You‘re Just My Ex-Husband,My Lord

Before they got married, Laurent already knew that Dave Washington had another woman in his heart, yet she still chose to marry him because Dave had always been the one she loved. She loved Dave, but his heart belonged to another woman. It was said that this woman loved another man, who happened to be Dave's illegitimate half-brother. Laurent believed that having a child would secure their shaky marriage. Until one day, the woman Dave loved finally told him, "Actually, the person I love is you." Laurent had devoted her youth and energy to this sensational and messy love story, only to helplessly watch it collapse. Heartbroken, she chose to divorce. She thought Dave's infidelity would make her easily give up on the house, car, and property during the divorce, with the only request being custody of their daughter. But to her surprise, Dave insisted that she was unfit to raise their daughter and refused to give her custody. In order to fight for her daughter, she embarked on a long and exhausting legal battle. She said to him, "You're so persistent—aren't you worried your lover is waiting for you anxiously?" Dave smiled and replied, "If you have time to worry about her, you might as well get a new lawyer." In a fit of rage, she threw a cup of water in his face. "Dave Washington, you're despicable!" Yes, every lawyer she hired was bought off by him with large sums of money. Finally, disheartened, she gave up custody of their daughter and decided to leave the country to heal. But he sent someone to intercept her at the airport...

Chapter 35- just cry it out

Looking at Dave's expression, could it be that he was afraid she might take her own life? 

To be honest, she did have a fleeting thought about it earlier, when his words had stung her deeply. But after calming herself, she knew that dying was the weakest way out, and she would never resort to that. 

Still, if pretending to harbor such thoughts could make him agree to a divorce, she didn't mind putting on a show. 

So, she took a step back, her face showing despair, and turned to pick up the knife he had thrown aside. 

"What are you doing?" 

Dave shouted, lunging forward to grab her and pulling her into his arms, holding her tightly against his chest. 

Laurent didn't struggle or say a word. She simply stood there, staring at him with an unnervingly calm expression. Her once-clear eyes now reflected a boundless emptiness. 

Dave's jaw tightened as he pressed his lips together in a stern line, his gaze cold and angry as he stared at her.
