The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 408 Unexpected Fainting

How could Michael let Emily act so irrationally?

Not expecting any compensation from him? That's just said out of anger.

The child she was carrying had half the Smith family's blood!

"Emily, do you really want a divorce?" Michael asked, his neck and temple veins bulging. His face was twisted with anger, his eyes filled with resentment. In the past, Emily would never have dared to provoke him like this.

But now, Emily acted as if she didn't see it.

She nodded solemnly, her response serious and unwavering. "Yes, I really want a divorce. There has never been any real love between us. There wasn't before, there isn't now, and there never will be. I hope you won't waste my time any longer, and don't wait until the child is born to create a scandal."

"The sooner we separate, the sooner we can both find our own peace and happiness." Emily said, her words cutting deeply and leaving Michael speechless.

With that, Michael's mood plummeted to rock bottom.

He hated it hated how Emily had changed, hated how they had come to this point.

But the fact was, Emily's attitude had completely shifted. She was determined to get a divorce, and he wasn't one to force someone against their will. What could he do but agree?

"Fine, you want a divorce? You got it. But you have to pay back everything you owe me. The rent for the house near Emerald Lake Manor, the living expenses I gave you- every penny."

'Hmph, he finally showed his true colors.' Emily looked at the man ruthlessly demanding repayment.

She hated herself even more-hated her own powerlessness and despised her own naivety in the past.

"Fine, send me the amount and your account number. I'll pay you back in installments. Once it's all paid off, we'll get divorced. In the meantime, I'll cover the costs of living at Emerald Lake Manor, including food."

Michael was taken aback and replied, "Consider it a gift."

Emily responded without hesitation, "No need. I won't owe you anything. Besides, in my heart, we're already divorced."

With that, Emily didn't explain further and went upstairs.
