Chapter 770 770

Chloe gritted her teeth in silence. Her heart was aching because this was definitely out of her expectation.

She wanted Vincent to regret it. She wanted him to know what he did was wrong and suffering from all the regrets in his heart. Of course, she didn't want him to beg, because it might softened her a little.

But now, she had already lost hope

Vincent would never regret it because he was simply incapable of doing so.

"Do you think that you will win this divorce case? I asked nothing from you," Chloe said. "I don't want your money, nor do I want you to pay child support. I want to get divorced and officially separate from you."

"And do you think I won't fight for my visitation?" Vincent challenged. "Mackie is my daughter, and I have the right to meet her at least twice weekly."

Chloe went silent after that.

She assessed whether Vincent was sane enough to be granted a visitation right.

Of course, she didn't want to deny Mackie's right to meet with her biological father. After all, blood is thicker than water, and Mackie would eventually want to see Vincent again.

But she was unsure if Vincent was sane enough, and now she doubted it even more after knowing he felt no regret.

"Be honest with me, Vincent. Do you really care for Mackie, or do you just want me to return home because you know I'll never leave Mackie alone with you?"

"I think you already know the answer, wife," Vincent said. "It's not like I don't care about her. But I care more about you. But I will be a good father for her if you come along. After all, you two come in a bundle. So I will be a good father if that means I can also be a good husband for you."

"You are unbelievable," Chloe shook her head in disbelief. "I thought things had changed after what happened. But you're the same bastard who can't even love your offspring."

"You're wrong. I love Mackie as my heir, but I love you more," Vincent said. "I put importance on you more than I do to Mackie. But like I said before, if being a good father is the way to win your heart again, let me do it. I will show you what an incredible father I can be."

...

"I don't understand you, Vincent," Chloe sighed. "I made it clear that I DON'T want to return to you. I don't want to start anew with you. I don't understand why you don't seem to be affected by this whole thing, but my decision is final."

"Do you think I'm not affected by you leaving the mansion and then going against me?" Vincent was surprised. "Do you think I'm that heartless?"

"Well, apparently, you are heartless," Chloe accused. "How come I see not an inch of regret in your face?"

"That's because I don't want to beg in front of you, Chloe. I am a man, and my pride tells me not to beg in front of a woman," Vincent replied. He touched his chest and continued, "But my heart aches every time I remember about you. I know I can't live without you, and I regret releasing you."

"I thought you were just throwing a tantrum, and you will eventually return to me after realizing you can't live without me," Vincent bit his lower lip. He tried to endure the aching heart, but it was too much. He lowered his head to hide his face, but his trembling body and muffled sobs had already told him everything Chloe needed to know.

"I am hurt, Chloe," Vincent said. "I know I'm neither the wisest nor the kindest. I also blamed my father for turning me into this kind of monster that you hate."

"I know I'm wrong for treating you like shit, but I simply thought it's how I could keep you by my side," Vincent said. "I'm not blind, Chloe. I know it's an unconventional way of disciplining my wife, but I am a product of a terrible father. I don't know any better."

Vincent's voice began to tremble as he could not handle his pain.

"I shouldn't cry in front of the woman I love. That's why I tried to maintain repose in front of you," Vincent said. "But I know I'm wrong. I know I made a huge mistake. That's why I'm trying my best to win you back."

"I admit that I can't feel the fatherly love for Mackie, but that doesn't mean I will hurt her. I've never hurt her this whole time, right?" Vincent asked. "My Dad never loved me the way he should, and in exchange, I also can't love Mackie the way I should."

comes crashing down because you destroyed my company as well..."

"But I will still treasure her. I've prepared everything for her because I believe she will be the new heir of the Gray family once we get older and I retire from my company," Vincent said. "It all comes crashing down because you destroyed my company as well..."

"Chloe, I'm willing to forgive everything you did so far, so I'm begging you, please forgive me for everything I did, and..." Vincent finally lifted his head. He stared at Chloe with tears that streamed down his cheek. He looked so fragile and heartbroken right now. It was a sight that shocked Chloe so much because she didn't expect this man to be able to cry.

She expected him to regret it and said sorry, and that was it.

"A—And then what?" Chloe asked nervously.

"... and please come home with our daughter, Mackie. Please teach me how to be a good husband. I will listen to everything you say. I will be a good husband that you want," Vincent said.

He stretched his arm again and opened his palm for Chloe, "Please take my hand, Chloe. This is all I need from you. Please hold my hand and say we can start again as a couple."
