One day, as Lucas drove his Maybach past a traffic light, a driver in the next car suddenly asked him, "Hey, handsome, you're driving a Maybach now. Is the woman beside you still the same one who suffered with you back then?" Lucas instinctively turned his head. The passenger seat was long devoid of my figure, the woman who had worked hard with him. Instead, a silk scarf belonging to his female secretary lay there. He finally remembered that because he had been flirting with his new female secretary, I had been giving him the silent treatment for over half a month. When Lucas returned home, feeling lost, a divorce agreement sat on the table, and a pregnancy test with two lines lay in the trash can. When he finally found me after much searching, I gave him two choices: "Either you transfer all your assets to my name and give me custody of the child, and I'll give you one last chance. "Or we divorce right now, split the assets equally, I get an abortion, and we become strangers." Lucas eventually chose the first option. Because of my hard-to-get game, he gave our marriage a suspended death sentence. What he didn't know was that I wasn't afraid of divorce. I just didn't want the joint marital assets to go to the mistress cheaply. Why should one person plant the tree and another enjoy the shade? Even if we were to divorce, it would be after I squeezed the last drop of value from him... Chapter 1 When Lucas returned home, feeling uneasy, we had been giving each other the silent treatment for over two weeks. This had never happened before. He looked everywhere in the house but couldn't find me. The noise woke up the nanny, Mrs. Zhang. When Mrs. Zhang came out of her room yawning, she was surprised, "Sir, you finally decided to come back!" Lucas looked at the empty living room, feeling unusually panicked, "Where's my wife? It's so late, why isn't she home?" Mrs. Zhang sighed and said, "The wife moved to the suburban villa a few days ago. She left this for you, and I found this in the trash can." As she spoke, she pointed to the divorce agreement on the table and took out the pregnancy test with two lines from the drawer. Seeing Lucas frowning in confusion, Mrs. Zhang explained, "The wife is pregnant!" This was our first child in five years of marriage. We had always looked forward to it, but it came at such a bad time. Lucas looked at the two lines, stunned for a long time before his mood calmed down. He had a child; he was going to be a father? Huge joy mixed with a trace of confusion swept over him, making him stagger a couple of steps before standing firm. The next moment, he grabbed the car keys on the table and walked outside. Mrs. Zhang was confused, "Sir, where are you going so late? Aren't you staying the night?" Lucas shook his head. His mind was filled with my determination to leave him and the baby in my belly. He drove fast through the quiet streets late at night, just to find my whereabouts quickly. But he didn't know that all this was part of my plan... Chapter 2 After receiving the call from Mrs. Zhang, I, who had already fallen asleep, got up from the bed and put on a very scheming natural-looking makeup. It made my eyebrows and eyes look less sharp, adding a touch of exhaustion and grievance. Who told Lucas to be soft-hearted but hard-headed? When he arrived, I didn't open the door when he rang the bell. He opened it himself with his key. He was afraid of waking me up and afraid I wasn't home. He tiptoed upstairs until he saw the figure lying on the bed. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. Lucas didn't know whether to wake me up. And if he did, what should he say? He only knew that after half a month, he was finally lying in the same bed with his wife again. He reached out to hug me as if nothing had happened, "Wife, give me a hug!" But what happened happened. I was glad I was rational. I gently pushed him away. I didn't quarrel with him. I turned on the light, sat up, didn't turn back, my voice slightly hoarse, "Let's talk." Lucas knew he couldn't dodge this and had to face it. He also sat up and said "Okay" nervously. At this moment, he was even prepared for divorce. Although he just realized that he didn't want a divorce that much. His wife had a decent job, a decent education, and impeccable looks. Except for not being as young as the new young secretary, she was superior to the new young secretary in every way. More importantly, we finally had a child together, the child he had once looked forward to immensely. I turned to look at him, my eyes red as if I had cried before. The sharp eyebrows and eyes suddenly seemed much softer in front of him. Lucas couldn't take his eyes off me immediately. He felt I looked just like when we first started dating. Once upon a time, I was also a little girl whose eyes would turn red after a few words of quarrel with people. Rather than the strong woman he was familiar with now. Seeing him recall the past, I knew this step of the plan was successful. I discussed with him calmly, "Because you helped me when I was in my most difficult time and brought me out of the swamp of my original