Chapter 41

Julianne already felt humiliated when I asked her to help with my divorce. Now, she was convinced I was insulting her on purpose.The resentment in her eyes was so strong it nearly shattered her perfect delicate image."Irvin…" she forced down her anger and looked at him, ready to complain.However, Irvin didn't even spare her a glance. He just scooped me up and walked off.She was furious, and I was even angrier. Just being touched by him made me want to douse myself in disinfectant, let alone being carried like this.I struggled, desperately trying to break free, but he refused to let go. I didn't dare fight too hard, though. Just as I was about to explode, Shaun stepped in front of us. Tall and imposing, he stood his ground, matching Irvin's intensity without flinching."Mr. Sawyer, Ms. Quill may be your wife, but you should still respect her decisions.""Get lost!" Irvin growled, wearing a grim expression.Irvin isn't the calm, image-conscious, deeply composed type of CEO

Seeing Julianne sit upright and distance herself from him, a flicker of disappointment flashed through Travis' eyes."I looked into it, but found nothing. Her injuries were so severe she couldn't even get out of bed. She probably couldn't have done anything anyway. Honestly, I think she was just badly hurt and yet never once visited by Mr. Sawyer, so she probably gave up."Travis saw me as a brainless fool, someone far too useless to pull off anything strategic.Julianne's eyes darkened. She knew I had been seriously injured, completely incapable of doing anything. However, no matter how badly hurt or heartbroken I was, she believed I loved Irvin as deeply as she did. I shouldn't have been able to let go so easily!She thought that something was definitely off. Something must have happened during my hospital stay!She refused to believe that I had genuinely given up on Irvin. Instead, she suspected I was quietly scheming something.Julianne had instructed Travis to dig deeper int

I suddenly felt so irritated that I didn't want to hear another word from him. "If dying's what you want, then go faster. Just don't mess it up and end up crippled instead."I would rather die than go through the kind of pain I had endured before.Irvin, who had seemed ready to say something, fell silent. His eyes darkened, and he said nothing more.He simply slowed down.I let out a bitter laugh. What a pathetic man. Tell him to slow down, and he won't. Tell him to kill himself, and he eases off the gas.Just like how he treated me before—when I wanted him, he didn't care. Now that I didn't want him, he refused to let go.The car sped all the way to an estate that felt both familiar and strange to me.A high-end estate right in the middle of the city—crazy expensive, but the scenery was absolutely stunning. Back when the company was just getting off the ground, Irvin and I came here to visit a client. I casually mentioned how amazing the place looked.I had said that living he

He had told me I had a dirty mind, that everything I saw was tainted. He said I was small-minded and couldn't tolerate anyone, that it was my sister, his lifesaver, and how could I think that way?When confronted with my scornful look, Irvin couldn't continue his argument. He knew better than anyone how he had responded to my repeated questions in the past.After a long silence, he yanked his tie off in frustration and threw it on the couch. "Emilia, you and I are not the same!""How are we not the same? Is it because I'm just purely grateful for his life-saving favor, while you're using it as an excuse to manipulate me, torment me, drive me crazy?"Irvin knew. He knew there should be distance and boundaries between men and women. He knew he had crossed that line before, yet he still did it.He still turned it all around and blamed me.There was only one reason. He wanted to torture me, make my life miserable, drive me crazy, and then play the role of the perfect partner with Jul

Chapter 45

That bastard, Irvin, never treated me like a wife, yet he was obsessed with having sex with me.It was textbook scumbag behavior, but back then, I pathetically believed it was proof that he loved me.I told myself that if he truly didn't care or was tired of me, he wouldn't touch me let alone be so relentless.Women only give themselves to men they like. Once that affection is gone, even being touched feels repulsive.However, men could separate sex from love with ease. A man wanting to sleep with you didn't mean he loved you.After being hurt, I needed sleeping pills just to get through the night, but here, I didn't dare take sleeping pills, not even with the door locked.I lay there with my eyes closed, wide awake past two in the morning, sleep still out of reach.I started counting sheep, again and again, until I finally drifted off in a hazy, fragile slumber.Suddenly, the strong stench of alcohol filled the air, jolting me awake. I instinctively tried to sit up, panic surg

