Chapter 14
When Emilian returned to the hall, Gabriella was reading on the sofa, with soothing music playing from the tablet beside her.
He had changed into clean loungewear; his previous clothes had been dirtied during the fight with Daniel.
“Do you blame me? I really beat him up pretty badly.”
Gabriella seemed to find the question a bit odd and laughed, “Why would I blame you? You were venting for me, after all. But next time you see him, just treat him like a stranger. Don’t hurt your own hands.”
She didn’t continue discussing the topic and lowered her head to keep reading.
Emilian couldn’t decipher the meaning behind her expression; he was afraid she might soften because of Daniel’s attempts to make amends.
But this time, no matter what, he would never let Daniel take advantage again.
Daniel had multiple injuries, a dislocated right hand, and a fractured rib, showing that Emilian had been ruthless.
Fortunately, there was a doctor on the island who could help treat his wounds.
Jerome couldn’t stop his tears from falling. Crying, he said, “Dad, is it impossible for Mom to forgive us? She doesn’t want us anymore, does she?”

“No, that’s not true. Mom is just deeply hurt by us. We need to apologize to her in the best way we can and beg her to come home.”
He would not give up easily.
So. Daniel began shamelessly waiting outside the villa where Gabriella lived, with his son.
No matter what Gabriella did, they followed her, always smiling, as if just seeing her could replace eating and sleeping.
Jerome started drawing many pictures of his mother and their family to give to Gabriella, while Daniel brought different gifts and flowers every time. Even with a cast on his leg, he insisted on coming in a wheelchair to show his face.
Gabriella couldn’t stand it anymore and began to drive them away.
“Daniel, do you think that just because I haven’t filed for divorce, you still have a chance to win me back?”
Daniel kept smiling and said nothing.
He truly believed that as long as they hadn’t divorced, they were still a married couple going through a rough patch.
Gabriella found it amusing. The reason she hadn’t divorced Daniel at first was partly because it happened so suddenly that she wasn’t prepared, and partly because she wanted to spite Cynthia. As long as Gabriella remained Daniel’s legitimate wife, Cynthia would always be the shameful third party, and her child would always be an illegitimate child who couldn’t hold their head high.
It did not mean she was giving Daniel a chance to save their marriage.
But now that he had found her here, she wanted a divorce and to sever

ties with him and his son completely.
“Get the divorce papers ready. There is no chance for us to start over, Daniel. You are no longer worthy.”
Daniel pressed his lips tightly together, crushing the flowers in his hand out of shape. “Gabriella, are you really going to block every path between us?”
“You know we once loved each other. Those memories weren’t fake. I know you still resent Cynthia, and I admit that at first I thought I still liked her, but in truth, I haven’t been able to live without you for a long time. From now on, there will never be a third person in our family. I swear it on my life.”
“And Jerry, can you really bear to leave Jerry? When you were pregnant with him, we were so happy we couldn’t sleep for several nights. Thinking back, we were so happy then.”
Daniel’s voice choked with emotion, feeling an unprecedented regret for having strayed off course.
