He Asked Me to Divorce Her 19 Times, I Asked Him to Wait Till I Die Chapter 08

Inside the small box were jewelry, cash in small and large bills, and a bank card.

I looked at him with bright, hopeful eyes and said, “I’ve been making money from painting all these

years.”

I pulled out the gold he’d once thought worthless and placed it in his hand.

“Every time I saved up, I bought gold like others do. I heard it goes up in value, so I knew it would

come in handy.”

“Now,” I smiled, “it’s all yours.”

I gave him the gold, the cash, and the bank card.

“Whether you’re a Carman or not, whether you’re rich or not, no matter who you are, Gideon. I only need your love. I’d do anything for you, I’d risk everything for you.”

He held the small wooden box. It was light, but it weighed heavily on his chest, stealing his breath.

Born into wealth, adored by everyone his whole life, Gideon had never understood the weight of that love, or how determined I’d been.

All he knew was that he had already decided I was the one. That he would never let me down. That he would walk with me to the very end.

Victoria spoke coldly to Lesly, “You need to understand. Gideon has already cut ties with the

Carman family.”

Victoria’s voice was icy and terrifying.

“Aubrielle has frozen all of Gideon’s assets. If you truly love him, you can start over with him. Just like Aubrielle did. Build a life from nothing with Gideon. I’ll take the baby back to the Carman family to raise. How does that sound?”

Gideon’s eyes darted from me to Lesly, and he saw hesitation flash across her face.

I spoke softly, “But first, take off all the expensive jewelry you’re wearing.”

Victoria pressed on, “But if you’re willing to leave Gideon, you can come back to the Carman family with me and be the mother of our future heir.”

Lesly made her choice at once. She didn’t even glance at Gideon. She chose wealth. “I’ll go back with

you.”

Gideon couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

“The only reason I got together with Gideon was because I didn’t want to struggle.”

Gideon lifted his head in shock.

“If I have to struggle anyway, I’d rather not have Gideon at all.”

Lesly turned to Victoria with an almost pleading look. “Mrs. Carman, please take me with you. I

want to go.”

Lesly had always been spoiled by Gideon, pampered rotten. So much so that when her attitude suddenly turned fawning and submissive, Gideon was stunned for a moment-as if he had never really known her, as if she had become a completely different person.

He suddenly found it absurd, so ridiculous he laughed out loud, “Lesly. You said you’d stand by me through rich and poor. Lesly…”

“Gideon! Love being enough is only a lie for people like Aubrielle! You really think I’d suffer the way she did? Who do you think you are?” Lesly mocked him without mercy. “If you weren’t the head of Carman Group, you really think I’d have looked twice at you? You think you’re hot stuff?”

“Only someone like Aubrielle would treat you like a treasure!”

Lesly spat directly at Gideon. He snapped completely, grabbed her by the neck, and shouted, “How dare you?”
