The First Heir

Chapter 88

A divorce?

The way Wynn uttered those words… She seemed so calm.

Philip’s heart thudded. Silently, he rested his hands on his knees. He could not stop them from shaking slightly.

At that moment, he could only feel a buzzing in his brain. The word ‘divorce’ would not stop repeating in his ears.

He forgot to breathe, and he forgot to respond.

Wynn was too disappointed in him.

“Philip, I really can’t hold on any longer. I don’t want to go on like this. I don’t want to live in constant fear, worrying about the next day every single day, worrying about Mila’s condition every day. I gave you a year, and you said you would give me an answer. Yet, you have let me down so much now.”

Wynn cried out helplessly, tears dripping from her eyes.

The Philip she once loved deeply had become deplorable and dispirited.

He had become repulsive, disgusting, and despicable to her.

Philip raised his gaze, his eyes red as he asked, “Wynn, can you forgive me this time? I’ll change, I’ll try my best.”

Philip did not want to lose Wynn.

He would always place Wynn and Mila first in his heart.

“Trust me, I will definitely give you a future, a future that everyone will be jealous of.” Philip’s tone was sincere.

However, Wynn laughed as she turned her face to him. She looked like a weeping beauty as she asked, “A future? Philip, don’t you think you’ve said this many times already? But where is the future? You’re always lying to yourself, always unwilling to get off your high horse. How many times have I begged you? I told you to apologize to my parents, but what did you do? For the sake of your pathetic pride, you’ve never listened to me. Now you’re talking about a future to me? What’s that? The 100 BMW motorcycles? Or the Arc de Triumph Hotel?

Wynn had always saved her last ounce of patience for Philip. However, what Philip did tonight caused her to lose her patience.

It was just too ridiculous!

Even if Philip was in wretched poverty and delivered food for a living, Wynn did not think it was a big deal.

However, tonight, to satisfy his urge for performance and his weak ego, Philip actually did something like that.

Embarrassing!

It was too embarrassing. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

How else would he lie to himself?

Naturally, Wynn no longer believed what Philip had told her at Arc de Triumph Hotel.

Philip hastily defended himself. “Wynn, believe me! When the time comes, you will understand.”

“Philip, that’s enough!” Wynn shouted. She became overwhelmed with her emotions and pulled on the wound on her abdomen. Cold sweat pooled on her forehead from the pain. “Get out of here, I don’t want to see you right now!”

She pointed angrily to the ward door, determination flashing through her eyes.

Philip had no choice. He was worried that Wynn’s emotions would affect her body.

Giving up, he stood up and said, “Alright, I’ll get out first, but I don’t agree to the divorce.”

With that, Philip got up and walked out of the ward unhesitatingly.

As soon as he left the ward, he saw his mother-in-law and several others sitting outside the door.

Seeing him, Martha stepped forward and asked coldly, “What did you say to my daughter? Did you mention the divorce? I’m telling you, the Johnston family does not want Mila as well. You take that red- headed stepchild with you.”

Martha was furious. She would like nothing more than for Philip to divorce her daughter immediately and get out of the Johnston family.

She had even funded them for their bridal suite.

If there was no other choice, she would drive away Philip and that embarrassing scoundrel together!

Seeing how Philip did not say anything, Martha then guessed what was going on. She pointed out with dissatisfaction, “You didn’t ask for a divorce, did you? Philip Clarke, let me tell you, in this household, it is I, Martha Yates, who makes the decisions. You and Wynn must get a divorce! I don’t care if you don’t agree. I’ll take you to the Civil Affairs Bureau in a few days to go through the formalities!”

Faced with Martha’s unreasonable orders, Philip could no longer contain his emotions. With a chilling expression on his face, he shouted, “Enough! Let me tell you, I will not divorce Wynn!”

With that, he left with a foul expression on his face.

Martha was furious!

That loser actually yelled at her just now!

Such disrespectful behavior toward his mother-in-law.
