RedNovelChapter 4
When Elaine cto, she blinked against the harsh fluorescent lighting, the antiseptic smell told her she was in
hospital.
Her head still throbbed, She glanced around the room and spotted Alistair.
When he noticed she was awake, he just frowned."l apologize, | was too hasty." he muttered, still frowning. "But |
only pushed you because | saw you slap Vivian first."
He pinched the bridge of his nose like he was dealing with an annoying business problem rather than his
hospitalized wife. "She's pregnant. | already told you she'll be gone after the baby's born. Your position isn't
threatened. Why would you do that?"
"I didn't touch her!"When she heard him convicting her of a crshe never committed, Elaine could barely
breathe. Despite her situation She stubbornly resisted. At that moment, it was hard to tell which hurt worse-her
throbbing head or her shattering heart.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Save it," he cut her off. "I saw it with my own eyes."
Elaine stared at him for a moment, then let out a laugh.
"Right. You only ever see what you want to see, don't you? Convenient how you're blind to everything else."
Her accusation directly caught Alistair off guard. For half a second, he knew exactly what she meant the love
letters he'd "accidentally" found years ago, the ones that revealed she'd been crazy about him since college.
His expression hardened, but before he could respond, his phone started buzzing.
He stood up with that irritating smoothness, tugging at his cuffs like he was about to step into a board meeting.
"| just needed a wife to solve troubles for me."
Then he just... walked out. Didn't even look back as he answered his damn phone.
She always knew the truth, he still love his dead girlfriend,He'd just swooped in to save her father's company
and then she married him. Wish one day he will treat her as a real wife.
Thank freaking god it was almost over.
Alistair ghosted her completely after that, but his pregnant side piece made sure to keep her updated with an
endless stream of taunting texts.
Look at Alistair's amazing homemade soup!He worked at hin order to be with her, and that today he even
turned down a collaboration worth hundreds of millions for her.
Elaine just hit delete, delete, delete.
By day four of her hospital stay, Kate, who is Elaine's best friend, finally burst through the door.
"Okay, where the hell is your so-called husband?" She scanned the hospital room. "You're lying here, he can't
even send his assistant's assistant to bring you a cup of coffee?"
Elaine smiled, where to even start?
Kate was her only best friend. When she finished, Kate smacked the tray table hardly.
"Are you KIDDINGright now? The guy literally shoved you down a staircase, and what you're still Mrs. Chase?
You've been waiting for him to caround for what-years now? Has he ever, even once, care about you really
feel?"
Nope. Not once.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe has waitting for him three years, and watching Alistair parade an endless stream of Sophia-lookalikes
through their life. And now he was having a baby with one of them.....
Elaine let out a long breath. "| filed the divorced papers."
The words were barely out when the door banged open. There stood Alistair, face like a storm about to break, his
voice dangerously soft.
"Divorce??"
