Chapter 6

"Don't cry. I won't let her give birth unless you want to."

“I will arrange an accident to cause her to miscarry, such as a car accident.”

My hand holding the phone trembled uncontrollably.

My heart felt like it was being torn apart, and large tears rolled down my cheeks.

Two days after my mother passed away, I found out I was pregnant.

I thought it was my mother reincarnated coming to find me.

Ethan hugged me happily and said he was going to be a father; we finally had the fruit of our love.

For those six months, I lived every day dreaming of a happy life for my family of three.

But a car accident took everything away.

It turns out he was the real culprit.

He also had to feign tolerance and consideration, making me feel guilty and always give in to him.

Vanessa continued sending messages:

Claire, you should understand now, right? All the kindness Ethan showed you was just something you got by taking advantage of me.

[If I wanted, he would bring the house, the burial plot, even Ethan's wife's identity back to me.]

If you don't want to be kicked out one day, leave him voluntarily. After all, a substitute can never replace the real thing.

I did not reply.

Wiping away my tears, I took a taxi straight to the airport.

As I was boarding the plane, Ethan suddenly called.

"Claire, why didn't you come to the company? Are you still angry?"

"Alright, it was my fault for not informing you about the cemetery plot beforehand. I'll have my assistant ask if anyone is willing to sell it at a high price."

"Now you'll be calmer and can go home, right? Everyone gave Vanessa a welcome gift, remember to prepare one for you when you come, so she doesn't feel excluded."

I looked out the airport's floor-to-ceiling windows:

“Ethan, I’ve already resigned, and I can never go back to that home.”

His voice suddenly rose in pitch:

"Claire, there's a limit to your temper tantrums. What's the point of constantly threatening me with divorce?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his assistant's voice came from the other end:

"Ethan, someone just delivered a document to you, it's... a divorce agreement."

In the brief silence that followed Ethan, I slowly began to speak:

"You're right, it's only right to return it to its rightful owner."

"So I'm giving you all back to Vanessa, including you. Goodbye."

After saying that, I blocked both him and Vanessa.

Without hesitation, I boarded the plane bound for overseas.
