Felix's expression shifted, but soon returned to normal.
He impatiently pinched the bridge of his nose and let out a soft sigh.
"Sash, don't threaten me with divorce."
"You're already eight months pregnant. Are you really going to let your stubbornness bring the child into a broken home?"
"Today was my fault. I shouldn't have come to see Yvonne. I promise you, I won't do it again."
Nearby, Yvonne heard his words. Tears streamed silently down her face as she gave him a pitiful look.
Felix seemed unable to bear it. He avoided her gaze and stepped forward to take Sasha's hand.
"Let's go home, okay?"
The baby was almost due. He didn't believe for a second that Sasha would actually go through with a divorce.
Sasha opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but then felt a kick from the baby in her belly.
Her face paled slightly, afraid something might happen to the child.
In the end, she only shot Yvonne a cold glance before turning and walking away.
Felix hurried after her and tried to take her hand, but Sasha avoided him with a blank expression.
Felix sighed and didn't try to coax her anymore. He got into the car with her.
But just before starting the engine, he carefully and reluctantly glanced back in Yvonne's direction.
That look, full of guilt and tenderness, pierced Sasha's heart like a needle.
Three years ago, Felix had actually brought up divorce with her.
The first time she caught Felix and Yvonne in bed together, she grabbed a lamp and smashed Yvonne's head open, sending her to the hospital. She also broke three of Felix's ribs.
After more than a decade together, how could she accept that her lover had fallen for another woman during her pregnancy and jumped into bed with her within just seven days?
She acted like a madwoman, wailing and screaming every day, cursing them with the vilest words she could think of.
But no matter what she did, she couldn't stop Felix from slowly drifting toward Yvonne.
So when he offered to leave with nothing—just to get a divorce, she signed the papers with a dead heart.
But before she could hand him the divorce agreement,
Yvonne made a surgical mistake that caused a patient to die on the operating table.
When the patient's family came to the hospital to cause trouble,
Yvonne, trying to save herself, pushed the pregnant Sasha forward to take the blow.
After being stabbed, Sasha was pushed off the fifth floor by the enraged family members.
She lost the baby on the spot. She was in emergency surgery for over ten hours and spent six months in bed before recovering.
Consumed by guilt, Felix cut off all contact with Yvonne and came back to Sasha.
Yvonne's affair was exposed in a huge scandal. She lost her job and left town in disgrace.
Three years passed in the blink of an eye.
Yet after just one look at their reunion, he walked toward Yvonne again.
From his affair to their breakup, he had been with Yvonne for barely a month. Was that truly harder to forget than the nearly two decades they had shared?
Sasha felt exhausted. So exhausted that she couldn't even muster the strength to reach out for him anymore.
This time, she didn't want him.
Sasha took out her phone and sent a message to her lawyer.
"Lawyer Taylor, come to my house."
When she got home, Sasha ignored Felix, who looked like he wanted to say something.
She went straight upstairs, opened the safe, and took out the divorce agreement from three years ago.
Her fingers traced over their signatures. She remembered the coldness in Felix's eyes when he had handed her that agreement.
There had been a flicker of guilt, but also a firm resolve to run toward a future without her.
He had said:
"Sash, I've fallen in love with Yvonne. I don't want the house, the savings, the stocks, or anything. Just let me go."
Sasha's grip on the divorce agreement tightened. Even after three years, her heart still ached dully.
Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind and snatched the paper away.
Felix wrapped his arms around her and asked affectionately:
"What are you looking at?"
