After the Eight Years of Love I Gave Up
Chapter 31

Book 3- Chapter 10

Ryker consistently refused to sign the divorce agreement, but soon, The Stone Family suffered a devastating blow.

Not long after, Ryker signed the divorce agreement, and naturally, the company's crisis was resolved Knox hugged me, smiling as he explained to me that this was called "the power of money". After getting the divorce certificate, I was half-forced by Knox to get married.

I actually didn't want to enter into another marriage so quickly, but he said he had already waited for five years and couldn't wait any longer.

My belly grew day by day, and the doubts in my heart grew stronger and stronger.

I wasn't actually certain that the child in my belly was definitely Knox's.

In the middle of the night, I looked at the moonlight outside the window, feeling worried.

Just as I was feeling anxious, I was pulled into an embrace by the man behind me.

Knox's voice was husky from not being fully awake, he came over and kissed my earlobe.

"Why aren't you sleeping? Is your belly uncomfortable?"

I remained silent for a while, then asked in a low voice: "Knox, if this child isn't yours.. what then?"

Knox's warm large hand rested on my belly, gently patting it.

"As long as it's your child, it's my child."

I felt warmth in my heart and was about to say something when I heard him say: "Besides, my sperm is so strong, how could it lose to that wimp? The one in your belly is definitely mine, you'll know when it's born!" Although Knox was arrogant, he actually hit the nail on the head.

After ten months of pregnancy, I gave birth to a boy in April of the following year.

The child looked almost exactly like Knox, we didn't even need to spend money on a paternity test.

Knox held the child and examined him for a long time, then finally planted a kiss on my forehead. "You've worked hard, wife."

"We won't have any more in the future, I won't let you suffer anymore."

Days passed one by one, and our son grew day by day.

I had almost forgotten about my past marriage and those unpleasant memories.

Until one day, I was stopped by a familiar voice in the supermarket.

"Lark."

I turned around, Ryker was standing not far away.

He had lost a lot of weight and aged a lot, I almost didn't recognize him.

Ryker took a few steps forward, nervously rubbing his hands.

"Long time no see, how have you been these years?"

I nodded: "I'm doing well."

"Lark, I....."

"Mom!" My son's crisp voice came from not far away: "Come quick! Dad won't let me buy chocolate!"

I smiled and responded: "Coming!"

Then, I turned to look at Ryker: "Sorry, I have something to attend to."

With that, I turned to leave.

Ryker anxiously spoke again: "Lark!"

"If. if I hadn't done those things back then, would it be us shopping in the supermarket with our child now?"

"Would we have loved each other without doubt and grown old together like we said we would?"

I paused in my steps, then smiled and shook my head.

"Ryker, there are no 'ifs' in this world."

With that, I walked away with big strides.

In the distance, Knox was arguing with our son, both bending down.

I smiled and went to meet them, meeting the happiness I already held in my hands.

The End