I wanted to say he was disgusting, but I wasn't in any condition to argue with a drunk. So instead, I said, "Let go of me. Holding me like this makes me really uncomfortable."Irvin loosened his grip slightly, but he didn't fully let go.I continued, "You said you wouldn't be like you were before. If that's true, you have to show me you're sincere. You can't just expect a simple sorry to make up for everything you did. That's not how this works."I could tell he actually felt guilty about what happened. Bringing it up made his guilt even worse.As I expected, his arms stiffened slightly around me."Let go of me first. It's getting late, and I want to sleep. If you really change, maybe someday I'll be able to let go of these feelings."Even though I was trying to pacify him, I couldn't bring myself to lie and forgive him.However, forgiveness wasn't even the issue. I wasn't angry at him, I just didn't want him in my life.He stayed silent for a moment, holding me tightly. Then h

Chapter 47

At first, Maureen suggested a simple omelet, thinking that as long as he didn't overdo the salt or make it bland, it couldn't possibly go wrong.Who would have thought this genius in the business world, who could do anything, would mess up something as simple as an omelet so badly it was beyond words?She quickly gave up on that idea and had him try something else.Remembering that I loved bread and that using a bread maker was practically foolproof, Maureen figured it was the safest bet.One just had to toss in the ingredients, press a button, and voilà—perfectly baked bread. It didn't require any skill at all.Bread was also a perfect choice for breakfast.With her carefully guiding him on the exact measurements, the bread came out perfectly golden and fragrant, without a single mistake. "Come on, babe, just try it. Don't you love walnuts?" Irvin leaned forward, trying to feed me the bread when he saw I wasn't moving.I quickly leaned back, yanked my body away, and swatted t

Irvin's face turned pale as he realized that Julianne was the one who loved nuts.Watching the situation unfold, Maureen was speechless.When adding the nuts to the bread, she had remarked that Irvin had put in too many. She had never seen me eat anything with nuts at home, so she assumed I didn't like them.However, Irvin had insisted so firmly that I loved nuts.Seeing how certain he was, Maureen thought I must really enjoy them, and she even planned to make more nut-based dishes in the future.Now, she found out that I was actually severely allergic to nuts.As a husband, not only did he not know his wife was allergic to nuts, but he also thought they were my favorite food.It wasn't just me who was hurt. Even Maureen, as the housekeeper, felt deeply saddened by the situation.Maureen looked at Irvin, unsure whether to feel sorry for him or think he absolutely deserved it.I slowly finished the oatmeal before turning to Irvin. "I'm full. I'm going upstairs."…I wasn't su

She gave me a thumbs-up. "Perfect!"I knew she was complimenting me for not forgetting everyone except Irvin.Yeah, she was right."Alright, no more talk about that jerk. It's your birthday, and we have to celebrate big!" I exclaimed.Today, I was going to spoil Cordelia and make her feel like the happiest princess in the world.I wrapped my arm around her and took just one step forward when a heavy crash of something hitting the ground sounded right behind us.We instinctively turned and saw a heavy flowerpot smashed on the spot where we had just been standing.The pot had shattered into pieces, sharp fragments scattered everywhere. Both our faces turned pale in an instant.I didn't even want to think about what would've happened if we hadn't taken that step forward.The pot was so heavy. If it hit our heads, it would be a disaster.Cordelia snapped out of it and looked up, ready to yell at whoever was responsible, but before she could say a word, two kids came running down

Chapter 50

"Babe," Irwin called out as he snapped out of his daze. Then, he strode toward me.As he passed Julianne, who had been standing fine just moments before, she suddenly collapsed.Irvin's expression changed instantly, and he rushed to catch her, completely forgetting about me in the process.Out of his sight, Julianne shot me a provoking smile.I smiled back. I wasn't scared of her tricks because I was still counting on her to help me get a divorce.When Julianne fell, Simone rushed over, tears already streaming down her face. "Lianne, what's wrong? Is it because Emilia's stealing your things?"She looked up at Irvin, sobbing. "Irvin, we've all tried to give in to Emilia. We've let her have her way, but she's gone too far! She knows how much Lianne needs those pieces from Thompson, yet she's deliberately taking them from her! She's trying to make Lianne suffer!"Leaning against Irvin, Julianne said weakly, "Simone, don't say that. Whatever Millie wants, she can have. I don't mind…
