Chapter 1830 - 1832: I Want a Divorce and to Leave with the Child
As soon as she heard those words, Xiaotian panicked. She didn’t want her hard-found family to know about the shameless things she had done.
In her view, being with a man before marriage was shameless; marrying her current husband while carrying another man’s child was even more shameless.
Someone like her brings shame to her family and should be drowned in a pig cage.
Xiaotian dropped to her knees in front of her mother-in-law, pleading, "Mother, I was wrong, please don’t bring my family over, I beg you."
Madam Guo’s lips curled into a cold smile; she realized the shame now, but what about back then?
"I’ll give you one last chance, speak tonight or don’t blame me for being rude!"
Madam Guo said her piece, flicked her sleeves, and stormed off.
...
...
That evening, as soon as Guo Feng returned, he noticed something was off about Xiaotian; she had been like this for days, and it worried him.
"My dear, don’t overthink that matter; let’s talk about it only when it happens, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Xiaotian forced a faint smile; what must come will come eventually. Perhaps she had misunderstood from the start; maybe she shouldn’t have repaid kindness this way from the beginning.
"Brother, I have something to tell you."
These words made Guo Feng uneasy, but he didn’t show it; instead, he sat down, "What is it, tell me?"
Xiaotian hung her head low, not daring to look into Guo Feng’s eyes, and finally spoke, "Brother, I want to separate from you and leave with the child."
These words pierced Guo Feng’s heart; after all this time, was he still unable to keep her?
His hand tightened unconsciously in a hidden place, a gesture of reluctance, "Are you still thinking about him? Do you want to find him?"
Such questioning made Xiaotian raise her head in haste; she had never considered returning to Li Fugui, even if she left now, she wouldn’t go to find him.
"No, brother, I don’t want to find him; I just feel that the child’s matter can’t be hidden any longer. Once Father and Mother find out, they surely won’t accept me and the child. It’s better to separate now before they know. I’ll leave with the child; after all, she’s a girl, not a boy. You can marry another wife in the future and have more children. As long as you agree, they will surely let me leave with the child."
Though Xiaotian spoke of the plan as seamless, Guo Feng still understood.
Father and Mother adore Little Yueyue immensely; how could they bear to let Xiaotian take her away?
She is their only granddaughter, and his only daughter at the moment.
The only explanation is that Father and Mother already know about this matter, causing Xiaotian’s unusual behavior.
Thinking this through, Guo Feng actually breathed a sigh of relief; as long as Xiaotian isn’t thinking about Li Fugui anymore, he can persuade his parents to accept her and the child.
"My dear, have my parents already found out, is that why you’re saying this?"
Xiaotian hurriedly denied, "No, it’s not like that; they don’t know anything!"
But this reaction confirmed Guo Feng’s suspicion; Xiaotian is not one to lie, and he can tell immediately when she does.
"Wait for me."
He said nothing more, leaving only those three words, then rushed out.
This kind of Guo Feng left Xiaotian even more flustered; she quickly followed him outside; she knew where he was going.
The Guo Family is probably about to have a big confrontation; she didn’t want to see them arguing over her.
