Divorce, Please: The Young Master Does Not Love Me-Chapter 89: Aren’t We Going Together?
A sharp pain pierced Tristan Grayson’s heart. At this very moment, even breathing was painful.
He braced himself, refusing to let her see how pathetic he looked right now.
In this world, no one had ever been able to break him—Tristan Grayson—let alone this woman.
He didn’t understand why her words provoked such a strong reaction in him, but he was crystal clear on one thing.
What was his, was his. And even if it wasn’t, as long as he wanted it, it had to be his.
Mika Summers knew her words must sound like a joke to Tristan Grayson. Still, she had to tell him. She had to let him know just how much she hated him, even if her hatred meant nothing to him.
She let out a self-mocking laugh and threw back the covers to get out of bed. At the sight, Tristan Grayson’s chest tightened. He shot out a hand and grabbed her. "Where do you think you’re going? Don’t forget—you signed an agreement."
"I haven’t forgotten. I’m just going to take a shower." ’That’s right... a shower... I feel so, so dirty... My whole body... every inch of me is filthy... The filth has seeped into my very bones...’
"Perfect. I need a shower, too." ’He didn’t know what was wrong with him, but he was terrified—terrified that she would leave.’
Before Mika Summers could refuse, Tristan Grayson pulled her into his arms.
Tristan Grayson lifted her up to get out of bed. But just as his foot touched the floor, the phone on the nightstand started ringing again.
He set her down on his lap, then turned and reached for the phone. As he picked it up, Mika Summers clearly saw the name on the screen: ’Maggie Monroe’.
For the past three years, that name had been her nightmare. It was the source of all the humiliation he’d put her through.
This time, Mika Summers didn’t hold back as she usually did. She looked up at Tristan Grayson, her voice deceptively calm. "Aren’t we going to shower?"
A flicker of a complex emotion crossed Tristan Grayson’s eyes, but it was quickly replaced by his usual cold indifference. He set her down on the bed. "You go first." With that, he grabbed the phone and stood up, intending to leave the bedroom.
At the sight, Mika’s heart went completely numb. But she wasn’t resigned to it. ’Why should I, Mika Summers, be so humiliated by Tristan Grayson while that other woman gets doted on like a princess? I’ll make her taste what it’s like to be given the cold shoulder. Even if I know I’ll fail, even if I know I’m only setting myself up for more humiliation, I have to try. Just once, I have to try and snatch Tristan Grayson back from her.’
She shot out a hand and grabbed Tristan Grayson’s arm. "Weren’t we going to go together?"
His arm in her grip, Tristan Grayson’s heart suddenly began to beat erratically. His eyes darkened. "Do you know what you’re doing right now?" ’A shower together... Did she have any idea what those words implied? Did this woman really understand...?’
She lifted her head defiantly. "I know..." This was probably the first time she had ever faced Tristan Grayson without fear.
Tristan Grayson casually tossed the phone onto the bed, then turned and swept her into his arms... 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
「Eldoria. Valor Hospital.」
Watching the woman in the hospital bed, who had been calling Tristan Grayson nonstop since she’d woken up, Aiden Avery’s expression was absolutely foul.
’Why doesn’t this woman take a good, long look in the mirror and see herself for who she really is?’
’A woman who won’t even live another three years, yet she’s still deluding herself into thinking she can keep pestering Tristan.’
