Chapter 369 He Will Help You
Looking at his wife, who was silently crying while holding his daughter, he wanted to explain, but no words came out of his mouth.
Instead, he merely jerked his head around and slapped his mistress. “Who gave you such courage to look for her? And you even hit her?”
Holding her cheeks, Joey replied resentfully, “You keep saying that you are getting divorced soon, but when are you actually doing it? I’ve been with you for six years, and you said that you will marry me this year…”
The man was suddenly annoyed. “Didn’t I ask you to give me more time?”
Joey sobbed. “Six years—I’ve given you six years. My mom kept asking me to go for blind dates back home, but I refused to go back just because I wanted to be with you. But since you don’t divorce her, I have no other choice…”
Yvonne finally wiped her tears away and spoke, “He can’t marry you because I won’t divorce him. Even though it’s free to date anyone you like, it’s not so free that you can date married men. The moment you got involved with him, you should have known that there was no future for both of you.
In fact, everyone is a bed of roses before marriage. I also spent some sweet times with him. However, after marriage, there are simply too many matters to take care of—the elderly, kids, relatives and friends, and many miscellaneous stuff you couldn’t even think of. Those matters take too much time.
Forget dating—I don’t even have time to sleep. If I didn’t have to deal with that, I could also doll myself up everyday, just like you do!” With that, she suddenly smiled mockingly at herself. “But what happened today has cleared my mind.
Initially, I wanted to give my child a complete family. But with a dysfunctional marriage like this, it’s no different from having no father. It’s rather useless anyway. I’ll fulfil your dream today. Let’s get divorced, James!”
James looked at her in shock. “Y-You’re really agreeing to that?”
She replied, “Yes. I don’t want anything, but the child must belong to me.” Then, she looked at both Olivia and Eugene. “Thanks for standing up for me just now.”
Olivia smiled. “No problem. As long as you figured it out, it’s fine. He’s not that good anyway, so there’s nothing to be sorry about to leave him. You are right—the child is better off without a father like him!”
Yvonne agreed. “Yeah.” Then, she looked at Joey. “By the way, I forgot to let you know that he has a bed-ridden mother who can’t control her bodily functions. I hope you guys still remain sweet and loving after you get married!”
Joey snorted. “You don’t have to warn me off. All James has is money; we can simply hire a caretaker. You provided free labor out of your own willingness.”
Yvonne didn’t bother to speak to her anymore. Instead, she looked at James and said in a calm voice, “We’ll settle the divorce letters tomorrow.”
James didn’t speak, but he merely looked shocked and dazed.
Olivia glanced at him sharply before looking at Yvonne and uttered, “I have a lawyer who can help you with the divorce lawsuit for free. Since he cheated on you first, he’s in the wrong. This is not a time to reminisce about your ties with him—you have to fight for your own rights. When he cheated on you, he had forgotten both you and your child. If you need other witnesses, you can contact me. I can be your witness.”
With that, just as she was about to give Yvonne her phone number, Eugene suddenly gave her Curtis’ number.
“If you need any help, just contact him,” he spoke.
Yvonne looked at both of them gratefully. “Thank you! Thank you so much!”
Olivia hummed in reply and walked away with Eugene.
“Why didn’t you let me give her my number?”
Eugene glanced at her without explaining much. “It’s better to steer clear of trouble. It’s the same if we ask Curtis to help her,” he stated flatly.
“Hmph, even without explaining, I understand that you are worried that those two nut jobs might take revenge on me, aren’t you?”
