"Hailey, it's windy outside, hurry up and wheel your sister inside....Ahh Nikolai you're here as well" Mrs George noticed that Hailey and Agnes had not come into the house. She was worried that Agnes would catch a cold after being discharged from the hospital, so she couldn't help but to come out to check on her.
But the moment she saw Nikolai Coke, she rolled her eyes at Hailey and said, "Hailey, why didn't you tell me in advance that Nikolai is coming with you?""Mom...I...."Hailey was about to explain herself, but Agnes interrupted her."Mom, brother Nikolai is here to see me. If you keep standing at the door and blocking him, he will assume that he is not welcomed"Mrs George snapped out of her reverie. She couldn't bother with the formality at this point, so she quickly ushered them into the house.Hailey froze as she watched Nikolai wheel Agnes into the house. The two of them were speaking to each other in low and gentle voices. She was suddenly at a loss for words.She smiled and said sadly, "Mom, I am feeling under the weather, I can't have dinner with you guys, I'm heading home"Mrs George's eyes darkened a bit, "Hailey, can't you stop making a fuss?"Hailey thought. 'making a fuss?'Was she making a fuss?Her eyes suddenly reddened and suddenly become teary."Mom, Nikolai is my husband, not Agnes's!" She was also her mother's biological daughter but yet, her mother favored Agnes while she was always pushed away like a worthless vegetable.Mrs George looked at her, sighed and said, "Hailey, I know you're upset, but Agnes lost her ability to walk. Besides she hasn't seen Nikolai for three years, can't you take pity on her?""Take pity on her? Mom, who will take Pity on me then? Nikolai iß my husband, why should I let her steal him away?" Hailey bit her lip and retorted."Let her steal him away!" Mrs George's voice suddenly become sharp. "If it weren't for you, Nikolai and Agnes would have been married by now "Hailey looked up at her own mother in disbelief, "Mom what are you talking about? I have been with Nikolai for a long time. If you hadn't help Agnes hide the truth, would I have to....""All right, all right"Mrs George quickly interrupted her, "I don't know why you keep talking about these petty things all the time! Agnes has finally come home tonight. If you have something to say, say it after dinner. Get into the houseBefore Hailey refuted, Mrs George turned and entered the house.Hailey looked at her mother as she walked away. She bit her lips and stepped into the house anyways.She thought, "Fine, whatever!"It was her last visit. After these, she doesn't have to put up with them anymore.When she walked in, she saw Agnes and Nikolai sitting close to each other on one side in the dinning while her mother and father sat across them.They looked like couples.Hailey thought, 'what about me then?'She slowly walked over and sat at one end of the dinning table by herself. There wasn't even any eating utensil in front of her."Valeria, grab an extra bowl and chopsticks "Agnes asked the house help to grab some eating utensils. She then looked at Hailey and said apologetically, "Big sister, you haven't been home for three years. Everyone assumed thar you won't be back this time. Don't be upset Hailey. Here, eat this. It's your favorite food, braised crap"Agnes put a piece of fish into the bowl in front of Hailey.Hailey looked at the fish and felt like crying, "I don't like to eat fish"She has never liked fish. When she was a kid, her parents favoured Agnes, and Agnes favorite food was the braised crap.To please her parents, Hailey also told them that her favourite food was fish, just like her sister so the George family could have fish for every meal every day.However, she didn't know how to handle the fish bone. Therefore after every meal, she would hide in the bathroom and dig out every bone stuck in her throat with tears all over her face.After all these years, she had gotten tired of putting up an act.As she recalled her childhood memories, she realized that it was not really worth the trouble to curry favor with her parents by pleasing Agnes. It was not worth it at all."Agnes, some people don't deserve your kindness" Nikokai said in a flat voice. He picked up a piece of fish and put it in Agnes bowl. His voice was filled with gentleness and adoration. "I've picked out all the bones for you, dig in"Agnes beemed with delight and said, "Brother Nikolai is so nice. Hailey, I envy you for having such a good husband....."Nikolai looked at her and said, "Agnes, you're the only person who is worthy of my adoration "His words were like a hand that clutch Hailey's throat and suffocated her.Indeed, he never hid his disdain for her. Hailey, his lawful wife was not worthy of his adorations at all!Hailey