Chapter 3 Fulfill Your Wish

Whenever they visited the Clemons family, Gerald Clemons, Brendan's grandfather, would urge them to have a baby as soon as possible.

And they tried. Adeline had taken lots of different kinds of medicines, and Brendan also worked very hard, trying to let her get pregnant.

There was a time when he would come home every night.

He would have sex with her, but only in an effort to complete the task of getting her pregnant.

Whenever they "made love", Adeline wouldn't feel any ounce of love from him. His attitude towards her was always indifferent.

It seemed that he wouldn't have even touched her if he wasn't under pressure from his family.

In fact, he had never even kissed her.

They had such "meaningless" sex countless times.

Yet she still didn't get pregnant.

Every time she'd come back to the Clemons family, she'd feel very uneasy, because she felt as though the Clemons saw her as nothing but a vessel to give birth to their heir.

Recently, she had been under a great deal of pressure and fainted from the stress. She was taken to the hospital to undergo a physical examination.

When she woke up, the doctor bore some bad news.

"Your uterus is defective. It won't be easy for you to get pregnant. Moreover, on the off chance that you do get pregnant, it'll be difficult to keep the baby. You should discuss this with your husband. Why not adopt a child instead? Or, you can also live your lives without children."

Not only was it difficult for her to get pregnant, she'd likely get a miscarriage if she did. In a word, she couldn't have a baby of her own...

The doctor's words echoed in Adeline's ears. She had never felt so helpless in her life. The Clemons would find out about this sooner or later.

Gerard had been urging her to have a baby ever since she married Brendan. If he found out that she was infertile, he would probably ask her to leave the Clemons family.

At the thought of this, her face turned pale.

She fell silent for a while before finally speaking up.

"Brendan, you've been sleeping with me just to fulfill your grandfather's wish, right?"

Brendan was a little stunned by her question and frowned tightly.

"Do you really have to ask?" he answered her question with another one of his own.

When he saw Adeline's bitter smile, he somehow fell silent.

From what he knew, Adeline had always been an obedient and submissive wife, but today she seemed to have changed into another person.

Lowering her eyes, she said, "Yes, I know it all too well. I know you've never liked me. In fact, you've always hated me. Being with me is torture for you."

The dim light illuminated her pale face.

Brendan could clearly see the coldness and firmness in Adeline's eyes.

"So from now on, you don't have to force yourself to be with me. Let's divorce. I'll fulfill your wish."

She would fulfill his wish.

She would fulfill their wish.

She didn't want to be the one to get in the way of Brendan's relationship with Tiffany, nor did she want to be the pathetic wife who tried her best to please her husband who didn't even love her.

There was no need for Brendan to do the most intimate thing with a woman he didn't love, especially while he loved someone else.

Sometimes, when he was drunk, he'd call that woman's name, which broke Adeline's heart.

Her marriage of three years was like a bad dream. Now that she had woken up, she didn't want to pretend anymore.

Brendan was surprised at first, and then looked at Adeline with unmasked disdain.

After they got married, she kept trying to please him, hoping that he would fall in love with her someday, but he had already warned her from the beginning.

He had warned her not to try and take anything that didn't belong to her.

Narrowing his dark eyes, he felt that Adeline was getting more and more insatiable. Just earlier that day, she even dared to slap him on the face!

Recalling the slap, his expression became even gloomier.

"Divorce?" he sneered. "Have you made up your mind?"

"Yes."

Without missing a beat, Adeline took out the divorce agreement from her bag and handed it to Brendan. "I've already signed it. Please sign it as well so we can take this to the court."

After that, she headed out of the house, suitcase in tow.

Brendan didn't expect that Adeline was serious.

He watched her leave, her petite figure receding in the distance, and said in a calm voice, "Don't come back ever again once you step out of this house."

Come back?

She had spent three years trying to please him. She took care of him wholeheartedly, but he treated her with indifference and coldness. Why would she ever want to come back and subject herself to such an unpleasant experience again?
