Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore)
Chapter 754

Yvonne asked, "Dad, does that mean you and Mom have wanted to divorce for a long time and were just waiting for Sebastian and me to grow up?"

Geoffrey remained silent. His lack of response was as good as an admission.

Yvonne sighed softly. "If that's the case, then why did you marry Mom in the first place? Did you marry her because you loved her? If it was out of love, why did the love fade later? And if it wasn't for love, then why marry in the first place?" Faced with Yvonne's questions, Geoffrey didn't know how to answer. He had never told his children the truth about his marriage to Xyla.

Seeing her father's silence, Yvonne understood. What her grandmother had said must be true.

Geoffrey married Xyla purely for his own benefit. He had used her to climb the social ladder.

He never truly loved her. That was why, over the years, he never treated her mother with the care one would show a loved one.

Now that he didn't have anything to lose, he divorced her without hesitation. How could he be so heartless?

"Vonnie, this isn't something you should be asking about. You're grown up now. You'll understand many things in the future," Geoffrey said.

"Understand what? Understand how to use someone and then discard them once they're no longer valuable?" Yvonne retorted.

Hearing the sarcasm in his daughter's words, Geoffrey frowned. "What do you mean by that? Has someone been saying things to you? Was it your mom?"

Could it be that after the divorce, Xyla was resentful and started speaking ill of him? Although he didn't love Xyla, he knew her. She didn't seem like the type to bad-mouth him.

If she truly harbored so much bitterness, she wouldn't have agreed to the divorce. Why go through with it and then talk behind his back?

"Mom didn't say anything to me," Yvonne replied, clenching her fists in frustration. "You know her. She's endured so much over the years. There are things I can see for myself. Dad, Mom truly loves you. She has always put you first. How could you bear to—" "Yvonne," Geoffrey cut her off, his eyes flashing with anger. "Stop talking before I get mad. This is between your mother and me. We're already divorced, and what's done is done. There's no point in digging any further."

Yvonne was startled by the stern look in her father's eyes. She knew Geoffrey was a ruthless man. If she truly angered him, even as his daughter, she wouldn't escape unscathed.

Yvonne still had many more questions she wanted to ask, but in the end, she didn't dare to say another word and kept quiet.

She had thought that she was important to him, but the reality was her father always put himself first. He would never have a real, honest conversation with her.

Seeing the look on Yvonne's face, Geoffrey sighed softly. He reached out and ruffled her head.

"Your mom is a good woman. I'm very grateful for her companionship over the years, but we're no longer meant to be together, so we divorced. If we stayed in this marriage, your mom wouldn't be happy either. Now, she's free to do whatever she wants. I promise you, no matter what happens in the future, I will always help her. Though we can't be husband and wife, we can still be family."

He and Xyla had divorced peacefully without any major conflicts. He had even considered trying to reconcile, but then the situation with Sebastian had arisen, and they had to come back. Even fate wasn't on their side.