suddenly stood up and the chair fell back with a loud thud.All eyes fell on her."Hailey, what is wrong with you?"Agnes pretended to be frightened and held tightly unto Nikolai's arm. Her facial expression was fearful, but there was slyness in her eyes.Mr and Mrs George looked at Hailey with a look of reproach and warning, "why are you standing up? Sit down and have your meal"Meanwhile, her husband shot her a cold and grim glance, "Hailey George, don't try to start a fight!"Hailey looked at this group of people before her. She felt like she was a pathetic buffoon and a complete joke!She took a deep breath, held back all the tears in her eyes and growled, "Nikolai Coke if you want a divorce, come home with me now!""Divorce? What divorce?" Agnes panicked and quickly let go of Nikolai's arm. "Hailey I'm sorry, I just can't help but get close to brother Nikokai. Please don't get a divorce because of me..."Hailey stared coldly at Agnes who was on tears, but also chuckled out loudly.Did everyone take Agnes side and care for her just because she knows how to weaponize her tears?Hailey reframed from showing her vulnerable side. The fragile expression on her face vanished. She moved her feet slowly and walked towards Nikolai."Nikolai, you have only one chance, I will wait for you to come home!"..... .... ......Dear readers, please endeavor to drop a comment after every read🥰Also please click on the love sign at the top of the book details to add my book to your library so that you can continue to get an update..Thank you so much for reading my book,Next update will come so soon.Time passed, and the night grew.Hailey sat on the sofa like a sculpture. She raised her stiff arm and looked around her wristwatch. It was already two o'clock on the morning.She had been waiting for nearly ten hours, bit Nikolai still did not come back.Didn't he always want a divorce? She has agreed to divorce him, why didn't he come back home and have a proper tà lk with her?Before the divorce, she just wanted to ask him why he had always become the way he was. A long time ago, he used to treat her gently and lovingly...Hailey looked at the bowl of noodles on the table that she had carefully prepared for him. She then turned to look at the dark and quiet yard outside the house. The feeling of disappointment washed over her.After a long while, she slowly got up, turned around and prepared to head upstairs.Suddenly, the rumble of a car engine fame from tbe front yard of the mansion. The sound was clear and loud in the dead night. Hailey thought that she was dreaming.She turned a
Hailey fell to the ground weakly. The porcelain shard of the boek pierced her palms,but she seemed to numb the pain. She stared at the man who rushed out of the house.Suddenly, blood gushed up her throat and she couldn't help but to vomit on the floor. The blood turned the carpet red.Nikolai left her for Agnes, again....Hailey thought, what was I trying to do just now?She actually expects Nikolai to believe her and doubt Agnes....it was very silly of her to have high hopes of winning him back.Hailey sat in the living room for the whole night. As time passed, the sky finally brightened and sunlight shone into the house."Hailey, are you in there? Open the door!"There was a loud and abrupt knock on the door, she heard her mother's voice.Hailey was surprised. She hurried over to open the door.After she married Nikolai, she had moved into this mansion. She had lived here for three years but not once has her mother come to visit."Hailey, something bad happened to Agnes!"As soon a
Hailey was the eldest daughter of the George's family, a woman once famous for her beauty in Manila city. Three years ago, she married Nikolai Coke, the heir of the Coke's family, and became Mrs Coke.Rumors had it that President Nikolai didn't want to marry her as at that time. But she did something that made Old Master Coke favour her, and so he forced President Nikolai to marry her.However, rumors had it that after President Coke married her, he never went home again.As it seemed, President Nikolai really disliked his his wife.The secretary ushered Hailey into the office with a complicated look on her face.Nikolai put down the documents in his hands and stared coldly at the woman who entered his office.In tbe part three years since they got married, this woman rarely showed her face around him because she knew that he abhorred her.But in the past few days, she had appeared before him too frequently. She either seduced him or beg him to eat noodles. Now, she even came to his c
