It’s Too Late To Get A Divorce

“Samuel,” Alita couldn’t help but call out.

Jaydon fixed his gaze on Samuel and sneered. “Samuel, what a coincidence that you’re here. But this is a private matter between my wife and me. Please refrain from interfering

Alita also wondered how Samuel knew they were here. She scrutinized his attire-instead of the expected black and silver, he wore a navy blue suit and no mask. His sudden appearance seemed almost as if he had been lurking in the shadows, waiting to make a move.

Samuel chuckled. “Your affairs are none of my concern. However, Mike has arrived, and the ceremony is about to begin. He sent me to fetch you both. Do you really want to see Alita battered and bruised?”

“Don’t use that old man to threaten me. He should see for himself the extent of her promiscuity” Jaydon seethed at the thought of her embracing and kissing another man in this room igniting an uncontrollable rage within him.

Today is Annabel’s engagement, a significant event. Let’s talk after the banquet, Samuel asserted, lowering his cane with a resolute gaze. To prevent further harm to Alita, I must take her away now, Mike is waiting for her.”

Alita looked at Jaydon, thinking that if Samuel hadn’t intervened Jaydon’s fury could have killed her. He was utterly

heartless.

She chuckled inwardly, feeling that it would have been better if he had just killed her earlier. Then she would have been. forever free from this turmoil.

Samuel released his cane and swiftly escorted Alita out of the room.

Jaydon forcefully struck the crystal cane against the glass table, shattering both. The amount of force required to break these two sturdy objects simultaneously reflected his anger and the growing pain in his heart. The realization that Alita had cheated on him with another man left him miserable.

Cecilia covered her ears and closed her eyes, terrified of Jaydon’s violent outburst.

Alita hesitated and trembled, tears streaming down her face. “If I were there, he would have hit me again,” she muttered.

“Let’s go. Samuel said, taking her by the shoulder and leading her forward.

Samuel took her to the bathroom. “You have 5 minutes. Fix your hair and touch up your makeup, then we’ll go.”

“Okay.” Alita nodded quietly. She absentmindedly fiddled with her hair in front of the mirror, her mind still reeling from the

recent events.

“You won’t be able to do your hair properly after the banquet with it in this state,” Samuel said, walking over and skillfully styling her hair. “Done.”

Alita was extremely surprised. “I had no idea that you were so skilled, Samuel.”

“I have many hidden talents. Let me help touch up your makeup too,” he said, taking out her lipstick from her bag and carefully applying it for her

Perhaps due to his intense focus, he leaned in closer, his gaze becoming more and more ambiguous, his lips almost touching her

Let me see if it’s done. She quickly turned her face away, taking his hand away and looking in the mirror, diffusing the

awkward situation

“How does it look?” Samuel asked, smiling gently in the mirror.

“It’s good.” Alita smiled, feeling relieved inside.

In the banquet hall, the lights dimmed. Alita stood beside Mike, while Jaydon stood on the other side, wearing a new suit. Despite his still sore leg, he could still stand.

On stage, under the host’s guidance, Kim and Annabel exchanged engagement rings, looking very sweet.

Alita watched them, and Kim smiled at her as well. Beneath the facade of happiness, there was something fishy going on.

After everyone’s blessings, the evening banquet came to a close.

Cecilia, knowing Mike had arrived, avoided standing with Jaydon, Samuel escorted Mike to greet some prominent figures from the business world.

In the presence of Mike, everyone in the Lewis family behaved properly. Alita and Jaydon stood together, but there was a noticeable distance between them.

Jaydon glared at Alita, saying through gritted teeth. “I’ll teach you a lesson when we arrive home, you slut.”

Alita hung her head in silence, but when someone came over to greet them, she managed to put on a smiling face.

After the banquet, the Lewis family members followed Mike’s car, creating a grand spectacle on the road.

Back at home, Alita felt scared of going upstairs, unsure of what jaydon would do to her.

“Alita, go upstairs with Jaydon. You both behaved well tonight. That’s how it should be,” Mike said cheerfully, but there was something he didn’t know.

Unable to avoid the confrontation, Alita went upstairs with Jaydon. The room was silent and freezing.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Seated on the sofa, Jaydon sneered at Alita. “If you get pregnant next month, what should I do? Kim can’t satisfy you; now there’s another man. You probably won’t even know whose child it is.”

