“A divorce agreement,” Lincoln replied coldly, looking back at me.
Hearing it directly from him sent waves of terror through my body.
I fought back the feelings of panic and anxiety in my heart and asked anxiously, “A divorce agreement
for me and Michael? Why would you bring this here all of a sudden, Dad?”
“I actually liked you when you first married into our family, Anna. I thought of you as a very kind person,
but what you did was simply unacceptable. Because of you, my wife is now lying in the hospital and
might remain bedridden for the rest of her life!”
Lincoln got a little emotional as he said that, and I finally understood the reason behind this divorce
agreement.
So, he's doing this because of Josephine... Since I have claimed responsibility for Josephine's
condition, I am willing to accept Lincoln's hatred toward me. However, I will not divorce Michael
because of this! They can hate me all they want, but I won't leave Michael! Our child has just been
born! He needs the love of both his parents!
My voice trembled along with my body as I said, “I know you still blame me for what happened to Mom.
I know this is all my fault, so you can hate me, scold me, and even hit me all you like. But I will never
agree to divorce Michael! I won't leave him!”
This was something I had to stand very firm on. I was determined not to leave Michael regardless of
what Lincoln said to me. Seeing as my relationship with Michael had improved a lot lately, I believed
that he would never agree to divorce me either.
“I will not allow you to remain in the Shaw family, so you will sign this divorce agreement today. I have
even brought a lawyer with me today. Let's get this all over with right here and now.”
Lincoln completely disregarded everything I had just told him.
I looked at him in utter shock, as I didn't expect the gentle and supportive father-in-law to be so
heartless.
Given the fact that the man behind him was a lawyer, it became obvious that he didn't come here to
negotiate at all. Lincoln had come here with the sole purpose of getting me to sign that divorce
agreement.
“I won't divorce Michael, and I'm sure he won't agree to it either! Besides, whether we divorce or not is
our decision to make, not yours! You have no say in this matter!” I shouted while staring at him with a
determined look in my eyes.
Although my mind was all over the place, I knew I had to stand my ground and refuse the divorce. I
would never leave Michael unless he told me he wanted to divorce me.
Lincoln's tone grew a lot colder as he asked with a frown, “What will it take for you to sign this, then?”
“I'm going to give Michael a call and tell him about this. Michael will never agree to divorce me! He
loves me!”
In my state of panic, I whipped out my phone and punched in Michael's number.
I'm going to tell Michael about this and have him stop his father!
However, I couldn't get through to him no matter how many times I tried. Every call ended with an
automated voice message stating that his phone was outside of the coverage area.
That made me panic even more, as Michael was my only source of hope left. If I gave in to Lincoln's
pressure and signed the divorce agreement, then my relationship with Michael would truly be over.
“Your call won't get through, so don't bother wasting your time and energy. Michael won't answer your
call even if you manage to get through. Hasn't it occurred to you that his business trip to Anglandur was
just to avoid you?” Lincoln said calmly when he saw how anxious I was, but his words only worsened
things for me.
What is he talking about? Is he saying that Michael knew he would have me sign this divorce
agreement? Did Michael really choose to go on a business trip just to avoid me? Did Michael know
what was going to happen today? Did he know that his family would bring this divorce agreement over?
All sorts of questions filled my head. I didn't want to doubt Michael because I believed in his love for
me, but Lincoln's words were making me feel extremely uneasy.
I couldn't bring myself to believe that Michael knew about this, as he had taken such good care of me
over the past month. I saw no sign of him wanting a divorce at all.
“No, I don't believe you! Michael wouldn't do this to me!” I shouted at Lincoln out of agitation.
Instead of getting mad at my rude behavior, Lincoln simply maintained a firm attitude as he said, “There
are things in life that you are better off not knowing too much about. Hurts a lot less that way. Do you
really think I'd bring this divorce agreement over if Michael wasn't aware?”
I could clearly tell from the tone of his voice that he was dead-set on having me sign those papers that
day.
“Michael and I have gone through a lot before we ended up together, so I don't believe he would agree
to divorce me like this. I know you're still mad at me, Dad. I feel really bad about what happened to
Mom too, and I really do want to make it up to you. But please don't make me leave Michael. We have
a child now! What would happen to the child if we ended up getting divorced?”
My voice was still trembling as I pleaded with Lincoln. I couldn't bring myself to imagine what life would
be like for both me and my child if we got divorced.
“The child is a descendant of the Shaw family, so we will raise him and provide him with the best
education possible. When he grows up, we will hand the family business over to him as well.”
What Lincoln meant was that my child would belong to the Shaw family entirely.
Naturally, I wasn't about to just hand over my child. I had gone through great pains to bring him into this
world.
“I don't agree with this arrangement. That's my child, and I'm not going to let anyone take him away
from me!” I glared at Lincoln.
I can't believe Lincoln would be so heartless! Not only does he want me to divorce Michael, but he
won't let me keep my child either! I carried my child in my womb for ten months! Lincoln has no right to
take him away from me!
Lincoln let out a sigh and said calmly, “Anna, our family is simply trying to resolve this matter
peacefully. If you insist on being so stubborn, then we will have no choice but to take this to court. The
police will then investigate how Josephine got injured, and you might end up going to prison. It'd be
impossible for you to see your child then.”
Although it seemed like he was doing this out of sympathy for me, I knew that sympathy was definitely
the last thing he felt toward me.