Agnes cried as she panted and threw herself into Nikolai's arm. Nikolai lifted her in his arm and glared at Hailey, who was sitting on tbe floor with disgust. This woman was wicked as always! Earlier on, he even pitied her and thought of designing a wedding dress for her. How could he be so stupid? "Hack...H..ackk..." Hailey covered her mouth immediately. She was afraid she would cough out some blood, so she covered her mouth tightly. There was a sudden pain in her lower abdomen, and she felt something warm gush out of her private part. Her face turned pale in horror. She grabbed the hem of Nikolai's pant and said, "Nikolai, hurry up, take me to the hospital...." She had vomited blood before, but now, even her lower abdomen began to bleed. Was she going to die soon? She was ready for death, but it still came too fast. Did it mean that she would never get to see the wedding dress Nikolai design for her? She refused to accept that. No, she must hold on till the day she put on tbe
The pain in Hailey's abdomen gradually subsided. She got up from tbe ground while holding the walls for support. She looked at the tower, which was a skyscraper Just like the tall building, Nikolai Coke was beyond her reach.All her wildest fantasy and unforgettable memories were reduced to rubble after being married to him for three years. Fortunately for her, everything was coming to an end soon ...Hailey was in a daze when she hailed a taxi. She wanted to go to the hospital for a medical check up, but she was afraid that she would receive more bad news.Eventually, Hailey went home. She was utterly exhausted and she fell asleep the instant she layed on the bed. By the time she woke up, it was already dusk. She took a shower and changed her clothes, which write stained with blood. Then she went downstairs to pour water for herself only to find out that tbe light in the study were on.The warm yellow light trickled down from the door gap, and she thought she was hallucinating. Sh
When Hailey woke up, it was already the next day. She looked at the empty sitting room and suddenly sat on the sofa. She quickly ran upstairs towards the study. She pushed the door opened to the study only to see a cup of unfinished coffee and a trash can filled with discarded papers. She knelt on the ground, poured out the discarded paper and unfolded them one by one. Each piece of paper contain a sketch of wedding dress. Some of them were half completed. Some had a veil.... As it turned out, everything that happened last night was not a dream. Nikolai was indeed designing the perfect wedding dress she dreamt of. Hailey smiled and put the discarded papers into the drawer of her own desk, as though there are her own treasure. When she was about to close the drawer, she saw a document in there. The smile on her face gradually became sorrowful. It was the document that her company had filled for it's company market stock. By Her is a jewelry design company that she founded. It had
Agnes held unto a corner of the design draft, and the look on her face was sullen. "When you married Nikolai, you didn't have a wedding dress or a wedding. You can't blame it on me. It's your own problem you can't win his love. Why are you trying to snatch the draft from me? Let go of it!"Hailey was clasping another corner of the design draft in her hand. She felt a sharp ache in her heart.This wedding dress belongs to her!It was the wedding dress she dreamed of since she was a child!Nikolai was the one who promised to design it for her!Why....why did the wedding dress become Agnes belonging all of a sudden? Her parents, her wedding dress and even her husband had become Agnes's! Seeing that Hailey refused to let go, Agnes burst out in rage."Hailey, since you were young, you have always competed with me for everything. You wanted to win the attention of mom and dad. You wanted to run the George's family business, and you want Nikolai's love. Now, you even want to steal the wedd
Hailey refused to check into the hospital. The child inside her has just starting to have heatbeats. She didn't want it to smell the pungent smell of the disinfectant inside the hospital everyday. Even if she was in such in an awful condition, she wanted to provide the best prenatal care for her child. Hailey parked her car at the front of the mansion. When she was about to get out of the car with the drugs Sky prescribed for her to relieve the symptoms of her illness, she saw that the lights in the house were on. She looked at the yard and saw a black car in there. Nikolai who had never returned home in the past three years had come back again. There was a faint smile on Hailey's lips. She tossed the medicine container onto the driver's seat, opened the car door and stepped out of the vehicle. "You're back? " Nikolai's grim voice startled Hailey a bit. As it appeared Nikolai was waiting for her to appear home. But then she would have been ecstatic. She would gawk at the man sh
