The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

rate?” Someone in front spoke up to help answer the question.

Ye Yuwei stopped talking once and for all.
Gu Juexi hadn’t come out.
‘I am furious!’

“Aunt,” Yuan Mo’s silvery voice vibrated in Ye Yuwei’s ear suddenly.

Ye Yuwei turned around to look at the approaching boy who was holding a plate with a watermelon on it.
“Hi Yuan Mo, what is this?”

“Aunt, it’s very hot today.
This watermelon is from my house’s orchard, it’s for you.” Yuan Mo passed the plate with the watermelon to Ye Yuwei.
“Try it, Aunt, it’s really sweet.”

Ye Yuwei squatted to be on eye level with little Yuan Mo.
She looked at him and reached out to ruffle his hair.
“Thank you.
Why are you so well-behaved?”

Yuan Mo smiled radiantly.
His tender cheeks flushed pink.
“Aunt, you enjoy the watermelon.
I have to head back to my grandfather to search for herbs on the hill.”

Ye Yuwei stared at the little boy who was running towards an old man with an herb basket on his back, the plate in her hands.
She thought of her own dear son who was just as obedient as that boy.
She missed her children a little bit more each day.

Luckily, today was the last day.

“I told you, that kid has bad intentions,” Gu Juexi’s gravelly voice sounded behind her.

The smile on Ye Yuwei’s face disappeared in a split second.

Gu Juexi stared at Yuan Mo’s back that was slowly fading as though he was looking at his rival.
He couldn’t stop thinking that the boy had an ill-intentioned purpose.

Ye Yuwei wanted to walk inside with the watermelon when her hand was grabbed by Gu Juexi instantly.

Ye Yuwei lowered her gaze to look at his skinny hand that was holding hers.
The bones were sticking out and the green nerves were almost visible on the back of his hand.
He was indeed a lot thinner than he used to be because of the injury.

Gu Juexi pulled Ye Yuwei toward a quiet place where not many people wandered.
He pressed her against the wall and squinted at the woman who was struggling in his grip.
