SWNOVELS Chapter 4
Chapter 4
Lucas' face turned ice-cold in an instant. "Chloe, are you threatening me?"
He never believed that Chloe truly wanted a divorce. He knew her situation all too well.-
Going back to the Meadows family wasn’t an option for her. Besides, she loved him so much that she had even tried to kill herself because of him.
They hadn’t contacted each other for three years, and she never mentioned divorce. Now that he was back, she was talking about it.
There was only one reason: Linda was pregnant, and it had shaken her to the core. She was using this to push him into breaking up with Linda.
"I'm not threatening you. I've just had a change of heart. I married you thinking you would come around, and after you left, holding onto the title of Mrs. Moncada was more about competing with Linda.
"But now, it seems pointless. Linda's pregnant, and the kid is innocent. I don't want to hold onto being your wife and keep you three from being together."
In the past, Chloe was driven by youthful fury, fueled by the double betrayal of her boyfriend and best friend. She was holding onto a grudge.
Marrying Lucas was not only because of the her family’s troubles but also to ensure Lucas and Linda didn’t have an easy ride.
But three years had shifted Chloe's perspective, and she actually had some fun during those years.
She didn’t want to waste her life in this sham of a marriage.
Lucas’ gaze sharpened as he looked at Chloe through the rearview mirror. So, it was all because Linda was pregnant.
"Chloe, don’t you feel guilty saying that? If it was so easy to move on, why did you attempt suicide back then?"
At the mention of this, Chloe’s eyes darkened slightly. Her suicide attempt wasn’t entirely because of Lucas.
After a brief silence, Chloe flicked her hair. Her fingers casually ran through her soft waves. She slightly lifted her head, exuding an air of allure.
She regained her lazy demeanor. "If you don’t agree, then forget it."
Lucas scoffed coldly, shifting his gaze away from her stunning face. Her bringing up divorce somehow made him inexplicably angry. For a moment, his heart felt like it was being squeezed.
He thought she really wanted a divorce, but it seemed he had overestimated her. She was just using this to test and pressure him, and Lucas' disdain for her grew.
"Chloe, you’re really disgusting."
This was the second time Chloe heard Lucas say this.
The first was when they returned from summer camp, and Lucas confessed he was with Linda.
Chloe was stunned for five seconds before rushing over and slapping Linda several times.
Lucas pulled her off Linda, became furious, and broke up with her on the spot.
In her rage, Chloe screamed, "You wanna break up? Over my dead body. I would rather drag you both down to hell with me."
Back then, Lucas called her disgusting.
That heart-wrenching pain, through countless days and nights, felt like a knife in her heart. It was one bloody wound after another, too ghastly to bear.
But over time, she became numb. The wounds of the past formed a thick scab, like armor. So now, when she heard him curse again, she felt nothing.
They soon arrived at Moncada Estate.
As they got out of the car, they saw Tara standing at the entrance. Her face didn’t show the joy of seeing her son after three years. Instead, it was severely grim.
Upon seeing Lucas, she immediately accused, "I heard you brought that little bitch back too?"
Lucas’ stern face turned towards Chloe.
Chloe spread her hands innocently. "I didn’t say anything. You see, I didn’t even have the chance to call."
