Before leaving, the girl told Adeline with some reluctance, "I'll always support you two. You must get married!"
After she saw them off, Adeline turned and offered me a spoonful of ice cream.
"Honey, don't worry about it. The video series 'The Bossy Female CEO Falls for Me' on Liam's Twitter is really popular right now. It's good for the company. You have no idea how happy Liam is. If I interfere, he'll be upset."
I wasn't interested in her explanation.
"I don't care. You don't need to explain."
At that moment, the stabbing pain in my stomach grew worse. I clutched my stomach in agony, my face turning pale.
On the way home, Adeline received a call from Liam.
"Adeline, can you pick me up from the pool? I forgot to bring a change of clothes, and it's awkward to get a ride. Please, please..."
Unable to resist Liam's request, Adeline smiled indulgently.
"Okay, okay, I'm on my way."
After hanging up, she held my hand and kissed it.
"Honey, let's go pick up Liam together. That way, you won't overthink things."
"Adeline, you can't go; my stomach hurts a lot. You need to take me to the hospital! Hurry!"
Her expression darkened upon hearing my words.
"Declan, can you stop being so dramatic? I wanted to bring you along so you wouldn't overthink, but I didn't expect you to play the sympathy card."
"I'm not playing games. Take me to the hospital. I'm not joking; it really hurts!"
"Stop pretending. It's not convincing at all."
I was on the verge of fainting.
"I have stomach cancer. It hurts so much now, so we have to go to the hospital!"
Adeline didn't believe me and glared at me in anger.
"You usually act with me, but now you're even using stomach cancer to deceive me?"
"We've been married for four years. You've been fine. How could you suddenly have stomach cancer?"
"Now that I have to pick up Liam, you're suddenly in pain?"
She grew more furious and slammed on the brakes.
"Get out. Get out!"
"Aren't you in a hurry to the hospital? Hurry up and get out! Don't waste my time picking up Liam!"
"Fine, I'll get out."
I was about to get out of the car when she grabbed me.
"I really can't be too nice to you, making you disobedient!"
"Let's divorce, Adeline."
She seemed shocked by my words.
"Divorce?"
I nodded.
"Nolan has already prepared the divorce agreement for me."
She released me, staring in shock.
"Declan, do you really want a divorce? You better think it over. No one would want a petty man like you except for me!"
"I've thought it over. Goodbye."
As I was about to get out, she slammed the gas pedal.
The sudden acceleration threw me out.
Amid the screams of passersby, I lay in a pool of blood, and Adeline walked away without looking back.
Blood spread beneath me, blooming like vibrant flowers of the afterlife, encircling me one after another.
