I looked at Melinda in disbelief. She lowered her head and she didn’t dare to look into my eyes because she was guilty.
Leon was the name Melinda and I agreed on when we first discussed what name to give our child.
Even Melinda did not change the name at all and transferred it to Kevin and his son!
Was she going to do this to tear my heart out...
“Melinda... How can you use the name you and I gave to give to the child you and another man gave birth to?”
Melinda immediately scolded me in a low voice, “Jefferson! Don’t talk nonsense!”
I suddenly came to my senses and watched Melinda hurriedly explain to Kevin. Only then did I realize that the sentence just now made Kevin pale.
My throat tightened and I subconsciously wanted to step forward to explain a few words.
But Melinda’s vigilant and sharp eyes stopped me in my tracks.
Kevin felt uncomfortable for a long time and said a lot in a discontinuous manner, “If your child and I are used to making up for the regret that you and Jefferson have no children, then I wish I had never let you give birth to this child! Melinda, I love you. You can despise me and neglect me, but Leon is innocent. I don’t want him to be born to make up for the regret between you and others.”
He continued, “I know Jefferson can’t accept us as father and son. I thought of this seven years ago, so I have always listened to you and waited for you in another city with my child. Today, you suddenly said that you could bring me here and I thought... I could be with you forever, but looking at Jefferson’s attitude... Melinda, send Leon and me back, please. I don’t want to… I don’t want to take the child to see other people’s faces.”
Melinda was so anxious that she agreed to everything he said.
“Kevin, look at me. Leon is your and my child. He is not a regret for me or anyone else. I love you and my child! I have never and will not despise you or neglect you and your child. I will give you the best I can. Don’t care what his attitude is! This is my home, the house I bought, my Blair family! No one dares to look at you and Leon in this family! Be good, don’t think too much, the baby in my belly doesn’t want to see his father sad.”
Melinda’s words were heartbreaking to me!
Yes, every brick and tile here belonged to her, Melinda. What did it have to do with me, Jefferson?
I smiled bitterly.
After Kevin and his son left, the divorce agreement was handed over.
“Sign it.”
Melinda glanced casually, picked up the clothes and passed me by without caring.
“Jefferson, you are not young anymore. You will be forty next year. Don’t make such jokes anymore. I have been married to you for twenty years. Now I am getting divorced. How do you want those media partners outside to see me?”
I sneered.
Yes, this was the current situation between Melinda and me.
All the changes started with the success of Melinda and me starting a business.
The cooperation signed by me ten years ago directly made our small company become the leading enterprise in the city.
However, Melinda and I had a disagreement on the allocation of positions.
I wanted to be the general manager and continue to do business.
But Melinda wanted me to return to the family and be a good husband and father.
Later, she made the decision for me and recruited a new person to replace my position.
I was angry, but I chose to keep quiet under the persuasion of Melinda’s mother.
But after that, Melinda and I were no longer close.
I tried many ways to get closer to her, but there was always an invisible and unbreakable veil between us.
