Chapter Forty Four: Spiteful meeting!8964 copyright protection543PENANA3VIpd7ZFWS 維尼
Richard's POV:8964 copyright protection543PENANAErrFLi8sh8 維尼
I haven't been relaxed these days at all, I kept over thinking, worrying, stressing over many things, all concerning my marriage with Kristen.8964 copyright protection543PENANA0Vhz6nejbi 維尼
I had signed the papers, but only because I wanted to prove to Kristen's parents that I mean what I said, I wanted to show them I will take care of everything, my father's men had taken a copy of the signed paper and took it to Kristen's house.8964 copyright protection543PENANAvEwLGxhaqQ 維尼
They told me her mother was very happy with the paper, and that she didn't care whether it's a copy or the original, all she cared about was that the divorce petition was signed, and she was happy with it.8964 copyright protection543PENANAE1nimzPKQ5 維尼
That's what I wanted too, I wanted time.8964 copyright protection543PENANAqIEy0PWdsS 維尼
But I was extremely restless, too stressed of the consequences of that one signature on that piece of paper, firstly I was very worried about Kristen, what could she be thinking about me those papers? I kept wondering about her feelings towards me at this moment, is she mad at me? Does she have faith in me?8964 copyright protection543PENANAaUbxiUSw6O 維尼
I hope she does, because that's what I want from her, I hope she's strong, because I will fight for her with all my heart. I will fight for what we have, I will fight for us, our marriage, and I won't give up on her so soon.8964 copyright protection543PENANAF3gfjpeF2b 維尼
Hell, I will never give up on her, never in a million years.8964 copyright protection543PENANAoutqaxX203 維尼
My father was not acting as I expected at all, he seems like he knows what I'm thinking of, and he looks happy with it, almost proud of me.8964 copyright protection543PENANA25fXXbpwB4 維尼
I don't know what's wrong with him, or maybe there's something wrong with me and not him, but in any case his behavior towards me has changed, which is confusing me. He doesn't glare at me like before, and he has a small smile on his lips, whenever my mother tells him to help me, he smiles and says " Don't mind him, let him solve his problems by himself" which is totally weird and creepy, my father who always complained and said he isn't proud of me, now he doesn't care of what I'm doing at all.8964 copyright protection543PENANA1RrFR7DMBJ 維尼
I spent these days doing researches, talking with doctors and lawyers about how to find a solution to this wanted divorce, and how to find a solution to speed up the time of the parenting test, one of my high school friends is at law school, and he knows many people who can help me, so I called him since he was my best friend at high school and he's the only one who is trustable at the moment, he told me he's gonna talk with them and call me later on.8964 copyright protection543PENANA8R96MNv600 維尼
If you're wondering how I had the chance to call Tom, my father gave me back my phone, so I didn't waste a second and did what I had to do.8964 copyright protection543PENANAz7ZKdeWbzk 維尼
I stared at myself in the mirror, fixing my tie which my mother made me wear forcefully, we were invited for a family dinner at Sarah's parent's house, so I lazily wore my suit which my mother had chosen for me, and I was currently sitting at the back of my father's car, my father liked to drive his cars by himself, so we his men were driving another car and following us behind, my dad especially liked to drive his car when he wanted to be alone with the family, I have to admit it was something I liked about him.8964 copyright protection543PENANA8IP73Qfken 維尼
Henry and Jess were invited too, as well as Sean. We arrived at Sarah's house and were welcomed by Sarah's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, my parents shook hands and warmly greeted each other, Sarah was standing by them, she was rubbing her hands together looking quiet nervous, and of course she had taken her time to dress up, her face was full of makeup and her dress a little bit longer and more formal than her normal ones, maybe because of our parents. Also she almost looked shy and pitiful. I greeted them casually and formally as I was told to do many times by my parents, but Sarah didn't waste anytime, she ran and put her arms around me.8964 copyright protection543PENANAB6Y1C3AGss 維尼
