Chapter 219 Two Choices
Luke looked at Mandy with a newfound coldness.
"Mandy, I always thought that you were just a headstrong and self-willed woman, and not bad- natured. However, I never expected that you would do so many things behind me. I'm so disappointed in you."
The disgust in Luke’s eyes shook Mandy to her core. She looked at him pitifully and pleaded, "This is all m y fault, Luke. I shouldn't have allowed my jealousy to get the best of me. Can you... Can you please forgive m e for the sake of our child?"
"Luke, you have to be clear that Susan is an outsider, and Mandy is your wife. Don't put the cart before the horse,” Madam Jenkins chimed in. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
She did not like both Susan and Mandy. It was just that Mandy was bearing Luke’s kid, so she had no choice but to side with Mandy during a time like this.
A sarcastic glint flashed across Luke's eyes, "Mandy, it doesn’t matter if I forgive you or not. Do you know who gave this recording to me? Julian Shaw."
Luke pushed everything to Julian, and he did not tell Mandy that he was the one who installed the bug on her phone.
"Julian Shaw..." Mandy became nervous and she slumped onto the couch, "My uncle said that Julian went for him. He must have installed a bug on his phone. Otherwise, there is no way he could've recorded our conversation.”
The more Mandy thought about it, the more she grew nervous. "It's all over. If Julian Shaw knows I’m the one behind all of this, he would never let me off. He would never let the Ainsleys off."
Suddenly, she grabbed Luke's arm and said, "Luke, you have to help me. Although this is all my fault, I did it because I love you too much.”
Bending over, Luke grasped her chin and said, "You love me too much?"
"Of course. I love you more than anything in this world,” Mandy replied without any hesitation.
As if he had heard something funny, Luke let out a guffaw. Then, when he looked at Mandy again, the coldness in his eyes shook Mandy to her bone.
"So your love is getting someone to create a car accident and causing me to lie unconsciously in the hospital for three days and three nights?"
The moment she heard what Luke said, Mandy froze.
Madam Jenkins did not believe what she had just heard. She thought her mind or her ears were playing tricks on her, so she pressed on. "What are you talking about, Luke? What do you mean by that?"
"H-Hubby..." Mandy stammered, "Have... Have you lost your mind?"
"Do you still remember this man?" Luke smiled and showed Mandy a photo on his phone.
Mandy's face turned pale when she saw the photo of the young man.
"Well, he was captured and confessed a lot of things." Luke looked indifferently at Mandy. "Of course, including the deed that you did. If it were not for me, the police would have come to arrest you right now."
"He's captured... Idiot! How dare he sell me out!" Mandy mumbled, her face contorted with rage.
Luke released his grip on her. He did not know how to explain his feelings right now. Finally, Mandy showed her true colors.
He could not believe that he had lived with such a person for so long, and he even let her become pregnant with his child. Luke felt that he was the most idiotic person in the world.
"It’s you!” When the implication of their conversation finally sank in, Madam Jenkins's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Mandy. She rushed forward and gave a slap on the other side of her cheek, "Do you know that Luke almost died at that time?!"
As if she did not know pain at all, she just looked at Luke and pleaded, "Please listen to me, Luke. I... I didn't know it would be so serious as well. I told that man to create a small accident, and I was standing not far away at that time. My objective was to appear beside you right after the accident. I thought you'd be badly shaken at that time, and I wanted to be the first person to comfort you so that it would pull our relationship closer..."
Mandy suddenly dissolved into tears as she continued, "Do you know how shocked I was when I saw you crash into the tree? I didn't dare to go up to you, but I'm the one who called the ambulance. Please trust me, Luke. I never wanted to take your life. I did s o many things because I love you too much."
Mandy was bawling her eyes out, yet Luke’s gaze was marred with disgust. Her love was too much for him.
If it were not for her, that accident would not have happened. If the accident did not happen, he would still be Susan right now, and his life would not be so miserable.
Mandy’s selfishness almost destroyed his entire life!
No, not his entire life. He still had a chance to right the wrong.
The way Luke looked at Mandy froze her to the core. "I can let you go regarding my accident, but I need to give Julian an answer. I have already prepared the divorce agreement. After the baby is born, we will go through the divorce procedure right away. I'll take the baby with me, and you have to leave."
"No," Mandy shouted, disbelief accented her voice." I've given so much to you. You can't divorce me!
Besides, the law will not allow you to divorce me right after the baby is born!"
Mandy was right. The law forbade a man to file for a divorce during the growth and lactation period of a kid.
Luke sneered, "It isn't an issue if the divorce is filed by the wife's side. You don’t have a choice now, Mandy. If you agree to the divorce, I can help you handle Julian. However, if you don't... I guess I don't need to tell you what Julian will do to you and the Ainsleys, right?”
Luke was as cold as a demon.
Mandy could not help but shake profusely. "You... You won't do this to me! One day the couple hundred days grace. I still have your kid, Luke."
"I guess both you and I know where the kid will come from." Luke gritted his teeth and said, "There are only two choices for you, Mandy. This is all I can do for you as your husband."
Right now, he just wanted to get as far as possible from Mandy. If it were not for the kid in her stomach, h e would have chased her out of the house already.
Mandy looked at Luke and mumbled, "Did you... Did you never fall in love with me at all?”
"Never,” Luke answered flatly.
Suddenly, all the life left her and she slumped onto the couch like a marionette with its string cut.
"TH leave the divorce agreement here. You can refuse t o sign it, but I'll give you only three days. After three days, if you still don't agree with my suggestion, I can't
guarantee what Julian will do to you."
With those words, Luke turned around coldly and left.
Divorce...
Mandy looked at the agreement on the table and suddenly shouted, "I'll never sign it, Luke! Even if it costs my life! I'll never sign it!"
However, Luke did not stop once in his tracks.
