Chapter 3

Not long after Aria left with Liam, my parents called.

As soon as I answered, my mom started persuading me, "Caleb, Aria brought Liam to our place. There's no grudge between husband and wife that can't be resolved overnight. Just talk it out."

I was a bit surprised.

She didn't go to find that lover Jasper but went to my parents instead.

I spoke firmly, "Mom, we must get divorced. Aria admitted herself that she only loves my money, not me as a person."

"Caleb Frost, you're talking nonsense!" Aria's voice came through the receiver, "Caleb Frost, are you even a man? I ruined my figure to give you a child, and it hasn't even recovered properly yet!"

Back when Aria was pregnant with Liam, she had severe morning sickness.

I saw it with my own eyes and felt the pain in my heart.

As long as she said a word, I never said no.

In the middle of the night, if she wanted grapes, even if it was pouring rain outside, I would brave the storm to go from door to door looking for them.

But what did I get in return?

"Aria Sinclair, don't forget I have the video."

After saying this, I heard my mom's voice on the other end of the phone.

"Aria, wake up!"

I hung up the phone and found a reliable lawyer through a contact.

Aria had cheated during our marriage, so the marital property should be equally divided, but personal property couldn't be divided by the other party.

After marrying me, Aria became a full-time housewife.

In all these years, I could count on my fingers the number of times she cooked.

Sometimes when I came home late from business dinners, she would look at me with disgust, "You stink of alcohol. You're not allowed in the bedroom tonight!"

She was used to enjoying life without working for it, used to being pampered.

Well, the taste of hitting rock bottom would surely be unforgettable for her.

The next day, when I went to get the divorce agreement, I received a call from Aria's mother.

"Caleb Frost, you've upset Aria so much she's in the hospital. If you're still a man, come to the hospital and see her!"

Of course I would go.

This good show couldn't go on without me.

I slowly walked into the hospital room. Aria was leaning against the headboard, surrounded by three elders, looking pale.

Seeing me arrive, my mom came over and reproached me, "Caleb, quickly apologize to Aria."

Mrs. Sinclair looked at me with hatred in her eyes.

I let out a light sneer, "I've already drafted the divorce agreement."

Mrs. Sinclair snatched it first, and when she saw the property division, she shouted at the top of her lungs, "Caleb Frost, you're not human! How dare you make Aria leave with nothing!"

"Leave with nothing?" My mom frowned slightly, "Caleb, what exactly happened between you and Aria?"

I looked coldly at Aria, "You won't say it? Do you want me to show them the video?"

Aria's lips quivered, "I'm pregnant."

This sentence was like a stone thrown into a calm lake.

Mrs. Sinclair seemed to have found her backbone and started questioning me, "You, Caleb Frost! Aria is pregnant with your child, and this is how you treat her? Are you even human?!"

My parents also joined in.

"Caleb, pregnancy is no small matter. Your father and I have also quarreled for so many years."

"You said you wanted to be childless before. If it weren't for Aria, we wouldn't have a grandson. You can't divorce."

No wonder Aria went to my parents first.

So this was what she was waiting for.

I took out my phone, found the video, and prepared to play it.

Afraid my parents would be shocked, I planned to just let them hear the audio.

The next second, Aria said, "I'm pregnant, but the child isn't Caleb's."

"Aria, what are you saying!" Mrs. Sinclair pushed Aria, "If the child isn't Caleb's, whose could it be?"