"Hello, babe!" she said cheerfully, but her voice betrayed her, she sounded nervous and sad, I wanted to ask her what was wrong with her, but didn't. she doesn't deserve any attention.8964 copyright protection543PENANA7r9IDnU7lv 維尼
"Hey" I mumbled and walked past her to their house, as her parents invited us in.8964 copyright protection543PENANAM7oKumFk7J 維尼
After our parents chatted for a while, and it was getting dark, Mrs. Jones invited us to the dining table, I took the furthest chair from both parents, but Mrs. Jones insisted on me sitting by her daughter, I avoided the urge to roll my eyes, and sigh in frustration, instead I took the chair Mrs. Jones told me to take, When Sarah was about sit down beside me, little Sean climbed on the chair she was holding, and sat comfortably beside me, making me smile at him, and thanking him in my head.8964 copyright protection543PENANA2eBqwo1Ttx 維尼
"Dear, why don't you sit by your parents?" Mrs. Jones said, trying her best not to sound agitated or mad, but her voice said otherwise.8964 copyright protection543PENANA8jpTti6VHF 維尼
"But I want uncle Richy" Sean exclaimed as he pouted, and remained seated beside me, Mrs. Jones let go of the matter and stared at the other chair beside me, but Henry was quick enough to sit by me, not letting Sarah sit anymore near me, I smiled to myself and stared at my brother, he only winked at me and bit his lips, then he stared at his wife adoringly while pulling out the chair for her to sit down, I smiled at them and shook my head.8964 copyright protection543PENANAAaUvE2Xq6J 維尼
I'm jealous at his small happy family, but also thankful that Henry always cares about me, and tries to help me in the toughest situations of my life.8964 copyright protection543PENANA8gz7QejK2Y 維尼
The servants brought the dishes, I had to feed myself and little Sean too, but I was okay with it as long as I wasn't forced to sit with Sarah.8964 copyright protection543PENANAhtI9MbuqKL 維尼
My parents talked with Sarah's parents for a while about business and all that, judging from my parent's appearance they didn't look that interested in them, I was talking with Henry and Jess while feeding Sean food, as for Sarah I had no idea what she was doing or she was talking to, because I didn't give a shit.8964 copyright protection543PENANAyqutkJyp2j 維尼
It was a fine dinner until Mrs. Jones decided to ruin it for me.8964 copyright protection543PENANAcSd989sHNA 維尼
"Richard dear, me and George have been thinking a lot these days" she said " since Sarah is already pregnant with your baby, and you guys look so much in love, I can't help but want to urge you guys to get married"8964 copyright protection543PENANANxfOr8vhGH 維尼
I choked on the red wine I was sipping, and stared at her unbelievably, my jaws clenching, my hands formed into a fist on the table, but I managed to be calm and breathed in deeply.8964 copyright protection543PENANA8ZdmE0by8D 維尼
"We think next week is the perfect time, right George?" she as continued, her husband grinned at me and winked, seriously?8964 copyright protection543PENANAYObJjZNAoE 維尼
"Of course, Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, we think it's the right time for Richard to divorcer her current wife and marry Sarah" the so called George said " Sarah is pregnant after all we don't want her to suffer, I think they're adults now and need to be more responsible"8964 copyright protection543PENANAIUUY93MZ9h 維尼
What the hell is he saying? Is that directed towards me? It was a mistake damn it! And that baby isn't mine, my blood was boiling and I was super mad that I wanted to destroy anything coming my way, I couldn't take it anymore, and decided to talk for myself.8964 copyright protection543PENANA5PbdhVh4nK 維尼
"Listen you-" I started, but was interrupted by my brother.8964 copyright protection543PENANA3ZgNlvJiwX 維尼
"Richard knows that sir, he is such a responsible person, he's my brother and I know him too well" Henry said "He won't just let your daughter suffer by herself, If you call being a mother suffering that is, so don't worry"8964 copyright protection543PENANANH9zzUDKZ4 維尼
He glared at me and mouthed "Shut the fuck up and keep your shit together"8964 copyright protection543PENANAbD7lOz5J3s 維尼