family, I give you two choices. I gave him two choices: "Either you show your sincerity, sign the agreement transferring all assets to my name, and give me custody of the child. Once you cheat again, you leave with nothing. Make me feel you are not so useless, our marriage can continue, I will give birth to our child within the marriage, and I will forgive your mental cheating. "Or we divorce right now, split the assets equally, I get an abortion, and we become strangers. You chase your little secretary, and I'll go get some male models, raise a young boyfriend, live the good life you want." Lucas looked at the ultrasound report I handed him and fell into deep thought. The report showed I was six weeks pregnant. The child in my belly looked like a little bean sprout. It might not have feelings yet, nor know its parents might divorce. It was just quietly absorbing nutrients and developing there. Thinking that after the divorce, this child would be taken out by cold forceps and thrown into the trash can, and his wife would get male models and raise a young boyfriend. He suddenly regretted it. He shouldn't have, shouldn't have reached this step with me for a little secretary. The price was too high! Chapter 3 But if he signed the agreement transferring all assets to me, wouldn't his efforts over these years be in vain? He fell into a long silence. Reason told him he should negotiate with me. Not the conditions for divorce, but if we don't divorce, could he not sign that asset transfer agreement? He was afraid he couldn't control himself in the end and end up with nothing. Then he spoke, "As long as you forgive me this time, I promise to live well with you in the future. I can give you half of the company shares under my name." But I wasn't buying vegetables at the market. I wouldn't bargain with him. Once I was at a disadvantage in that way, I would lose this round. I shook my head firmly, "You broke my heart. It's hard for me to believe you will live well with me in the future unless I see the sincerity I want." But I knew it was useless to push too hard. I patted his shoulder, "I give you three days to consider. When you've considered, notify me." After speaking, ignoring his attempts to keep me, I moved to the guest room. If I cried and begged him to stay, he might not be guilt-ridden and touched. Instead, he would think I was cheap and couldn't leave him. Instead, my hot and cold attitude would make him unable to forget, unable to let go, unable to figure out! The next morning, I rarely gave myself a break and slept until I woke up naturally. When I went to the living room for breakfast, Lucas was rarely still not at the company so late today. The table was full of various breakfast items I used to like. Obviously, he wanted to talk to me a second time. The divorce negotiation, because I held the chips, turned into a long tug-of-war, really annoying! Chapter 4 Sure enough, after breakfast, he spoke. He knelt on one knee at my feet, gently kissed my hand, trying to move me with gentle words, "Wife, I know I was wrong. I was just impulsive. The person I love is still you. I didn't go to a hotel with her either. Just forgive me this time!" But it wasn't like that. I carefully studied male cheating psychology last night. It said that men cheating isn't impulsive, but a choice made after weighing pros and cons, fully understanding the consequences. Maybe the money earned in recent years made him arrogant, making him think divorce was no big deal, so he let a little secretary dance in front of me. If he went all the way in one direction, set his sights on that woman, divorced me directly for her, and went all the way in one direction, I would respect him as a man. But he wanted both, greedy, wanting both the freshness of the young secretary and reluctant to part with the wife and child at home, then he wasn't worth my soft-heartedness. I didn't relent. After wiping the soy sauce stain from my mouth, I leaned back comfortably in the chair, "The conditions are still the same. They say once unfaithful, never use again. I give you one chance, already the utmost benevolence and righteousness. Consider it well!" Lucas saw I was impervious, left the villa without a word, and went to work. After my best friend knew about this, she gave me an idea, "Chloe, why don't you just divorce him? I'll find you a young boyfriend later. What's the point of eating this half-cooked rice?" I laughed at her clumsiness, "Silly, if I give up my seat now, won't it be cheaper for the vixen outside? "Even if we divorce, it will be after I squeeze the last drop of use value from him!" I thought about it. I'm almost thirty. This child didn't come easily. I definitely want to keep it. That's the question of custody. This is my only child, and also his only child. Once divorced, he will definitely fight me for the child's custody. He has money and background now. I might not win against him. Better dig a pit and make him give it to me willingly. Without wasting a soldier or a pawn, the issue of child custody is solved. After listening, my best friend gave me a thumbs up, "You're awesome!"
