Chapter 35 Do You Still Want a Divorce?

Josephine’s heart stopped for a moment. By instinct, she stealthily retrieved the charger from her table and plugged in her phone.

She only needed two minutes to charge her phone, as long as she could turn it on, would be enough.

it

But things didn’t go as planned. Her phone had only been charged for less than a minute when the sound of running water from the bathroom stopped.

She quickly unplugged the charger and ran toward the door.

“Stop right there!”

Before she could exit the bedroom, Josephine was stopped in her tracks. She bit her lip and clutched the charger tightly, too afraid to turn around.

She could hear footsteps approaching her from behind, followed by a light chuckle.

His laugh had an underlying hint of disdain and scorn. Josephine’s face flushed red, feeling embarrassed and ashamed.

“Turn around.”

Josephine clenched her fist tighter around the charger and forced herself to face Lewis. Her gaze met with his sculpted chest. Lewis was naked, fresh from the shower, with a towel wrapped around his waist.

Water was still dripping down his wet hair and defined muscles.

“I thought you were determined to leave? Why did you come back?” Lewis asked mockingly.

Josephine looked up and showed him the charger in her hand.

Lewis’s smile faded slightly, and he continued in an icy tone, “You have some guts. But don’t forget, I bought the phone for you. Who gave you the right to take it?”

Josephine lowered her gaze, gripping the charger.

She needed to borrow money.

Without a phone or money, how could she keep this child?

Lewis was obviously cutting her off from receiving any help.

Josephine couldn’t help but begin to doubt whether she could really survive if she

left the mansion.

Last night’s events were still fresh in her mind. Just thinking about it made a chill run down her spine.

Lewis extended his outstretched palm to Josephine, his meaning clear.

Josephine put her hands behind her back, trying to hide the fact that she had her phone and charger.

Her futile attempt made Lewis chuckle again. “Give it to me.”

Josephine closed her eyes in resignation. She slowly took out the phone and charger, placing them in his palm.

Lewis toyed with the phone in his hands for a moment before glancing up at Josephine. “You can leave now.”

Josephine lowered her head and turned to leave.

He continued fiddling with Josephine’s phone, staring at her slender figure with a stony gaze as she left.

As Josephine left the mansion, a surge of heartache and sadness overwhelmed her. Josephine couldn’t hold back her tears any longer and sat down on the steps of the mansion, cradling her belly.

She did not have the resources or capability to keep this child.

Josephine knew she didn’t deserve her baby.

She couldn’t even survive on her own, let alone be a mother.

The baby in her belly probably didn’t want her as a mother either.

She buried her head in her knees and cried her heart out uncontrollably.

However, she couldn’t make a sound or vent her sadness.

Illuminated by the sun’s rays, Josephine was curled up at the steps like a tiny creature, sitting there all alone.

She had walked all day on an empty stomach.

At this time, she was so tired and hungry that she could not remember how she lost consciousness.

Josephine drifted off to sleep, dreaming about her and Lewis when they were younger.

In the dream, young Lewis was a tall lad who was dressed in a crisp white shirt. He

was always calm and composed.

Every day after school, Lewis would wait for her at the school gate.

Whenever he caught sight of her, he would tilt his head and smile, his eyes shining.

At that time, he was already very popular. Countless girls were crazy for his attention, but he only had eyes for her.

He was her hero, always extending a helping hand when she was in trouble.

It felt wrong for Josephine to even look into his eyes, that was how much she admired him.

As Josephine was still young and naive, she didn’t know what love was, but wherever she looked, she was reminded of Lewis.

Her heart was filled with memories of each moment they spent together.