"We know that dear " Mr. Jones replied " But we want our daughter to be assured that her future as a bride of the Andersons will come soon, we want her to be in her own home soon"8964 copyright protection543PENANAqtLmmS52e3 維尼
"Don't worry she'll be my wife soon, I'm already in the process of divorcing my wife" I told them " But if she needs assurance, I need assurance too"8964 copyright protection543PENANAnVF2jSYKI8 維尼
Mr. and Mrs. Jones looked at each other, then at Sarah who looked nervous, I stared at her with my brows furrowed, then at her plate, she hadn't touched her food at all, what the hell is wrong with her? Is it the pregnancy?8964 copyright protection543PENANAZ3pxRzH2lT 維尼
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Jones asked, I smirked at them, feeling totally confident now, and of course happy too, now I had a plan. A very good one.8964 copyright protection543PENANAKE9BZxWEFd 維尼
"I need to be assured her baby is mine, that's why I need the pregnancy test to be done next week" I replied, Sarah's fork dropped to the ground with a loud noise, her hands shook but she put her hands under the table to hide her trembling.8964 copyright protection543PENANAVFW3a9dxUM 維尼
"B-but doing the pregnancy test before birth can be harmful for the baby!" Mrs. Jones exclaimed, she looked a little angry, but I kept my temper under control and I enjoyed the situation Sarah was in now.8964 copyright protection543PENANAL4Y7nD3Kyw 維尼
"Not really. I did a good research on the types of pregnancy tests, one of the types can be done right at this stage of her pregnancy, and it's totally safe" I declared, Sarah sighed and stared at me, she looked scared and even more nervous, but she also looked sad, which made me regret enjoying what I was seeing right now.8964 copyright protection543PENANAWpqgqjmuAD 維尼
We kept staring at each other for a while, she bit her lips and I glared at her, that was when I noticed her dark circles, her bags under her eyes, her think face had become even thinner, and she looked extremely pale. I sighed and looked away from her, my hands landed on my father, he was looking at me with a smile on his lips, I smiled back at him , which made his smile even wider and warmer.8964 copyright protection543PENANAEckAVAVZ7Y 維尼
"I think Richard is right" My father surprised all of us by saying. He continued " we need assurance that we're bringing our real grandson into our family, that's why the test can be done next week"8964 copyright protection543PENANAeZIuaW2kPI 維尼
Mr. and Mrs. Jones stared at each other for a while, Mr. Jones was nodding his head in understanding and they stared at their daughter with a smile.8964 copyright protection543PENANAP8N9hBZemY 維尼
" Of course! Sarah will do the test next week, she has never lied to us, she can't be lying to us now, we know our daughter very well" Mr. Jones said and smiled at Sarah, Sarah smiled back at them, but her smile was very weak and didn't reach her eyes, instead she was busying herself with her non-eaten food.8964 copyright protection543PENANAVjGd38SLPX 維尼
"Great then, I'll call you to pick you up, Sarah" I told her, all of the people surrounding us agreed to the date and time of the test, and my father said one of his friends has a laboratory and we'll do it there, because he didn't want reporters to find out, Mr. Jones and his wife were very pleased with the suggestion, the entire time Sarah was looking at me and begging me with her eyes not to do this, but I only smiled at her warmly and glared at her.8964 copyright protection543PENANA5ZunC20X2f 維尼
There was no turning back now, every secret will be revealed soon, and I will get Kristen back. Even if it kills me, I will get her back.8964 copyright protection543PENANAuUvQCAHHno 維尼
My phone was vibrating in my pocket and I stared at the screen, it was Tom, my heart skipped a beat and I excused myself and went out of the room to a corner, and answered as soon as I could.8964 copyright protection543PENANASnm70SthCJ 維尼
"Yes, Tom?" I said.8964 copyright protection543PENANAWU3JeNWRvi 維尼
"Richard, listen. I'm in a hurry so I'll speak shortly, I asked most of my professors and famous lawyers about your problem" he said.8964 copyright protection543PENANAuHX4gpRP1N 維尼
"And?"8964 copyright protection543PENANAguMAqSpeaw 維尼
"They all said one thing"8964 copyright protection543PENANAdwMRwKLa3x 維尼
