The Billionaire’s Wife Who Couldn’t Afford Anything Chapter 08 I Don’t Love You Anymore

“Then take mine instead.”

My chest instantly tightened painfully.

I crouched down and gently hugged him.

“It’s okay.

“Dad isn’t here to take blood this time.

“He just wants to talk to Mommy.”

Then I softly patted his head.

“Go finish watching Power Rangers, okay?”

Noah still looked uneasy, but eventually, after glancing back at me every few steps, returned to the television.

he slowly

Even then, he remained completely distracted, constantly looking over his shoulder at us.

I turned back toward Adrian and smiled faintly.

“Are you hungry?

“I made cold sesame noodles.

“Do you want a bowl?”

My calm attitude clearly caught him off guard.

For a moment, Adrian didn’t even know how to react.

I quietly placed a bowl in front of him and handed him a fork.

The second he took the first bite, his eyes immediately turned red.

Then tears suddenly started falling uncontrollably.

Maybe out of embarrassment, he lowered his head even further, silently swallowing both the noodles and the tears together.

After forcing down several bites, he hurriedly grabbed tissues and wiped his face messily before finally daring to look back up at me.

“Evie…”

His voice sounded hoarse.

“I know I was wrong.

“I went to the sorting center.

“I went to the delivery station, the restaurant, the bar…”

His eyes grew redder and redder.

“I didn’t know your life was that hard.

“I didn’t know you suffered that much.”

He looked at me almost desperately.

“I’m begging you.

“Please give me one chance to make things right.

“Come back with me. You and Noah.

“I swear I’ll never doubt you again. I’ll never call you a gold digger again.

“I’ll buy you the best clothes, the nicest jewelry, everything you deserve.

“And Noah can have every toy he wants.

“We’ll start over. We’ll finally live properly together.”

I didn’t respond to any of it.

Instead, I quietly asked:

“Are you full?”

Adrian froze slightly before nodding in confusion.

I calmly continued:

“Then go home.

“And don’t come back here again.

“Noah and I?

“We’re already living very well now.

“We don’t need your compensation.”

I paused briefly before continuing softly:

“And if you really want to make things up to me…

“Our mandatory waiting period should already be over by now.

“Find a free day sometime this month.

“We’ll finalize the divorce paperwork.”

Adrian instantly went silent.

He simply stared at me with those beautiful, tear-filled eyes I used to love so desperately.

His lips trembled slightly.

“Why?” he asked quietly.

I let out a faint mocking laugh.

Then I looked at him with nothing but disappointment left in my eyes.

“Because I don’t love you anymore.

“I don’t want to give you another chance.

“Once someone hurts you the first time, there’ll always be a second time.

“And a third.

“And countless more after that.

“You said you loved me.

“But because of your suspicion and pride, you ignored Noah and me for three entire years.

“You hurt us for three entire years.”

I looked directly into his eyes.

“When you thought I stopped loving you, suddenly you were willing to chase after me.

“But when I loved you the most?

“You doubted my sincerity and forced me to prove myself over and over again.

“Adrian… when I first fell in love with you, I thought you were just an ordinary office worker.

“You know that better than anyone.

“Every test you gave me after revealing your real identity…

“Was you trampling my dignity into the ground.”

Adrian suddenly grabbed my hand tightly and pressed his forehead against it.

“I’m sorry.”

His entire voice was shaking now.

“I lost my mind.

“I should never have listened to my father.

“I should never have let Vanessa manipulate me with all those ridiculous tests.

“And I definitely should never have agreed to that blood-donation stunt.”

He closed his eyes painfully.

“You can yell at me.

“You can hit me.

“But please…

“Don’t leave me.”

I forcefully pulled my hand back from his grip and looked at him coldly.

“The man I married was you.

“And the person who made all those choices was also you.

“If you had the courage to do those things back then…

“Then stop making excuses for yourself now.”

Ding dong. Ding dong.

The sharp sound of the doorbell suddenly interrupted the room.

Noah immediately ran over and opened the door.

The next second, Daniel Reed rushed inside together with two police officers behind him.

The moment Daniel saw Adrian, his expression darkened furiously.

He immediately pointed at Adrian and cursed:

“You piece of shit!

“What kind of man bullies a single mother and her child?!”

Then he turned directly toward the officers.

“Officers-

“It’s him!”
