Chapter 306

Brynlee listened intently, then looked up, her gaze shifting between her parents. “Just like you and Mommy? You’ll protect me and watch me grow up?”

A lump formed in Kaia’s throat. She crouched down, gently tucking a stray curl behind Brynlee’s ear. “Of course we will.”

Finnian glanced at Kaia. Her voice was trembling, betraying the calm facade she was desperately trying to maintain.

“What about you, Daddy?” Brynlee turned to him. “Will you always stay by my side too?”

Finnian nodded, his eyes filled with warmth. “Always. You’ll forever be my little princess.”

Satisfied, Brynlee giggled and ran toward the next display.

Kaia slowly turned her head and looked at Finnian. Her eyes were burning with a hatred so raw and intense that Finnian actually flinched.

Without a word, Kaia stood up and hurried after their daughter.

Finnian felt as though he had been plunged into ice water. He had never been sure if Kaia actually harbored any deep feelings for him when they married, but that look of pure resentment was a vicious blow.

He looked around at the other families laughing and pointing at exhibits, then back at the empty space where his wife and daughter had stood. The reality hit him hard. Their days as a family were numbered. Once the divorce was finalized, their lives would fracture, and Brynlee would be caught in the crossfire.

A shadow fell over his eyes, heavy with unspoken regret.

By the time they left the museum, it was past four in the afternoon. Brynlee was exhausted. She collapsed onto Finnian’s shoulder, her eyes

Feeling her small, warm breaths against his neck brought a fierce wave of

ternal satisfaction over him. It was a simple joy, yet profound.

Let’s go. I’ll take you home,” Finnian said quietly.

Kaia stared at him, bewildered.

“You want me to sign it, I’ll sign it. But I need guarantees too. We both compromise. That’s fair.”

“Finnian, could you possibly be any more shameless?” she hisse flaring in her chest.

Finnian’s jaw clenched, his gaze turning predatory. “Is it a crime to demand a level playing field?”

Kaia was breathing heavily, her chest heaving, with fury.

“The Marital Separation Agreement should be fair. You’re the one who invited Simon Quinn into your bed while you’re still married to me-”

A sharp slap echoed through the quiet hallway.

Finnian’s head snapped to the side. The stinging heat bloomed across his cheek, and his eyes darkened into a tempest of rage.

Kaia’s hand trembled violently before she dropped it to her side.

Finnian slowly turned his head back to face her. “So, you’re hitting me

now?”

In seven years, Kaia had never even cursed, let alone struck anyone. She was the picture of elegance and composure, Finnian had thought her incapable of violence, but today, she had proved him wrongi

“Listen to me, Finnian,” she whispered, her voice colder than ice. “A shameless hypocrite like you doesn’t deserve fairness.”

Finnian opened his mouth, but the fury choked the words in his throat

Kaia glared at him, enunciating every word. “If I had known seven years ago that you were still pining for an old flame, I would have never married you.”

“What old flame?” Finnian demanded, his eyes flashing with indignation.
