Gorgeous Couple’s Sweet Love novel Chapter 19

When I went back to my room and lay in bed, I was still thinking about Benjamin's words. What he said really encouraged me.

I turned my head and looked out the window. I felt I could never escape, so I picked up my phone and called the company's HR department. The person on the other side picked up and shouted, "Emma, are you trying to get yourself fired?"

It'd been a few days since the party at the company. I hadn't gone to work ever since and never asked for leave.

Indeed, I was trying to get myself fired.

I didn't want to stay in the same company with Charlotte.

"Mr. Chavier, I will resign tomorrow morning. Assign all my work to others. I'll quit."

My husband's cheating, emotional betrayal, loss of property, and physical abuse made me exhausted and painful.

But even so, the earth would not stop turning because of me, nor will darkness fade because of me alone.

The sun will still rise in the east and set in the west.

The tides will still rise and fall.

This was probably how the world was, a world I could do nothing about.

The only choice I had is to change my working environment.

"Okay! Don't come back forever!"

Mr. Chavier from the Human Resources Department directly hung up my phone. I left my phone aside indifferently, lay down for a while and got up.

I opened my wallet and found that there were only about ten dollars in it, so I took my card and went downstairs to the nearby market to get some groceries.

Unexpectedly, when withdrawing money from the ATM, I found that my bank account had been frozen, and I couldn't move the money inside.

I was not stupid, I immediately called Steve.

As soon as he picked it up, I asked: "What's wrong with my bank card? Steve, did you have to go this far?"

Steve asked puzzledly: "What are you talking about?"

I said angrily: "The bank card I often used, wasn't it applied for with your ID card? I saved all my money in it."

Before the divorce, I never thought about drawing any boundaries between us. But now before I could get myself a new card, he moved on me.

Steve explained: "I don't know about this. It may be my mother. How much money is in there? I will transfer it to you now."

After the divorce, Steve's attitude actually got better.

I smiled and said sarcastically, "So generous? If so, why don't you return my property to me?"

"Emma, don't take it too far." Steve's voice was obviously unhappy. He said: "There are some things that I can't make decisions about alone, but I will help you as far as I can."

He paused and said: "After all, we used to married."

Used to be married?

This was not the first time he has said this.

But it was just another one of his bulls*it lies. The pain on my body reminded me deeply that the man on the other side of the phone was a total scumbag.

I smiled sarcastically and said: "Don't worry, I will personally take back what you owe me, but please transfer the 23,000 bucks in my bank card on Paypal."

"Sure."

Steve's answer was very simple. Two minutes after he hung up, he called me in shock and said, "Emma, you even blocked me on Paypal?"

"I've just unblocked you, you can make the transfer now."

I hung up the phone and received Steve's transfer. When I was about to delete him again, he sent a message that was disgusting.

He shamelessly pleaded: "Emma, in fact, I don't want to be with Charlotte at all. I still love you in my heart, but you have pushed me into a desperate situation. Let's leave the past in the past, okay? Charlotte's child___I really don’t want it. You are still young. After we remarry, shall we have another child?"

Sure, abso-f*cking-lutely sure. Why not?

I really didn't expect that he would be this shameless.

He'd really broadened my horizon yet again.

Charlotte was suffering from the child in her belly, but he said these disgusting things to me here.

What he said made me wonder what he said to Charlotte behind my back when he was cheating with her.

It was disgusting to even think about it.

I didn't want to return Steve's message. Who knew what he would say to me the next day? Maybe he would be cursing me all over again.

Besides, there was no way I would get back together with him. The man broke my heart and even made me lose my child.

I directly deleted Steve's Paypal and thought about re-applying a bank card the next day and transferring the money to the card!

But what kind of food could I buy with just ten dollars?

I glanced at the darkening sky, tightened the scarf around my neck and wanted to go upstairs again, but just thinking of the long way up gave me cold feet.

I asked the receptionist of the building, "How long will the elevator be repaired?"

The lady apologized very embarrassedly and said: "I'm very sorry for the inconvenience. There may be an hour before it can operate normally."

There was still an hour...I had no choice but to go upstairs on foot.

When I reached the 20th floor, my heart was on the verge of collapse, but fortunately, all my strength came back after a short rest.

I knocked on the door of Benjamin but no one answered.
