The Dead Fiancé's Return: Too Late, She's His Uncle's Wife Now novel Chapter 15

Chapter 15

I couldn’t help but let out a sneer.

Explain? What else does Calix want to explain?

Over the years, I’ve been living in a loveless marriage.

All of Calix’s love and concern seemed to be given to Kathy and Tyler, even though Tyler wasn’t his biological child.

Kathy was the first love of Calix’s life. However, a few years ago, Kathy married Calix’s former good brother without any warning and gave birth to Tyler.

Before long, Kathy’s husband died unexpectedly. On a stormy night, she knelt at our door, crying and begging Calix to take care of her and her son.

Her behavior touched Calix, and it seemed that Calix could never be tough on her.

After that, Calix took away the little warmth that my Karina and I had and gave it all to Kathy and her

son.

Whenever I protested and told Calix about my grievances, he would always interrupt me impatiently.

“Enough, Anya. You already have me and a wealthy life. Kathy has nothing now. She and Tyler need more care than

you

do.”

Now, I’ve completely given up on Calix.

I said, “Let’s get a divorce, Calix.”

The scene froze every parent in place. Their smartphones hung forgotten in mid–air.

The crowd that had been so sure of everything moments ago now stood in stunned silence.

“Did he just call her… his wife?”

“That can’t be right. There must be some mistake.”

The truth hit those originally high and mighty parents like a physical blow. Horror spread across their faces as they realized what they’d done.

I turned to the officer, my voice arctic. “I need to get my daughter’s injuries treated. But I want everyone involved charged to the fullest extent of the law.”

“We’ll handle it,” he assured me, already directing his team to take the perpetrators into custody.

My lawyer handed me the divorce papers. I looked at these thin sheets of paper and found it rather ridiculous in my heart.

I had spent four years proving to him that I loved him, not the position of Mrs. Quinn and his money.

In the end, I had lost everything!

When it was time to put in the effort, I gave it all.

When it was time to end it, I couldn’t be weak and hesitant!

I threw the divorce agreement at him, “I am serious about the divorce, I don’t want a penny from the Quinn family, I don’t want any of your money!”

After finishing speaking, I only heard a “thud” as the divorce agreement was thrown into the trash can.

“Get the facts straight before you go crazy!” Calix’s patience with me quickly ran out and he began to become very irritable.

“This is all a misunderstanding… I said I could give you an explanation. Now the situation is already chaotic enough. Stop making a fuss.”

I knew that Calix didn’t take my words seriously. Just like the rest of the Quinn family, he thought that I was uneducated, had no family background and no job. If I left him, he was certain that I couldn’t survive.

“Don’t worry, I know very well about my situation.” I picked up the agreement, brushed it lightly, and handed it back to him. “It’s too late now to go through the procedures. Let’s meet tomorrow morning at nine o’clock. I’ll see you there.”

After saying that, I got into the car with Karina in my arms and drove away.

Inside the car, I put down all my disguises, leaned back on the seat and gasped for breath.

Being used to crawling under his feet, such actions required a bit of courage.

Deciding to give up was overwhelming.

Separating from the person I had loved for nearly ten years, resolutely leaving, was painful indeed.

Spending four and a half years proving that a man couldn’t love me, perhaps this was the worst deal I had ever made in my life.

The next day, I arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau on time. I had been waiting for an hour, but still didn’t see Calix.

I could only send him a message, asking him to give this four–year marriage a decent ending.

I don’t know how much time passed before Calix finally showed up late.

He stood in front of the car, his attractive and independent appearance resembling a painting.

Immediately after, bitterness followed.

If I had known it would end up like this, perhaps I wouldn’t have made that risky decision?

I subconsciously touched my left eye, almost no one knew that I had lost the ability to see with my left eye.

Suppressing the complex emotions inside, I quickly approached, handing the divorce agreement back to him.

“I have signed it. You just need to sign, and then we can go through the procedure.”

Calix became rigid for a moment. Then he said nothing more and signed.
