Kairo returned again, and Madeline followed behind him.
Behind Kairo, she shyly stayed out of sight. "Azalea, coming in without asking you first, you won't be upset, right? Otherwise, I should leave."
She nervously wrung her sleeves, acting like she was going to go.
Kairo grabbed her and spoke coldly, "If she hadn't sent people to wreck the clinic and cause trouble for you, you wouldn't need to be forced out."
"This is what she has to pay you back!"
I sneered.
"The luggage was already moved here. What are you still acting for? As long as you're not scared of being beaten to death by me in the middle of the night, you can stay here however you want."
Madeline's body froze. She pressed her lips together and looked at Kairo with hurt.
"Kairo, I should just leave."
Kairo's face darkened, and the way he looked at me turned extremely cold.
"Have you caused enough trouble?"
Pain hit my heart, and I pushed back even more.
"Who brought the mistress into the villa? Am I the one causing trouble? If you don't want to look at me, you can just take her and leave!"
Kairo's brow pulled tight, holding back as he spoke, "Azalea, you gave your word to let Madeline leave; you were the one who broke that word first."
"I told you it was not me."
I replied in a cold tone.
"That's enough. I do not want to listen to your arguing anymore. Madeline, I will let her remain. If you cannot accept it, then leave!"
Kairo's eyes turned red as he spoke in anger.
I stared at them coldly and sneered.
"Alright, I will leave."
Kairo had not expected me to agree that quickly; worry crossed his mind.
Madeline tugged at his sleeve, happily said, "Great, Kairo. I can move in."
His focus shifted to Madeline, and he gently touched her head with care.
When he looked back at me again, his tone became softer.
"Okay, you are still pregnant, just think of it as building blessings for the baby. I got you a present, see if you like it."
From his coat pocket, Kairo casually pulled out a present box, inside lay a scarf in an old-fashioned color.
With a gentle smile, Madeline said, "I chose it with Kairo, Azalea. If you like it, then that's good."
"Scarf?" Seeing the diamond necklace from the same brand around Madeline's neck, I coldly laughed.
This scarf was clearly a free item that came with the diamond necklace.
Kairo had given the costly diamond necklace to Madeline, yet handed me the free piece.
I no longer wanted to see the pleased look in Madeline's eyes, so I casually took the scarf and walked upstairs.
The moment I stepped into the room, I tossed the scarf into the garbage bin.
Even without being Mrs. Harrison, I had not dropped so low as to accept free items.
Taking out my phone, I urged Attorney Jade once more.
[No matter the cost, I want to complete the divorce agreement as quickly as possible.]
Once everything was settled, I sat down at the dressing table.
At that moment, Kairo came in.
He reached out, trying to touch my hair, but I moved away right away.
Kairo's eyes grew dim for a second, then he soothed, "Azalea, getting upset is bad for the baby, stop making a scene."
"I assure you, just let Madeline remain here for three days, alright?"
He persuaded, stepping nearer to me.
The scent on his body was very strong, making me feel sick.
I shoved his hand aside, shut my eyes hard for a second.
"Kairo, I already told you, I will leave. You can let her stay for however many days you want."
Kairo's brows pulled together.
He had not thought I would push back this much.
Kairo still wanted to use the old ways to calm me; he turned a little, trying to kiss my lips.
His hand also moved into my collar.
"Azalea, the baby is already eight months old, we can......"
Thinking that before returning, he had kissed and held Madeline.
I only felt that Kairo being close made my whole body reject it.
I said in a calm tone, "Kairo, Madeline is placed by you in the next room, are you not worried she will hear it?"
At once, Kairo stopped what he was doing.
Some guilt passed through his eyes, just when he was about to speak.
Madeline, dressed in a see-through nightdress, showed up at the doorway.
Her tone carried fear, soft and fragile, "Kairo, when I shut my eyes, it's those people from earlier. I'm very afraid. Can you come stay with me for a moment?"
After speaking, she glanced at me with a slight boldness, then softly said, "Azalea, I only need to borrow Kairo for a short time."
I coldly laughed, knowing Madeline was putting on an act again.
Yet Kairo walked out, full of concern.
"Azalea, I will come back soon."
After saying this, he held Madeline and turned to walk out of the room.
I drew in a deep breath, tightened my fists until they went pale, and my chest also felt a heavy ache.
