Chapter 144: Chapter 144

Hawley was totally gobsmacked, didn’t see that coming her saying ‘yes’ so breezily

The threshold of the Ramirez family is sky-high, they’re loaded, and she’s not taking a dime?

Letitia chimed in again, “When do we do the paperwork? I’ll cooperate, no strings attached.”

“…What’s your game here?”

“Not everyone is head over heels for money and status,” Letitia said. “Mr. Hawley, you better talk some

sense into Elgin, get him to agree to the divorce.”

Phedra butted in, “What are you saying? Is Elgin the one who doesn’t want to split?”

Letitia cracked a smile. “You hit the nail on the head.”

Both Hawley and Phedra’s faces changed in a flash

“Elgin, you… Hawley started tentatively, you don’t want a divorce?

Elgin nodded, “That’s right”

“I swear you’ve lost your marbles! Hawley shot up, fuming. “Aren’t there plenty of fish in the sea for

you? And you refuse to divorce!”

“I only want Letitia Elgin laid his cards on the table, calm and uncompromising.

Hawley had watched him grow up and knew him inside out.

He knew that Elgin meant business this time

Even Phedra’s jaw dropped, and she gave Letitia several double-takes, “Did you feed Elgin some kind

of love potion… to make him so crazy about you?”

Hawley cursed, “Trouble! This woman is trouble!”

“I don’t want to hear divorce from anyone’s mouth again. Elgin wrapped his arm around Letitia and

spoke softly, “Grandpa, please go back.”

Letitia stood by his side. In that moment, she truly felt like the lady of the house.

The man beside her was her husband, the man she’d walk through life with, and the lover whod take

on the world for her, no questions asked.

Elgin’s choice to stand by her was unwavering, and that love was deep and solid.

Letitia never expected him to stand up for her in front of the Ramirez clan.

Such a pity, though, Elgin’s love was something she couldn’t afford to accept, nor did she dare to

Seeing Hawley hadn’t moved, Elgin repeated, “Grandpa, please go.”

“Don’t you remember who Letitia’s father is! How Dr. Sanders killed your father! Her father took your

father’s life, it’s a blood feud, and yet you love her so much. One of these days… you’ll end up dead at

her hands too!”

Hawley stormed off, seething, and Phedra quickly followed.

For her, the more estranged Hawley and Elgin were, the better!

The hospital room fell into a brief silence.

After a while, Letitia finally spoke, “Do you really like me that much…

It was surprising to her, almost overwhelming.

Elgin loosened his tie, standing in front of the window, “Yes. Letitia, you’ve won.”

She let out a chuckle.

‘Feeling smug, huh?” Elgin raised an eyebrow. The me who once looked down on you now can’t stand

to lose you.”

“But I don’t love you.” Letitia stated, her tone flat and uncaring.

Elgin’s lips pressed into a thin line, his aura tuming sharp in an instant, “Say that again?”

“But I don’t love you” Letitia enunciated slowly, “Elgin, I only feel hate for you. Hate you for destroying

my happy family, hate you for taking away my child…

Then keep hating Elgin slammed the door on his way out.

stood still for a while, then suddenly collapsed onto the bed, as if all her strength had been drained.

had a feeling the manage was now inescapable, Elgin wouldn’t let her go.

bound to live this life with him.

A site with a devil, for etemity what a terrifying thought!

A week later the doctor announced that Letitia could be discharged

Elgin came to pick her up personally.

And after taking advice from Samson and Ranen, he even bought a bouquet of flowers.

Samson, “No woman can resist flowers”

Ranen, “Mr. Ramirez, all women love gifts.”

Eigin bought the most expensive imported roses from the flower shop. He stood at the hospital

entrance, leaning against the car, suited and booted a dashing figure of wealth and beauty.

Passersby sneakily sized him up, and some girls whipped out their phones to snap a pic, all wondering

who he was waiting for.

Letitia appeared, wearing a mask.

With her hair softly draped over her shoulders, she was petite and slender. She glanced at Elgin before

getting straight into the car.

Elgin was totally snubbed, along with the flowers in his hand.

His face darkened, and without a word, he tossed the bouquet into the trash

No point in keeping them if the intended recipient wasn’t into it!

Im going back to work. Letitia said “I’ve been sketching designs while in the hospital.”

“Is this your way of asking me?”

“Im working to create value and profit for you. My role isn’t just your wife, your toy; I’m also the chief

designer of Ramirez Romantica.”

Elgin, sitting back with his legs crossed, replied coolly, “You think ‘Ramirez Romantica’ can’t run without

you?”

Letitia was startled, “What are you planning?”

“I can support your career, and I can also destroy it. You should get that”

“Elgin, what I hate most is this side of you, always so ready to wreck what I care about the most!”

“I’ve been very accommodating, Elgin replied coolly. “If I wanted to, I could keep you in Ivory Towers

forever.”

“I am not your canary! Nor am I a woman to be caged!”

Letitia glared at him, her protest loud and clear.

She was genuinely afraid that Elgin would keep her in Ivory Towers indefinitely, completely at his whim.

To coddle her when he was in a good mood, to amuse him.

And when he was in a bad mood, she would have to bear the brunt of his temper, his rage.

That wasn’t the life Letitia wanted

‘Til let you go to work, Elgin lifted her chin with his hand, “but on one condition.”

“What?”

“Trying for a baby with me.”

Letitia’s face turned pale She had just had a miscarriage, lost her own child, and Elgin was already on

What did he take her for? A baby-making machine?

“Do you really want kids that bad?” Letitia asked. “There are plenty of women who’d be willing to have

me?”

I only want a child with you”

Letitia felt a tug at her heartstrings. Sometimes, a man’s sweet nothings can really hit you right in the

feels. Elgin only wanted a kid with

“But I don’t want to have your child.” Letitia glared at him. “Every time I see you, I’m reminded of the

child I lost!”

Elgin said. “1took one child from you, so I’ll give you another”

“That was afo, Elgin, not some toy, not an item you can just swap out.”
