Chapter 196


    Blinded by anger, Frederick bbered without thinking it through but as he looked at her, a


    thousand voices were pleading in his heart.


    Refuse, please refuse it!


    They looked at each other as anger shed across Alicia''s eyes, her fists clenched. She could not


    believe it. They had not separated yet but he was already saying things like this?


    He just said that she was his wife as long as he did not sign the papers. However, he actually asked


    this of her?


    What a disgusting man!


    Her heart was in pieces but the pain and anger faded instantly. They were reced by sadness and


    hopelessness.


    A life as husband and wife meant endless devotion! There was a time when they embraced each


    other passionately but at present...


    How cold-blooded he was!


    The rumors were true. He was a ruthless lunatic, falling out in an instance! She regretted that she


    had treated him so wholeheartedly in the past!


    She was feeling sad when she signed the divorce agreement but at this instant, she could not wait


    to get away!


    Did he ask her to entertain a client? Was he giving her away to someone else?


    She was a human being, not an object!


    He showed her once again how ruthless and shameless a man could treat a woman.


    The light in her eyes faded and she lost all reluctance to stay. She even felt that it was a waste for


    her to be angered over such a man. ncing at the check on the table, her voice was cold without


    emotion. She raised her hand and took it.


    "I''ll do it! Would you sign the divorce papers immediately?"


    In that instance, Frederick''s face fell, his fists clenching tightly as he held her waist. Divorce! She


    wanted to divorce! He really wished to strangle her alive!


    Shaking from his anger, he pushed her away. "You''ll have to wait!"


    With that, he strode to the door.


    The next second came the m of the door.


    The floorboard shook beneath her feet and she shuddered. "One million dors is a lot indeed!"


    She really wanted to tear the check apart. Despite that, she slowly ced it in her bag without


    words, despondency on her face. Her dignity meant nothing. All she needed was money now!


    Frederick''s face was icy cold as he stepped hard on the gas pedal. "She agreed to it! That stupid


    woman!"


    All she had to do was refuse and he would dly give her the money anyway! But, she actually


    agreed to it?


    Did she not have her principles? Her limits? She agreed to entertain a client? Did she know what it


    meant?


    D*mn it, was there something wrong with her brain?


    Was she willing to do anything for the sake of money?


    His thoughts were a mess the whole day. Nothing had seemed to go ording to his n. Stopping


    the car at the beach, he took out a box of cigarettes feeling frustrated.


    She signed the papers without any hesitation and had the mood to sell those kinds of products for


    extra money. She even agreed to his ridiculous offer. Every action was a big No in his heart. All this


    was nothing, he thought. Who said that he could not go on without her?


    He unerringly believed that if he signed the papers, that woman would run into another man''s arms


    immediately. She would no longer belong to him!


    The sudden realization made his thoughts churn and he unknowingly put out the cigarette in his


    hand.

    It was clear that Danica was the one who cared about him; she would use her life to protect him.


    Since they were young, she was the only one who had showed up, took care of him, and cheered


    him up when he was cold and lonely.


    Wasn''t this his dream to marry a virtuous woman who had loved him more?


    Why did he mess up? Why did he change his mind at thest minute after working so hard toe


    to a decision?


    That''s right! He had gone back on his word!


    For the rest of the day, all Frederick could think of was this strong desire yelling in his head, "I don''t


    want to let her go. I don''t want to give her away! She''s mine!"


    He thought he was lost because he was not clear in the head. He stood at the beach the whole day,


    letting the cold wind blow on his face till midnight. After he had calmed down, there was only one,


    unchanging thought in his mind.


    When he returned to his car, he realized clearly that all his rationales could never win over his heart.


    What he wanted was... Alicia!


    He had never been so sure and certain before. Even Danica was no longer important, what more


    could he say? The image of her entering the house, kicking her shoes off in a daze, and frantically


    wearing them again appeared in his head. She was adorable. He could not help but let out a soft


    chuckle.


    "Gee..."


    He was astonished at himself. Happiness was so simple and easy all this time!


    As long as he could see her, he was happy no matter what she was doing!


    But, the next second, a word came to his mind — divorce!


    Annoyed, Frederick frowned, deep in his thoughts. That woman ddin''t know what''s good for her! So


    many women would die to have rtions with him and she wasn''t in the least bit hesitant to part


    with him?


    Up until this instant, there was nothing he wanted that he could not have! Moreover, she already


    belonged to him!


    All of a sudden, he missed the time when they first met. Frederick noticed that he had never


    forgotten even the tiniest detail of their moments together.


    Once he was sure of his feelings, he felt more rxed and relieved.


    Six years had changed many things and even though he did not want to admit them, he could not


    deny the truth!


    However, this woman was too out of hand. She was so bold that there was nothing she would not


    dare to do. She danced in a nightclub, sold condoms on the street, and wanted to entertain clients...


    He felt as if she should be taught a lesson. He closed his eyes and patted his drowsy head.


    How frustrating, he had to find her a client! He needed help from Trevor, he could look for a


    professional actor! She really knew how to create trouble. Why in the world did she agree to it?


    After receiving one million dors, Alicia''s family''s burden was gone. With the money, she could pay


    for one year of her father''s medical expenses. Their financial situation could turn over in the year


    and her father''s condition could also change for the better. She should be happy but she could not


    smile.


    That night, she packed all her belongings until midnight and was unable to sleep until the next


    morning. She felt like crying but no tears would fall. She had a trantion job the next day, therefore


    she woke up early and started tidying herself.


    She did not rest for the whole night, causing her face to be pale and puffy. She did a ten-minute


    intense workout before making a cup of coffee. She then took a bath, made herself presentable,


    and put on a bright shade of red lipstick before grabbing her earrings habitually. When she took out


    the piece of essory, her hands stopped.


    Her gaze went from the sparkle in the mirror to her hand. She felt her heart clench. The uneven


    butterfly earrings?


    She loved the pair of earrings very much. There was a time when she almost threw it away because


    of a misunderstanding!


    Because they were a gift from him; because there was a story behind it; because every time she


    looked at them, she felt the happiness of being pampered.


    She felt pangs of pain in her heart. They were the earrings that she had never taken off no matter


    how much they quarreled or ignored each other. But this time, Alicia put them back after caressing


    them.
