When she left, He went crazy

Chapter 49 Heading to the Courthouse

I sensed that something was amiss.

1 could hardly look him in the eye for fear that the doctor would tell him that I was pregnant.

In that case, my plan was about to be disrupted.

I spoke up first. “Doctor, he didn’t come with me today. He came for a checkup with another woman.”

Christopher’s voice sounded a bit deep. “I didn’t come with her on purpose.”

“But you did come, didn’t you?” I asked in return.

I didn’t want to dwell on the causes and details of this matter.

I didn’t care why he ended up with Evelyn or why Evelyn ended up pregnant with his child. I only cared that he had betrayed me.

As for Evelyn’s pregnancy, whether it was accidental or planned, there was no fundamental difference.

Since they had already been in a relationship, no amount of excuses could deny their wrongdoing.

Christopher couldn’t argue with me. He squinted his eyes and said, “You haven’t told me yet. What exactly are you here for at the hospital today?”

“I have already answered your question.”

“Don’t try to deceive me!”

The doctor who was conducting my examination had not left yet. She asked me, “Mrs. Valence, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?”

Christopher saw that I was hiding something from him, so he looked at the doctor and asked, “Doctor, was there any issue with my wife’s examination that day?”

“Doctor…”

I was so nervous that I was digging my nails into my palms, and my back was oozing with sweat. But under Christopher’s sharp eyes, I dared not say anything more.

My heart raced, pounding relentlessly in my chest.

I could only look at the doctor almost imploringly, hinting to her not to tell him.

Alter the divorce, all I wanted was to distance myself from Christopher, raise the child on my own, and become a good mother

I didn’t want to continue entangling WIL

him, let alone lose my child.

Even if I could successfully give birth to the child, the members of the Valence family would not allow me to raise him.

Although Bentley treated me well, the condition was that my child had to be raised by them.

I didn’t expect that; the doctor who advised me to endure for the sake of the child that day said, “She does have some issues, but it’s not serious. Mrs. Valence has multiple uterine polyps. If they are still there at the next checkup, surgery will be needed.”

I widened my eyes in astonishment, yet concurrently, I inwardly exhaled a sigh of relief, gazing at the physician with eyes brimming with gratitude.

“Mrs. Valence, you still need to take better care of yourself. I’m going to be busy now.”

After the doctor finished speaking, she left with her assistant.

Christopher frowned. “Since you’re not feeling well, why didn’t you mention it to me after completing the physical examination?”

“Christopher, how many times have I seen you during these days? Did you give me a chance to tell you about this?”

I just found his words very ironic.

What qualifications does he have to ask me this question?”

I had only seen him twice recently. A phone call from Evelyn first called him away, and then I ended up being the one who interfered in someone else’s relationship.

He sighed. “I sent you a message, but you didn’t reply.”

“Yes, you spent the whole day with Evelyn while managing to replace time to message me. Should I thank you and reply to you?”

I remember a few days ago when he did ask me about the results of my physical examination.

Why do I have to accept his handout–like greeting text?

Christopher furrowed his brow and said, “Who told you I spent the whole day with her?”

“Then I’ll put it another way: you’re on call 24/7, right?”

“Hope.”

“Enough, Christopher, there’s really no need for us to make things so awkward.”

I sighed and continued. “Can’t we just part ways amicably, okay?”

After hearing my words, Christopher fell unusually silent, his expression dark. “Do you really have to divorce me?”

I looked at him and smiled. We don’t have to get divorced, but I’ll post the marriage license on the company forum when I get home, and Evelyn will be back in the spotlight.

He was slightly taken aback. “Do you know what happened at the company?”

“Oh, I just found out today.”

I wanted to casually shrug but found myself too weak to do so. Sou won’t change your mind, right?”

He was unwilling to let Evelyn face questioning from others.

you

Indeed, his countenance grew stern. She was in an unstable condition and couldn’t tolerate stimulation. However, you could be assured that once she recovered, I would not let you be wronged further.”

After listening to his words, I felt heartbroken.

I held back the bitterness, looking at him disappointedly. “What if I were pregnant too and in an even worse situation than hers?”

Every mi

minute and every second I stood there, I could feel the dull ache in my lower abdomen and the dampness between my legs.

But Christopher told me that Evelyn couldn’t handle the excitement, so she had to reluctantly inconvenience me.

Do 1 deserve to be humble, to be wronged?

Christopher’s body stiffened slightly, then he chuckled and said, “How come you’re being as childish as her now?”

“What?” I exclaimed in astonishment.

“Besides your safe period, we used contraception every time so you couldn’t get pregnant.”

Suddenly, a cold wind swept in, causing me to shiver involuntarily.

My body was trembling slightly, and my voice was a bit hoarse. “Have you never thought about us having children?”

He frowned and asked, “Do you want children?”

“Stop talking.”

I suddenly couldn’t control my emotions and interrupted him sharply, “You have time now, right? We’re going to get divorced this afternoon.”

Christopher’s face darkened. I’m not spare today.”

“In that case, let’s do it tomorrow then!”

I pursed my lips and spoke solemnly, “Tomorrow afternoon, I’ll be waiting for you at the courthouse entrance.”

“Let’s meet for lunch at noon. If we really must get a divorce, let’s have one last lunch together.” He lowered his head. and looked at me.

I almost burst into tears, shaking my head in refusal. “We are all going to separate, so don’t leave too r

many memories.”

I just finished speaking when the elevator doors opened. I didn’t even dare to look at him again, so I turned around and stepped into the elevator.

The next afternoon, when Elissa saw me changing clothes to get ready to go out, she asked, “Are you going out? Didn’t the doctor say you need to rest?”

“I went to file for divorce.”

The temperature dropped suddenly, and I put on a white cashmere coat. My lips were still a bit pale. “If I had divorced him earlier, I wouldn’t always be affected emotionally. The doctor said that being in a good mood is important.”

Moreover, I drove to the courthouse, which didn’t involve much physical activity, similar to resting at home.

She asked worriedly. “Shall I accompany you?

“No need.”

I wanted to go alone.

Sadly, Christopher was not present when the marriage registration was being processed. Bentley sent someone to handle it instead.

This time, I should be able to go to the courthouse with Christopher together for the divorce.

Since our marriage process was not pleasant, our ending should at least be dignified.

When I arrived at the courthouse, Christopher was already waiting at the entrance.

The weather was terrible today, with heavy rain, a rare occurrence in the fall.

He walked to the car with an umbrella, holding my arm and considerately reminding me. “Slow down, don’t step in the puddles.”

“Okay.

The ground was slippery, and he might have been afraid of me slipping. He firmly held onto my shoulders, just like these three years of marriage.

I felt a twinge of disappointment realizing that we could still uphold each other as a couple at that moment, yet as we exited through that door, our connection would cease to exist.

We had just stepped through the entrance when a staff member approached us with a smile.

“Are you here to register your marriage? Your bond must be strong, getting married even on a rainy day.”
