It’s Too Late To Get A Divorce

“Oh, so that’s where she went.” Jaydon’s heart trembled. He felt extremely frustrated because he had not expected her to go to such a cold place, especially without tending to her wound.

“Yeah,” Samuel responded calmly, his eyes turning sharp.

Jaydon, paying no attention to Samuel’s expression, glanced at everyone and said somewhat weakly, “You all should leave.”

One by one, the people in the room left. Kim and Samuel each gave a worried look at Alita, who was lying in bed with her forehead bandaged, before finally leaving. They wanted to save her and make her leave the Lewis family and live a happy

The room became quiet. Jaydon walked to the bedside and sat down, gazing at Alita’s pale face. A pungent smell of alcohol, a cheap and high-proof liquor, wafted over. He imagined her sitting alone in the graveyard, drinking the liquor, the desolate scene breaking his heart. He reached out to touch her wound, feeling as if the pain had transferred to him. He stayed by her bedside the whole night, hoping that if she frowned in her sleep, he could ease her sorrow.

Alita woke up with a splitting headache. Seeing the familiar large chandelier, she blinked in confusion

“Alita, how are you feeling?” Jaydon looked up and, seeing her open her eyes, exclaimed with delight, reaching for her hand,

Alita rolled her eyes, touched her forehead, and closed her eyes again. She didn’t want to see Jaydon’s face or hear his voice. She would rather be deaf and blind.

Her reaction left Jaydon uneasy. “Alita, it was my fault yesterday didn’t mean to push you to the ground or make you hit the coffee table. In any case, it’s my responsibility.”

Ignoring his words, Alita made a decision. Opening her eyes, she struggled to sit up, put on her slippers, and headed outside.

“Honey, where are you going?” Jaydon chased after her.

Alita looked ahead, expressionless, as if he didn’t exist.

“Honey, let’s talk. Whatever it is, we can talk about it,” Jaydon said, looking guilty as he held her hand.

Alita shook her hand but couldn’t break free from his grip. She stared at him coldly without saying a word.

“Can we talk?” Jaydon said disheartened.

Alita remained silent, her eyes filled with a steely determination.

“I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. You’re injured. Go rest. I’ll agree to whatever you ask.” Jaydon was at a loss. He realized the harm he had caused her throughout the previous day, despite his recent efforts to improve their relationship.

“Go to hell,” she muttered, her voice sounding like it came from the abyss.

Jaydon restrained his anger and said, “Please calm down. We can talk things through. Have you forgotten about our agreement? Pull yourself together.”

Alita smiled coldly, unfazed by his persuasive words. She had already made up her mind.

Despite Jaydon’s efforts, Alita remained unresponsive, The moment he reluctantly let go of her hand, she continued walking toward Mike’s room. Jaydon followed, unsure of her intentions.

Upon reaching Mike’s room, she politely knocked and entered after receiving a response from inside.

Upon seeing her, Mike exclaimed, “Alita, you’re supposed to be having a rest, aren’t you?” He glared at Jaydon, wondering why Jaydon couldn’t even console his wife.

Approaching Mike, Alita got straight to the point, “Mike, I’ve decided to undergo artificial insemination.”

Mike was astonished, and Jaydon was too shocked to speak. ‘What did she say?’ he wondered. ‘Is she crazy? She said she would rather die than undergo artificial insemination, didn’t she

Smiling kindly, Mike asked, “Why the sudden change of heart?”

“I will undergo artificial insemination and bear a child for the Lewis family, but Mike, you have to agree to a request of

mine.”

“Go ahead,” Mike said.

“I want to return to Theisia! If you agree, I will focus on having a child. After the child is born, Jaydon can take the child back to the Lewis family. As for me, unless I want to, no one can order me to come back, Alita declared. She had lost confidence in living with this man. As long as she didn’t have to see him, she was willing to endure any pain.

Jaydon stood there, his heart pierced with pain. It seemed she wanted to leave him just like she did five years ago. Her heart had always been so resolute.

