All these years they had been married, it had always been Anthony who gave in to Monica. She was accustomed to having her way with him, so it was unlikely she would hold her temper now.
What she could not tolerate most was Anthony hitting her in front of a maid.
Silence settled between them.
Anthony regarded Monica with tired eyes, devoid of the affection that once filled them.
Monica's heart pounded as she realized he might actually be serious.
"You—" she began, her voice faltering.
He cut her off, "Fine. If you want a divorce, we'll divorce."
She stared at him, stunned. She had only intended the comment as a threat, never imagining he would actually agree.
As the shock wore off, it gave way to rage. Not only was he not apologizing for hitting her, but he was also so brazen about it.
"Fine! But don't you dare regret it!" She spun around, anger burning within her, and stormed back to her car.
Watching her drive away, Anthony remained silent. He turned to the maid at the door and asked, "Could you please let Mr. and Ms. Weir know that I'm here to apologize and ask if they'll see me?"
The maid replied coolly, "I'll relay your message, but they may not agree to meet with you."
Anthony nodded. "Sure, thank you."
The maid closed the door and went back inside.
In the living room, Valarie was chatting with Phoebe when she noticed the maid enter.

The readers' comments on the novel: Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)
More chapters please why stop updating...
When will the new chapters come...
Author! Why does it always so mean? Like a new character will appear and at the end of the chapter, they're all antagonist who always intend to hurt Nyla. Is there any character who will protect her with no expectation in return of any thing?...
AUTHOR!!! NOTICE THIS PLEASE!!!! I hope that Nyla's heart can be softened with Damon alone like clear things up and make some intimate time with each other. And of course Damon talking to Rebecca will make Nyla go back to her status again. Just a short calmness and joy for Nyla and Damon....
