After the husband’s step–sister became a widow, he asked for a divorce from me, who was five months pregnant.
He looked serious and guilty, “Her children are still young, and if there is no one to take care of them, they will be bullied. I couldn’t just ignore it.”
I did not make a big fuss, Tealmly agreed.
It was only because in my past life I didn’t agree, and even went to his army to cause trouble while pregnant, that I saved the marriage.
In the end, Chelsea Anderson was bullied by people in the village because of her widow status, and even scoundrels came to her door, forcing her to
commit suicide and die
Lucas Davis, therefore, resented me and spread rumors that
it I had forced him to marry me out of gratitude, I had long lost my innocence.
I was investigated and registered by the organization, then sent to a farm, and finally died in the cowshed after a difficult delivery.
This time, I made up my mind to let go and terminate the pregnancy in order to continue with my studies.
I put down my pen and before I could even get up, Lucas hurriedly snatched the divorce application from beside me
The slender fingers held the thin sheets of paper and immediately handed them to the instructor.
The instructor took the application, furrowed his brow slightly, and sighed, “This divorce… sigh, what a pity. Once the approval is granted, come and collect your certificate.”
Upon hearing this, Lucas’s face unexpectedly showed a hint of a relaxed smile.
I sat silently, staring fixedly out of the window.
Today was the beginning of spring, but this sudden blizzard came unexpectedly.
Coming our of the office, the snow had lowered the color of the sky, and the surrounding air w
was so still that it suffocated.
Lucas stopped in his tracks, turned his head slightly towards me, and said seriously, “Celine, thank you for understanding me.”
“Don’t worry, over at Chelsea’s, once the child is a bit older, we can remarry.
His tone was solemn, as if I should be grateful to the point of tears.
But his tone was also mixed with a vague warning “By the way, let’s not spread the word about our divorce. It will be troublesome if outsiders find out.”
I was stunned for a moment and only said, “Okay.”
Is it because he was afraid that the father of the military commander in Groveland would hinder his future after knowing about it?
A couple’s quarrel, I was also willing to leave the last bit of dignity for him.
He nodded, as if finding peace in his heart, and quickened his pace.
And as I was walking towards the car, he suddenly stopped me
“I had to go pick up Chelsea. You can walk back by yourself.”
After saying that, he started the car and drove away.
Snowflakes hit my face, it was very cold
The skin was so cold that it became numb, to the point that even the corners of the lips were slightly stift when attempting a bitter smile. As a pregnant woman, I really didn’t dare to walk & kilometers in such snowy weather
village the next day.
I had to stay in the inn for the whole day and waited for the cart to return to the village
Just as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I heard some rumors from the past about me seeking revenge and being promiscuous.
The speaker was excited and didn’t pay any attention to the subject being discussed as they walked past her.
I didn’t stop to argue and continued walking forward, only hearing the last sentence. “Ah, Lucas is just an honest person, he’s had a rough lite.”
When I got back home, my chest felt heavy and painful, and my stomach was aching faintly.
