Realizing that I was about to vomit, he was stunned and got up immediately. He anxiously cursed, “You only ate fish. Why would you feel like vomiting? Are you pregnant?”
His words made me break out in cold sweat.
However, there was no time for me to waste and ponder over it. Within seconds, I ran to the restroom and spent a long time emptying my stomach’s contents into the toilet. When my stomach finally began to settle down, I turned around to see Ashton standing there rigidly.
“Scarlett, we should bring you to the hospital,” he stated gruffly. His low tone sounded emotionless and unfriendly.
“No, I don’t want to go there.” Shoving past him, I left the restroom.
Unfortunately, he managed to grab my wrist, and in the heat of the moment, I gave him a death glare. “Ashton, I told you to leave me alone.”
I paused for a while and continued, “Besides, if there is nothing wrong with your memory, I wonder if you have thought about what I told you last night. I want a divorce with you as soon as possible.”
His eyes turned dark. “Scarlett, do you know what you’re doing?”
“Of course!” I scoffed. Glaring at him, I tried to hold in my laughter. “While you’ve been meticulously taking care of Rebecca, our relationship is still ambiguous. Do you enjoy being entangled with two women at the same time?”
His face turned pale, and his lips were pressed into a thin line. I knew he was angry, but it was the truth. Although I might be too straightforward, he had to face the truth someday.
“What do you want me to do?” There was helplessness in his tone when he finally spoke after an awkward pause.
I froze for a while before I replied, “Let’s file for a divorce. We can cut our ties and live our lives separately.”
“I can’t do that!” He yelled in frustration with his eyebrows pinched together.
Turning to him, I chuckled, “Otherwise, you can choose to stay away from Rebecca instead. Give her some money and ask her to get out of your life.”
“Scarlett, who are you to decide what I should do with my life?” Rebecca suddenly snarled.
I looked past Ashton to see her. Seeing the angry look on her face, I mocked, “Who am I? Well, based on the fact that Ashton doesn’t want to divorce me and I am his lawful wife, it gives me a right to say that. He can’t even let me go.”
“You…” Rebecca stuttered as her face gradually turned red. She was fuming and wanted to rebut me, but I was not interested in dragging things out.
Therefore, I chose to return to my seat. Grabbing my bag, I left.
Nick followed behind me.
“What is it?” I turned back and questioned him.
