Chapter 6
The divorce was postponed for now, but the property settlement had been finalized. We went through the legal procedures because I was worried that Davon might change his mind if we waited too long.
The house and assets were better in my hands.
After signing the agreement, I kept trying to spend more time with him, wanting to give Rainie some beautiful memories.
Of course, this was true. Rainie was innocent, and she would grow up in a single–parent family. I needed to protect her with some kind, even if white lies, to shield her childhood.
As for Davon, who could resist a woman who was so full of devotion and heart? A woman
who had his child and would continue to be his wife even if he deceived her in the future.
Davon wavered.
But he wanted to delay things. His mistress outside, however, wasn’t letting him.
That night, after we went to bed, I heard low voices coming from the bathroom.
A woman’s sharp voice rang out.
“Davon! Are you softening up? Don’t forget, I’m carrying your son!”
Davon’s voice came back, muffled. “Lower your voice. How am I softening up?”
“In a couple of days, we’ll get a divorce. You don’t like me having that daughter of yours, so I’ll just throw her out once you’re free.”
The woman’s voice softened.
“Fine, but you’d better play your part well. Don’t let anything slip.”
“Of course,”
Davon opened the door and saw me standing there, his face flashing with panic.

I stepped forward, grabbing his hand, concern all over my face.
“Darling, what’s wrong? Are you feeling sick again?”
“You know, if you’re having any issues, just talk to me. Don’t make yourself suffer.”
Davon exhaled in relief and followed my lead.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of everything.”
I smiled even wider.
Davon didn’t notice, and after murmuring a few praises about my dutifulness, he fell asleep.
I lowered my lashes, looking at the man who had been my husband for five years and my companion for seven.
Davon probably didn’t even realize that his face had become thinner, his complexion much grayer. He no longer looked as full of life as before.
This was the effect of his illness, but perhaps he thought it was just because of his recent exhaustion.
But that’s okay. I’d share his burden and keep it all together for him.
