We had a child, and even after everything, she was still fortunate and strong enough to live.
For the sake of this child, he finally chose to end things with Heidi and return to my side.
Because of that kidnapping incident, everyone in Kansas learned that she was a mistress. After being removed from the orchestra, she vanished.
During these two years, I thought he no longer loved her, but when they met again after so long, he still lost control over himself for her.
I quietly looked at his cold face and softly spoke.
“Ezra, let’s get a divorce. I will let you two lovers be together.”
Hearing this, surprise and fear flashed through his eyes.
But soon, he scoffed. “Evie, all these years you keep using divorce to pressure me, but you never divorce.”
“We have a child, you and your father already broke ties long ago; besides me, you have no one to depend on.”
His words sounded very ridiculous; everyone in Kansas knew I loved him, knew my father did not agree for me to marry an illegitimate son, knew that to marry him, I endured ninety-nine family punishments and even cut ties with the Russo family.
But no one knew there was a deal between my father and me.
