Everyone burst out laughing, swearing to keep it secret.
I lay on the stretcher, unable to shed another tear.
Theo Pembroke didn't know-
When I woke up in the hospital, there was a bouquet of flower on the table.
In the past, when I was sick, Theo Pembroke wouldn't even show his face,only sending his assistant over with piles of supplements.
Seeing my indifferent expression,he got me some water.
"Happy to see I'm not dead?"
I turned my head and caught a glimpse of the faint kiss mark on his neck,my voice was calm.
"Theo Pembroke, let's get a divorce."
His hand paused slightly.
Then, right in front of me, he made a phone call.
Soon, the assistant brought over Theobe.
It had been months since I last saw him,and he'd grown taller.
But he was still distant from me.
I gave birth to Theobe,but right after the breastfeeding period,he was taken away by the Theo's dad.
I only got to see him during holidays.
I knew exactly why Theo Pembroke brought him to me.
Back when he partied too much outside,and I was mad and ignored him,he'd always send our son to keep me company.
I've lost count of how many times this trick has been repeated.
But now, this trump card no longer works on me.
Seeing Theobe, chubbier than before, I didn't smile.
He frowned in displeasure,a mini version of Theo,even the way he said my name had Theo's accent.
"Esme Fairchild, you're still so stiff and boring.Dad, I don't want to stay here.
I want to go back and play Golluck with Lydia."
Lydia?
No wonder he never calls me "Mom."
Turns out, he's long since accepted someone else as his mother.
Theo's eyes turned cold.
Theobe immediately shut up and climbed into my arms.
"Daddy scolded me!"
In the past, I would always protect Theobe,but this time, I pushed him away.
"Go complain to your Lydia."
Two nearly identical faces froze.
I continued,"Theo Pembroke, I'm serious about the divorce.I'm not joking."
A flicker of anger passed through his eyes,but was quickly replaced by a mocking smile.
"Esme Fairchild, playing hard to get can backfire.If you really piss me off,don't expect to see your son again."
No wonder he didn't react when I first mentioned divorce-he thought I was retreating in order to advance.
I remembered last year,when he played around with a young starlet so muchthat she was hospitalized for ruptured ovaries and internal bleeding-it even trended on the hot search.
I tried to divorce him.
He locked me in a room and wouldn't let me see Theobe for half a year.
That's when I finally learned my lesson.
That was also when I realized-I couldn't love him anymore.
"Theo Pembroke, I'll be moving out of the Pembroke family after I'm discharged."
