“You’re really not kidding?”
Harlan studied her for a few moments. “Nicole, think this through. If you divorce me, you’ll truly have nothing. Who would want you then?
How will you survive?”
Jacob, who had been nervously clutching Nicole’s hand, suddenly spoke up. “I want Mommy! Mommy still has me!”
“You?”
Harlan sneered, “You little brat, you’re taking her side too?
Don’t you know, if your mom leaves me, she won’t even be able to feed you!”
Jacob was just a little kid and was a bit scared of Harlan, but he still mustered his courage, puffed out his little chest, and said with a trembling voice, “I’ll grow up fast, and I’ll take care of Mommy!”
Hearing this, Nicole’s eyes finally reddened. She hugged her son tightly, took a deep breath, and said, “For me, this divorce is non–negotiable. If you’re willing to agree to it, it’ll save a lot of trouble. If you’re not, then I’ll file a lawsuit directly.”
Harlan looked at her and sneered, “You don’t learn anything good, just how to get a divorce. You think you can control me by bringing up divorce?
Nicole, do you think I’m someone who can be easily controlled?
Let me tell you, when your mom passed away, I felt a little sorry for you, wanted to make it you. But if you’re going to do this, then I can only tell you this: you can have a divorce, but I won’t give you a single penny.”
Nicole had expected this.
She said nothing, just took Jacob’s hand and headed for the door.
“Nicole!”

today, you’re never coming back!
Think it through, and don’t regret it!”
Nicole didn’t hesitate at all, opened the door, let her son go first, pushed the two suitcases herself, and never looked back.
Lucille’s life was now peaceful and simple.
Her grandmother’s visa had been approved, and the plane tickets to go abroad were already bought. Robert would be going with her and their grandmother to Magraica.
Ever since she had this older brother, many things she used to worry about, like renting a place and getting around abroad, were no longer her concern. He had taken care of everything perfectly. All she had to do was grab her suitcase and go.
Her daily routine consisted of going to the holistic health clinic for acupuncture and physical therapy. When she had free time, she would meet up with Vivian and Emma for coffee.
That day, just like any other, the driver Robert had arranged dropped her off at the holistic health clinic. After she got out, the driver waited in the car and didn’t go in with her. But as soon as she entered the clinic, she saw Cedrick sitting inside.
Cedrick immediately walked over when he saw her, stopping right in front of her. He gave her a slight smile. “Lucille.”
He had clearly made an effort to clean up today. His hair was freshly cut, his stubble was shaved, and although he looked a bit thinner, he seemed to be in decent spirits.
Lucille nodded as if he were a stranger and was about to walk past him.
“Lucille.”
He quickly took a step to the side, blocking her path again.
Lucille had no choice but to stop. She looked at the man in front of her, completely baffled. “What?
Do you
have some good news to tell me?”
Her tone was laced with sarcasm.
Cedrick was taken aback by her words. “What good news?”
“You’re so insistent on talking to me. Isn’t it because you have good news?

Are you going to be a father?

“No.” Cedrick’s face changed. “How could that be
