"What are you up to?"
She got out of her way to marry him, to please grandma, servants and everyone around him. All she wanted was to impress him, wasn't it?
Filip had said this to Starry too many times. When she just married him, he asked her what she was up to when she brought meals to him; when she tried to invite a famous doctor for Frances to treat her leg; and now when she wanted to divorce him.
Starry thought it was meaningless. "I'm up to a divorce."
She was having a high fever for almost the whole night. Now when she just woke up, her voice was still hoarse.
This was the first time Starry retorted him. Filip's face turned sullen, "Starry, you can't be too greedy!"
Starry smiled indifferently, "Yes, one can't be too greedy," she paused, "so let's divorce."
She repeated it again.
Filip thought Starry was pushing her luck. She really thought that since she had flattered grandma, he didn't dare divorce her?
"OK, let's do it!""
He said coldly, turned and directly left the ward.
He pushed the door and it hit the wall with a loud noise.
Starry only glanced at him, and then picked up the gift box on the bedside table.
It was Filip's birthday present, but he didn't take it. He not only refused to accept it, but also threw it into the fountain
Since he didn't want it, then drop it.
Anyway, she wouldn't give him any gift in the future.
It was a pity that he wouldn't receive her gift anymore.
In fact, she was just deceiving herself in the past years.
Starry stopped thinking, raised her hand and wiped the tears on her face. Then she picked up her phone and called Izabella Baxter.
When Izabella arrived at the hospital, Starry was sitting on the side of hospital bed in the hospital gown. The sun outside the window fell on her face, making her white skin even whiter.
Izabella was scared, "Starry, what's the matter with you?"
Starry heard her voice and smiled at Izabella. "Hi."
Izabella thought there was something wrong with Starry, but she couldn't tell.
"Izabella, have you brought the clothes?"
Izabella came to her senses and handed the bag over, "Here, Starry, did you fall out with Filip?"
"No."
Starry shook her head, took the bag Izabella handed her and walked into the bathroom.
Izabella learned about what happened last night from Dillon.
But everyone knew that Starry had always treated Filip well. They had been married for five years, and Filip kept rocking the boat for five years. Nevertheless, no one had seen Starry threw a tantrum at Filip.
She always seemed to be so gentle and considerate. No matter what Filip said or how he chided her, she always looked at him with a smile. When Filip stopped talking, she would say softly, "Let's chill, ok?"
Starry's behaviors even made those who wasn't optimistic about their marriage changed their mind.
Izabella thought it was impossible for them to quarrel, but Filip took it too far last night.
Starry wanted to celebrate his birthday. If he didn't accept it, it was ok. But why did he get physical?
The cake was not expensive, and the present he threw away might not be as expensive as one of his cufflinks, but money couldn't buy Starry's sincerity.
