But there wasn't a single word of truth coming out of her mouth.
If they knew that Maria was still hooking up with Logan, and was probably still staying with him now, would they still come to me to ask for property division?
They wouldn't.
They would only blame me for not keeping an eye on my wife.
Greedy people sought wealth without any reason, they just wanted money.
"Don't worry, the divorce application has been submitted.
"You can fight for Maria's due rights. We just need to wait for the result of the trial."
After Stella's death, I had become hard-hearted and didn't want to talk about any reason or feelings.
It all depended on how the professional team of lawyers I hired could help me solve it.
Kevin was stunned, but soon recovered his expression and said, "Humph, let's see how long you can keep being stubborn!
"Don't come crying and beg us to allow Maria to get back to you then."
Sofia added, "That's right. You must be sincere when you ask Maria back. You liked Maria so much back then, but now you want a divorce. Don't come to our house and beg for her forgiveness... However, if you pay us money and kowtow to beg us, we can still consider it."
Their nonsense was laughable.
"I finally know that you are heartless and profit-driven. Now, I finally know I had been so humble. From now on, our two families are even."
"What do you mean? You'll never be able to repay our daughter for what you owe her in your entire life!"
I just ignored them and walked away from them.
When I was having dinner that night, my cell phone started ringing wildly.
After hanging up for the last time, the door was finally opened.
"Lucas, come out! How dare you talk shit about me in front of my parents? They are old and can't stand the stimulation, don't you know?"
Maria came to me in a rage to question me.
Maria was no longer attractive to me.
The love that made me have no regrets was gradually slipping away from her.
She changed.
"Maria, do you still remember your speech at the graduation ceremony?
"You said you would not forget your original intention and live towards the sun.
"From today on, the Maria I knew has died along with our baby.
"And you should stay away from me."
I pushed aside her body that was blocking me, just like pushing aside the curtain that was blocking the turning point of my life.
She finally looked panicked as she realized that I was serious this time and she couldn't hold me anymore.
