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

When it became quiet outside, Josephine opened the door of the office and prepared to leave. She met Katie who was walking with a cup of coffee in her hand.

Katie instantly freezes in place. “Josephine, why are you in Roderick's office?”

Seeing Josephine holding her cell phone with a hard look on her face, Katie laughed.

“Oh, you didn't see the hot search and run back overnight, right? I'm really sorry that you came back late. Now everyone knows that Roderick is the father of my child.”

Josephine coldly looked at her. “Roderick and I are not divorced yet. If I post our marriage certificate, will you still be able to laugh?”

Katie didn't care at all. “If you're not afraid of ruining Roderick, just go ahead and post it. With him as the top star, falling with me, I won't be at a loss”

Josephine didn't expect that someone could really be shameless to this extent. Katie thought that she had pinched Josephine's weakness and became more and more arrogant.

“How long do you think you can get this marriage certificate? Roderick has already said a long time ago he wants to divorce you and marry me. He also wants to give me a grand wedding to announce our relationship and the child's status to everyone.”

Josephine was stunned for two seconds. She couldn’t believe Roderick actually took the initiative to propose a wedding with Katie.

Over the past seven years, she had mentioned wanting to have a wedding several times, but Roderick had always found excuses to refuse. If she had known about this before today, she would have been heartbroken. But at this time, she didn’t care anymore.  

“Whether to divorce or not isn’t something Roderick can decide on his own. Get out of the way!”

Katie reached out to stop her. “You know what, Josephine Marchand? I hate this condescending look of yours the most.”

After saying that, she raised her hand and poured the coffee on her head. She then heavily shatters the cup. Hearing footsteps approaching, she let out a scream and collapsed to the ground.  

“Josephine, I'm sorry. I know the hot search thing made you unhappy. If this can make you feel happy, I have no complaints.”

Without waiting for Josephine to speak, Roderick had already walked over with his assistant.

“Katie, are you alright?”

The corners of Katie's eyes were red. Her teardrops slid down her cheeks. 

“Roderick, Josephine found out about our official announcement of our relationship and having a child and she was so angry she couldn't help but act out. Please don't blame her.”

Roderick painfully helped her up and glared fiercely at Josephine. “Josephine, you've gone too far! Katie hasn’t even finished her postpartum period yet. How could you treat her like this?”

“Why? Are you worried about your child’s mother?”

Roderick frowned slightly. “Don't talk nonsense! Katie and I are innocent. I’ve already said it’s just a publicity stunt. Why are you still being so petty about it?”

Josephine sneered in her heart, ‘Am I fussing about it, or does he have ulterior motives?’

Roderick of the past never played these publicity stunts. He said he was a family man and wanted to give her enough sense of security. Nowadays, he had actually forgotten all about it.

“Roderick, if I say that I'm also pregnant, which one do you choose, our child or Katie's child?”

Roderick sighed. “Josephine, stop it! You haven't gotten pregnant for so many years, why bother making such a joke?”

Josephine stares straight into his eyes. “I'm serious.”

“Josephine, be reasonable, okay?”

Roderick clearly didn't say anything, but Josephine already knew his choice. She turned and left.

She coldly said, “Roderick, there is only one chance. Don't regret it.”

The assistant was a bit puzzled. “Mr. Girault, what does Mrs. Girault mean? She doesn't want to divorce you, right?”

Roderick waved his hand. “No, she's just angry for a while, I'll give her a gift to comfort her later.”
