The Divorce Agreement Came Into Effect, and the Husband Regretted itChapter 1
“Dad,I accept your proposal—I will leave Xavier and return home to inherit the family business.”
My trembling hand gripped the phone;my tone was firm.
On the other end my father was clearly taken aback when he heard my decision;he checked again,“Mia,once you make this choice you can’t turn back.You love him so much—are you sure you want to leave?”
“Sure.”I said coldly,with finality.
In the first year after our marriage,late at night and home alone with a 40°C fever from COVID,I used the last of my strength to send Xavier voice messages begging him to come home and take me to the emergency room.Ten voice messages—no reply.
In the second year of our marriage,I was robbed on a foreign street and nearly shot;I called the nearby Xavier for help.Twenty calls—no answer.
In the third year,with our third wedding anniversary,my car’s central system failed on the highway;during my pregnancy I suffered heavy bleeding,blood soaking the anniversary gifts I had brought for Xavier,and I was on the brink of death,urgently needing a guardian’s signature.All I heard was the dial tone that would never connect.
