Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 293: Chapter 283: The First Time Zhan Qipei Doesn’t Go Home

Upon seeing her name, he couldn’t control his thoughts from drifting back to the moment when she signed her name on the divorce agreement.

He felt his heart ache faintly, the bitterness gradually spreading to his whole body, as if paralyzing his limbs.

A full minute passed before Zhan Qipei finally picked up his phone, his movements still somewhat stiff, his hand trembling slightly. She couldn’t possibly be calling to urge him to sign the divorce papers, could she?

Thinking of this possibility, his hand gripped the phone tightly, reluctant to press the answer button.

Until the call automatically disconnected, Zhan Qipei had not answered the phone.

The phone screen immediately went dark, reflecting his tense face.

...

Qiao Jing found it strange, why didn’t he answer the call?

She redialed the number.

As Zhan Qipei saw the phone screen light up again, the nickname he had for Qiao Jing was “wife,” which he used to find very pleasing to the eye, as it declared she was his.

But now, those two characters gradually started to sting his eyes, he stared at the nickname, lost in thought. Soon, she would no longer be his.

The phone continued to ring, and Zhan Qipei’s expression became more rigid, his face solemn, his temple throbbing suddenly.

The phone was about to disconnect automatically again when he pressed the answer button at the last second.

Qiao Jing let out a sigh of relief when the call connected.

“Are you home yet?”

After hearing this, Zhan Qipei looked towards the trash can. Was she asking if he had seen the divorce papers? Was she trying to pressure him to sign them?

He pursed his lips tightly, unwilling to speak.

Qiao Jing, getting no reply for a long time, asked with some confusion.

“Are you still there?”

Zhan Qipei forced his mouth open before finally answering her question.
