With his hot breath spraying on her ear, Celeste's earlobe felt like it was on fire. But her lips were pale. The bruise on her abdomen was causing her great pain.
Thankfully, the light was off, so he couldn't see it.-
She tilted her head up and kissed his Adam's apple. Liam's breathing became ragged, and he lowered his head to bite her neck. Then she calmly said, "I'm ovulating today. You should do your duty."
Liam immediately stiffened, the desire in his eyes vanishing. His face turned dark, and he angrily said, "Is that all you think about?"
Celeste stared at the ceiling, the heat in her ears gradually fading, "Your mom keeps nagging me about it. It's not something I can do alone. If you prefer, you can donate sperm and I'll do IVF."
Liam mocked her coldly, "So is mom pushing you, or are you afraid of losing your place and want a child as leverage?"
Her heart felt like it was being painfully squeezed, but Celeste's expression didn't change. She just smiled and said, "Yeah, I'm afraid you'll leave me, so I want to have a connection with you."
Liam buttoned up his shirt, gave her a disdainful look, and said, "Don't waste your scheming on this. I'm not having a child."
Celeste's smile gradually stiffened. Just as he was about to leave, she called out, "Liam, do you not want a child at all, or do you just not want one with me?"
Liam paused, then coldly replied, "Does it make a difference?"
Celeste clenched her fist, "If there's no difference, what's the point of being married? Let's get a divorce!"
"Suit yourself!" He slammed the door and left.
Celeste threw a pillow at the door, tears welling in her eyes.
The next day, Liam returned from his morning run and sat down at the dining table to check his emails.
Breakfast was already on the table, but he didn't touch it.
The housekeeper asked, "Sir, would you like me to reheat it?"
Liam glanced at the time and frowned, "Tell her to come down and eat."
The housekeeper went upstairs but soon hurried back down, "Sir, the lady is gone, and she left with this."
"What?" He took it from her.
The words "divorce agreement" on the paper were glaring.
He read through it with a tight face, which gradually darkened. When he saw that the property, cars, and shares were to be divided equally, he laughed in anger, "She sure dares to dream!"
However, when he saw the reason for the divorce, he couldn't laugh. The line read, "Due to the husband's infertility and inability to have a normal marital life, the couple's relationship has broken down."
He angrily pulled out his phone and called Celeste.
"Hello." Her cold voice came through the phone, infuriating him.
He gritted his teeth and asked, "What's the meaning of this?"
"Literally," Celeste said in a flat tone, "Sign it and let me know. We'll go through the divorce process and have nothing to do with each other from now on."
