A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Quivering with emotion, Vera revealed her innermost desires, her voice trembling, “I yearn to smoke, Rena… I crave the solace of a cigarette.”

Sensing Vera’s desperation, Rena helped retrieve a cigarette from her friend’s bag, offering it to her trembling hands. With her head bowed,

Vera cautiously lit the cigarette, taking a drag before summoning the courage to continue.

Her voice still quivering, she disclosed a disheartening revelation. “Aline underwent an amniocentesis. The results revealed she carries a baby boy. Joseph’s parents welcomed her into their home, providing her with attentive care, while the staff all treat her like she’s Joseph’s real wife.”

Vera’s gaze locked with Rena’s as she made a poignant declaration, “Rena, I yearn for a divorce.”

Understanding the gravity of Vera’s decision, Rena consented, yet a lingering fear clutched her heart. She feared that Joseph would not acquiesce to the dissolution of their marriage with ease.

In response to Rena’s concerns, Vera emitted a soft chuckle, an echo tinged with bitterness.

“Do you believe Joseph still harbors feelings for me? No, his apprehension stems from the fear that Aline’s baby may not safely come into this world. Should he divorce me for the sake of that child and then Aline fails to deliver, he would end up with nothing and become a laughingstock.”

Caught off guard by this revelation, Rena’s surprise was palpable, the weight of the situation sinking in.

Having finished her cigarette, Vera added in a hushed tone, her words laden with concern, “Rena, I’m afraid that what occurred between Roscoe and me will have repercussions for you. I heard from him that you had a good rapport with Robert. However, Robert’s mother is a challenging person to get along with.”

In a gesture of comfort, Rena gently patted Vera’s hand.

“Vera, let us refrain from discussing this matter for now.”

Yet, deep within Rena, a vague sense of unease lingered.

She couldn’t shake the feeling that Robert’s absence from the banquet was somehow connected to the events involving Vera and Roscoe.

However, Rena harbored no intention of placing blame on Vera.

During her most trying moments, Vera had stood by her side, extending her utmost support. And she would do the same.

That night, the weight of their thoughts prevented restful slumber as they shared the same bed.

Troubled minds occupied their nocturnal hours.

As dawn broke, Joseph arrived, his bloodshot eyes betraying the turmoil within him. Standing at the doorstep, he inquired, “Is Vera here?”

Rene nodded, granting him entry.

Maintaining an air of composure, she calmly poured a glass of water for Joseph, placing it on the coffee table, “I will fetch Vera, You two should have a sincere conversation,”

Rena’s composed demeanor struck Joseph as surprising, prompting him to cautiously ask, “How ts she?”

A faint smile adorned Rena’s face as she replied, “What do you think?

Your parents have taken Aline under their wing. Joseph… Many once envied your marriage and now many are left astounded by your actions towards her.”

Feeling a pang of embarrassment, Joseph touched his nose, struggling to find words to justify his behavior.

“I didn’t take Aline seriously. Besides, Vera also had an affair…”

Sensing that further words were unnecessary, Rena held her silence.

She entered the room and called out to Vera, urging her, “You should engage in a heartfelt conversation with him.”

After a while, Vera emerged from the room, her countenance bearing the weight of their conversation.

Perhaps due to the intensity of their argument the previous night, they found themselves lacking the energy to engage in further quarrels that day.

Sitting across from Joseph, Vera spoke with a cold detachment, “Let us proceed with a divorce.”

Joseph’s gaze remained fixed ‘upon her, his expression a mix of contemplation and disbelief.

After a prolonged silence, he finally responded, his words carrying a hint of desperation, “My parents took Aline to their home without informing me! I did not request such actions. Vera… you will forever be my legal wife! As long as you sever ties with Roscoe, we can restore our previous harmonious relationship.”

Vera averted her gaze, peering out of the window as she contemplated his proposition.

With a somber tone, she questioned, “And what about the child?”

Joseph found himself at a loss for words.

In his heart, Vera held a significant place but so too did his unborn son.

Aline carried his child and his parents showered her with care and affection. This immutable fact lingered in his mind, impervious to change.

Meeting his gaze, Vera suddenly erupted into laughter.

Her voice was tinged with bitter irony as she said, “Joseph, I can’t fathom why I married you all those years ago. You are nothing but a coward. In all honesty, ever since my affair with Roscoe, I’ve ceased to care about our marriage. You may choose whomever you desire as your wife.”

Aware of Vera’s affair with Roscoe and reprimanded harshly by his parents, Joseph saw little point in pleading with her any longer.

“Very well, I agree to divorce you! However, you are the one who shattered our marriage. You shall not lay claim to any of my possessions!

Furthermore, let us finalize the formalities six months from now. By doing so, when Aline gives birth, I can immediately register our son’s place of residence.”

Vera’s laughter rang out, echoing with a bitter irony. Was she truly the one responsible for the demise of their once-promising marriage?

Regardless, she no longer wished to engage in further arguments with Joseph. Her sole desire was to bring an end to this union.

Nodding in agreement, Vera’s response unsettled Joseph, evoking a hint of discomfort within him.

“Well… You may continue residing in the house.”

“No, I will move out today!”

Vera’s unexpected determination caught Joseph off guard.

He absentmindedly placed a cigarette between his lips, forgetting to ignite it for an extended period.

In that moment, a tinge of sadness washed over him.

There was atime when he had deeply loved Vera.

She had possessed an undeniable allure and breathtaking beauty, requiring his considerable effort and time to win her affections.

Aline, on the other hand, was a different kind of woman.

From the beginning to the end, Aline had embodied dissolute tendencies.

It was for this woman that he had divorced Vera.

All of a sudden, Joseph found himself unable to meet Vera’s gaze, unable to bear the weight of her disdain and her entanglement with Roscoe.

It took Rena two days to find a suitable residence for Vera.

Rena had hoped that Vera would choose to live with her, believing that their bond as friends could provide solace. However, Vera asserted that they were both adults with their own private lives.

Rena couldn’t help but suspect that Vera’s decision was influenced by the fact that Roscoe would visit her at her new home for intimate encounters.
