The fleeting expression of pain on her face did not escape Kelvin's eyes, and as he thought about the reason behind it, a feeling of guilt spread within him.
For three years, his grandfather had been urging them to have a child.
Cheyenne had wondered what their child would look like since the first day she married him.
The answer was Kelvin's cold indifference.
After each time they were intimate, he would get up and dress himself in a cold manner before throwing birth control pills at her.
"Take it."
"Honey, can I not take it? Grandfather hopes..."
He suddenly became furious, grabbing her chin with his big hand and squeezing hard.
His low and heartless voice rang in her ear like a sharp knife piercing through her heart.
"Shut up! Any woman can give birth to my child except you, Cheyenne. Do you understand?"
Later on, without him having to say anything more, Cheyenne would prepare the pills beforehand and swallow them before he arrived so that Kelvin wouldn't be displeased again.
If only he didn't despise her so much; perhaps their child would have been similar in size to Lewis'.
Unfortunately, there are no ifs.
From the moment she decided to divorce him, Cheyenne was no longer that humble girl who loved him unconditionally. She wanted to be a queen herself!
Iker didn't know what happened before but he knew the one who could make Cheyenne show such sadness must be Kelvin.
He timely grabbed hold of Cheyenne's arm with his big hand and said in a deep voice devoid of any emotion: "I don't have anywhere else to stay now, so I'll stay at your place for a few days."
Erica's eyes flashed with a glint as she looked between the two without saying anything.
Kai looked embarrassed because Iker would rather live outside than stay in the large Todd mansion.
Cheyenne wore an astonished expression as if asking why.
A moment later, one security guard placed an unburnt gasoline barrel right in front of everyone. This fire wasn't accidental but rather premeditated murder by someone!
Kai's face immediately darkened. He stared fiercely at the gasoline barrel and said through gritted teeth, "Investigate. Whoever dares mess with the Todd family must have a death wish!"
Cheyenne was speechless. Before, when Omari mentioned the situation in the Todd family was complicated, she was dismissive. But now it seemed Omari told the truth and someone even dared harm Iker.
And if Iker died, all her efforts would be for nothing.
She waved her hand in resignation. "You can stay at my place if you want, just remember to pay rent."
Without hesitation, Tanner pulled out a check and handed it over with both hands respectfully. "Miss Lawrence, please take a look."
Wow. They had planned this ahead of time.
Cheyenne glanced at the check and counted carefully. "One... two... six... seven! Holy shit, seven digits? Master Iker is quite generous! You can stay as long as you want in my villa; there are plenty of rooms."
