Back in Time: Unshackling From Love (Mikayla Davidson) novel Chapter 273

Chapter 273 

Jerome frowned. 

“Mikayla, why are you dragging Kylie into this? What does this have to do with her? I investigated because you were eager to find out about the truth.” 

Mikayla scoffed and remained silent. 

He was infuriated. “Never mind your nonsense back then, but how could you say that in front of Dad earlier? When did I ever show the intention of marrying Kylie?” 

Mikayla mused about what happened in her previous life. He actually divorced her to marry Kylie. He even prevented her from leaving the mental hospital, worried that she might jeopardize their wedding. 

She knew Jerome had yet to discover his feelings for Kylie because she hadn’t been causing that much trouble. Clearly, she couldn’t tell him this, so she brought up what happened a few days ago. 

“When you drank the drugged lentil soup Grandma sent last time, didn’t you go to Kylie after I rejected 

you?” 

Jerome barked out a sardonic laughter. “Mikayla, do you think I’m an immoral jerk who’ll fuck another woman when I’m already married?” 

Normal men wouldn’t, but he never had any feelings for Mikayla. She wasn’t certain what he’d do once he was drugged. She hadn’t heard from him during those two days, after all. The next thing she knew was the post she saw on Kylie’s social media. 

Jerome saw right through her thoughts. Cupping her chin forcefully, he gritted out, “I went to the hospital. Do you need me to show you the medical records?” 

Mikayla yanked his hand away. “I don’t want to see them. I told you, that’s none of my concern.” 

He was seething. “Mikayla, you told Aubrey to cause a scene back then because you thought I was with Kylie during those few days? 

“Kylie said Mr. White wanted to thank me over a meal, but he left when I arrived. That’s why she was the 

only one there! Since you were so bothered by it, to the extent that you were goading Aubrey to cause a scene, why didn’t you just ask me instead?” 

Mikayla was getting worked up as well. “I didn’t instruct Aubrey to do that. She framed me!” 

Jerome kept quiet, clearly not believing her. 

She couldn’t help but sneer. “You don’t believe me, do you? You tell me to tell the truth, but you don’t trust me when I do. What’s the point of all this, then?” 

He pressed his lips together and muttered, “I’ll look into this.” 

“No need.” Mikayla regained her composure. “It doesn’t matter at this point. I’ve done something similar in the past, after all. It’s completely understandable for you to doubt me.” 

*Jerome, I know you’re reluctant to file a divorce. But ask yourself truthfully, how long is our marriage going to last even if I don’t propose a divorce?” 

His expression faltered. “I’ve never mentioned wanting to divorce you.” 

“Of course. You wouldn’t have brought it up.” 

A mocking sneer spread across Mikayla’s face. “You’ll just put me in a difficult spot with your coldness and contempt toward me until I can no longer bear it. I’ll either cause you a lot of trouble, or I’ll just opt for 

a divorce. 

“No matter what I do, you’re always right. Don’t you think that’s even worse than bringing up a divorce?”
