Reflecting on the past, Darwin, driven by a sense of responsibility, married Serenity even when her troubles were unrelated to him.
Over the years, Serenity not only grappled with disability but also rejected intimacy with Darwin.
The Larson family faced the prospect of not having an heir.

Darwin eventually divorced Serenity.
His parents, envisioning a daughter-in-law of purity and kindness, were disappointed in Serenityâs apparent deceit, which had ensnared their son.
Now Serenity was staying there in the maternity ward.
The question remained-What did she want to do?
Darwinâs parents, Freddie and Diana, were almost beside themselves with concern.
Particularly, Freddie, wearing a stern expression, addressed his son, âCome out, Darwin.
â
Darwin, holding Serenity, met her gaze.
She gently shook her head, tears welling up.
Freddie, adopting an unfavorable tone, addressed Serenity, âMiss Flores, I need a private conversation with my son.
I trust you donât object.
â
Serenity shook her head.
âDad, I wouldnât dare.
â
Freddie, however, sneered.
âMiss Flores, please refrain from calling me that.
You and my son are already divorced.
The Larson family is modest and Darwin is a sincere and dutiful man.
Youâre a bit beyond our league.
Step outside, Darwin.
I have something to discuss with you.
â
Darwin cast a reassuring glance at Serenity.
Exiting the ward with Freddie and Diana, Darwin received a harsh slap from his father right in the corridor.
Freddieâs enraged voice resonated.
âHave you lost your mind? This woman is carrying the child of a rapist.
I canât fathom why you havenât severed ties with her.
Darwin, we sent you overseas for education, not to let love cloud your judgment.
Moreover, itâs fine if you genuinely like each other, but if she doesnât occupy your thoughts, why let yourself be at her mercy?â
Dianaâs tears flowed incessantly.
âDarwin, end things with her.
There are plenty of good women out there.
Do this for yourself!â
Gently touching his face, Darwin winced.
Freddieâs forceful slap had left his face slightly swollen.
With a helpless tone, Darwin raised his head and uttered, âDad, Mom, I understand youâre concerned for my well-being, but Iâve been married to Serenity for years.
I canât abandon her now.
â
Freddieâs frustration poured out.
âYouâre eager to care for her, but has she ever reciprocated? Her heart belongs solely to Leonel.
Weâve read her diary.
