You, Me And Our Genus Twins

Chapter 123 Broken and Hysterical

The slap landed hard and fast on Nicholas’ face, and he staggered backward a few steps, nearly toppling over.

He could feel his cheek tingling, and after a few seconds, a painful and stinging sensation started creeping under his skin. “Just because you deny it doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened! All of us know what you were planning, and you know it too. You can argue all you want, but it won’t change Dad’s mind about the divorce!” He licked his lips and scoffed as he gave Erin a baleful look. Then, he turned to leave.

“Nicholas, where are you going?” Jack hurried after him. Nicholas was not in the right headspace at the moment, and he couldn’t risk having him go out alone.

“Leave me alone!” Nicholas shrugged him off. “I need to go out and clear my head, so don’t follow me!”

He walked out the door without so much as a backward glance.

Jack took two steps after him, but he stopped and turned to look at his crying mother. He was torn, and he quickly beckoned his bodyguards. “Follow Nicholas and keep an eye on him. Make sure he’s safe!”

The bodyguards nodded and immediately went after Nicholas.

On the other hand, Jack went back to his mother and said, “Mom, stop kicking up a fuss. Dad’s already made up his mind to divorce you, and there’s no point in you protesting against it. You have nothing to worry about even if the divorce goes through; you’ll still have me and Nicholas. I promise I’ll take care of you.”

“No, I won’t divorce. I refuse to! I won’t sign those papers even if it means I have to die!” Erin cried, shaking her head vehemently.

If she hadn’t signed that dreadful agreement with Robert all those years ago that compelled her to give up any settlement in the event of a divorce, she might’ve just gone along with Morgan and gotten the paperwork over with. However, with that agreement prevailing over this, she would rather die than divorce!
