Chapter 3 You are my husband
“Ann?“asked Steward.
He was frozen as if he somehow got stuck. It was obvious that he was a little awkward.
Wearing her high heels, Ann walked toward them in slow pace.
She still looked gorgeous and beautiful like two years ago when Nora met her in the country of Sebroiria.
Nora was not happy about Ann’s appearing in their life. There was only ten days left so why did she have to appear before them? Ann stood still two meters away and she stared at Steward,sighing.“I came here just to make sure that you live a happy life.Since now you are living happily together with her,it’s not necessary for me to stay here.Take care…”
“Don’t go!“Steward got a little flurried,not willing to let her go.
A thought stuck Nora,“If she lets Steward go this time, they are really over.”
But Steward couldn’t wait to get rid of Nora. He took a huge but unsteady step toward Ann and gave her a tight hug.
Nora saw it clearly that Ann was doing her show–off face. Her head fell on Steward’s shoulder with her arms around his waist.
Nora’s body quivered in anger.Even though now it was the early summer,she still felt cold inside.
Her eyes turned red and she reached out, hoping to pull him back.
“Steward, you are my husband. How could you do this to me?Ann you are such a shameless woman!”
While Ann was keeping quiet in his arms, Nora was screaming like fishwife! At that time,Steward was embarrassed so he shook
off her hands.
“Will you stop?” asked Steward.
Nora fell on the ground,his words making her freeze. She was caught by a throbbing pain in her head.
Ever since he lost his eyesight, his hearing had become better. Hearing the moan of pain from Nora,he showed concern for her by asking, “Are you alright?“in such a caring way that he himself did not notice.
Ann said, “Nora did not hit her head, but why does she make people believe that she has a bad headache?”
“Why the act, Nora?“Steward frowned for Ann’s words made him believe that Nora was pretending to have a headache.He
thought it was foolish to show concern for her at that time.
He couldn’t believe that he was almost cheated by her.
The great pain put Nora in a bad mood, and the sight of Ann still being in Steward’s arms made her even more angry.She yelled
at Ann in a hoarse voice, “Get out of here! Get out of here!”
Ann saw Nora glaring at her and was afraid to anger her.
“I am leaving,Steward. “Ann said.
This time Steward did not make her stay.Soon, he heard the sound of her car’s engine.Ann has gone.
However, Nora still kept saying“Get out of here“again and again.It seemed that she had lost her mind.Steward couldn’t stand her
anymore and gave a slap in her face.
“Did you really lose your mind?”
Nora almost couldn’t support herself.The moment she wanted to explain,Steward added coldly, “I want a divorce.”
She was surprised by his words and it took a while for her to digest the information. She was murmuring, “There are only ten days left…”
“What’s the difference between today and ten days later, “Steward wore a cold face and said with impatience,“We will get a divorce in the end.”
The words were on the tip of her tongue. She wanted to let him know that she might leave him for good and never see him again. She didn’t say it but said, “Did you forget what I said?I will never agree to divorce even if I die if you don’t treat me as your wife
for a month…”
“It is none of my business.I will divorce you anyway.”
Steward interrupted her, and what he said really hurt her like a knife cutting on her heart.
Her heart was no longer complete since Steward’s car accident or even since their marriage. Her broken heart with patches
sewed all over was seriously wounded.
But now the patches on longer worked, the broken heart kept bleeding and shriveling.
“It is true that I am dying.“Nora said with a quiver in her voice. She added in a strangled voice, “I have got really sick and few days
left for me.”
