Chapter 4

Everyone froze.

I placed the signed divorce agreement on the table.

“Let’s get the divorce done first.”

Conrad’s gaze fell on my signature. He did not move.

Only after a long while did he look up at me.

“What’s the rush? Didn’t I say we’d wait until Sherry’s pregnancy was more stable?”

I sneered.

“You don’t want to wait until I change my mind and tear up the agreement again, do you?”

The atmosphere stiffened for several seconds.

Then Sherry came downstairs.

“Cecilia, please don’t be anxious. I just don’t want my child to be called illegitimate after he’s born. You don’t have to pressure Conrad like this.”

As she spoke, her eyes reddened.

Conrad looked at her pitiful face and suddenly laughed.

“Cecilia, you think I don’t dare sign?”

He picked up the pen from the table and signed his name quickly.

Afterward, he threw the pen down hard.

“Don’t worry. Once Sherry gives birth, we’ll remarry.”

He stood and leaned close to my ear.

“You’re the woman I stole back from hell. Out of all those things outside, which one could ever compare to you?”

“This child will be raised by you later. Only you are qualified to raise him. Understand?”

I said nothing. I dragged out the suitcase I had already packed and left.

Behind me, Sherry’s soft voice drifted over.

“Conrad, she… won’t really refuse to come back, will she?”

Conrad glanced at Sherry.

“Now that Cecilia’s gone, you must be secretly delighted.”

“Of course not!” Sherry pouted. “My upbringing would never allow me to destroy someone else’s marriage…”

As she spoke, she lowered her head and touched her belly.

“Everything is for the child.”

That wronged little expression instantly dissolved Conrad’s temper.

“All right, don’t cry. I was only teasing you.”

I took a deep breath and quickly left with my suitcase.
