Stop It, She’s Remarrying! By Stellar Strands Chapter 42

“Alright. Other than the project, is there anything else that you’re not happy with?”

Fia bit the inside of her mouth again and said, “I want you to remain unmarried for the next three years. Can you do that?”

Conrad was taken aback. “What?”

“The three years that I married to you is also time that I spent. Why should you be free to find your own happiness?”

“That’s not right,” Conrad said instinctively.

“Then forget about it.”

Conrad frowned and said. “Your grandma taught you that?”

Fia moved her eyes away. “No one taught me that.”

“Fia… I can begin a divorce through legal means.”

“Ha!” She let out a stiff smile.

“We have to be separated for half a year, at least, or one of us has to do something that breaks the

marriage.

She then continued with a sneer. “With that yearning of yours, can you even keep your hands to yourself for half a year?”

Conrad felt like he had just been given a slap across the face.

“Oh, right. You can go look for my cousin…” Fia looked at him with force. “But you better be careful. If I manage to gather evidence that you’re cheating and I sue you over that, you’ll have to give me a lot of what you own.”

“You weren’t like this in the past,” Conrad said.

“The same goes for you. Even if it’s a loveless marriage, you would give me some respect at least. But for the past few days…”

Fia couldn’t continue, so all she gave him was her smile.

Conrad then said, “Nothing happened between Esme and I.”

“Is that so?”

“If there’s anything between us, do you think I can still face you like this?”

Fia was silent.

“Fia, I’m no animal,” Conrad said. However, when he realized that the reason she didn’t trust him anymore was because she thought he had slept with Esme, he got stubborn again.

“Is the reason you didn’t let me touch you because you think I’m dirty?”

Fia could feel her head thumping. The reason that she felt disgusted was because he still wanted to do it with her when he was talking about the divorce. It had nothing to do with him being “dirty” or not.

His words made her want to slap herself.

Was what he did not dirty?

But she didn’t want a divorce anymore.

The reason that she didn’t want to divorce was because of something her grandma told her. But after she knew she had a child, she wanted to delay it.

“Esme and I didn’t do what you think we did!” Conrad said again, worried that she wouldn’t believe him. Mrs. Taylor walked in with a sour face at this moment.

“Master Maxwell, someone’s here for you.”

“Tell them to leave!”

He didn’t want to see anyone. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Mrs. Taylor turned around and took a few steps before stopping and turning around again. “It’s Ms. Manning.”

She didn’t want her employer to meet with Esme, but she was worried that Fia would get dragged into trouble again if she didn’t make it clear.

“Who?” Conrad turned and asked.

“Ms. Esme Manning.”

“Hal” Fia blurted out a burst of laughter. “Just in time.”

Conrad frowned and stood up.

Fia then exclaimed. “Look after yourself. Remember that I’m your wife!”

Conrad remained silent as he glanced at her. He then left, the divorce papers on the table.

Outside the mansion, Esme was sitting in a wheelchair and the Manning family’s driver was behind her, pushing the wheelchair.

When she saw Conrad, she appeared like a scared kitten opening its arms when it saw its master.

“Conrad, I missed you! I didn’t sleep well last night, so I came over to see you.”

Conrad walked over and patted her head.

“You could have called me.”
