Because I Was an and He Threw Away 208

The moment the long–missed word “Mommy” reached Emily’s ears, she jolted, as if struck by an invisible bolt. 

Yet, regaining her composure, she forced a faint smile and said breezily, “It’s all good. No biggie.” 

With that, she was set to leave. 

Sophia’s words piqued Ethan’s interest. 

Turning around, he caught sight of the blood oozing from Emily’s arm. 

“Come here. Let me have a look,” he commanded instinctively, his tone brooking no argument. 

Emily shot him a nonchalant glance. “It’s nothing to worry about.” 

Before her words fully faded, Ethan was on his feet, seizing her 

arm. 

Caught off guard, Emily tried to yank her hand back, but his grip was like iron. 

As he stepped closer, she backed away step by step. Before she qould collect herself, he swept her off her feet in a bri al carryo

“Ethan, put me down! What the heck are you doing?” Emily hissed. 

Ignoring her protests, Ethan strode towards the outside of the lawn, his face set in a cold mask. 

Along the way, he tossed an order over his shoulder, “Rebecca, watch Sophie and Molly.” 

“Yes, Mr. Wilson.” Rebecca’s hesitant voice trailed behind. 

Hearing Emily’s shriek, Molly looked over. As she was about to dash forward, Tommy grabbed her wrist. “Molly, you won’t catch up,” he cautioned. 

Meanwhile, Alexander took in the whole scene. His fingers tightened around a pencil, and in a fit of anger after seeing Emily being carried away, he snapped it in two. 

Flinging the broken pieces aside, he stood up, his face gloomy with rage, and then lashed out with a kick at the lawn. 

A tuft of grass, along with a clump of soil, went flying. 

Kyrian remained silent, watching. 

In Ethan’s arms, Emily squirmed desperately to break free, but his arms were like steel bands.

to land a kick on him. 

Ethan scowled but didn’t lose his temper. He leaned out of the car, locked the door, and then retrieved a small first–aid kit. 

Reaching for her sleeve, he made to roll it up. 

“I’ll handle it,” Emily said, pushing his hand away. 

Ethan released her but fixed his gaze on her. “You’re a doctor, for crying out loud. What if the wound gets infected?” he scolded. 

Emily shrugged off her coat and rolled up her sleeve. “If it gets infected, I’ll just croak. Why are you acting all concerned?” she retorted sharply. 

Ethan was silenced by her words and averted his eyes. 

In no time, Emily had treated the wound. 

As she was closing the first–aid kit, Ethan stole another glance at her. His eyes landed on the bracelet on her left wrist, a gift from Alexander. 

His expression darkened, and his voice dropped an octave. 

“That bracelet. Alexander gave it to you, right?” he asked, though he already knew the answer.

Emily shut the first–aid kit with a snap. “None of your business,” she said coldly. 

Suddenly, Ethan reached out, grabbed her bracelet–adorned hand, and held it up between them. 

With a cold and menacing look in his eyes, Ethan stared intently at Emily. His voice, as cold as ice, cut through the silence. “I told you before, I don’t like you being so chummy 

with him.” 

Emily let out a laugh, her gaze meeting his unflinchingly. “Well, I feel the same way about you and Nancy,” she shot back, matching his cold tone. 

Ethan yanked his hand away from hers and turned his head aside. “That’s different,” he grumbled. 

Emily couldn’t help but snigger. “Open the door. I’m getting out,” she demanded. 

Rather than complying, Ethan swiveled his head back and fixed her with a steely look. “As long as we’re still married, you’re my wife,” he declared firmly. 

Emily thought it was a total joke. “Am I really your wife?” 

Ethan’s face remained impassive, showing no hint of emotion. He simply retorted, “Whether you are or not, you’ve played the 4/6 role for five years, haven’t you?”

Those words hit Emily like a stab in the heart. 

She let out a bitter laugh. “Do you think I still give a damn?” 

This time, Ethan fell silent. 

Not wanting to prolong the argument after seeing his silence, Emily simply reminded him, “You’re Sophie’s dad. You should be more involved in her studies.” 

Ethan shot her a sarcastic glance. “You’ve got time to hang out with other kids. Why can’t you spend some time with your own?” 

Emily was almost amused by his words. 

How did Sophia treat her? And how did Molly? 

She knew it all too well and had no intention of explaining or arguing. 

After a brief pause, Emily calmly asked, “Ethan, no point in talking more. When are we going to the courthouse for the divorce cooling–off process?” 

Ethan replied just as calmly, “Like I said, having sex one more time before the divorce.” 

Unable to hold back her disgust, Emily spat out, “You’re such a 5/6

jerk.” 

In an instant, Ethan grabbed her hand and pulled her forcefully into his embrace. She quickly put her uninjured hand across her chest to keep a distance. 

He looked down at her, gradually closing the gap. His hot breath fanned across her face.
