Three years of marriage was like a shackle. Taryn Gould finally broke away from the cage, but she did not expect to be pregnant with triplets. She had no choice but to leave her premature daughter to her ex-husband and take her two sons away. Several years later, she sneaked back to the country and wanted to see her daughter, but her ex-husband discovered her shocking secret! "Taryn, give me an explanation about these two kids?"
Late at night, eleven o'clock.
Passionate sex just ended.
Taryn closed her eyes tightly. On her forehead, there was still a layer of fine sweat. She swallowed and said, "The three-year agreement is over. Let's get a divorce."
On the side of the bed, the man who was about to get up to shower paused and turned to stare at her. "What?"
"I said divorce." Taryn opened her eyes and met his gaze. "You've already taken full control of the Homer Group and inherited everything from the Homer family. Why are you still trapping me?"
"You're quite self-conscious!" Alonzo Homer sneered.
"So? When are we going to the court?"
Alonzo did not speak and just stood up. His perfect figure with wide shoulders and narrow hips was dripping with sweat. His strong body which was filled with male hormones was intoxicating.
Instead of going to the bathroom, he slammed the door heavily.
Taryn held the blanket tightly for a while before she gradually relaxed.
Her mind was still dizzy and she closed her eyes again. The man's handsome and deep eyes floated in her mind and could not be shaken off.
For three years, Taryn was only close to Alonzo when they had sex. At other times, he always turned a blind eye to her.
They used to be childhood sweethearts, but later they became isolated because of a misunderstanding. But they had to share the same bed as husband and wife. No one knew how she had survived over a thousand days!
Now that the time was up and her atonement was over, she had to break out of this cage and start a new life.
...
Three days later, outside the court.
Taryn's thin body looked even weaker as she stood in the cold wind. She waited for a whole day until the court was about to close. Only then did she see the familiar black Bentley come over.
"I thought you were going to stand me up." Seeing the tall and slender man approaching, Taryn pursed her lips and said.
Alonzo pursed his lips and raised his hand. The lawyer standing behind him immediately stepped forward.
"Madam, this is the property that Mr. Homer gave you. You only need to sign here." The lawyer stepped forward and took out the document.
Taryn glanced over. There was a mansion, a luxury car, and some cash.
Quite generous.
"Putting aside the fact that you framed Harper, after all, with your cooperation, I can get everything from the Homer family. Moreover, I slept with you for three years for nothing. This little reward is also something I should do," Alonzo said lightly, but his words were even colder than the cold wind.
Taryn frowned, and her cheeks were slightly red. Regarding that misunderstanding, she no longer had any thoughts of defending herself.
The lawyer at the side cleared his throat awkwardly.
Originally, she didn't want this money. After all, she still had her pride.
But after listening to his mean words, Taryn suddenly changed her mind.
"You're right. I deserve this for serving you for three years. I should get some reward." Taryn grabbed the document and casually flipped through it. "However, this amount of assets is nothing to you, right? I didn't expect that the president of the Homer Group would be so stingy."
After saying that, Taryn put away the document and turned to walk up the stairs. "Hurry up, or they will get off work."
Alonzo pursed his lips and his eyes darkened.
The lawyer looked at Alonzo's face and did not dare to breathe.
They were the last pair to divorce and soon finished the formalities.
Taryn looked at the divorce decree and thought of the past three years. It was like all yesterday.
After walking out of the building, she wanted to say something to conclude their marriage, but Alonzo went straight down the stairs without looking back.
As the luxury car drove off, Taryn saw the woman sitting in the front passenger seat from the lowered window, who was smiling proudly at her.
Rachel Gould.
Rachel waited for three years and she was finally by Alonzo's side.
The phone rang. Taryn came back from her thoughts and looked down. It was a call from the hospital.
She hurriedly picked it up. "Hello, doctor. My grandmother... What? Okay, I'll go to the hospital immediately! Please try your best to save her!"
After hanging up the phone, Taryn went to the side of the road to stop a car and went straight to the hospital.
However, she was too late.
When she rushed to the outside of the operating room, she happened to meet her grandmother, who was pushed out of the operating room with a white cloth.
"Ms. Gould, I'm sorry, we tried our best. She is too old and has many organs failure." The attending doctor lowered his head apologetically and explained.
Taryn did not speak. She only dragged her steps forward in a daze and uncovered the white cloth.
Looking at her grandmother's haggard and frozen face, she felt great grief suddenly.
In this world, her last relative had gone.
"Ms. Gould, please restrain your grief. Ms. Gould? Ms. Gould!" Seeing that Taryn couldn't stand still, the nurse immediately reached out to help her. Before she could say some comforting words, Taryn's vision darkened and she fell down.
When she woke up again, she was lying on the hospital bed.
"You're awake?" The nurse saw her open her eyes. "You're pregnant. Where are your family members? Let them take good care of you."
Pregnant!
Taryn suspected that she had an illusion.
For three years, she had been taking birth control pills. How could she be pregnant?
And it happened on the day she divorced Alonzo!
"Well, could it be mistaken?" Taryn asked with difficulty.
"No, if you don't want to have the baby, then do abortion as early as possible in case of greater harm to your body." Seeing that she did not seem to want the baby, the nurse suggested kindly.
Taryn did not speak. After a long silence, she took out her phone and made a call.
Her mother had passed away long ago, and her father had been bewitched by that woman and didn't care whether she was alive or dead. And her grandmother, who loved her most, had gone today.
She was alone.
However, Taryn did not expect that fate would send her a child at that time.
She thought, keep it. Why not?
...
Eight months later.
A tender and weak cry cut through the silent night.
Taryn had given birth to triplets!
The doctor carried the smallest to the exhausted pregnant woman. "Ms. Gould, this baby is only 2 pounds. Her lungs have not yet fully developed. She must be sent to the thermostat. I'm afraid the medical fee will be a lot."
Multiple births, premature birth, and complications...
The three babies were all her babies. Taryn could not bear to part with any of them. But for the sake of the child, she could only do this.
"Doctor, please, make this call. He can save the child..."
My boyfriend called, "Baby!" as he jumped out of bed and scrambled to pull his pants off the ground. "Please, I can explain my love." Shutting my eyes, I inhaled deeply and tried not to cry when I realized that my dream of the man not being my boyfriend had been dashed. "What?" I asked, "What do you want to explain?" How did you lie about having a business meeting while you were in bed enjoying yourself with my best friend, even though I told you I was in serious pain, is that it?" I stood there, my heart pounding, and tears streaming down my face...