"What is it? Speak quickly idiot!"8964 copyright protection543PENANA6xd2T8BqgY 維尼
"Calm down, dude. They said you need to not submit it"8964 copyright protection543PENANAgqYypuMDPa 維尼
"Which means...."8964 copyright protection543PENANA2Elpgf9JqD 維尼
"Which means tear the original papers or burn them as soon as you can, that way Kristen will remain your wife forever"8964 copyright protection543PENANATUcteunRLP 維尼
"Thank you, bro. I appreciate it."8964 copyright protection543PENANAJXcP1f4HYb 維尼
"You're welcome"8964 copyright protection543PENANAEyXEskNjis 維尼
"I can't believe the answer was this simple, I thought people tear those papers just in movies"8964 copyright protection543PENANA3YpfxjWLGR 維尼
"Nope, take care of it. Now I have to go, take care, bye!"8964 copyright protection543PENANA9ie3L6Zx9x 維尼
"Bye!" I said smiling to myself, and hung up, I put the phone in my pocket ansd turned around to go back inside, but I was surprised to find Sarah there, behind me, with tears streaming down her eyes.8964 copyright protection543PENANAT4hYXhBsTC 維尼
"What's the matter?" I asked her, feeling bored and tired of all this drama already.8964 copyright protection543PENANA7WpLwbaVXt 維尼
"I'm sorry" she said, I snorted and glared at her.8964 copyright protection543PENANAYK8CMIqLOt 維尼
"Nothing will every change even if you apologize a thousand times, you destroyed my life, and that pregnancy test will be done!" I hissed.8964 copyright protection543PENANATVtSgkScp6 維尼
She shook her head as more tears wetted her cheeks.8964 copyright protection543PENANAF4UV1YLW6k 維尼
"I'm not apologizing to not get the test done" she whispered.8964 copyright protection543PENANAnbmT2INVr6 維尼
I furrowed my brows in confusion and bit my lower lip, what the hell does she want now?8964 copyright protection543PENANA7A4BhS9KSq 維尼
"What do you mean?" I asked.8964 copyright protection543PENANAQDcV0UaKt1 維尼
"It's Kyle's" She spitted out the name with disgust.8964 copyright protection543PENANAYqxJp5MAZR 維尼
"What?" I asked, unsure of what I heard right now was true or not.8964 copyright protection543PENANAjCe7nnDcjX 維尼
"The baby is Kyle's, your high school friend " she answered " He purposely approached me when he knew we were dating and he impregnated me"8964 copyright protection543PENANASrR6f1v7LZ 維尼
I felt like my world was crumbling down, I felt hurt for –god only knows- how mnay times, I asked her to repeat what she just said, and she did, she said Kyle has nearly raped her and her baby is his.8964 copyright protection543PENANADK3O5ftI3p 維尼
"He wanted to get revenge on you" She said, I ran my hands through my hair and shook my head, fuck this messed life, and fuck that fucking bastard, who does he think he is? We have never done anything bad to him, he was the one who raped my wife and now this is his doing too, I felt disgusted and angry, very angry, once again me and Kristen are sad and separated because of that bastard.8964 copyright protection543PENANAmWJv5catDV 維尼
"Why are you telling me now?" I asked Sarah.8964 copyright protection543PENANAzv2x50sY5E 維尼
"I- I was scared " she whispered "And I was foolish enough to think everything will work out and you're gonna like me one day, and we'll be married, but that won't happen, every lie will be revealed one day, and I'm embarrassed for lying to my parents"8964 copyright protection543PENANAXuN5go2jC3 維尼
"Yes" I agreed.8964 copyright protection543PENANATe2HJfz8D8 維尼
"I'm... sorry" She said, and shook her head furiously " It was never my intention to hurt you, but Kyle threatened me, so I had no choice"8964 copyright protection543PENANAg9qpxdTCdT 維尼
"I understand, but you too have to pay for what you've done, are you gonna help me fix it?" I asked her.8964 copyright protection543PENANAbB4vCagO1y 維尼
"Yes" She replied and smiled weakly at me, we both soon went back inside and told them the test will be done in it's exact date we all have agreed on, when the dinner was over I called Sarah outside and we started talking about ways to get Kyle in his own trap, No matter how much she apologizes, I will never forget her and she's still the same old whore according to me.8964 copyright protection543PENANAa08YXMANhU 維尼
But I was happy, beyond happy to know there's a chance that I can get my wife back.8964 copyright protection543PENANA4WIZFOfCEE 維尼
