Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO

Chapter 365

Audrey’s POV

“Of course, Astrid said, tapping Ethan’s head. “You’re still too young to get it.”

*If Blake Parker could actually change, the sun would rise from the west.” Astrid dropped vegetables onto his plate. “Eat your greens and quit overthinking.”

“Uncle Ethan, have some candy!” Emma held out a wrapped piece. “Candy makes everything better!”

Ethan’s expression softened immediately. He served Emma a chicken drumstick. “Growing girls need protein.”

Emma stuffed the entire piece into her mouth. “I wanna grow big and protect Mommy!”

“Then you definitely need to eat up,” Ethan said, ruffling her hair.

Emma nodded with such serious determination, her cheeks still bulging with chicken, that we all burst out laughing. Just like that,

the tension broke.

After dinner, I took Emma for her bath, listening to her chatter about “funny uncle Ethan” before tucking her into bed.

Later that night, I called Adrian. He’d texted that he’d reached London safely and would arrive in New York by morning.

“One day back and already picking fights?” Adrian’s voice carried a hint of amusement. “Mrs. Knox has grown bold. I expected you’d endure their bullying longer, like before.”

“Did you save my life just so I could be everyone’s doormat?”

“No,” he replied quickly. “I just didn’t expect… Actually, I’m proud of you. Your sister would be happy seeing you like this.”

My chest tightened at the mention of my sister. “Tell me more about her.”

“Haven’t I told you plenty? What do you want to know?”

I decided to be direct. “Tell me about how she became pregnant with your child.”

The line went quiet. All I could hear was Adrian’s breathing growing heavier.

“It’s getting late,” he finally said. “You should rest.”

The call ended abruptly. I stared at my phone, then set it down.

Adrian’s silence confirms it. The mental institution papers Eleanor showed me were real. My sister really was confined to a facility, only released after becoming pregnant.

What exactly happened between them? She had a heart condition – pregnancy would have been dangerous. Did she truly consent to having his child?

I gazed out at the night sky until sleep finally claimed me.
