The Day I Walked Away My Empire Began novel Chapter 108

Of course, there was something even more important behind all this. He’d wanted to give that person a kid.

Lucie stared at him, feeling completely numb inside. “You’re out of excuses, aren’t you, Steven?”

“If you really think I’ve misunderstood you, then just divorce me already. Maybe then I’ll finally see you as a real man.”

Steven’s chest tightened and his expression grew dark. “Lucie, do you want a divorce so badly because you’ve found someone else?

“If you’ve fallen for another guy, just say it. I’ll let you go. No drama.

“I don’t want a divorce because I still care about you. I don’t want our family to fall apart.”

Lucie’s face was ice-cold. “There’s no one else. I just don’t see the point of staying married anymore.”

Steven let out a heavy sigh and paused for a long moment. “Is this all because of Cody?”

“Fine. I’ll admit it. Cody isn’t your biological child. But you still carried him, Lucie. If you could just move past that, couldn’t he still be your son?

“If you can’t accept it, we can have another kid. One that’s really ours. Hell, we can have five kids if you want.”

Hearing him finally say it out loud, Lucie felt her heart shatter all over again. Tears poured down her face.

“Why? Why would you do this to me? Why did you have to lie and manipulate me like this?”
