Chapter 149 To Let Go
A child.
Perhaps there had been a time when Aurelia truly looked forward to having a child between them.
But now, the moment Dominic mentioned it, all she felt was revulsion.
She pulled a tissue from the bedside and wiped her palm again and again, carefully, deliberately, as if trying to erase the sensation of his touch.
The movement was restrained, but the disgust in it was unmistakable.
Dominic watched her in silence, his eyes narrowing slightly.
“You’re that disgusted by me?”
With a dull thud, the used tissue was flung against the bedside cabinet.
Aurelia didn’t spare him so much as an extra glance.
Her voice was cold. “You refuse to sign the divorce agreement,

Dominic said nothing.
“I will divorce you,” Aurelia continued, each word steady and unyielding. “And don’t bring up children again. You make me sick.”
The last sentence, in particular, landed like a blade driven straight into Dominic’s chest.
He let out a low laugh. “Litigation?”
So this was how far she had gone.
She had already initiated legal proceedings just to leave him.
Did she really want to get away from him that badly, regardless of what they had once shared?
Aurelia turned over and lay back against the pillows, looking at him with glacial indifference. “I wanted us to separate cleanly.”
Separate cleanly?
After everything she had stirred up in New York these past few days, she could still say those words with a straight face.
Dominic’s jaw tightened.

Divorce?
Absolutely not.
No matter how badly Aurelia had pushed things lately, the thought of divorcing her had never once crossed his mind.
“As long as I’m alive,” he said, getting to his feet and kicking the stool at his side so hard it toppled over, “don’t even think about divorcing me and ending up with Grant.”
Aurelia glanced at the overturned stool and then fell silent.
The moment Grant was mentioned, she lost all interest in continuing this conversation.
Her silence only fueled Dominic’s anger. “You’re my wife. Even if Grant helps you, your lawsuit won’t go anywhere.”
They were in New York.
Did she really think she could use the law to end this marriage?
Dream on.
Aurelia still didn’t speak.

front of her. The call connected quickly.
“Yes, sir.”
It was the legal department.
He glanced at Aurelia as he spoke through clenched teeth. “Spread the word. In New York, any lawyer who dares take Aurelia’s divorce case can forget about practicing law ever again.”
“Yes.”
Dominic ended the call and tossed the phone onto the bed
beside her.
He leaned forward, bracing his hands on either side of her. “Did you hear that? No one in New York will take your case. What’s next, then? Representing yourself?”
Aurelia looked at him.
For the first time, he felt unfamiliar to her.
She remembered the social functions she had attended at his side after they were married, the countless women trapped in
gilded cages.

The imbalance between men and women made those marriages easy to enter and nearly impossible to escape.
These families cared about appearances.
Even when men no longer offered love or happiness, they clung to the marriage itself.
Under that kind of pressure, women had no room to resist.
Aurelia had never expected Dominic to become one of those men, to use the very tactics she despised against her.
“I won’t hold what happened before against you anymore,” Dominic said. “Just stay by my side. All right?”
The last two words were soft, coaxing.
Aurelia laughed. “You won’t hold it against me anymore?”
“I won’t,” he replied.
She laughed again, the sound sharp and hollow. “You say th
like I’m the one being unreasonable.”

Dominic’s breathing grew heavier.
“I lost two children,” Aurelia said calmly. “Lauren is a Hawthorne, isn’t she?”
Dominic fell silent.
“It was the Hawthorne family that cost me those two children,” she continued.
“And you tell me you won’t hold it against me.”
Did he hear how ridiculous that sounded?
Dominic grabbed her hand. “I’m telling you not to dwell on it. To let go of everything in the past.”
“You’re ordering me?”
Aurelia tried to pull her hand free.
His grip tightened. “Aurelia-”
“The disgusting things you and your family did,” she said sharply. “And you command me not to hold it against anyone? Dominic, do you remember how you deal with people who betray you? Or do you need me to remind you?”

She remembered it vividly.
Shortly after they were married, she had seen him personally ruin a man’s hand.
She had been terrified at the time.
Later, she learned the truth. That man had followed Dominic for years, only to betray him by stealing critical company information and selling it to a competitor.
At the mention of betrayal, Dominic’s expression darkened further.
“And when it comes to me,” Aurelia pressed, “you think this is something I should simply let go?”
Dominic said nothing.
The air in the room felt thinner by the second, as if even breathing had become difficult.
