After the Son-in-law Divorced, His Ex-wife's Family Regretted it

Sitting on the sofa, Sofia turned her head away, not even sparing a glance at her injured daughter.

“It was a mistake to have her in the first place. Because of you two, the entire Savannah laughs at me. Keeping you in our family is already more than enough. I’ll listen to whatever my parents and sister say on this matter.”

My daughter clung to my clothes tightly upon hearing her mother’s heartless words.

I closed my eyes hard and sighed deeply.

Any last bit of gratitude I had for Sofia and any patience I had for the Robertson family had been completely worn out.

They were right; marrying Sofia Robertson was me reaching above my station.

I was an orphan who managed to get into a top university in the country to study finance.

I had no family background, but my outstanding appearance brought me a lot of unwanted attention, with Sofia being the most persistent.

I was well aware of my situation and rejected her advances repeatedly, focusing solely on my future.

However, just as I secured a job offer from a globally renowned investment firm, with a bright future ahead, Sofia drugged me at the graduation party and ended up pregnant with my child.

To an orphan like me, this child was incredibly precious.

So, for my daughter’s sake, I accepted Sofia’s proposal and became a live-in son-in-law to the Robertson family.

The Robertsons never trusted me. They even forced me to give up my job opportunity, threatening me with a miscarriage, reducing me to a servant, washing clothes and cooking, becoming the most ridiculed man in Savannah.

Over the years, I endured their countless humiliations, but they refused to acknowledge my daughter’s existence, telling the world that Henry was their only grandchild.

Luna’s mother, Sofia, never looked at her after she was born, as if Luna didn’t exist.

What they saw as nothing was my treasure, the daughter I raised painstakingly. How could I let them humiliate her like this?

I stared coldly at Stella, the eldest daughter of the Robertson elders.

“You want Luna to apologize to Henry? That’s impossible,” I spoke.

Stella laughed in disbelief.

“Ethan, who do you think you are to defy me? Are you serious? Do you think you have the right to refuse?”

Sofia, slightly surprised, still sided with Henry.

“It’s just crawling under his legs. They’re just kids, what’s the big deal? Stop being so melodramatic. If you don’t want to be kicked out of our family, just let her do it.”

Hearing her mother speak, Luna loosened her grip on me and tried to get down again. I held her back immediately and finally voiced the thought that had crossed my mind countless times over the past eight years.

“Sofia, I want a divorce.”
