She was pregnant.
Arabella Ruth sat on the sofa hugging her knees, somewhat lost in thought. In her hand was the pregnancy test form that she just picked up from the hospital during the day.
Gestation period:5 weeks.
She subconsciously stroked her belly, and her inner apprehension grew stronger and stronger.
Three years of marriage didn't melt Ezra James's cold heart, and her single-minded dedication was like a joke on the contrary.
But she still can't help but look forward to it, maybe he'll accept the baby...
Suddenly, the sensor door at the foyer rang.
The man who came in was tall and strong, with a black and gray suit wrapped around his broad shoulders and narrow waist. As his cold eyes swept over, there was not a hint of expression on his indifferently handsome face.
Arabella shoved the pregnancy test sheet into her bag as soon as she stood up in a panic, "Ezra..."
The man walked slowly into the living room and interrupted her, "Let's get a divorce."
Arabella jerked her head up and looked at him incredulously.
Abruptly, she pulled at the corner of her mouth and forced a smile, "What's wrong? Why do you want a divorce all of a sudden? Did I do anything wrong?"
The man gathered his eyes with a cold and resolute face which Arabella couldn't read, "Beth has returned to Austin. You have been sitting in the position of Mrs. James for long enough. It's time for a change."
Beth Ruth?
Arabella froze on the spot upon hearing the name. It's been too long since she heard this familiar yet strange name.
The memories in her mind came flooding back, and she remembered the "little sister" who had once possessed all of Ezra's favor and preference.
She's back?
Arabella looked at the man in front of her in a bit of a daze, and her heart ached as if it had been torn apart.
From the beginning to the end, his heart only belonged to Beth Ruth ...
"What if I don't agree?"
Arabella's voice trembled, but her gaze was stubbornly looking at Ezra.
She had loved this man for so many years that she finally became his wife and even got pregnant with his child... Why must she let go as soon as that woman returned?
Ezra seemed to have guessed that she would disagree, and his tone was mocking, sneering in disgust, "I'm not asking for your opinion, just informing you. You know who I love, if grandfather hadn't forced me to marry you, do you think I would have given you more than a passing glance?"
Arabella had a momentary choke. Although she knew what he said was true, her heart still hurt so much that she couldn't breathe.
She was so aggrieved and angry that she couldn't hold back her tears and said, "Ezra James, you agreed to marry me first. Now that grandpa is still alive, how can you even think about divorce? What, you think I'm too much of an eyesore and can't wait to let Beth Ruth marry into the James' family?"
As soon as the words just left her mouth, the man threw a hard slap in her face.
"You are not worthy to mention her name!"
Arabella covered her face. She was completely dazed, and her delicate body couldn't stop trembling.
It was the first time that Ezra had hit her, just because of Beth Ruth.
Her heart was stinging and she snapped through suppressed sobs, "I'm not getting a divorce! Why should I step aside when she gets back? ! I'm the one who's your wife!"
A trace of impatience flashed in Ezra's eyes as he directly pushed Arabella down on the sofa and tore her clothes with his hands, sneering, "You are not willing to divorce even after all is said and done to this extent. Arabella, you're such a bitch!"
