Chapter 280 - She left them

Yun Xuan was bewildered at her husband's ability to say such things with a straight face. He wanted to make her love him just so he could kill her? That sounded like something homicidal maniacs would do. Why did it have to come from Tyler's mouth? No. Tyler was not that type of person.

She knew that if she didn't hear everything today, she wouldn't be able to take it if he said it on any other day. So she asked, "What's your relationship with Ruolin?"

Tyler remained silent for so long that she thought he was not going to answer, but he did. "Ex wife."

Ex wife. So Ruolin was telling the truth. "I didn't tell you that we were married before because you may not want to marry a divorcee."

"Why then did she act like the younger sister who has feelings of incest for her brother?"

"It was an act."

Yun Xuan had just repeatedly received huge shock after huge shock. The main point of all this was that her father was a criminal and a psychopath. It was possible that Tyler was not even the only person he had offended. Now that she thought about it, there was quite a number of people that didn't like her father. It was suddenly creepy.

At this point, Tyler would have been the best person to help her uncover the secrets she had been trying to uncover but she didn't want to. It no longer mattered to her.

Tyler was looking at her as though he was waiting for his final verdict. A few minutes later, Yun Xuan stood up. "Tyler, I want a divorce."

"What?"

"Didn't you hear me? I said I want a divorce. It's not because you have an ex wife or a son. I just can't be with a man who planned to kill me before. If your family forced you now, would you succumb to pressure and kill me?"

"I wouldn't. Yun Xuan, I love you. I wouldn't bear to hurt you."

"Really? Then tell me this; why did you find Wan Jia?"

"…"

How did she know?

"You are wondering how I knew? It was quite easy to find out. Lu Aotian came looking for you. Do you think that if it wasn't related to his fiancée, Lu Aotian would have time to talk to small fries like you?" Yun Xuan did not know of Wan Jia's marriage.

"…"

Was she really calling her own man a small fry?

"Why did you look for her?"

"I needed her help."

She knew it.

"Hmph! It doesn't matter anymore."

…

When the little lad Qin Zhuo'an heard that his new mother had left even before they met, he cried little heart out.

One had to know that he did not have a close relationship with his mother. Although his mother loved him, it was only because she was his mother. She was naturally not a kind woman and was often too busy to spend time with him. Since his father was even more busy, she would always leave him at his great grandma's.

For the little lad, his great grandma was a closer relative than his mother. When his father mentioned that he had a new wife, the little lad was so happy that he almost couldn't sleep. He was even happier when his father said that as long as he was well behaved, she would love him like her own child.

Alas, she had left them. Was it because she thought that he was a bad little boy?

If he wanted to prove to her that he was obedient and lovable, would anyone give him the chance?

...

On the other hand, Tyler had drunk himself stupid. He had adamantly refused to sign the divorce papers but even then, his wife had left their home. She had found herself a condo on her own. He knew that it was going to be difficult to bring her back but he had to try, right?

Also, that Ruolin was so damned that he really wanted to strangle her. Why would she tell a six year old boy that his new mother had left him? Was she very happy to see her own son cry so heartbrokenly?

Weeks passed.

On a certain morning, Little Jia was bubbling in happiness when she woke up.

She was finally four! Have you ever waited endlessly just for your birthday? That was Little Jia.

She jumped out of her bed and looked out through the window. The view from her room was the best! The ocean waves looked especially beautiful as they hit against the land.

That was right! They were on an island. Her Daddy had brought them over the previous day. Her birthday party would be held on this island villa.

…

In the master bedroom.

Wan Jia was wearing a bohemian skirt and was waiting for her husband to dress up. She was going to check on the final preparation for the little girl's party. Many people had been invited over and most of them had spent the night in the seven star hotel nearby. Although there was a lot of space in this villa, most of the guests did not want to be third wheels and chose to stay in the hotel.

This was Little Jia's private island.

Wan Jia looked at her husband who was dressing up. "Don't you think Little Jia might turn out to be one of those spoilt girls who care about nothing but wealth?"

"She wouldn't. Why would you think that?"

Wan Jia raised an eyebrow at him. "Who buys a private island as a birthday present for a four-year-old?"

"I do." He knew what his wife was worried about. "I won't let her be spoilt."
