Lucas breathed a sigh of relief.

Without even glancing at me, he said with a sense of relief,

"That's good. I still have to pick out a thousand princess dresses for the little princess. I can't let her wait impatiently."

"You should take a good rest."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

I suppressed my heartache and spoke in a trembling voice.

"I want to schedule an abortion."

"What?!"

"Ma'am, you are born with a thin uterine wall. If you have an abortion, you may never get pregnant again in this life! Are you really not going to consider it again?"

The nurse asked in surprise.

I curled my knuckles tightly, but couldn't help but ease the force a bit as they landed on my lower abdomen.

"never mind……"

I still can't bear to...abandon such an innocent little life.

Even my dead heart couldn't help but rekindle a glimmer of hope.

I wonder if Lucas would be willing to return to his family for the sake of the child...

I paid the fee and returned home feeling uneasy.

Just as he was about to push the door open to tell Lucas the news, he suddenly froze in place after seeing the scene inside the house!

Lucas was seen hugging Ivy from behind, his usually cool and clear face was now filled with impatience.

"Brother Lucas, you pester me so many times every day, and you don't take any measures..."

"But when you were with Sister Sophie, you always gave her contraception afterwards!"

My breath hitched.

Contraception, how is it possible?

Isn’t Lucas…the one who is looking forward to having children the most?

I widened my eyes, but saw Lucas speak helplessly and lovingly,

"How can they be the same? Sophie is just an ordinary person from a low-income family. How can such a person be qualified to be the mother of a wealthy heir?"

"Even when I was most interested in her, I kept this in mind and kept giving her contraception. But you are different, Ivy. You are well-educated, poised, and intelligent. I am looking forward to you giving birth to a child for me, and making you the heir of The Wentworth Estate!"

As if struck by lightning, all the color drained from my face.

It turns out that in Lucas' heart, he has always disliked me and even felt that I was not worthy of bearing his child!

After crying silently for a long time, I took a deep breath and there was no hesitation in my eyes anymore.

Lucas, I'll do as you wish and abort the baby!

Three hours later, I was lying on the cold operating table, feeling the life in my belly being peeled off...

This feeling is so painful that you wish you were dying.

But I also know that after the pain, what awaits me will be rebirth!

From now on, nothing can hurt me anymore!

……

Three days and three nights passed, I stayed in the hospital and didn't go home, but Lucas didn't even call me.

The first thing I did when I got home was to burn all the items related to the children.

Lucas happened to come back, and seeing the billowing smoke, he frowned and asked,

"Why burn such good things? Aren't they for our future children?"

We won't have children.

I had no expression on my face.

Speak softly,

"There is no future."

Lucas paused.

A trace of panic flashed across his eyes.

He subconsciously grabbed my wrist and pushed me against the wall.

"Sophie, stop talking nonsense!"

"I know you've been wronged recently, but in my heart, you will always be the only Sophie, and that won't change."

"Even if I don't love you, I still have a responsibility to you. I will never give up on you so easily..."

responsibility?

If he was really responsible, why would he abandon his promises to me so many times?

I smiled sarcastically and broke free from Lucas's hand.

Just as he was about to speak, the secretary suddenly came running over in a panic.

"Lucas! Oh no, Miss Young has been kidnapped!"

In an instant, Lucas's expression changed rapidly.

"Who dares to attack Ivy—"

His voice suddenly stopped.

He looked at me meaningfully.

His eyes were full of tentative suspicion and scrutiny.

"Sophie, is it you…"

My heart felt cold.

After ten years of marriage, Lucas still doesn't have even an ounce of trust in me.

"Not me."

Pulling the corner of my lips, I spoke bitterly.

But the next second, Lucas suddenly grabbed my wrist tightly!

His patience was running out, and he said,

"I warned you, Sophie, no matter how much you mess with me, don't hurt Ivy!"

"Ivy is the person I love the most. She is my life. If anything happens to her, I will never let you go!"

I looked at Lucas' fierce expression, my eyes turned red, and finally I burst into laughter crazily.

This is exactly the same sentence, he said it to me back then!

"Lucas, don't you feel guilty? Do you really understand what love is?"

With a "pop" sound, a burning pain came on my face.

I looked up in astonishment, only to see Lucas yelling unhappily as if his patience had run out,

"Is this the end? Sophie, all you do all day is talk about love or not. Even if I really loved you in the beginning, people can change!"

"I no longer have any feelings for you. I only love Ivy!"

"If you don't tell me where Ivy is, we'll get a divorce!"

divorce……?

The sarcasm in my eyes almost overflowed!

Just now, he said that he was responsible for me and would not leave me easily!

"Oh……"

In response to Lucas, I gave him a dead look on my face.

And a very bland sentence——

"Okay, let's get a divorce then."

The room was silent.

Lucas's angry expression froze on his face. Half a minute later, a hint of surprise flashed clearly in his eyes.

In ten years, I have never mentioned divorce to him.

When he cheated on me for the first time, I cried until my tears ran dry and cried hysterically into the ICU, but I never thought of divorcing him.

When he brought a woman home for the first time, when he missed important dates countless times for other people, and even when he demolished Sophie's Spire, I still didn't mention divorce.

Lucas has thought countless times that I can't live without him anymore.

No matter how much he goes to extremes, no matter how much he hurts me, I can only wait for him here.

Therefore, he wanted to scare me and make me tell him Ivy's whereabouts as soon as possible.

But I actually agreed to the divorce?

Sophie, how could you?

How dare you!

"Sophie, do you really think I will indulge you forever? If you don't know how to cherish me, there are countless women out there who would like to take Sophie's place!"

What responded to him was my dead silence and a divorce agreement.

"you……"

Lucas' eyes widened in disbelief, and veins on his arms bulged from using too much force.

So, did I have the idea of divorce a long time ago?

"When did it happen?"

He tore up the divorce agreement.

"Sophie, you have to know when to stop making trouble!"

"If you insist on divorcing me today, I will never let you enter The Wentworth Estate again, even if you kneel down and beg me!"
