He Asked Me to Divorce Her 19 Times, I Asked Him to Wait Till I Die Chapter 10

Gideon froze and stared at me in disbelief.

I kept a gentle smile and explained to him slowly, “Oh, and I forgot to tell you. While you were on vacation in Bali with Lesly and couldn’t be reached, your grandfather Arthur was in a car accident

and needed an emergency blood transfusion.”

“As it turned out, my blood type was a match. Later, he took me in as his goddaughter. My blood runs in his veins. And I was the one who took care of him during his hospital stay.”

“He said,” I smiled softly, “if I acknowledge you, you are a Carman. If I don’t, you are nothing.”

“But I don’t want to divorce you,” I spoke slowly. “Because I want your life miserable. Watching you and Lesly turn on each other has been quite amusing.”

I didn’t look at Gideon again. I listened to him shout my name behind me, along with Lesly’s screams. I just got into the car.

The big screen had gone back to regular ads.

Gideon’s fairytale romance ended right there.

I touched my belly and remembered that night when Gideon dragged me into the room and forced himself on me despite my struggles.

I never thought that child would become my lifelong security.

I recalled those girls’ envious words.

“Honestly, the real key is being born into the right family.”

“When you’re born into old money, love is beside the point. You’re the empire. You can have your

desire.” pick of any man or woman you

“If you ask me, I’d rather be the heir to a wealthy family myself. I’d never be stupid enough to

choose love over that.”

I smiled.

Right.

Once, I thought love was enough.

I thought love was above everything.

I thought with love, I had everything.

I painted desperately, took every order I could.

I watched Gideon struggle, then secretly called in favors to help him rise step by step.

I thought Gideon would appreciate my devotion, cherish my love, and cherish me as he promised.

In good times and bad, in sickness and in health, we would be together forever.

But Now…

“Aubrielle,” Victoria said. “Would you like to move back to the Carman Estate?”

I smiled. “No.”

I handed her an invitation. “I have an art exhibition next month. I’ll be busy until then. But I’ll put my work on hold when I’m due.”

The Carman family’s wealth was beyond my wildest dreams. Since it was within my reach, I would

not refuse it.

“Very well,” Victoria smiled. “Gideon was right about you, after all.”

Before my plane took off, I received a text showing a bank transfer! The note read: [Aubrielle, safe

travels.]

I didn’t wonder who it was from. I didn’t ask if it was Gideon.

“Lesly lost the baby. And now she’s planning to sue Gideon,” Victoria said with a smile as she sat down beside me. “But Arthur won’t let us get involved. He said our family hasn’t produced such a disgrace in a hundred years.”

“We’ve already raised one failure. Now we have to focus on the little one in your belly-and raise it right this time.”

“Now,” she pointed to the private plane outside. “You’re in a different position now. You need to learn to enjoy life while you can.”

I looked at the plane and listened as Victoria laughed.

“This is Arthur’s welcome home gift to you. I hope you like it.”
