Chapter 908
Joseph refused to accept it and threw the documents to the ground with a flick. ‘Il won't sign it! I won't sign it!"
"It's your choice. If you don't sign it, I'll sue you. Let's separate from each other for a while. Whatever it is, I know I won't stay with you any longer. I'm tired, Joseph, I genuinely am.”
"Tired? Eloise, we've been together for years. Now that I'm like this, you're just going to divorce me?!" Joseph growled as he patted his leg unconsciously.
"Joseph, you know that's not the reason. Indeed, many envy me for marrying into a wealthy family. I'm sure we're both aware of how much you've given me and what I've done for the family over the years.
"Still, you proudly parade around with your mistress for years and even bring your illegitimate child into our home. Have you ever stopped to consider how I'd look and feel? Have you honestly never considered getting a divorce?"
This question immediately stumped Joseph. He did think about it before. Every second he spent in Elizabeth's embrace encouraged him to consider filing for a divorce. However, divorce was not an easy task.
Initially, he thought he could carry on living like this. The worst thing that could happen was that he would have to attend to both of the women at the same time. He enjoyed having both of them in his life, but he did not expect this twist of fate where Eloise would file a divorce against him.
“I'm not going to sign the papers.” Joseph looked up and noticed Derrick still lingering around and called out to him," Derrick, please help me persuade her. This woman has lost her mind.”
"El..." Derrick’s eyes darted from Joseph to Eloise.
"Derrick, please don't try and talk me out of this," Eloise said earnestly.
