Keira looked at the freshly issued divorce certificate in
her hands, feeling that her patience over the past month had not been in vain!
The house remained hers, and Amy was hers too…
If her sister were still alive, she would have surely been overjoyed at this mont.
Thinking of this, Keira’s eyes began to tear up…
Howard saw her like this and suddenly felt a bit reluctant to let go.
After all, with their college romance and her face that evoked such sympathy, it was really hard to let
her g now that she was no longer his wife.
He looked at her and couldn’t help but say, “Don’t cr I’ll visit you and the child…”
However, his words displeased Cindy, who imdiately tugged at his arm and scolded Keira. “Keera,
who are you trying to seduce with that act? Stay away from Howard after the divorce! Do you hear
?!”
Howard frowned, wanting to say sothing, but Cindy glared at him. “What? Can’t bear to leave her?
Want to go pay off debts with her?”
Howard imdiately shut his mouth.
Cindy then pointed at Keira and said, “Scram, don’t be an eyesore here. It’s all because of you that
you’ve spoiled the perfect ti for and Howard to get our marriage certificate!”
Keira knew she couldn’t get physical, as it would not fit
Keera’s character.
But that didn’t an she couldn’t take revenge.
She imdiately stepped back and abruptly raised her voice. “Howard, are you planning to do divorced
marriage all in one go today?!”
Sure enough, her words drew the attention of around them, and everyone started to look over
They saw Keira and Howard each holding a divor certificate, and then noticed Cindy standing beside
Howard. With a bit of deduction, they understood
their situation.
Soone imdiately comnted, “What’s going on
O
J
here? Is sobody really that shaless? He’s just divorced and already getting married?”
“That woman must be the mistress who broke them up. Look at how pitifully the ex-wife has been
forced
into this situation. It’s so sad!”
“How can soone who’s clearly the mistress still act so arrogant? What are you showing off for?”
Everyone here had co to get divorced.
There were all kinds of reasons for divorce, including infidelity, so there were always people who
loathed mistresses. One auntie even rushed up and spat viciously at Cindy. “I despise mistresses like
you the most. Proud of stealing soone’s husband, are you How can you have the face to scold the
rightful wife
After finishing her tirade, she grabbed Keira’s arm. “Girl, don’t be scared! Join and curse the
scumbag
man and shaless woman!”
Cindy felt sothing sticky and disgusting on her,
which made her want to vomit. She cried out in alarm.
“You crazy woman!”
A
The auntie, who was divorcing because her husband had an affair with a mistress, was infuriated by
the insult. She rushed over to Cindy, grabbed her hair, and demanded, “You mistress, who are you
swearing at?”
Cindy shrieked, “Let go of ! You crazy woman, I’ll call the police right now!”
“Call the police? Then do it!”
The relatives who accompanied the auntie weren’t easy to deal with either. They imdiately raised
their phones to take a video, “If you call the police, I’ll post this on the internet for the public to judge.
We’ve seen mistresses, but never one this brazen. Forcing soone’s rightful wife to divorce is one
thing, but to get married on the sa day? Have you no sha
Cindy suddenly deflated.
The auntie dragged Cindy to Keira’s side. “Apologi this young lady!”
Enraged, Cindy clenched her fists, turning back to lo
at Howard.
Unable to contain himself, Howard pointed at Keira and accused her. “Keera, what is this supposed to
mann? If you didn’t want to divorno inat aor it Wher
have all these people co to make a scene? Are they here because you paid them?”
Before he could finish, the auntie’s slap was already flying toward him. “You’re the adulterer, and you
still have the face? You were spared a beating just now, but you had to ask for it!”
Howard imdiately had his face scratched and was so frightened that he ran out of the courthouse,
clutching his head as he scampered away.
Cindy stamped her foot in anger. “Howard, co back! We haven’t got our marriage certificate yet!”
Howard disdainfully dismissed the idea. “Why bother now? Let’s talk about it so other day!”
Cindy was so angry she ground her teeth.
She took a deep breath and straightened her disheveled hair before glaring hatefully at Keira. “Wh
does Howard’s divorce have to do with ? It’s her
own fault for having a bad relationship with her husband and not getting along with her mother-in-law.
Her mother-in-law is hell-bent on making her get a divorce! She really likes !”
The older lady didn’t dare to be too heavy-handed for
fear of actually stirring up legal trouble; hearing this, she imdiately looked toward Keira. “Girl, your
mother-in-law really is sothing else. How could she encourage her son to get a divorce?”
Keira said, “Thank you.”
She then turned to look at Cindy, a smile curling up her lips. “Since Howard’s mother likes you so
much, I wish your whole family a happy life. You and Howard must hang in there.”
Howard’s mother had been completely spoiled by Keira within just one month.
With such an obedient forr daughter-in-law like her as the perfect example, would she co to like
Cindy?
The days to co were bound to be filled with ch
Having left these words behind, she turned and wa away with large strides.
When usually posing as Keera, she would keep her head slightly lowered, but now she lifted her chin,
walking with the feeling of embarking on a new life.
Keira took a taxi back to the South family ho.
On the way, gazing at the city scenery retreating around her, her thoughts began to drift.
What was Lewis doing now?
Was he in the hospital accompanying his lifesaver?
She let out a bitter smile.
Since childhood, she had always been on her own without a single relative by her side… Finally, she
had
Lewis and a mother…
But Jodie South had been taken away.
As for Lewis… he was no longer hers.
On the road ahead, she was alone once again…
The taxi quickly arrived at the South residence.
Just as Keira entered the house, she saw the hired nanny tidying up the yard outside, while the sound
o Amy ca from inside the house.
Keira paused, puzzled, “Do we have a guest?”
The nanny nodded. “Yes, soone who said they were a friend of yours, ma’am.”
Keera’s friend should only be Mary, right?
Could there be soone else?
As Keira thought about this, she pushed open the door and went inside. She was prepared to face a
stranger but, to her surprise, the person playing with Amy turned out to be a familiar, tall, and lanky
figure.
The man stood with his back to the light and slowly turned around when he heard footsteps.
The sunlight stread in from the window, shining upon him.
After a month apart, Lewis had grown even thinner, yet his gaze as he stared at Keira was so intense…
His eyes firmly fixed on her face, and he said slowly, “Keira, I know it’s you…”
