Chapter 9

In one of the hospital rooms, sitting across from Nolan was a man in a white gown. He was Ivan Young, Ruhi's husband and also Nolan's best friend.

"Yes, Shyla came to the hospital. She's pregnant." Nolan's face was gloomy.

It seemed a guy like Nolan was having helpless moments like right now. While he was influential and powerful in the business world, he had some difficulties in his relationships.

His heart was blooming with happiness when he thought he was going to be a father, but his mind was in turmoil when he thought his child's mother was Shyla. He doesn't know what he wants to do, he won't know what to feel.

Ivan Young neglected his friend's gloomy face, as he continued to speak, "I heard Ruhi commenting that you are a jerk."

Nolan didn't care, as he was indeed a jerk when he was involved in Shyla's matters.

"However, Shyla loves you. After so many years, it's time for you to let it go. She's the best candidate for your wife."

Ivan thought that Shyla was the best match for Nolan, so, he tried to persuade Nolan.

Nolan shook his head. There was so much emotional distance between him and Shyla, and they had not interacted much their whole life.

"If I decided to be with Shyla, I would let Ekta down. I've disappointed her once before, so I can't do it again this time."

"What about Shyla then? She's been in love with you for so long. Doesn't that mean you've let her down too?"

Nolan pursed his lips and his heart was struggling. He had spent five years of married life with Shyla, letting her suffer the consequences of falling in love with him. She would regret it now. Falling in love with him was the biggest mistake she made.

"I don't know”.

Nolan was indecisive as he suddenly could not bear to let Shyla go.

After rushing out of the hospital, Shaila called a cab to return home. After getting into the cab, she began to remember every word Nolan had said to her. Her heart was in so much pain that it was as if several knives were piercing directly into her heart at once.

She could not breathe properly, so, she began to let out her emotions through the tears coming from her eyes.

After arriving home, she went straight for a long and refreshing bath to sort out her thoughts and get rid of the fatigue in her body... After bathing for two hours, she is in high spirits now...

After returning to her room, she went straight to the wardrobe. Shaila pulled out the knitted scarf herself and admired looking at it... The black scarf should look good on Nolan because of his aloofness. Shyla likes Nolan to be cool because he is indifferent to everyone, but when he falls in love with someone, he gives all his everything to that person.

She didn't know when to give the scarf to Nolan. She decided to keep it for now and see how it went later.

When Nolan came back, Shyla was sitting calmly in the living room. She was in despair as Nolan was being cruel. He hated her so much that she had a sense of fear. There was no longer passion in her and the determination to save her marriage died down.

Seeing Shyla sitting in the living room, Nolan struggled internally. Shyla's expression was not as enthusiastic as before and she was as calm as a cucumber.

Shyla raised her head and looked into the man's eyes. At that time, her eyes were swollen from crying too much. In a hoarse voice, she declared, "Nolan, I'll let you go. Let's divorce”.

With a loud thud, Nolan felt as though he had fallen into a bottomless abyss. The divorce should have been good news for him, yet he was confused and felt bothered seeing Shyla shedding tears.

Nolan sat calmly across from Shyla and asked solemnly with a frown, "Divorce? Have you thought it through?”

Nolan didn't love her, and Shyla had held on for five years of her loveless marriage. Although she could hold on longer to their marriage, she gave up when Nolan cruelly decided on a child abortion once he knew of her pregnancy. She won't let anything happen to the child.

Moreover, Nolan could stay with Ekta after the divorce. She could wish them well as long as they didn't try to hurt her child.

"Yes, I've made up my mind. Let's divorce. I wish you and Ekta well”.

Shyla replied reluctantly and stared at Nolan's handsome face with a lingering look.

"All right."

Nolan said calmly and then left the table.

They slept separately that night. Shyla could not fall asleep, all she could think was Nolan, and Nolan didn't dare to sleep as well, thinking about what Shyla had said during the day. She told him her intention to divorce with a relaxed attitude. Nolan was frustrated, because she loved him with all her heart, and seemed very calm about the decision to divorce.

The next day, Shyla woke up very early as she didn't sleep at night. Looking tired, Shyla simply freshened up to leave and Nolan happened to come out at the same time. They looked at each other. Nolan was staring at her, but Shyla turned her head around indifferently.

After she went downstairs, Nolan thought that she would leave with him, only to notice a car was parked at the gate. Vivaan got out of the car. Nolan's face suddenly became ugly and his eyes were filled with anger, but he only pursued his lips angrily. He didn't even know that he was feeling so jealous.

"Vivaan will drop me off and you can follow his car," Shyla said coldly.

Vivaan glanced at Nolan and chuckled. "Nolan, long time no see. You're still the same.”

There was no way for Nolan to remain silent.

Before Shyla could enter Vivaan's car, Nolan grabbed her hand tightly and said, "Don't meddle with my wife's business!"
