Husband you've abandoned me Fine I'll focus on raising my son novel Chapter 175

Chapter 175: Emotional Distance

Chapter FIXED

KEITH’S POV

After I was done showering and changing I returned to the main room where I found Diana had left the bed and was nowhere in sight. No doubt she went to check on Marco and help him get ready for school as usual.

I finished packing up my bag with the things I needed for work when Diana soon returned.

She gave me a wide smile as she approached me. I found myself forcing a smile at her.

"Well, I’m off now. Make sure to rest and not overexert yourself. I have maids ready to tend to your every need so if you feel unwell at any point tell them" I told her. With her being pregnant I wanted her to be extra careful and take it easy.

"I’ll see you later then," I said to her.

"Have a good day at work, honey," she said to me sweetly.

She then stepped forward and kissed me, catching me off guard. I kissed her back quickly before I then gently pulled her away from me.

"Okay, I’m going to be late," I said to her.

"And Keith," she then said before I could turn away.

"Yes?" I asked as she looked at me with her deep brown eyes.

"I’ve been meaning to ask you this but wasn’t sure how. I’m aware you’re going to move forward with your divorce from Jasmine but you want joint custody. She has a job now. I think she can take care of the child just fine by herself. Must you fight for joint custody?" she asked me.

My face darkened annoyed by her question before I made it expressionless again. Don’t get angry, stay calm. Was she asking me to abandon my kid? I thought to myself.

" I’m not doing this for that reason. Whether or not she is capable of taking care of Anthony on her own is irrelevant. I’m his father and always will be. I don’t want to end things on loose ends. The right thing is to continue to be present and help raise him. Give time to all my children equally," I explained to her as she just stared at me blankly.

"I see you’re so kind and thoughtful," she told me and smiled at me softly. "I was just asking anyway."

"I’m just doing what’s right," I told her. Only a week remained until the first Court hearing for our divorce. I already knew I was going to win it.

I then left the bedroom and made my way to the mansion exit where I found Marco waiting by the entrance foyer. He was having his uniform tie adjusted by Diana’s head maid.

"Hello Marco, we’re going together today," I told him.

"Yes, Dad," he replied.

He typically went in his own assigned carbecause we left at different times. He typically left at 7am early and I left a little later at 8. However, today I had a lot of meetings so I was going a little earlier.

Marco and I exited the mansion and got into the car waiting for us. As the car departed there was a moment of silence before I decided to make conversation.
