When My Husband and His Son Chose Another Woman, I Pursue My Own Happiness

As I watched the picture, I suddenly burst out laughing. Then, I made an online appointment to register the divorce at the City Hall.

Then, Theo called.

After a moment's hesitation, I finally answered.

"Serena, I've sent the cat away. Come back now."

I took a breath, a dull ache throbbing in my lower abdomen.

"Theo, I don’t want to argue now, but we really can't go on like this."

With that, I hung up.

The next day, I took a taxi to the company and handed my resignation letter to the HR manager.

But he looked at me awkwardly. "Serena, I really don't agree. You should ask President Theo about this."

I hated causing trouble.

I walked to Theo's office with my resignation letter. Even before I entered, I heard laughter from inside.

"Theo! Why are you like this?"

Through the frosted glass, I saw the happy family of three. After taking a deep breath, I pushed open the office door.

"Sir, please sign this."

Theo's previously gentle expression turned grim as he stared intently at the resignation letter.

"Are you leaving your marriage and your job? I thought you were mature, but it seems you lack the common sense to assess the situation."

Theo's words were cold. He seemed to treat marriage and career as mere negotiations and collaborations. And my request for a divorce and resignation felt like sacrificing a promising future to him.

"Sign it."

My lower abdomen ached and I forced myself to say two words, fighting the discomfort.

Alexa felt uneasy when she saw Theo's reluctance to sign.

"Serena, I don't mean to take Theo or Elio, but you're too narrow-minded as a woman. I'm looking at my own child. Is that illegal?"

Elio pouted and hugged Alexa tightly, staring at me defensively.

"Dad, don't have her anymore. Only Dad and Mommy Alexa are my family! She's not!"

Elio casually picked up the pen holder on the table and threw it at me. I dodged it. But as I moved, a sharp, cramping pain ripped through my lower body.

My leg felt a little cold and I looked down and saw blood gushing out.

"Ah!"

A scream echoed in my ears and my vision went black as I collapsed to the ground.

The assistant outside rushed in and quickly called 122.

"122? This is the 25th floor of blue corporation Building. Someone just had an miscariage and is experiencing abnormal lower body bleeding..."

Standing in shock, Theo felt his legs go numb. He grabbed the secretary's assistant's arm and asked in disbelief, "What did you say? She had an miscariage? She's pregnant?"

He stumbled back a few steps, looking at me, unconscious on the ground, his heart choking.
