“What are you going to do?” Rosalind’s tone was like that of a startled bird.
To her, Ulric’s social status was overwhelmingly higher, creating an unspoken sense of oppression. She felt insecure.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t hurt Ulric at all. It was effortless for him, but if he wanted to harm her, it would be as easy as pie.
Not to mention Ulric, even contending with Sirena was already a struggle for her.
Her reactive response made Ulric’s heart ache a little.
“I will never hurt you, nor your family.”
“… My mom can’t handle emotional upheavals due to her illness. It’s better if you don’t see her,” Rosalind said, not daring to let Ulric meet Mrs. Eva.
That would be the end of her.
“Rosalind, could you…”
Ulric’s words trailed off halfway.
Rosalind waited for a while before saying, “Go on.”
“Could you stop thinking about divorce the moment something happens?”
Ulric’s voice was low, filled with so many emotions that it was hard to pinpoint the main one.
He seemed lost, helpless, somewhat pleading, and a bit unwilling.
“Our marriage was absurd from the start. A branch office assistant and the president of W Group, it sounds like a joke! You’ve seen the aftermath, it has caused numerous troubles for both our lives. I just think… we should return to normal.”
Return to normal?
Ha, could he?
“What if I don’t agree to the divorce?”
“Mr. Walters, your mother is strongly against our relationship. She even ‘lowered herself’ to come to the hospital and threaten my mom! I don’t know what else she might do in the future, but her hatred for me is obvious. There’s no need to go against her wishes.”
“Then who cares about my wishes?”
“?”
Ulric let out a barely audible sigh.
“Terminating the contract involves many things, and calculating the penalty fees will take time. I’ll contact you later.”
With that, he hung up first.
He didn’t want to think about this topic for now, nor did he want to hear the word “divorce” again.
“Ulric!”
Suddenly, Caesar’s voice came from the other end of the hospital corridor.
Ulric turned to look, his lips just about to move when his father slapped him hard.
The sound was crisp and echoed in the empty corridor.
“How far are you willing to go? Would you be happy if your mother died now?!”
Caesar had never laid a finger on his son since he was always obedient and worry-free! Whether it was his schoolwork or his career, he had always been outstanding. But this time!
Just for a woman!
He had already driven his own mother into the emergency room several times!
“Don’t force me to take action against Rosalind. I’m giving you a chance, giving her a chance.”
Caesar had returned home intending to have a good talk with his son. As a man who had been young once, he understood the difficulty of letting go of someone dear. But as soon as he got off the plane, he received news that his wife was critically ill again. He couldn’t control himself!
Ulric pressed his lips tightly together. Despite his father’s rage, he didn’t back down or waver.
“Do you really think I can’t touch Rosalind just because you have W Group now?”
“If you think harming her will solve anything, you’ll regret it.”
Ulric’s words were firm, showing no sign of compromise under threat.
“You, “
