Jake Rivers kicked Emily Thompson to the ground, his sharp eyes narrowed, his voice cold and deep, "Emily Thompson, I ask you one last time, will you divorce or not?"
"Jake Rivers, are you really so ruthless? You can hurt me, but do you not want your own child either?" Emily Thompson struggled to get up from the ground.
She tightly clutched Jake Rivers hand, her voice full of sorrow and begging: "Can we wait until the child is born? He cant grow up without a good living environment, I beg you... please dont divorce now..." Emily Thompsons abdomen ached terribly, sweat pouring down like rain.
Jake Rivers clenched his back teeth, broke free from being held, grabbed the back of Emily Thompsons neck, and forcefully pulled her back.
"Emily Thompson, dont forget, the reason I married you is because you saved my grandfather. If it werent for Grandpa, do you think I would marry a woman as sinister and vicious as you? Hum!"
Jake Rivers snorted coldly, his lips curling in disdain: "The marriage must end! The child must be aborted! I will never allow my own child to have your filthy blood in their veins, never."
Jake Rivers stared fiercely at Emily Thompson, his anger seeming to burn her to ashes.
Three years of marriage, except for spending three nights a week at home and occasionally fulfilling the "duties" of a couple, most of the time he resisted returning to this home.
He hated Emily Thompson.
He hated how she restricted his freedom, hated how she made him unable to love and be loved.
"Jake Rivers, Ill ask you one question, have you ever loved me? Even for a moment..." Emily Thompson asked him humbly, her face covered with enduring pain.
Emily Thompson stared at Jake Rivers without blinking, the expectation in her eyes unable to be completely concealed.
A flash of disgust in his eyes, he slowly uttered four cold words:
"Never. The person I have always loved is only Lily Adams."
Hearing Jake Rivers answer, Emily Thompson was surprisingly calm, lowered her head and chuckled.
She laughed at her youthful ignorance, laughed at her own foolish love, laughed at her own self-delusion.
After a while, Emily Thompson raised her head and smiled brightly at Jake Rivers.
Ignoring the pain, she tried her best to stabilize her body.
"Alright, Jake Rivers! Ill divorce you, but you have to hug me, just one last time, and then Ill sign."
Jake Rivers eyes were as dark as night, his thin lips curling into a mocking smile: "Emily Thompson, youre really cheap."
For a moment, Emily Thompsons tears fell like rain. She couldnt tell whether it was endless heartache or the tearing pain of her body.
5 years of secret love, 3 years of marriage... a total of 8 years of time failed to warm the heart of the person in front of her.
Emily Thompson looked at Jake Rivers, her eyes full of tears like broken pearls.
The falling pain in her abdomen made her sweat all over, and when she felt a gush of heat, she suddenly panicked.
The child... her child!
"Save me... save the child in my belly..." Emily Thompson knelt on the ground, clutching her stomach in pain, desperately pleading.
The blood under Emily Thompson had already formed a sea of red, spreading more and more around, the pain in her abdomen torturing her whole body to convulse.
Emily Thompson wanted to reach out and grab Jake Rivers pant leg, but he dodged to the side with a look of disgust.
Emily Thompsons heart suddenly went empty, "I beg you to save him, save my... no, save your child..."
She was afraid that because of herself, Jake Rivers would refuse to save this poor child.
Jake Rivers was unmoved, just standing over her, looking down coldly, "As long as you sign, Ill call for help."
Emily Thompsons eyes turned red instantly, she stared at the indifferent Jake Rivers, never feeling so desperate.
Jake Rivers sneered, "When you sign, Ill call for help, its up to you."
"... Okay, Ill sign..." In despair, she heard her own hoarse voice that was almost inaudible.
Emily Thompson took the divorce agreement handed to her with the remaining strength and signed "Emily Thompson" with all her might.
Blood dyed half of the paper red.
As soon as she finished signing, Jake Rivers snatched the divorce agreement from Emily Thompsons hand.
He immediately called for an ambulance.
He squatted down, grabbed the womans chin with one hand, forcing her to look at him, his smile cold and cruel.
He said in a cold voice: "Emily Thompson, this is all your own doing! I made the call, whether you can wait for the rescuers to come or not, it has nothing to do with me!"
After saying that, he left without looking back, his bloody footprints extending all the way outside.
Emily Thompsons eyes turned red with anger, the nightmare-like words filled her ears.
Those footprints seemed to be stepping on her heart, crushing her broken heart into ashes.
"Jake Rivers, you devil, I hate you——"
In despair, Emily Thompson shouted at the back of Jake Rivers and then fainted.
Jake Rivers, a contract is made, never see each other again!