Mike sighed as he leaned back. After a long pause, he said, “Alita, I know you’re feeling aggrieved, but what you’re saying is so cruel for a woman. When you’re pregnant, you won’t have a husband by your side. When the child grows up, can you bear to let him leave you? It’s a shame for a child to grow up without a mother’s companionship. So, I hope you can reconsider

Alita’s tone remained calm. “No need to consider. I don’t care if it’s cruel or not. I believe this is the only way my life can be Mike, please agree

Jaydon looked at her expressionless face, clenched his fists, and said with anguish in his eyes, “If you don’t fight for it, how do you know there’s no hope? Don’t bother asking Grandpa. I’ll make the decision. I won’t allow you to go to Theisia. I just won’t allow it. He grabbed her arm and roughly pulled her out of Mike’s room.

Mike sat on the bed, letting out a sigh. The butler bent down and said, “Sir, you see, Mr. Jaydon still has feelings for Mrs. Alita. I haven’t seen Mr. Jaydon heartbroken yet.”

“You haven’t seen it, but I have. Actually, five years ago, when Alita wanted to leave, he was heartbroken. It’s just that Jaydon is too stubborn. He can’t handle something like that and he doesnt know how to make things right. I know they care about each other. I just don’t know how to help them.” Mike felt heavy hearted. He knew he didn’t have too much time left, and only if Jaydon and Alita could live a happy life, could he rest in peace.

“Sir, I have something to say. I think you should leave the matter of Mrs. Alita going to Theisia to Mr. Jaydon. If you agree, Mr. Jaydon will have no choice but to resent Mrs. Alita even more. It’s better to give him the chance and let them talk it out. Communication is crucial,” the butler advised.

Mike pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.

Alita was dragged out of the room by Jaydon, who completely disregarded her resistance and forcefully pulled her upstairs.

“Let go of me. Alita coldly shouted at him.

“I won’t let go, never! I forbid you to leave, not just for Theisia, but you are not even allowed to step Jaydon said, feeling both distressed and fearful, gripping her hard even tighter.

Alita, filled with hatred, raised her fist to strike him, her eyes turning bloodshot. “I can live anywhere in this world without you, Jaydon, even in hell,” she exclaimed.

Jaydon felt another stab of pain in his heart. “Fine, if you’re in so much pain with me, I’ll make sure to keep you bound. Don’t even think about dying,” he retorted.

“You are a monster!” Alita screamed hysterically, slapping him across the face.

Jaydon restrained her hand. “I don’t care, Alita. This time, you’re not going anywhere,” he declared.

Alita looked at him, tears streaming down her face. “What do you want from me? Just kill me, please,” she pleaded.

The intense argument attracted everyone on the third floor to come out of their rooms. Kim looked at the distraught Alita, feeling a pang in his heart.

“Jaydon, Alita, please stop. Annabel, in her nightgown, intervened. Her words emboldened the others to speak up.

To Jaydon, they were all invisible. All he could see was Alita, her weeping, her breakdown, and her determination to leave him even if it meant death.

“Don’t even think about it. You don’t even have the right to die, Jaydon’s voice was chilling and ominous, sending shivers down everyone’s spine..

Kim clenched his fists and, to everyone’s surprise, stepped forward, pulled Jaydon’s hand away and shielded Alita behind him. “Jaydon, she’s ill. You’re being too harsh,” he said.

“Get lost,” Jaydon said, his eyes cold upon seeing Kim.

Jaydon, you’re not rational right now. I’m sorry, but I can’t let you have your way with Alita. Annabel, take her to Let Jaydon calm down,” Kim said, discreetly squeezing Alita’s cold hand and pushing her toward Annabel.

Annabel, obedient to Kim’s words, reluctantly complied. “Alita, come to our room and stay for a while,” she said.

Alita was willing to go anywhere as long as she could escape from Jaydon.

Annabel carefully led Alita to the room, while Jaydon, filled with rage, shouted, “Annabel, stop right there!”

As Jaydon was about to charge forward, Kim blocked his path. “Jaydon, you can’t go over there,” he said.

o our room.

Jaydon, seething with anger, grabbed Kim’s collar and punched him. “How dare you interfere in my affairs?” he exclaim

Kim took a punch to the face and immediately retaliated. “Who do you think you are? I’m not scared of you. You treat yo own wife so brutally. You’re an as*hole, he retorted,

The onlookers were shocked by Kim’s audacity to insult his cousin so blatantly.
