He walked up to her and watched her get out of the car. Dressed in a pink hoodie and a pair of jeans covering her legs, she looked like a college student rather than a mother who had just given birth to a child.
He hurried over and extended his hands to hold Mireya, but she promptly dodged him.
Desperate, he wanted to hug her by force. However, a strong hand stretched out and stopped him.
“Rodney, Mireya is here to talk about her divorce.” Ryan stared at Rodney gently, but his eyes carried a hint of warning.
The second Rodney heard the word ¡®divorce’, he glanced at Ryan, who was standing in front of Mireya. The two of them were around the same age. One was pretty, and the other was handsome.
The scene was an eyesore to him, and it made him boil with anger.
“Ryan Snow, go away.”
He moved Ryan’s hand away and said furiously, ” Did you instigate Mireya to divorce me behind my back? You’re such a scheming man. You’re trying to coax us into getting a divorce so that you can be with her, right? Dream on. The Snow family won’t allow two brothers to marry the same woman. You can forget it.”
Ryan’s handsome face gave nothing away, as if Rodney was not referring to him.
On the other hand, Mireya and Heidi, who just got off, froze for a moment.
Subsequently, Mireya criticized Rodney angrily, “Are you out of your mind? Me wanting to divorce you has nothing to do with Ryan at all.”
“Mireya, you’re too naive. He’s interested in you and has long been eyeing you, ” Rodney said with exasperation as he pointed at Ryan.
Heidi furrowed her brows before looking at her son. Even Mireya’s mind momentarily went blank.
Ryan was interested in her? How could that be?
However, Ryan’s gentle face remained calm. “Mom, you know that Mireya had a premature delivery because she was mad at him. At that time, I couldn’t put up with the situation any longer. But since they already had Dani, I couldn’t bear to see the child come into this world to divorced parents. So, I deliberately provoked Rodney in private, telling him that I was interested in Mireya. I told him that if he didn’t cherish Mireya, I’d take her away from him. It’s most probably because of my provocative remarks that made him notice that he has feelings for Mireya, so they got back together shortly after that.”
Heidi grasped the point, but Rodney was in a daze for a moment before he snorted. “Don’t try to fool me.”
“At that time, I sincerely hoped that you would come to your senses and cherish her, Rodney.” Ryan shrugged helplessly. “Look. If I hadn’t provoked you, you wouldn’t have realized that you’re concerned about Mireya. You’re afraid that someone will snatch her away.”
“He’s not afraid that someone will snatch me away.
He just wants to save his dignity, considering his identity as my husband.”
Mireya disagreed with Ryan’s view. “Because Sarah has made him lose his dignity once, he now cares about his dignity more than anyone else.”
“Mireya, I really care about you…” Seeing Mireya’s indifferent expression, Rodney was at his wits’ end. “Can’t you feel my love for you recently?”
“Do you mean when you lied to me that you were talking business with Mr. Micheal the whole night when, in fact, you were with Sarah? Or when you lied to me halfway through the movie that your office was on fire and left me alone for Sarah?” Mireya smiled discreetly.
Rodney’s face was red with shame. “That was because…”
“Fine. You don’t have to explain further.” Mireya looked at Rodney. “Rodney, if you explain again, I’ll find you even more disgusting. Unfortunately, you have no self-awareness at all.”
Her eyes made no pretense of the hatred she felt. This time, Rodney was indeed hurt.
She hated him?
Why did she hate him?
Did they have to end up like this?
“Let’s go in.” Heidi’s head hurt listening to their argument. Anyway, she knew that it was no use communicating with Rodney. Hence, she walked directly into the living room.
It was early in the morning, but everyone in the Snow family was there.
Since Mireya was determined to divorce Rodney, she would not treat the elders of the Snow family as cautiously as she did before.
She placed the divorce papers on the table right away.
Old Master Snow’s expression turned ghastly while Wendy leaped to her feet anxiously. “Mireya— “
“Mom,” Mireya interrupted her. “This might be the last time I’m calling you Mom. I’m thankful for the Snow family’s care all this while, but sadly, I can’t be your daughter-in-law anymore. I came here today to officially tell you that I’ve decided to divorce Rodney. I hope you can advise him, and please, don’t stop me.”
She sounded determined.
Wendy’s words got stuck in her throat.
Jason said sadly, “Mireya, this issue is Rodney’s fault. We’ll teach him a harsh lesson. How about this? We’ll keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn’t see Sarah anymore.”
