My Best Friend My Husband And My Divorce Chapter 17
Looking at her incredulous expression, I continued to twist the knife:
“If he really loved you, he couldn’t have let you be a mistress in the shadows for so many years.”
“Even if he and I actually divorced, he would never marry you.”
When Caleb first learned of Zoe’s identity as an illegitimate child, his first reaction was undisguised revulsion.
As a child, his father’s mistress had once come to their door pregnant, forcing his mother to divorce, causing his mother to fall down the stairs and miscarry.
Since then, he had deeply despised mistresses who destroyed other people’s families.
A tech industry nouveau riche like him, who extremely valued his reputation, would never marry a woman who was the product of a mistress affair, especially an illegitimate daughter.
That would be slapping his deceased mother.
Zoe’s breathing suddenly became rapid, her voice shrill and sharp.
“Shut up! If you dare mention that word again, I’ll tear your mouth apart!”
She suddenly raised her hand to slap me.
The next second, her wrist was caught firmly in mid-air by a man.
Caleb had arrived at some point, his face terrifyingly dark.
Seeing who it was, Zoe immediately switched to her pitiful act out of reflex.
“Caleb, she called me a mistress and said I’m not worthy of you.”
She looked at him with red-rimmed eyes, just like a high school student being bullied.Â
