Chapter 1081: 1081. You scared me to death

She really didn’t want to divorce Christopher Moore.

Even if admitting this thought was humiliating, she was still willing to admit it.

Lately, although Christopher Moore hadn’t mentioned divorce again, her heart had been hanging by a thread, fearful that one day he would suddenly come and talk about divorce again.

She didn’t know what dark days awaited her if she were to leave Christopher Moore.

Her heart was truly filled with fear, and during this time, even though Christopher Moore was still as gentle as ever, she felt no sense of security.

She knew this man was very gentle and gentlemanly; for the mother of his son, maintaining his usual tenderness was nothing out of the ordinary.

But that didn’t mean he still loved her.

So now, hearing Christopher Moore suddenly say in such a gentle tone that he wanted to hold her, Lily Jones’s eyes immediately reddened, and tears started to well up.

She buried her face in Christopher Moore’s chest and after a long time, she mustered up the courage to ask,

"Then... can we not get divorced?"

Her voice dropped a few notches.

Although it was somewhat shameful to say it, compared to Christopher Moore, what did shame matter anymore?

She clung tightly to Christopher Moore’s waist and wouldn’t let go, "I don’t want to get divorced."

Christopher Moore’s body stiffened sharply.

Ever since he had mentioned divorce that time, he had regretted it, and had tried to be gentler in front of Lily, hoping she would forget he ever brought up the matter of divorce.

In this time, their interactions had been no different from before; he thought she had long forgotten about the divorce, but unexpectedly...

Christopher Moore’s heart twitched slightly with pain.

"You... you’ve been thinking about this all along?"

"Yes."

Lily Jones nodded in his embrace, not caring about saving face, and continued,

"I was worried you would suddenly come talk to me about getting a divorce, and I’ve been trying hard not to lose my temper, scared that you’d start to dislike me more and more..."

She bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes red as she looked up at Christopher Moore in a soft voice,

"Can we not get divorced, please?"

"Okay, we won’t divorce."

Christopher Moore embraced her guiltily, "I’m sorry, wife, I shouldn’t have brought up getting divorced."

Hearing Christopher Moore say this, Lily Jones’s heart, which had been suspended for a long while, finally settled down.

A string that had been taut seemed to snap instantaneously, and she couldn’t hold back the tears any longer.

"I was so scared, sob~~ if you didn’t want me anymore, who else would want me, sob~~"

Listening to her say this, Christopher Moore was both self-reproachful and couldn’t help but laugh, he could only apologize over and over—

"I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, sorry, wife."

Lily Jones didn’t care how he apologized; she just kept sobbing in his arms until she had vented all her pent-up emotions, and then she stopped.

After crying for a while, her willful temper came back.

She lifted her hand and fiercely punched Christopher Moore in the chest, saying,

"You’ve scared me badly during this time."

Christopher Moore laughed, and the anger he had felt due to Daisy Thompson vanished as he was amused by Lily Jones’s straightforward words.

He held her hand, apologizing once more,

"Sorry, from now on, we’ll never talk about divorce again."

After Lily Jones vented her emotions, her mood improved significantly.

Though capricious, she was not excessively sentimental, nor would she dwell on Christopher Moore having previously brought up divorce and keep fussing about it.

Wiping away her tears, she fell silent for a moment, then,

"Do you know what that mother and daughter told me just now?"
