My Husband Wants Me Dead (Esther and Bradley) novel Chapter 290

Chapter 290 

“Then give me birth control pills.” 

Esther used to yearn for an intimate relationship with Bradley, but now, when his hands touched her skin, all she felt was disgust and resistance deep within her heart. Despite her strong aversion, her body instinctively submitted to him. 

“Esther, Felix had an accident. Bradley will need time to accept this fact. He might want to have another child with you. Since things have already happened, why don’t both of you let go of the past and look ahead? I believe Bradley’s attitude will change once you become pregnant.” 

Kevin’s words made Esther cover her face as she burst into wild laughter. How absurd! 

Kevin claimed she was his savior, yet he was urging her to obey Bradley and obediently bear a child for him. On what grounds? Why should she have this child? 

“Kevin, it’s highly questionable that you, as a doctor, would say such things. It makes me doubt whether Bradley paid for your Ph.D.” 

Kevin sighed helplessly and softly pleaded, “Esther, you and Felix have only been together for a short while, and already you find it difficult to accept Felix’s accident. Please try to see things from a different perspective. Consider Bradley’s feelings for Felix. Isn’t it natural for him to have difficulty accepting it for now? Esther, don’t you love him? Can’t you think about it for his sake?” 

“Kevin, I don’t love him anymore.” Esther slowly raised her hand and looked at the bruises on her wrist with a disgusted expression. “Just the thought of him makes me nauseous.” 

Yes. She had fallen in love with him in her young and naive years like a moth drawn to a flame. She always believed she had plenty of time to warm him up, to melt him. But little did she know it was all just a one-sided show. 

Kevin fell silent. He didn’t know how to persuade Esther and Bradley, both filled with resentment. It seemed there were countless unsolvable knots between them. Even if he were all-powerful, it would be futile in their case. 

“Esther, let the nurse properly apply medicine to your wounds.” Kevin signaled the nurse with his eyes. 

As a man, it would be inappropriate for him to stay in the room, so he quietly left, heading to the study where Bradley was staring at the surveillance video of the bedroom. 

Bradley’s dark eyes shifted away from the surveillance screen as he sneered. “She says I’m disgusting.” 

Why didn’t she say that when she willingly got into my bed back then? 

“Bradley, how did you and Esther end up like this?” Kevin weakly sat on the genuine leather sofa chair, torn between Bradley and Esther. “Esther didn’t betray you and even gave birth to your children. For the sake of the children, no matter how much resentment you have toward her-”
