In the Years That Followed, There Was No Trace of You in My Life

After seven years of secret marriage and three months of pregnancy, Josephine Marchand found out that her husband and his ex-girlfriend had officially announced their relationship.

“Dad, I agree to leave my husband and my son. I will leave Roderick Girault and come home to take over the company.”

“Josephine, it's good to think about it. Roderick is seven years older than you. During your marriage, he is still coupled up with that first love of his and is by no means a good match for you. You should deal with the divorce and household registration as soon as possible. I will wait for you to come back.”

“Okay.”

Just after hanging up the phone, the hot search that popped up on the cell phone attracted Josephine's attention again.

#OMG! They have a child.

A well-known entertainment reporter posted a video: [Announcing a relationship only after giving birth to a child, is it true love or is it borrowing a child to get to the top?]

In the video, Roderick was full of smiles. His hands carefully held the newborn child. And he lowered his head and kissed again and again.

Katie leaned on him and smiled with her hands covering her mouth. They were just like a happy family of three.

Roderick reposted the Instagram post with the caption: 

[Yes, we have a child. I love him and I love his mom even more, @Katie_].

In just a few seconds, Roderick's agency, fan club and friends in his circle sent their blessings.

Everyone knew that Roderick was going to officially announce his relationship and the birth of his child with Katie. But only she and her manager were still in the dark. 

Josephine gave a self-deprecating smile and threw the pregnancy test results into the trash can. No wonder Roderick who had always been inseparable from her, unprecedentedly supported her to stop her work and go into the mountains for purification this time. 

If she hadn't found out that she was pregnant and ended her cultivation early, she was afraid that she wouldn't have seen this ridiculous scene.

Her seven years of misery were harrowing and unbearable. Fortunately, she had come to her senses and decided to let go of Roderick.

“Mr. Girault, the official announcement is so popular and has become a trending topic. What if Mrs. Girault knows about it?” The worried voice of the little assistant sounded.

“Don't worry, she won't know.” 

Roderick's tone was without ripples, “There is no signal in the deep mountains and old forests. When she comes back after staying for a full month, the news will have long passed.”

“When Mrs. Girault comes back? This matter will definitely not be concealed. Will she be angry at that time?”

“It’s already done. Whether she accepts it or not, it can't change the reality. If she gets angry, the worst that can happen is divorce.”

A sentence that pierced Josephine's heart. Katie was Roderick's first love. It was because of her that Roderick chose to become an actor.

When Roderick's career was booming, he jumped to the top of the stream. But Katie fell to the bottom of the black news. Nine months ago, Roderick saved Katie from a humiliating situation at a dinner table.  

After learning that she was pregnant and had been dumped by her boyfriend, Roderick immediately spent a huge amount of money to cancel her contract and signed her into his own company.

He gave her resources and accompanied her to speculate on CP. And even when she gave the word, he was able to leave the awards ceremony just to accompany her for her maternity check-up.

For the sake of Katie, Roderick abandoned Josephine countless times. He would leave her behind on dates, during business trips and even when she was sick.  

Even on important occasions like their wedding anniversary, a single call from Katie would make him abandon Josephine and rush to her side.  

Josephine had always believed that Roderick was simply pitying Katie, which was why he couldn’t help but care for her. It wasn't until the paparazzi came to her with photos of their affair that Josephine realized how naive she had been.  

Upon hearing the word ‘divorce’, Katie's eyes lit up. “Roderick, it's a good thing you're here. Otherwise, I really can't hold on. If Josephine misunderstands, I'm willing to take my child and leave. We will never cause you any trouble.”

She bit her lip slightly. Her trembling voice revealed helplessness and vulnerability. Roderick's heart softened. He gently wiped away her tears.

“Don't cry, Katie. I won't leave you and your child behind. If Josephine can't accept it, I'll divorce her.”

Having said that, Roderick firmly believed in his heart that even if Josephine knew about this matter, she would not leave him.

Katie said coquettishly, “Don't talk nonsense about divorce. Josephine will be so sad if she hears it.”

Josephine smiled and lowered her eyes to hide the mockery in her gaze. Whether she was sad or upset, it didn't matter. Anyway, everything was about to end.
