Chapter 56
“Darling, are you really kicking me out?”
Nicole hung her head weakly. Let alone enjoying their first night as newlyweds, her status as a legitimate wife was about to disappear soon.
Today was supposed to be a happy day. Everything was ruined instantly because of Aurora and Asher’s actions.
“From now on, I’m divorcing you. Tomorrow, I’ll take care of our divorce. So, please take all your belongings and leave. I don’t want to see your face anymore!”
Alex looked furious. Consumed by anger, he ordered Nicole to leave his mother’s residence immediately.
Moreover, what was the point of Alex holding onto Nicole? It was clear that he had been betrayed. Besides, the baby in her belly wasn’t even his flesh and blood. So why should he persist, let alone take responsibility? It was a waste of time.
“But, Alex. I’m pregnant. Don’t you have any pity for me?”
Alex stared intently at Nicole, who was now sitting on the floor. She seemed to be trying to persuade Alex to reconsider his decision to kick her out.
Alex then grabbed Nicole’s arm and pulled her towards Bastian, who was still there.
“Go ahead, demand accountability from Bastian. He’s the one who impregnated you, he’s also the one who will marry you and take care of all your needs.”
“No!” Nicole shook her head. She pushed away Alex’s hand that had previously gripped her tightly.
“I don’t want to live with Bastian. I love you, not Bastian.”
“But he’s the one who impregnated you, right? Why should I be the one to take responsibility?”
Nicole shook her head vigorously, refusing with all her might to accept the reality that Alex presented.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“Why don’t you give me a chance to prove it? We can do a DNA test when the baby is born. At least, give me time with you until the baby is born.”
Alex laughed bitterly. What kind of offer was Nicole presenting?
“Give you a chance? You mean I should wait nine months to prove who the father of the baby you’re carrying is?”
“Yes.”
“Don’t be ridiculous! Why should I waste my time? If you insist on doing a DNA test, please stay with Bastian for now. Then, after the baby is born, we can test together.”
“But, Alex—”
“Enough!” Alex interrupted hastily. His head felt like it was about to explode from Nicole’s incessant nagging, which was actually completely irrelevant. Really, he was tired of hearing his ex-girlfriend whining, asking to stay with him as if nothing had happened between them. Ridiculous!
“Nicole…” Bastian dared to speak up. He called out to Nicole, who was arguing with Alex. “I’ll take responsibility. You don’t have to worry about the baby in your stomach.”
“No!”
Nicole exclaimed in refusal. Even though she knew and was aware that Bastian had impregnated her, Nicole felt unwilling to marry the man.
“Don’t even dream that I will want to live with you.”
Nicole then walked away. Approaching Savana, who was sitting on the sofa, she then knelt down while holding the older woman’s leg.
“Ma… please help Nicole. Please tell Alex that Nicole doesn’t want a divorce, let alone to separate from him. Nicole loves Alex, Ma. Nicole doesn’t want to leave here.”
Savana remained unmoved. She ignored Nicole’s heart-wrenching pleas.
“Nicole loves Mama and Alex. Nicole doesn’t want to be separated from you. This is all just Aurora’s scheme to destroy our family.”
Savana then turned. She stared sharply at Nicole, who was still kneeling at her feet.
“It’s all because of you, Nicole. Look at this!” Savana then roughly grabbed Nicole’s chin, pulling her up while showing her one of the sheets of paper containing the bills that Aurora had given earlier. “This sheet is full of expensive purchases that Alex bought for you! Alex has a lot of debt because of you!”
Nicole shook her head. She tried to defend herself.
“Nicole is sorry, Ma. How could Nicole know that it would end like this?”
“Ah, women never know when they’re lucky!”
Savana then stood up, grabbing Nicole’s wrist firmly. She dragged her mercilessly to immediately leave her house.
