Chapter 2309
Zayne took Josie''s hand and pleaded bitterly, "I''ve never disliked Joseph, Jose. I didn''t know how hard it''s been for you. I just hated my ipetence and living inside the Ares household. I couldn''t ept that I was making you and Joseph unable to live with your heads held high. That kind of thinking forced me to desperately want to seed, but I truly have no talent in doing business and I got anxious. I got impatient... I''m so sorry, Jose." Josie looked at Zayne, and she suddenly recalled the scene when her cousins from the second branch family pestered them. At the time, they told her that she was merely the adopted daughter of the Ares family, so why was she getting financial support from the Areses?
She was still a confident woman at that time and did not take these words to heart at all. Unexpectedly, Zayne was the one who was hurt upon listening to them.
Josie felt dismal and dested. She pushed Zayne aside and said, "You wanted your dignity as a man and I had tried fulfilling you. Yet you never thought for a second that when I was busy catering to your low self-esteem and dignity, I was sacrificing my own dignity in return. You cheated on me, Zayne Severe. Although you stated that you didn''t physically do so, the kind you did is much more terrifying than if you
had physically cheated on me. I truly can''t ept a man who has given up on me, especially a man whom I''ve given my entire life to."
Zayne saw the determination in Josie''s expression. He felt an unprecedented fear and panic. He knew that Josie had given up on him and his home was gone.
"If you have to divorce me, I''ll leave this house with nothing. But if raising the child will be too hard on you, why don''t you leave him to me? You cane to see him anytime in the future."
Before Zayne could continue, Josie interrupted him," I''ll never give Joseph to you, Zayne. In this lifetime, the only person I can rely on is him. I''ll live for him."
Zayne replied, "You should be living for yourself, Jose."
Josie was staring at him, seemingly having a realization. She muttered, "Yes. I''ll live for myself because one day, Joseph will leave me too."
Zayne said, "Since you''re reluctant to part with him, I''ll not make things difficult for you. I''ll pay child support and alimony from now on-as much as you want."
Josie smiled at him weakly. "Let''s talk about this when you have the money. Please sign this first."
Zayne felt a stab in his heart from her words. She was right. He did not even have the capability to support his family. What was he going to use to pay for child support?Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.
He secretly vowed in his heart that he would seed in his business no matter what andpensate Josie for all of her hard work.
Josie said her piece and got up to do her own things, no longer batting an eyelid toward Zayne.

Ultimately, perhaps their feelings had faded.
Zayne thought to himself, ''Why else would Josie dump me so readily?''
"Ahh-!"
Josie''s heart-piercing cry suddenly came from behind Zayne.
