chapter 3
I said to Theodore, "I don't agree to the divorce. Theodore, no matter what difficulties the company faces, I can go through them with you. Divorce won't solve everything."
"We have feelings for each other, and there's a baby about to be born. Can you give me one more chance to make things right?"
The daughter in my belly was still shouting, "Mom, don't say that. Dad despises women who lower themselves like this. Just choose to leave without taking any property and go. Dad will definitely regret it and beg you to come back crying."
I clenched my teeth and firmly ignored her inner voice.
Sure enough, after I asked him to stay, Theodore didnt leave heartlessly like in the previous life.
I know Theodore didnt cheat at all. He wants a divorce just because hes sulking with me.
I started working harder, putting all my energy into the company and Theodore.
I know I caused huge losses to the company, so I tried everything to make up for it.
I kept promoting the company, actively putting Theodore on TV, and worked hard to boost the companys visibility.
Sure enough, with my efforts, the companys revenue skyrocketed.
But no matter how hard I tried to stop bad things from happening, fate still unfolded as destined.
Theodore attended a talk show. The production team deliberately used misleading editing to make Theodores relationship with another female guest seem ambiguous. This led to fierce online criticism of Theodore, and the companys shares plummeted. In the end, only a fake divorce between Theodore and me could save this crisis.
I had no choice and, just like last time, signed the divorce agreement.
To silence the media, I moved out overnight and stopped contacting Theodore.
But on the day we agreed to remarry, Theodore never showed up to see me.
I was very nervous. At that moment, I heard my daughter's inner voice again.
She said, "Dad is now getting ready to marry another woman. Mom, if you have any self-respect left, you should take me far away. I don't want a dad like that. If you humbly go back to beg him, I won't acknowledge you as my mom anymore."
Hearing the news that Theodore was preparing to remarry, my mind went blank.
Reason told me I should quickly pull myself out of this relationship, but instinctively, I wanted to do the opposite of what my daughter said. Without hesitation, I hailed a cab and went straight to Theodore's wedding venue.
Just two months ago, I still had a happy family and marriage.
But ever since I got pregnant, Waylon and Audrey died, and the man who once promised to love me forever is now marrying another woman.
I know I might not escape the same fate of death as in my past life. But still, I want to make one last struggle.
At the wedding venue, Theodore looked at me with disgust.
He said, "I hate women who cling. You have no dignity, it's disgusting. I already have the woman I love. How long are you going to keep pestering me?"
Every word from Theodore was like a sharp knife stabbing into my heart. I opened my mouth but could only shake my head helplessly.
I wanted to ask him why my life felt like a pre-written script, why all my efforts seemed useless like a joke.
I don't want to die, nor do I want to follow the path fate has already arranged.
Just as the moment of my death in the previous life was approaching, the woman who married Theodore suddenly turned her head and gave me a deep look.
In an instant, I was shocked to the point of feeling numb.
I finally understood why I could hear my daughter's inner voice.
I finally found a way to change my fate and keep living.
