Clara and Sofia couldn’t bear it anymore.
Clara. [Eliana, you made the right decision to divorce. Damon was way out of line. You didn’t even know about Catherine. You just agreed to marry him, why the hell did he do that to you?]
Sofia (Yeah, as a person, he can’t be so selfish. You’re also the victim here.]
Luna [And what about that Karen? Was she crazy? The nonsense spewing, if I were there, I’d give her a piece of my mind!]
Seeing all these ssages pouring out, I felt a lump in my throat. Damon never ntioned Catherine to . He just hoped I’d turn down his grandfather’s proposal
Later, his grandfather’s health worsened. There was no more delay. Since I didn’t refuse, the wedding was set in stone.
If I were to bla for anything, it was that I agreed to marry Damon knowing full well he didn’t fancy ..
That night, the group chat was buzzing. Luna and the others were fuming on my behalf, threatening to get back at Damon. I stopped them.
The more you seek revenge, the more you get tangled up with them. Better to let it slide.
What I’m most worried about now was how long Damon planned to stick around here?
I hoped he could finish his work and co back ho soon. Otherwise, my baby bump will start to show and it would be easy for anyone to spot.
"Let’s et after work and have a chat." The next day at work, I received a ssage from Karen.
"I don’t have ti" I replied and then ignored her.
To my surprise, Karen blocked my car at the company’s entrance after work.
I had no choice but to stop, get out of my car.
"I don’t an anything by this. I just hope you won’t target Ariel anymore. She’s a host in the marketing departnt and you’re in expansion. You guys barely cross paths, there’s no need for all this rivalry Karen seed very self–righteous.
I asked, "On what authority are you defending her?"
Karen replied, "I treat her like my own sister. That’s why."
I found it amusing, "So, you think Damon’s true love is still your sister, and you’re okay with Ariel, the stand–in, being by Damon’s side, right?"
Should I praise Karen and her sister for their deep bond, or was Ariel just that irresistible?
Just as Karen was about to answer , Ariel also ca out of the company. Her eyes were red, her little face devoid of any color, she looked pitiful.
She saw , hatred flashed in her eyes, then she looked aggrieved again, "Eliana, I’ve resigned. I won’t be an eyesore here anymore."
"Ariel, why are you resigning? You can’t! It’s not your fault!" Karen disagreed.
"Now everyone thinks that I’m the one who ruined Eliana’s marriage. How can I keep working here with any dignity left? Karen, thanks for looking after all this ti. I’ll treat you to a al if I get the chance" Ariel wiped the corner of her eyes, her forced smile looked rather tragic.
Karen looked at , hinting for to speak
I chuckled, "You can’t stand the rumors and gossip anymore, so you decided to resign, right?"
"Eliana, ... Tears welled up in Ariel’s eyes.
"Enough, Ariel. You know what you’ve done. I don’t want to talk to you anymore. I wish you and Damon a lifeti of love and may you never part!" I’m starving now, all I want is to go ho and eat.
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw Ariel’s face change. She was looking behind .
I turned around to see Damon standing behind with a serious look. He must have heard what I just said.
"What did she do? Tell ." Damon looked at calmly, but I knew he was pissed.
Ariel looked a bit nervous, staring at .
When I was kidnapped, she ignored my cry for help and tried to distract Damon and the others.
When Damon and I décided to divorce, she secretly encouraged to find new happiness and divorce Damon as soon as possible.
She also asked Joshua to visit in the hospital, timing it so that he would bump into Damon. She deliberately used the perfu I gave to Cherry to mark her territory in Damon’s car. She sent repentance ssages and her location, saying she didn’t want to live....
All these little tricks, I saw them all, and recorded them on my phone.
I’ll showcase them when the ti is right.
"Mr. Coleman, Eliana, she has so misunderstandings about . She didn’t an to accuse of interfering in other people’s marriages last ti. I caused her trouble, so I resigned today" Ariel, seeing that I wasn’t talking, said nervously.
Suddenly, Ariel walked up to , grabbed my hand, and slapped her face, "Eliana, it’s my fault. Hit ! I deserve it!"
I was caught off guard. Karen quickly stepped in and grabbed my hand, afraid I would actually hit Ariel.
I instinctively tried to pull back my hand, but Ariel fell over and landed on the ground.
"Ariel!" Damon imdiately stepped forward to help Ariel up
Karen also got angry and pushed . I fell to the ground. A slight pain shot through my lower abdon!
I imdiately covered my belly, my face turned pale.
"Eliana didn’t an to, don’t bla her", I wasn’t stable. Ariel stood up with Damon’s help and was still sanctimoniously speaking for .
I felt a warm liquid flowing out from my lower body, so I gritted my teeth and said, "Damon, I think I’m on my period. You know I’m not in good health. Could you take to the hospital..."
"Ah!" At this mont, Ariel also let out a painful cry. She bent down to roll up her trousers. Her ankle was swollen. She must have twisted it.
A cold feeling settled in my heart. Ariel clearly didn’t want Damon to take to the hospital.
Normally, I could let it go, but now I’m pregnant, I almost blurted out to let Damon choose!
But then I got scared. What if I even brought up the pregnancy and Damon was still indifferent? Wouldn’t that make seem even more pathetic and laughable?
Even my child would beco a laughing stock, a poor kid who’s not loved by his father.
I got up, touched the bloodstain on my skirt, felt a tug at my heart, then propped myself up and walked towards my car, planning to go to the hospital by myself
"Damon!" I heard Ariel’s exasperated shout.
Before I could even turn my head, I was effortlessly scooped up.
"I’m taking you to the hospital", Damon said, cradling tightly. His jawline was sharp and attractive, moving slightly as he spoke.
Ariel’s voice faded into the background, probably unable to believe that Damon was prioritizing .
He placed in the passenger seat, silently fastening my seatbelt before driving off to the nearest hospital.
Through the car window, I watched Ariel’s figure gradually beco a blur, shrinking into a tiny dot
"I might ss up your car," I apologized.
"My car can deal. You, on the other hand, need to learn how to take care of yourself. You’re a grown– ass adult, Damon said, brows furrowed as he glanced at .
I didn’t have the energy to respond, my mind consud with worry about the baby.