“Say what you want. I have nothing to say,” Alita said, taking a seat at the dressing table.

“Who is he? Tell me, Jaydon demanded, his eyes filled with anger

“I don’t know who he is,” Alita calmly replied.

“Do you want to die? Just because you don’t want to talk doesn’t mean I can’t do anything. I’ve told you before, if I cat lover, I’ll tear you both apart,” Jaydon threatened, his eyes terrifying.

“Go ahead and kill me. Chop

Jaydon stood “You want to die, but I won’t kill you.

up, or cut me to pieces. It’s up to you. I’d rather die,” Alita retorted.

suffer. I’ll turn your life a living hell!”

“Hmph. Alita shrugged, coldly smirking. She picked up makeup remover and wiped it across her face. “You better start thinking about how you’ll torment me in the future.”

“Don’t be so tough. There will be plenty of times when you’ll cry Jaydon said, walking up to her and pulling her hair from

behind.

Alita Jooked up at him, gently shaking her head. “No, you won’t. From this moment on, I will never shed a tear for you, Jaydon, not even if I die, not even if I leave, not even if you strip me of my clothes and throw me into a crowd. I won’t cry,

never!”

There was no greater sorrow than a broken heart. At that moment when the cane struck, she knew that Jaydon had no affection for her.

.

Jaydon breathed slowly-I will make you cry. We have plenty of time. We’ll take it slow.” His heart felt inexplicably anxious, Every time she felt so hopeless, he had this feeling as if they had reached the end. But he didn’t want this.

“Humph. Alita looked at him and laughed, a laugh filled with desolation and a touch of madness. Would she be trapped in this deadly game until the end? If so, she truly hoped time could shorten.

After Kim and Annabel got engaged, they traveled to Asmein. Later, Kim would officially move into the Lewis family,

Alita continued working. She thought she would be killed by Jaydon that night, but in the end, he didn’t torment her. He changed his clothes and left, and that was it for several days. They only saw each other at the company with no other

interaction.

“Mr. Lewis, your coffee,” Alita said, putting it down and not even looking at his face.

After work today, come with me,” Jaydon suddenly called out from behind her.

“Apologies. I have plans tonight,” Alita refused.

“Cancel them. Grandpa called me this morning and asked me to take you with me. If you don’t go, I’ll have a hard time explaining, he insisted.

Mike asked us to go?

What could it be?’ she wondered.

“I see.” Alita turned her head and nodded.

After work, Alita waited for Jaydon outside the door. When he came out, she didn’t say anything, walking alongside him.

Jaydon despised her emotionless demeanor every day; he almost forgot how she used to smile.

Sitting in the car, Alita placed her hands on her knees, staring ahead, her body tense and on high alert.

Arriving at the address Mike provided, they found themselves at a private hospital. Alita couldn’t understand it. Why did Mike ask them to go to the hospital? They weren’t sick!

As they got out of the car, several people warmly welcomed them and ushered them inside.

“Artificial insemination? The doctor’s words dumbfounded Alita

Jaydon was at a loss for words.

“Yes, this is Mr. Mike Lewis’s instructions. Due to your busy schedules and infrequent intimacy, the chances of natural conception are low. We will now proceed to examine both of you and extract Mr. Jaydon’s sperm for artificial insemination,” the doctor explained.

“Sorry, I have to go.” Alita stood up, stumbling out of the reception room, feeling her face burning. To think they would resort to this method, she realized Everyone in the Lewis family was cold-blooded.

Suddenly, someone grabbed her shoulder. She turned to see Jaydon, who was still smirking. Her anger flared. “What are you laughing at, Jaydon? Do you think it makes you proud?”

“Let’s go, “he said.

Where to?”

“They said we have infrequent intimacy, right? Let’s make up for it today. How about in the car? Are you up for it?” Jaydon pointed to a parked sports car, a suggestive smile on his face.

Alita was a traditional woman and didn’t appreciate this kind of play. She rolled her eyes at him and scolded, “You’re crazy.”

O

She tried to break free from Jaydon’s grasp, but he stepped forward, lifting her up and tossing her into the car.
