SWNOVELS Chapter 3
Chapter 3
They were my best friends. In my previous life, Frederic was crazy for love and destroyed my family. My friends helped me. Though they couldn’t defeat Frederic, I would never forget their help and love for
- me.
So, I told my friends that I wanted to divorce Frederic.
But I didn’t tell them that this was my second life!
Hearing what I said, Greta, Cecelia, and Janessa were silent for a few seconds. Then, they applauded at the same time. “Yes! Syl, you finally made the right choice. Let’s drink!”
“Cheers!” I also shouted happily and raised my skinny arm.
After divorcing Frederic, I would have a free new life. The tragedy in my previous life wouldn’t happen again. I could see my bright future.
We got a little drunk, and it made us bold.
Janessa patted me on the shoulder. “Syl, is there any cute guy you like? Don’t be afraid. Go for love! Frederic is a playboy. You don’t need to be a good girl!”
“You are right.” I looked around drunkenly and noticed one figure. He was young and tall. Was he a college student?
Frederic would fall in love with a young girl. I could be with a young
man.
Holding my drink, I stumbled over and patted the young man on the shoulder. “Hi, do you want a drink? It’s on me.”
The young man turned around. He looked handsome and gentle.
The man looked at me in surprise at first. Then, he shook his head apologetically. “Sorry, I have a girlfriend.”
“What? I’m sorry. I’ll find someone else…” I bowed to the young man. I was so drunk that I didn’t even know what I was saying. I changed my direction and then continued to look for someone cute.
However, I suddenly got tripped in the crowd, and the glass broke on the ground.
I felt dizzy. When I fell to the ground, I actually wanted to sleep there.
“Let me help you up.” The young man offered to help.
I sat on the ground and looked up at him with a red face.
Was that my illusion? I saw Frederic’s face, and he was staring at me coldly.
I tried to stand up but accidentally put my hand on the broken glass. Blood came out. I froze for a few seconds and then passed out.
“Sylvia, do you think that your family can stop me?” In my dream, I saw Frederic’s cruel face again.
I sat in the messy living room, like a crazy woman, and tears fell down desperately.
After knowing that Frederic wanted to divorce me, my parents and the elder members of the Hudson family tried to stop him.
But Frederic wouldn’t listen to them. He was stubborn and paid a heavy price to destroy my family.
The elder members of the Hudson family were objective at first. But
then, they had to help Frederic. In the end, I heard that they accepted Emilia.
With Frederic’s help and insistence, Frederic’s parents gradually agreed to his relationship with Emilia.
More importantly, Emilia was pregnant then.
“Frederic, I have loved you for ten years. Don’t you like me at all?” I covered my face, and tears flew down through my fingers.
“No. Sylvia, I have given you the chance. But you wouldn’t end this peacefully,” Frederic said coldly. Then, his phone rang. The ringtone was exclusive to Emilia. I heard Emilia’s silvery
Voice.
“Mr. Hudson, answer the phone! Mr. Hudson, answer the phone!”
With the sweet ringtone, Frederic left quickly. I felt dizzy, and my heart hurt so much.
In the pain that almost killed me, I suddenly woke up.
I panted heavily and found myself in my bedroom. Outside the window, there was sunshine, flowers, and birds singing.
Did the young man drive me home?
I took a look at my hand, which had been bandaged. My head ached. I rubbed my forehead and looked for the young man. But I heard. Frederic’s voice from outside.
“You guys have fun. I’m not in the mood today.” Frederic leaned gracefully against the guardrail on the second floor, with a cigarette between his fingers. His voice sounded lazy.
Frederic walked to me. I put my hand on the door frame and asked, “Where did you hide him?”
“Who?” Frederic frowned tightly.
“The young man,” I answered.
I had a good impression of the young man. That didn’t happen a lot. I didn’t want to miss him.
Anyway, one month later, Frederic would be crazy about another woman. I needed someone’s comfort to transfer my pain.
Hearing my answer, Frederic seemed to be angry. He looked all over me and grabbed my wrist. Frederic dragged me into the closet of my bedroom. “Shit! Change your clothes. You look like a slut.”
A slut?
I looked down at my breasts. Thanks to the dress, there was a faint
curve.
I didn’t think I was a slut, and a man who didn’t love me had no right to say that.
“Frederic, is it true that you went to the hotel with an actress the other day?” I didn’t move and asked Frederic calmly.
“It’s none of your business.” I wasn’t surprised by his answer.
I said flatly, “That’s also what I want to say. Divorce me, or leave me alone.”
After giving up on Frederic, I felt so good. My emotions wouldn’t be influenced by him anymore. I was the owner of myself now.
Men were so unreasonable. They fooled around but wanted their wives to be faithful.
So did Frederic. He didn’t love me, but we were legally married.
“Do you want to cheat on me?” Frederic sneered. Then, he disdainfully picked up the strap of my dress. “Look at yourself. No man will want you.”
I got rid of his hand and smoothed my dress. “I’ll eat more and work out. Don’t worry. A lot of men will be attracted to me.”
“Sylvia, are you crazy?” Frederic was finally pissed off. He looked at me. “What’s wrong with you?”
Before, I was caring, calm, and reasonable. The old me wouldn’t say such crazy things.
If my father heard what I just said, he would probably pass out.
But I had to be crazy, so I could run away from Frederic, who would be mad soon.
Without Emilia, Frederic wouldn’t divorce me. Our marriage was about our family business. It wasn’t a game. Frederic was rational and good at making correct choices.
He was going to fall in love with someone else. I didn’t want to experience that again.
“I just want a divorce,” I said again.
