Chapter 31 Letâs Get A Divorce Alston drooped his eyes. It was a soft posture but he still looked indifferent and defiant.
He looked at Cynthia like her naughty child. âYou donât have to worry about my business. If you like, I left your two villas at Maple Garden, which are bigger and better than the one she lives in!â
Cynthia frowned. âYou know thatâs not what I meant.â
âAlston, you know that I care about you. If you didnât accept me from the beginning, I wouldnât have been in love with you, but you accepted me!â Cynthia clutched her dress tightly. âBut you decisively gave up on me after Hulda came back... Iâm not a generous person. I canât share you with others.â
She looked up at Alston. âAlston, Iâm not so shameless. I wonât pester you. If you want to be with Hulda, just tell me directly. I will agree to divorce you!â
Alston clenched her hand tightly. He felt a rage in heart..
He was angry as she always mentioned divorce and wanted to give up on him so easily!
âHulda just got back. Many people are monitoring her. Youâre still useful to me. I wonât divorce you. And your mother wouldnât want us to get divorced.â
All of sudden, Cynthia seemed to feel her brain was exploded. No wonder that after Hulda came back, he was reluctant to divorce. She turned out to be just a pawn.
But his last sentence made her despair like a withered tree. She opened her mouth, and her voice was trembling. âI... I get it.
Our marriage was an accident. I can understand!â
âWhen you handle those people, Iâll make a place for your beloved. Then weâre quits. We donât owe each other anything.â
They were quits?
Looking at her stubbornness and resolution, he gritted his teeth with anger. He was shrew businessman, who liked to settle accounts with everyone clearly, but he hated Cynthiaâs being so courteous with him.
âCynthia, am I too kind to you? You think that if you divorce me, everything will be fine?â
Alston had been aggressive since childhood. He was used to taking everything under control. Although he loved Cynthia, his deep eyes were full of oppression when seeing her like this.
Looking at his expression, Cynthia suddenly became scared and subconsciously took several steps back.
âYour mother had some basic checkâups today. Her body was severely weakened. She needs expensive imported medicines and instruments to continue her life every day. Do you think you can afford it with your meager salary if you leave me?â
Cynthia frowned. She just read her motherâs inspection report. The situation was really serious, and the numbers on the bill were astonishing.
âI... Fâll figure it out by myself.â
She looked at Alston stubbornly. She occupied the position of his first love. Knowing that Alston didnât like her, she couldnât spend his money anymore and didnât want to be a gold digger.
Alston gave a sneering smile. âLetâs put aside the medical expenses. I took your mother from Beckâs hand. Do you think he will let it go? If I guess right, he will always stare at the movements of your mother and you. As Iâm on your back, he dare not hurt you. But...â
When he said this, he approached Cynthia and whispered in her ear, âBelieve it or not. If I leave you alone, before tomorrow, Beck will take your mother away from the hospital and hide her so that you will never find her.â
It seemed his words or his burning breath made Cynthia canât help but shudder. Her heart was full of fear and anxiety.
She finally knew why those people were afraid of Alston.
He always poked their weak spot and controlled them firmly.
It was just that Alston was too kind to her before. She never thought that Alston would use this trick on herself.
Cynthia bit her lower lip tightly and couldnât refute anything. She found that she really couldnât save her mother without Alstonâs help.
Looking at her lips trembling. Alston knew that he scared her. He soon put away his oppressive momentum.
He patted her hair and said softly, âAlright. As long as you are obedient and play your part, no one dares to touch you and your mother.â
Cynthia clenched her hand tightly. She nodded clumsily. âI will!â
âWell. Letâs go back to the ward!â Alston reached out with his big hand and want to pull Cynthia. She avoided. him naturally.
âMom is already asleep. She had a light sleep. Weâd better not disturb her.â
Alston frowned slightly. He felt that there was something wrong with her attitude, but he couldnât figure it out. clearly. He felt something begin to get out of control. This feeling made him very annoyed, even a little.
scared.
âI come to tell you that Iâm going to stay with my mother today and wonât go back at night.â Cynthia lowered.
her head and her voice was soft.
Alston nodded. âGood. Iâm going to go to Orleans on business next week for a week. You can stay in the hospital. This hospital was owned by our company not long ago. I have arranged someone else to protect you. You donât have to worry that Beck will get you into trouble.â
Alston never let people down. Everything was arranged in good order.
Cynthiaâs heart tightened. She nodded to him. âGot it. Thank you!â
After Alston left the hospital, he went to Orleans for a business trip as he said and didnât come back for a week. During this period, Lynn asked about him numerous times but Cynthia made an excuse and tricked her.
On Sunday, Cynthia went to her motherâs doctorâs office to find out about her treatment this week.
When she passed the front desk, she heard several nurses talking together. Cynthia didnât take it seriously. When she was about to walk by, she suddenly heard a few words.
âOrleansâ and âEarthquakeâ.
Her heart skip a beat. She suddenly had a bad feeling, so she hurried up and asked, âWhat are you talking about? What happened Orleans?â
She rushed to speak and the nurse was startled. One stammered, âJust now, the news said... there was a magnitude seven earthquake in Orleans, which was particularly serious!â
Cynthiaâs mind went blank, full of buzzing sound, She couldnât hear anything around her.
She was keeping thinking about one thing.
Alston was on a business trip in Orleans and hadnât come back yet!!!
