My thoughts returned, and I blinked away the tears.
Looking calmly at Colin, I said “Then why don’t you agree to the divorce? I can hand over the position of Mrs. Nelson to Esme.”
I didn’t know which word triggered Colin’s anger.
He suddenly opened his eyes and said, “What did you say?”
“Gloria Lee, I warn you to behave yourself.”
“Since I have given you a way out, you better take it and not push your luck!”
After saying that, Colin got up and left, just like every time when we had a fight.
He would choose to slam the door and stay away for a few days, ignoring me.
Because I loved him, no matter whose fault it was, I always lowered my head and coaxed him back.
His hand was back on the doorknob.
I spoke indifferently, “By the way, I have a terminal illness. If you don’t want to be widowed, divorce me.”
Upon hearing this, he paused.
With an unhappy expression, he asked, “What nonsense are you talking about?”
He looked at me with a skeptical gaze.
Seeing my strong and healthy appearance, he obviously didn’t believe that I was sick.
I picked up the medical report on the table that he hadn’t noticed.
Colin took the report with suspicion.
“Late-stage breast cancer... How is this possible?”
He couldn’t believe it. He looked at the medical record over and over again.
“It’s impossible...”
He looked serious.
It gave me the illusion of being loved by him deeply.
When he saw the name of the hospital, his frowned brow relaxed as he said, “Gloria, you asked the hospital of the Nelson family to help you fake it? How good you are at winning people’s hearts?”
He threw the medical record at me.
“If you’re going to pretend, at least make yourself look pale.”
“Just as Mom said, you people from these small families always use these lowly tricks.”
He felt he had seen through everything and exuded confidence.
He looked down on me with disdain.
Colin actually said this about me.
Clearly he knew that my family was a abyss.
Sure enough, the person who knew what I cared about the most could hurt me the most with their words.
What was ridiculous was that I had laid everything bare.
I still naively believed in him.
I laughed and coughed, unable to stop.
In the end, he impatiently returned to the study and closed the door with a loud noise.
I stayed where I was, savoring the harsh words.
Colin never believed in me at all.
He only believed in Esme. She could lead him with any excuse she made up.
