Chapter 16 Mockery
Niko’s eyes were filled with a touch of crimson. “Roses don’t like it, jasmines don’t like it. Houses, cars, stocks, anything I have, I can give it to you.”
“I had no other choice,” he almost pleaded.
“No matter how noisy it was, I didn’t want to divorce you.”
I didn’t want to be watched by others on the street, so I directly grabbed his arm and got into the car.
After the car started, that nauseating feeling became even stronger.
My face looked terrible, and Niko asked me with concern, “Is there something wrong? I can help
you ask for leave from the company.”
“No need, Logan has already helped me apply for leave.”
Niko had an unpleasant expression on his face, but he didn’t say anything in the end.
I shook my head and suddenly calmed down. I took a deep breath and calmly said to him, “Niko, you really don’t have to do this. Actually, I don’t blame you. Besides feeling uncomfortable when you saved Madeleine at that time, I have figured out everything that happened afterwards. We are simply not compatible.”
“Although you didn’t make me feel secure, I also lacked confidence, so I was suspicious and did many things that annoyed you. Speaking of it, I am not completely without fault either. To reach this point today, both of us have issues.”
To be honest, I find it a bit funny myself.
Although I didn’t want to see Niko, the former me, even I myself felt bored.
Every day, I clung to Niko
with him being the only thing in my eyes, and my heart and eyes were
filled with nothing but love for him, as if the whole world didn’t matter.
The way I was, indeed lacked charm.
Even I myself didn’t like it, let alone Niko.
“I didn’t dislike it,” Niko said hoarsely, “I did feel impatient, but I never thought about divorcing you. I thought even if we argued and fought, we would still spend our whole lives together.”
“But I didn’t want to live that kind of life anymore.”
I shook my head and said, “Madeleine was just a catalyst between us. The fundamental issue is that we are not from the same world. I cannot trust you, and you cannot unconditionally accommodate
- c. Over time, we will inevitably become exhausted, and new problems will arise.”
“Niko, we were both adults now, don’t be so childish anymore.”

The black Cullinan drove away, and I insisted that Niko not take me back.
standing downstairs, watching his receding figure, I sighed, “If we really had a child…“.
The next morning, I used the pregnancy test kit that I had bought last night.
I heard that morning urine is the most accurate.
Sure enough, just as I had guessed, there were two lines on the pregnancy test.
I took a deep breath, and surprisingly, my emotions weren’t very excited because I had already guessed it, only a faint anticipation.
My relationship with my family was very thin, and I didn’t have a deep connection with my parents.
After their divorce, they both formed their own families.
After meeting Niko, I constantly wanted to have a harmonious and perfect family of three, holding onto him like my lifeline.
The tighter you hold on, the faster it slips away.
I have always wanted to have a child.
So after he said those words, I completely gave up on him.
I thought, it would be good if I could raise this child alone.
Today was my day off, so I went directly to the hospital for a check–up.
The blood test results came out, and it was confirmed that I was indeed pregnant.
And she got pregnant before I lost my memory, fortunately the suicide attempt didn’t harm the
child.
I looked at the prenatal examination report and finally felt a glimmer of hope.
When I was holding the inspection report and getting ready to go home, suddenly on the way, I saw a woman whom I hadn’t seen for a long time.
“Kayley, what do you have in your hands!”
I
Madeleine suddenly appeared, and I was startled. Subconsciously, I put the prenatal examination report into my bag. “What’s it to you? What business is it of yours?”
II was very cautious because the current Madeleine didn’t seem like a normal person.
She looked haggard, with her eyes dull and even without time to change her clothes, as if she had *xperienced some major upheaval.
She saw the avoidance in my eyes and came straight towards me to snatch my bag.
I was afraid of hurting the baby in my stomach, so I didn’t dare to snatch it forcefully. She pulled out the prenatal examination report, and her face changed immediately, even looking a bit crazy.
“You’re pregnant?! How dare you! How dare you that I lost everything, and yet you’re the one who’s pregnant! I am the pride of heaven, I am Niko’s childhood sweetheart, and you, a newcomer, no right to take his wife’s place!”
“Why! Why!”
“What do you want, go directly to Niko, it has nothing to do with me.”
I took a step back and didn’t want to listen to her nonsense.
have
This matter should have been handled by Niko. In the past, I was also foolish, always thinking that
as long as there was me as a woman by his side, he would never be unfaithful.
A man like him could easily have a change of heart.
I didn’t need to spend all my time warning other women, it was simply a waste of energy.
“Are you mocking me?”
“You
Madeleine suddenly burst into laughter and took a step forward, staring at me intensely. know that he completely cut off ties with the Pruitt family, making me a laughingstock in the industry. Now you can’t help me, so are you mocking me?”
