The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 443

"How about me? Have you completely forgotten what happened between us? Don't you think we need to have a chat?" Rachel pushed Chris aside with all her strength and was just about to run, when Edward blocked her only way out. She then realized it was impossible to leave as she saw Edward.

"Bitch!" Edward kept looking for her every where in the past few days to divorce her, but she was in hiding to prevent such a scene. Therefore, they couldn't really get divorced until this very moment.

Edward couldn't contain his anger a moment longer after seeing Rachel. He slapped her hard across her cheek.

Rachel felt hurt but knew there was no point to argue with him, she didn't have the courage to do so either. She covered her face with shame and guilt as Edward restlessly stood across her.

"Why did you come out of your hiding hole? I should have thought you are omnipotent! So why do you show up now huh?" Edward yelled out at Rachel seeking answers.

Rachel was speechless as she trembled from fear.

Chris frowned and said to Edward," Dad, please calm down. Don't forget that we have come here for a more important thing."

After signing the divorce papers, they both could go back to being strangers. As for Edward, he could not wait to finish all of this as soon as possible as he had waited for what seemed like a decade.

Edward finally recalled his sole motive to come here as he sneered at Rachel and said," Hurry up, come to the Civil Affairs Bureau with me to finalize our divorce! I have prepared everything for our divorce. Let's finish it today and we'll have nothing to do with each other anymore."

"No!" Rachel refused instinctively and said to Edward," I told you earlier and I'll say it again, that if you want a divorce, you must accept my demands. If not, I will not sign on the agreement."

"You are so..." Edward was infuriated by Rachel and her nature, but he calmed himself and asked Rachel immediately," Are you still coveting my wealth while you are in such a pathetic condition? You must be dreaming!"

"Anyway, I said what I had to. If you don't fulfill my requirements, I simply won't divorce you." With a sly smile Rachel added," Edward, I don't need to get divorced immediately. I lost everything so I don't care if I am accused by someone else. But your case is different. Your daughter is getting married soon. If anyone asks you questions about me at her wedding, I don't think it will be easy to speak out our precarious little situation."

"Just shut your trap! I have had enough of you..." Edward was annoyed and was just about to slap her again and Rachel anticipating his next move closed her eyes in fear. Chris held Edward back immediately and said," Dad, stop! You will beat her to death if you don't stop."

Chris was right because violence can never solve any problems. Now what they should do was to consider what to do next.

Edward was convinced and he put his hand down.

Rachel gave a cold smile. 'Edward will not dare to do anything to me, so he will agree on my requirement as long as I remain adamant, ' she thought.

"Have you thought it through? If you decide not to agree to my terms, I will leave now." Rachel added," When you change your mind, you can come find me."
