Chapter 10


Chapter 10

Angela didn't look up. “Please move aside."

She was polite, but the person in front of her didn't budge.

"It's only been a few days, and you've turned yourself into a beggar? Angela, would you really rather degrade yourself like this?” A familiar, cold voice came from above. The speaker's tone was dripping with contempt.

Angela froze and looked up, meeting Dexter's deep, dark gaze. As their eyes met, she swallowed nervously. Nevertheless, her initial surprise quickly turned to annoyance.

"Why can't you just leave me alone?" She gathered up her chicken thigh and snacks, ready to leave.

Her days had been fulfilling and busy lately, so she had barely thought of him. But she had only managed to take a few steps before Dexter grabbed her by the collar and dragged her back to his car.

As he leaned close, Angela glared at him warily. “If you come any closer, I'll bite you again.”

Dexter pulled a long face instantly, and he grabbed her wrist.

"You look ugly. How am I supposed to take you to the banquet?” he muttered in irritation, barely wanting to look at her.

Angela had once had a hint of elegance, but now, there was none of the polished refinement as all she wore were casual and carefree clothes.

If it hadn't been for Joseph's orders to attend the event with her, Dexter would never have lowered himself to come to this dump.

"What are you talking about? I never agreed to go with you." Angela pushed him away and got out of the car.

Dexter went after her and said irritably through gritted teeth, “Don't push your luck, Angela. You've been throwing this tantrum long enough. I'm giving your one last chance. Come home with me, or you'll forever-”

"I choose the second option," Angela cut him off bluntly before he could finish. She asserted, "From now on, I will never, ever return to that house of yours. Please give me the divorce papers as soon as possible, and stop showing up in front of me!"

Her voice, which was usually soft and calm, was now sharp and assertive. It startled Dexter, causing him to frown as he stared at her.

'Angela, what right do you have to demand a divorce? Without me, who will support the Graham family? Who will protect your useless half-brother? I guess I've been too kind
