Chapter 6

Regarding Tiernan's constant delay in signing the divorce papers, I was anxious.

After all, as the months progressed, my belly would start to show.

If Tiernan discovered it, I wasn't sure if I could still get divorced smoothly.

When Tiernan heard me say this, he instinctively objected.

"Lacey, I only see Scarlett as a sister. Don't say such hurtful things."

"I know, she's an emotional sister even more important than your darling."

To provoke Tiernan into signing, I deliberately made my words harsh.

He got angry as expected, breathing heavily as he justified, "Scarlett just didn't know the situation, that's why she said those unpleasant things."

"She's already in the hospital and about to have surgery."

"Lacey, do you really need to argue with a sick person?"

In the past, I would have taken his words as gospel truth.

Even if I felt uncomfortable, I would have endured it for Tiernan's sake.
