I'd been worried about Maria during the years I'd been with her.

She was a typical career-oriented woman. After she gave birth to Stella, she worked even harder. She fainted at her workplace several times and I had to go to pick her up.

Her body, which already needed rest, was even more depleted due to this. To replenish her body, I tried all kinds of ways.

She had no time to exercise, so I gave her a full body massage every night before going to bed and helped her exercise her muscles manually.

In addition to working and taking care of her, I also had to take care of Stella all the time. I spent money to hire a nanny, but I was not very reassured, so I often took care of Stella myself.

At the same time, I had to take care of my diet and daily routine, take good care of my body, and try not to fall ill during this period.

I would not let her or Stella endure any hardship.

I could sense her every little emotion immediately.

During those three years, she expressed her love to me countless times, so sincerely that I thought she loved me.

Logan's provocation made me angry, and no man could tolerate it.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you challenge me?"

Stella's death made me lose my control. I couldn't bear it anymore and rushed over to beat him up.

Unexpectedly, I was stopped by Maria.

"Lucas, stop being unreasonable! Thirty thousand dollars is nothing to you. Why are you so mean?"

She was the person I had loved for three years.

"What does our child, Stella, mean to you? She's already dead, but you, her biological mother, were absent from her funeral. And now you're still taking care of Logan. It's ridiculous!"

"Maria!" I yelled, throwing out the divorce agreement I had been carrying with me. "Let's get a divorce, then you can accompany Logan!"

"Stella is dead?"

When Maria heard this, she was stunned and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"How is this possible? I remember she was very well-behaved and said that the teacher at the kindergarten praised her a few days ago when I saw her..."

I smiled bitterly, it turned out that she hadn't noticed this matter at all.

I threw the divorce agreement in front of her.

"It doesn't matter. You have never been a competent wife and mother. Just sign it. Even if it goes to court, a heartless and ungrateful mother like you won't have any advantage!"

She looked at me in shock, mumbling to herself.

"No way. It's impossible. How could Stella die? You must be lying to me!"

How could someone so cruel as to take care of a stranger during her child's funeral be qualified to be called a mother?

The divorce process took a long time, and there was a three-month cooling-off period after filing for divorce.

During this period, in addition to preparing divorce documents, I also had to prepare for property division.

But I didn't expect that Maria's parents would find me at my company.

"Mr. Morgan, someone is looking for you outside."

As soon as I stepped out of the office, I was slapped in the face.

"You ungrateful bastard! Why? Maria has been with you for three years, and in the end, you asked her to divorce without giving her anything. Are you still a man?"

My mother-in-law Sofia rushed up to me with red eyes and hit me, everyone in the company was watching us for fun.

"We are all very sad that Stella is dead!"

"You are just incompetent! You couldn't even look after your child that night! How dare you say that you were working overtime that day? You might as well die instead of hindering my daughter from finding a better man!"

My father-in-law Kevin also swore at me.

"You even asked Maria to sign an agreement to divorce with nothing. You're so ruthless!

"She has been living a tough life with you for three years and even gave birth to your child. She has suffered so much, but now she gets nothing. I will fight for her rights at the cost of my life..."

I had never treated my parents-in-law badly since I got married.

I treated them nicely in every festival and even made Stella bear their surname.

After all, I loved Maria.

But there wasn't a single word of truth coming out of her mouth.

If they knew that Maria was still hooking up with Logan, and was probably still staying with him now, would they still come to me to ask for property division?

They wouldn't.

They would only blame me for not keeping an eye on my wife.

Greedy people sought wealth without any reason, they just wanted money.

"Don't worry, the divorce application has been submitted.

"You can fight for Maria's due rights. We just need to wait for the result of the trial."

After Stella's death, I had become hard-hearted and didn't want to talk about any reason or feelings.

It all depended on how the professional team of lawyers I hired could help me solve it.

Kevin was stunned, but soon recovered his expression and said, "Humph, let's see how long you can keep being stubborn!

"Don't come crying and beg us to allow Maria to get back to you then."

Sofia added, "That's right. You must be sincere when you ask Maria back. You liked Maria so much back then, but now you want a divorce. Don't come to our house and beg for her forgiveness... However, if you pay us money and kowtow to beg us, we can still consider it."

Their nonsense was laughable.

"I finally know that you are heartless and profit-driven. Now, I finally know I had been so humble. From now on, our two families are even."

"What do you mean? You'll never be able to repay our daughter for what you owe her in your entire life!"

I just ignored them and walked away from them.

When I was having dinner that night, my cell phone started ringing wildly.

After hanging up for the last time, the door was finally opened.

"Lucas, come out! How dare you talk shit about me in front of my parents? They are old and can't stand the stimulation, don't you know?"

Maria came to me in a rage to question me.

Maria was no longer attractive to me.

The love that made me have no regrets was gradually slipping away from her.

She changed.

"Maria, do you still remember your speech at the graduation ceremony?

"You said you would not forget your original intention and live towards the sun.

"From today on, the Maria I knew has died along with our baby.

"And you should stay away from me."

I pushed aside her body that was blocking me, just like pushing aside the curtain that was blocking the turning point of my life.

She finally looked panicked as she realized that I was serious this time and she couldn't hold me anymore.

But she would not give in easily, and her attitude of retaining me was still so arrogant.

"If you forgive me now, this matter will be over. I'll go and comfort my parents.

"I don't believe you can stop loving me so easily.

"You said you could die for me."

I turned around and stared at her, making her feel creepy.

"What? Do you also want to kill me after you killed Stella?"

"What bullshit are you talking about?"

Ignoring her screams, I opened my palms towards her.

"Give me back the key."

"I won't!" She put her hands behind her back, her eyes showing a stubborn determination to not give in. "You lied to me by saying that you would love me forever, now you're breaking your promise just because of a child.

"You're not a man!"

I slapped her.

I couldn't stand it anymore.

"I never hit a woman. You're the first one.

"I slap you for Stella. What exactly is she in your eyes? A life was lost but look at your attitude. Get out of here now!"

"Get as far away as you can and don't force me to tell others everything you did!"

My force was a bit too great, so she fell directly onto the shoe cabinet due to inertia.

You hit me? Lucas, how dare you hit me?"

"Tell me what I did! If you can't tell me, then apologize!"

She grabbed my clothes and hit me like crazy.

"Our house is under surveillance, have you forgotten?"

All the madness stopped at this moment.

"I installed it for our children.

"And I haven't used the bank card in the bedroom for a long time, but the money in it is gone. I don't mind going to the bank with you now.

"Or the police?"

Her face turned completely pale at this moment, she collapsed to the ground and sobbed.

She cried and told me how my money was transferred out, where it went, and how she helped Logan pay his debts.

Only then did I realize that after Logan returned, the company he founded had been forcibly executed and not a penny was left in his account.

To help Logan, Maria did not hesitate to transfer my money.

Not only did she want to pay for Logan's medical expenses and surgery, but she also wanted to make up for his company's losses.

Maria and her family had no money at all but relied on me to support them.

Her parents probably knew that we were getting a divorce and wanted to help Maria get a share of the property, so they came to my company to cause trouble.

"Lucas, don't you want a divorce?

"I will never divorce you even if I die!"
