“What are you doing?”
“The divorce agreement will be sent to your company tomorrow morning. After we sign it, we will have nothing to do with each other. Don’t care about what happened in the past. Just pretend that we haven’t met each other.”
“I can’t do it.”
“That’s your business.”
Ryan Campbell had never been so humble in his life, but in return, I still wanted to leave. He took a deep breath, looked down and asked, “have you really loved me?”
My nose twitched. I frowned and tried to hold back the tears in my eyes. “Maybe not.”
Ryan Campbell smiled with self mockery and loosened his grip on my luggage. He said, “come back when you’re done. I’ll wait for you at home this time.”
I didn’t look back because I was afraid that he would see the tears on my face.
When I walked out of the door, I didn’t feel relieved. Standing in the elevator with tears streaming down, I felt a little helpless. The gap between the happiness I imagined and the reality made me feel a little tired.
I don’t know if it’s my own problem to have two failed relationships. Maybe my decision at the moment is selfish. In order to keep the child for myself, I chose to tell him a false news.
I don’t know what kind of existence a child is in his heart. Maybe he will feel sorry for it.
In the future, I will put all my attention on the child.
Leave this city and completely disappear from his life. Whether he is with Kathy and Clark or marry another woman, it has nothing to do with me
I have contacted Ceres in advance and decided to stay at her house for the time being. After the child is discharged from the hospital, I will leave and go to a strange place to start a new life.
Ryan Campbell’s POV
I stood still in the middle of the room. It was quiet and cold everywhere.
I walked to the balcony and looked downstairs. In the rain, I couldn’t see anyone, let alone her figure.
She didn’t take many things with her, and traces of her could be seen everywhere.
Her appearance made my life a little irregular than before. All the rules in my world were messed up by her, but after disturbing my life, she chose to leave.
Looking at the cold dishes on the table, I pulled out a chair and sat down. Then I took out my phone and looked at her current position.
I was afraid that she would look for Philip Matthews. According to the location shown on the address, I drove there. I also learned from Jeffrey Scott that this is the residence of Ceres Taylor.
As long as she doesn’t go to see Philip Matthews, I’m afraid that she’s bewitched by Philip Matthews to leave so decisively this time.
Irene Nadine’s POV
Ceres Taylor rented an apartment by herself. The house was not big or small. Although it was not as magnificent as Campbell family’s mansion, I felt comfortable living in such a warm place.
“Ceres, I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you for a while.”
“Don’t say that. Sometimes I’m afraid of living alone. I’m eager to have someone to accompany me.”
I smiled and sorted out my daily necessities. Like me, Ceres Taylor can’t cook. She ordered a take out for me and had a simple taste. Then Ceres Taylor said, “Irene, you should take good care of yourself.
“It doesn’t matter. I have had enough rest.”
“By the way, do you know Mr. Campbell?”
I smiled awkwardly and said, “I know.”
“Does he allow you to live here?”
“No.”
Ceres Taylor pursed her lips and said, “Irene, just talk to him”
Seeing that Ceres Taylor still wanted to persuade, I said, “I’ve decided to divorce him. We’re not from the same world. We can’t merge together no matter how long it takes.”
Ceres Taylor was obviously surprised to hear that. “Irene, think it over. I think Mr. Campbell is really good to you. He is always serious in the company. Only in front of you can he be so gentle. You must be very special to him.”
“I used to think so.” Maybe he really loved me, but he got tired of me gradually. I don’t have any special charm. I always feel that being liked by him is a kind of luck, and now this luck is used up.
“Ceres, I’ve made up my mind. Maybe he’s a good man, but I’m not suitable for him. Can you feel that? We re so close, but it seems that there’s an abyss between us.”
“… then what are you going to do in the future? Who will raise the child?”
“I told him that the baby is gone. When the baby is discharged from the hospital, I will take her away and find a job to settle down as soon as possible.”
Hearing Irene’s words, Ceres Taylor felt that it was even more inappropriate. “Irene, it’s not a small matter. You’d better make it clear to Mr. Campbell. Besides, it’s not easy to take care of a child alone. Don’t be impulsive. You candiscuss with Mr. Campbell about the child.”
“I have thought about what I should think, but it seems that I can’t continue to be with him. Don’t tell him about the child. I’m afraid that he will get into trouble.”
“But he is the father of the child.”
My eyes darkened. I understand what Ceres Taylor said. I’ve thought about all the possibilities in my heart. I don’t want my child to grow up in an incomplete family, but I can’t persuade myself to accept him again.
“You have seen the gossip between Kathy Clark and him. Not long ago, Kathy Clark told me that I was pregnant and the baby was his.”
Ceres Taylor’s eyes widened. “Really? Mr. Campbell shouldn’t be that kind of person…”
“There are some things that don’t seem to be true. The relationship between him and Kathy Clark is much more complicated than we have seen.” In the past, I wasn’t afraid of Kathy and Clark’s provocation because I firmly believed that Ryan Campbell loved me. But now, I’m not sure.
I know that this car accident has something to do with Kathy Clark. I chose to leave because I’m really afraid. Kathy Clark is much more ruthless than I thought. If I hadn’t been lucky this time, I and my child would have died.
I’m afraid that my child’s life will be threatened if I stay here. I’m more afraid that Ryan Campbell will side with Kathy Clark. I even thought that it was all planned by Ryan Campbell and Kathy Clark. I don’t want to suspect a person I once loved, so I decided to leave before all the ugliness appeared. At least, the future memory is still beautiful.
After I have a child, I have one more weakness. I don’t want to live a stable life in the future, let alone put the child in such a dangerous environment.
“Irene, I don’t know much about your relationship. I just hope you can think it over. No matter what decision you make, I will support you. It’s late now. Go to bed early. Don’t run around these days. It’s easy to catch a cold.”
I nodded with a smile, “I’ll be careful.”
