Leave Me Alone, Ex-Husband!
Chapter 8
Hearing Kahl's questions, Fiona smiled in ridicule. Like she was looking at some stranger, she casually remarked, "Isn't that a good thing for you?"
"Good thing?" Kahl echoed, seemingly annoyed. His oppressive aura made the atmosphere seem colder.
Then, as Fiona seemed to realize something, she faintly said, "Oh, are you displeased because I quickly agreed to our divorce? If so, it's my fault. I should have acted sad and made a fuss."
Kahl said nothing. He didn't know why, but Fiona had been acting strange since yesterday, and he kept feeling a sense of unease.
"What a pity," Fiona continued, pretending to sigh, her smile devoid of emotion. "I'm not in a mood to let you see such a ridiculous drama."
Fiona had kept Kahl in her heart for so many years. Yesterday's torment made her realize it was time to let him go. After all, she had already experienced all there was to it—longings, sorrows, disappointment, heartache, and grievances. If she continued insisting on this feeling, wouldn't she be a masochist?
Moreover, if she were to divorce Kahl, she could focus her time on raising Aaron. Although he was mature for his age, Fiona knew that Aaron still longed to be with her.
So, after making up her mind about their divorce, Fiona believed that there was nothing for them to say. "I still have to go to my patient, so if there's nothing, I'll leave first," Fiona aloofly stated and left without waiting for his response.
However, she hadn't walked a few steps when Fiona heard Kahl's icy voice again accusing her, "You're so eager for our divorce, aren't you? Why? So you can finally be with that wild man?"
Fiona stopped abruptly. Her head snapped at him.
Kahl didn't wait for her response and sneered, "That lover you had six years ago?"
In Kahl's mind, only that could be the reason why Fiona was indifferent and decisive when it came to their divorce. If not for having a lover, why else did Fiona seem eager to divorce him?
Fiona's eyebrows slightly twitched. She didn't understand Kahl anymore. With a hint of anger, she questioned, "What do you mean?"
"Still playing dumb?" Kahl smiled in derision. "Right, you've been doing that for six years, so you are an expert at it."
After saying this, Kahl slowly walked toward her. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "But Fiona, remember this. Even if you divorce me for that wild man, you can forget being with him because, without my permission, you can never get rid of your relationship with me."
His deep, baritone voice sounded mesmerizing, as if Kahl was whispering sweet nothings to Fiona's ear.
However, his words sent a chill down her spine. Kahl was serious, and Fiona knew that he would never break them once he said something.
She had known Kahl for years and knew he could be the most formidable enemy one would hope they'd cross paths. No one could guess what he was thinking, which made him unpredictable. What was even more frightening, after what happened six years ago, Kahl became much more dangerous, and no one even dared to oppose him.
After that, Kahl walked past Fiona without bothering to say goodbye or glancing at her.
Nonetheless, Fiona stood motionless and watched his retreating figure. Worry flashed in her eyes.
Fiona wasn't that much concerned about Kahl's warning since she was never involved with another man, nor had this so-called lover. Kahl was the only person she loved in her life. What a pity that her love for him had unknowingly faded in the past six years. She didn't even realize it until she decided to let him go completely.
However, what caused her anxiety was what Kahl would do if he learned she had a six-year-old son.
Fiona took a deep breath to calm herself while trying to dismiss these thoughts.
When she glanced at her wristwatch, she remembered her appointment to see her patient, so she hurried out of the hospital.
