert's words felt like a hammer pounding against my heart. I understood what he meant, but I couldn't go on any longer."Grandpa, I've made up my mind," I said firmly, my voice echoing through the study.I looked him straight in the eyes, no longer speaking to him as his granddaughter-in-law at this moment."Even after the divorce, the relationship between our families will remain intact. I am the only daughter of the Sullivans, and they want me to be happy."I wasn't asking for Albert's permission for the divorce—this was merely out of respect for him as an elder.Albert was silent for a long time before he finally spoke, "Yvette, we've wronged you. I agree with the divorce.

Nolan's words lingered in my mind even after he left. No wonder he seemed like a completely different person overnight. As it turned out, I was the cause of it all.Back then, Nolan already had someone he liked in the same class as him—Ruby.After Nolan started his business, Ruby naturally joined his company. As he was about to confess his feelings to her, my parents had gone to see Albert."That girl isn't right for you. Your company means nothing to the Garrisons. Do you think Ruby would stay by your side if your company collapses?"Those were Albert's exact words. Nolan explained to me that Albert could ruin his company in an instant if he wanted to.So, he had buried his feelings for Ruby deep inside him, and I became the scapegoat for Nolan's frustration over his failed romance.When Nolan told me all this, I couldn't help but find it both funny and tragic.Before I could even respond, Nolan grabbed the divorce agreement from the table and left.After that day, Nolan n

There was a hint of sadness in Nolan's eyes. I tried to pull my hand away, but he only gripped it tighter. It wasn't until I pretended to be in pain that he finally let go.Five minutes later, he came back with a share transfer agreement. I looked at him, feeling confused. Then, to my surprise, Nolan knelt on one knee before me and gently took my hand."These shares represent all of my holdings in the company. I'm giving them all to you. Will you accept them?" Nolan looked at me with hopeful eyes. It was almost as if he was waiting for me to forgive him, embrace him happily, and overlook everything he had done to me over the past three years of our marriage."No."The smile on Nolan's face instantly fell when he heard my response, and his grip on my hand tightened."Tell me, what can I do for you to forgive me?""Fire Ruby," I said without any hesitation. In truth, I wasn't bothered about Nolan's shares or his money. Also, asking him to fire Ruby—it was just a spur-of-the

I heard someone calling for me as I slowly opened my eyes. The room was filled with people, and Nolan stood across from me. It was my mother who had called my name.As soon as I woke up, I instinctively reached for my belly. My mom's eyes reddened at the sight."Is the baby… gone?" I asked, my voice trembling.No one answered me, but Nolan finally nodded after a long pause."Yvette, we can still have—"Smack! My father's slap cut Nolan off. Albert, who was standing nearby, didn't hold my father back at all.The baby was gone, and my heart felt like it had been torn apart. I stared at Nolan, my voice barely above a whisper."Mom, Dad, I'd like to talk to Nolan alone."As they left, my mother handed me the divorce agreement. Nolan's eyes were fixed on the papers in my hand. When we were finally alone, he stepped forward. He grabbed my hand and begged for forgiveness."I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, Yvette. It's all my fault. I should have protected you and our baby!"He then sl
