Even if you weren’t the one who drugged me, are you saying you didn’t have a selfish desire to sleep with me? You knew I was drugged. There were other ways to handle it, but you still climbed into my bed!
“Did I force you? Weren’t you the one who willingly let me sleep with you?”
Gideon went on for some time, and Aria listened to every single word.
In the end, it all boiled down to one thing.
He was calling her promiscuous and cheap.
“Are you done? Get out.”
Aria’s attitude grew even colder.
If Gideon hadn’t brought it up, she would have almost forgotten the details of that day.
After Gideon was drugged, he felt unwell and went to a nearby hotel to rest. Aria was the one who took him there.
Once in the suite, as the drug took effect, Gideon held her and called out “Aria, Aria” over and over.
She had thought they were in love.
After that absurd night, Gideon woke up without a shred of tenderness and instead handed her a death sentence.
Thinking of this, Aria couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
A murky beginning had led to an equally murky end.
Aria blurted out, “Gideon, let’s get a divorce.”
Gideon, who had been about to leave, froze and stared at Aria. “You want to divorce me?”
“Yes.”
“I don’t agree.” Gideon knew he had gone too far, so he explained with forced patience, “You’re pregnant. If we divorce now, how will you…”
“If you feel sorry for me, then just give me a share of the assets.” Aria closed her book and said coldly, “As long as there’s enough money, raising any number of children is no hardship.”
“Impossible.” Gideon refused flatly. “I will not let my child leave the Evernight family. Don’t even think about it.”
“I’ll assume you’re just saying this out of anger today. I don’t want to hear it again.”
“I haven’t cheated or been abusive. I was just cold to you because of a misunderstanding. Now that it’s cleared up, you’re the one holding a grudge and refusing to move on.”
