Chapter 352 - 353: Has He Ever Loved Her?
“Are you treating Xiao Yue fairly?” Ling Fangzhou sternly questioned, thinking of Lingyue’s medical report showing severe malnutrition, he was shaking with anger.
He took out his phone and dialed Xie Yanbo’s number, Xie Wennan’s father, “Dad, this is Fangzhou, I am going to divorce Xie Wennan. If you’re free, please come over!”
On the other end of the phone, Xie Yanbo was startled, “Fangzhou, what happened? Are you home? Did you fight with Nannan? Even if you did, you shouldn’t casually mention the word ‘divorce.’ It’s too hurtful. Are Chenglin and Chenglu there? You must not fight in front of the children. What if it scares them?”
“Dad, just come!” Ling Fangzhou abruptly hung up the phone.
Xie Yanbo lived nearby, only ten minutes away.
Today, he was going to make everything clear to Xie Yanbo.
When Xie Wennan saw Ling Fangzhou was serious about divorcing her, panic succeeded her initial shock and anger.
No.
She couldn’t get a divorce.
She loved Ling Fangzhou.
Ever since she understood what love was, she had been in love with Ling Fangzhou, and it had never changed until now.
She couldn’t lose Ling Fangzhou.
She absolutely couldn’t!
Besides, she had given the best years of her life to Ling Fangzhou and their two children in the seven years they had been married.
Now, her youth was gone, if she divorced Ling Fangzhou, what would she do for the rest of her life?
As for Ling Fangzhou, time seemed to have left no traces on him. Instead, it lent him an even more steady and elegant air, making him like a fine wine, better with age and increasingly attractive.
Moreover, Ling Fangzhou was so young and had become the Deputy Director of the National Institute of Sciences. His future was limitless.
Being Ling Fangzhou’s wife and bearing his high social status, she would attract envious glances from others wherever she went.
She would never let go of such a good man, even if it took her life!
She adjusted her emotions and put on the most gentle and pitiful appearance, held Ling Fangzhou’s wrist, and said softly, “Shixiong, don’t be angry. Everything in the past was my fault. I failed to take care of Xiao Yue. I know my mistakes. Tomorrow, I will go with you to fetch Xiao Yue and truly take care of her this time. Shixiong, can you please give me another chance?”
Ling Fangzhou looked at her indifferently without saying a word.
He no longer trusted her.
In his heart, she had completely lost her credibility.
Seeing Ling Fangzhou’s indifference, Xie Wennan was terribly upset. Her tears fell down like rain, she begged desperately, “Shixiong, please don’t look at me like that, I’m afraid! I know I was wrong, I will change. I really will! Shixiong, please believe me, I didn’t intentionally treat Xiao Yue badly; I just didn’t know how to make him accept me as a good stepmother. Xiao Yue knew I wasn’t his biological mother, he resisted me; he was defiant about everything and wouldn’t obey me. I really don’t know what to do…”
“That’s why I said we should divorce!” Ling Fangzhou interrupted her, looking at her coldly. “Before we got married, you promised that you would treat Xiao Yue as your own, and take care of him. I agreed to marry you based on that. Now that you can’t do it, we should divorce! After we divorce, I’ll take care of Xiao Yue myself. My son is so young and has already lost his biological mother. He is too pitiful; I cannot let him suffer any more.”
The word “divorce” spoken from Ling Fangzhou’s mouth was sharp as a sword, piercing through Xie Wennan’s heart.
The man she loved most.
The only man she ever deeply loved.
And he just casually said “divorce” to her.
Did he ever love her?
