I answered quietly, "Nothing, a divorce agreement passed to me by Miss Wagner."
"Her husband cheated five years before, went on his knees to apologize and returned home, then cheated again. Tell me, should Miss Wagner divorce?"
My eyes stayed on Kairo.
He immediately looked away from me.
Kairo still meant to say something, but his phone suddenly showed the trending photo.
When he saw the intimate image of him and Madeline, guilt appeared on Kairo's face.
He stared at my very swollen belly and spoke with guilt.
"What's appearing in the trending searches isn't true."
"I only ran into Madeline at the hospital. She hasn't been well over the years. We only spoke for a short while......"
I nodded lightly.
Seeing the pale lipstick mark on his collar, my thoughts went back to the past.
Ever since Kairo fell for Madeline at first sight, she had used these ways again and again.
Kairo and I argued over and over, and signed divorce papers time after time.
But each time, the family stopped it.
In the end, I truly felt worn out, and secretly signed the divorce papers and got ready to leave with my luggage.
Yet without warning, Madeline then led the kidnappers to the villa.
Her affair with Kairo had already caused a large commotion. Everyone knew Kairo ignored me, who was eight months pregnant, and was deeply involved with Madeline.
The Harrison family's enemies naturally aimed at her.
To keep herself safe, she shoved me, who was eight months pregnant, to take the knife.
The pointed knife went through my body, and she shook as she said, "Anyway, Kairo doesn't care about you. If you die, nobody will feel upset; he surely won't blame me."
Sadly, the kidnappers did not spare her either.
At that urgent moment, Kairo rushed into the villa and saved Madeline.
He didn't even glance at me lying in a pool of blood; he only cared about the small wound on Madeline's hand that didn't even bleed.
I cried out. "Kairo, help me! I still carry your child in my belly!"
But Kairo held Madeline and, without turning, said, "Azalea, Madeline is hurt. I know your health is strong; you can endure it. I'll take her to the hospital first, and you wait."
The pain was so strong that I was almost gone; I didn't even have the strength to shout for help.
I could only watch Kairo leave me.
Up to the moment Cordelia quickly took me to a hospital.
She called Kairo ten times straight, yet he did not pick up, insisting on remaining beside Madeline.
That evening, across the hot searches, there were only pictures of Kairo carrying Madeline, worried and uneasy.
Yet Madeline had no injuries at all.
When dawn grew a little light, he rushed over, but sadly, the baby in my own womb still could not be saved.
Because of damage to my spine, I myself nearly became paralyzed.
In tears, Kairo wept hard, dropped to his knees by my own bedside, and promised to change.
He really did it.
Either to go back to the family or to calm the anger of the Gibson and Harrison families, he sent Madeline overseas.
After that, she vanished with no sign.
Now, she showed up before me once more.
Once more, Kairo's phone ringtone dragged my thoughts back.
He shifted his body to cover it, but I still noticed the caller's name.
[Baby Madeline].
There was a heart bouncing on the phone.
Meanwhile, my note in Kairo's phone was just a plain full name.
Before, I had taken his phone and switched it to [Beloved Azalea].
In the next second, he grabbed it back with a displeased look. I asked why he would not even change the note, and he only replied coldly, "Childish."
Yet now, with no one telling him, he updated Madeline's note.
Simply put, he did not love enough.
With a sarcastic pull, I lifted the corners of my lips.
Quickly, Kairo ended the call, but more texts came from that side.
At the phone, he took a look, his face shifted, and he spoke quietly, "Azalea, something came up at work. I need to step out for a bit."
In my grip, the hand holding the divorce agreement clenched, and I spoke in a rough voice. "Have you made up your mind?"
For a second, Kairo froze, still holding his ground. "It's only company stuff, I'll come back soon."
Once he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out with impatience.
At his figure, I watched and slowly spoke. "Kairo, if you go, our marriage will be fully finished."
Sadly, his footsteps were quick, and my voice was too soft.
Not a single word reached his ears.