“Dad, you don’t need to keep an eye on me. I’m not going there anymore.” Rodney’s handsome face turned pale. He did not expect things to work out this way either.
“Mireya, he still has feelings for you. He might be soft-hearted, but nothing has happened between him and Sarah. I’ve asked him about it before. If he had wronged you, I would’ve kicked him out without hesitating, ” Old Master Snow said seriously.
Deep down, Mireya sighed at how scheming Old Master Snow was. He might sound like he was siding with her, but she knew that he would not kick Rodney out so easily at this point.
In fact, he was just trying to sound nice.
“Yeah, Mireya. Divorce is always bad for a woman’s reputation. Besides, Dani is reliant on her dad.
When you took her back to Melbourne previously, she always cried for her parents’ cuddles, ” Wendy advised earnestly.
“Dani might not be able to get used to it at first, but she’ll be okay as time passes.”
Mireya was not swayed at all. “Regardless of what you guys say, I have made up my mind. I don’t mind losing everything. All I want is the child’s custody.”
“But why on earth must you get a divorce?” Rodney was exasperated, his bloodshot eyes filled with anxiety. “Do you want to leave me so badly? If you had caught me in bed with someone else, I would’ve admitted it right away. But I didn’t do anything.”
Mireya sniggered coldly. “It’s because that woman is none other than Sarah. Perhaps I wouldn’t be so determined if you took care of another woman out of guilt. I don’t care if you find Sarah to be a sad woman. I’m sorry, but I wish I could skin her alive. If the law permits, I even wish to stab her to death.”
Rodney was astounded. He could feel the resentment in her gaze. “Well…”
” If you sympathize with her, that’s your business. My hatred for her is my own, and I hate those who side with her as well. Do you get it?”
“Do you have to take it that far?”
Mireya’s gaze made Rodney go insane. “You hate me just because I’m helping Sarah out. Please, I’m your husband,” Rodney roared.
He was unsure if he was shouting because of his disappointment in her or that he could not accept the situation. All it took was a few days for their relationship to fall apart.
“Stop it.” Mireya’s eyes mocked him. “When I caught Sarah in the apartment the day before yesterday, that was the last chance I gave you, but you didn’t cherish it. Instead, you hugged Sarah and criticized me. From that moment onward, our relationship has come to an end.”
Rodney froze.
Did it mean that she had already decided to get a divorce that day?
He was so foolish to think that she was just angry for a while.
” Is there a need to act like this?” he muttered. He seemed as though he could not resign himself to the truth, yet he was throwing piercing remarks.
“Shut up, ” Old Master Snow shouted at Rodney as he flew into a fury. Was Rodney unaware of how many silly things he had done?
After Old Master Snow finished speaking, he turned to look at Mireya. “Mireya, now that you’ve planned to divorce him, we won’t force you to stay with him. But let me remind you that I’ve allocated ten percent of the Snow Corporation’s shares for Dani after she was born. What’s more, she’s the only grandchild in the Snow family. We have to keep her i n the Snow family.”
Mireya’s heart sank. Ultimately, the thing she feared most still happened.” I have to take Dani away, but I can give you back the shares. Grandpa, I was pregnant with Dani for nine months before I gave birth to her. I can’t leave her to Rodney. If he marries Sarah in the future, the wicked woman will never treat Dani well. You guys can’t guard against her either. Perhaps Grandpa and Grandma can take care of Dani, but she can’t leave me as I’m her biological mother. Besides, she still needs breast milk, considering that she’s so young.”
Rodney opened his mouth and wanted to say that Sarah was not that wicked. However, at the thought of his tense relationship with Mireya, he held back.
He was no fool. He could tell that his grandfather was trying to use the child as a pretext of making Mireya stay.
Old Master Snow said nonchalantly, “I will never allow Sarah to join the Snow family.”
Mireya laughed and refuted decently, “You’ve warned Rodney not to be with Sarah, but is he listening to you?”
Old Master Snow was stung by her words, and his face turned grimmer. “Mireya, you just have to talk back to me, huh? Can’t you trust me once more?”
“Grandpa, Sarah and her brother have tortured me very badly in the past few years. Her brother attempted to rape me, hit me, humiliate me. Later, I got pregnant and was forced to get engaged with Rodney in the end. Even then, Rodney continued to be with Sarah, which made me a laughing stock.
After that, I was forced to marry Rodney. I really don’t want Sarah to be in my life anymore. She has given me trauma, and I guess you guys feel the same. I’m no match for her.”
