Chapter 3

The sudden light woke me. I had been sleeping deeply.

Seeing David's dark expression, I was a little surprised. Did he actually come back?

Every time he went out with Ella, he'd always stay at her place.

But once, when our five-year-old daughter said she was scared of the dark and wanted him to stay, he'd said she was being melodramatic.

Back then, I would get into huge arguments with him.

But now, I didn't care.

I gave a faint "Hmm," pulled the blanket over my head, and went back to sleep.

David froze, then frowned. "Don't play around. I'm tired. Get up and draw a bath for me. And wash this."

He tossed his jacket at me. The collar had lipstick stains and smelled strongly of Ella's perfume.

It was disgusting.

If this had been before, I would've eagerly gotten up to serve him.

But now, he was just a nuisance. I tossed the jacket back. "You're not disabled. Do it yourself."

David was stunned, then pulled a gift box from his pocket and threw it at me. "I know you're upset. Here, this is for you."

Inside was a silver necklace. But he forgot I was allergic to silver.

What was more ridiculous was that this necklace was something Ella had discarded. I'd seen it on her Instagram.

I laughed coldly and tossed it in the trash. "If someone else doesn't want it, I don't either."

David's patience ran out. "Victoria, have I spoiled you too much?"

I yawned. "I'm tired. I'm going back to sleep."

Seeing my indifference, David gritted his teeth. "Fine! You're pushing me away, don't regret it!"

He turned to leave, but I called out. "Wait."

He smiled, thinking I was playing hard to get.

The next moment, I took a pen and paper from the drawer and handed them to him. "Sign this."

David's eyes turned cold. "You stopped me for some meaningless contract?"

I smirked. "Read it properly first."

After looking, David froze, then snapped the pen in his hand.
