Chapter 5
The box was large.
But what it contained was pitifully little.
Just divorce papers and a medical report.
Mukesh froze.
Divorce?
She actually wanted to divorce him?
How was that possible?
After seeing what was written on the medical report, Grandfather Willibert slapped Mukesh hard across the face in front of everyone:
“You monster! Look what you’ve done! Had I known this would happen, I never would have let you marry Camelia! You’ve ruined her life, Mukesh!”
Seeing Grandfather nearly collapse from anger, other family members quickly helped him leave.
After everyone tactfully departed, Mukesh remained rooted to the spot, staring at the divorce papers in his hand.
After who knows how long, he tore the papers to shreds, his face expressionless.
Ignoring Elowen’s calls behind him, he took the keys from his driver and drove himself to the Aditi family e
Unfortunately, the old house was completely dark.
Rolling down his window, he waited at the courtyard entrance all night, smoking until his throat was raw and his voice hoarse. Mukesh never saw a single light come on.
It wasn’t until five days after the birthday celebration that he discovered Camelia had left the country.
Why would she go abroad?
Was she that desperate to avoid him?
He’d only made a mistake that men all over the world make.
What gave her, Camelia Aditi, the right to just disappear and demand a divorce?
He didn’t agree. He wouldn’t allow it!
After considerable effort to learn her exact location abroad, Mukesh immediately booked the earliest flight. He went straight from the school to the airport without even stopping home for luggage.

just as he was about to check in, a teary eyed Elowen found him.
“Mukesh, are you abandoning me and our hater
Glancing at her slightly rounded belly, Mukesh patted her head and said:
“I’ve had my assistant prepare a new place for you. Move there today.”
Hearing this, Elowen’s tears immediately surged:
“I’d live in a garbage dump if it meant being with you.
But our baby is innocent, Mukesh!
If Camelia truly loved you, she’d treat our child as her own,
Instead of deliberately ruining Grandfather’s birthday and humiliating you and the Willibert family in front of everyone!
someone like her=”
Before Elowen could finish venting. Mukesh coldly interrupted:
“What right do you have to judge my wife?”
“Elowen, I thought you understood your place. But now I see you clearly don’t.”
Taking the boarding pass from the staff, Mukesh looked down at Elowen with icy indifference:
“No matter how many children I have out there, Camelia will always be my only wife.
And make sure you take all your things when you leave the mansion.
I don’t want Camelia getting upset again by seeing anything of yours when she returns.”
Elowen stood there stunned, tears streaming down her face, before laughing bitterly at his retreating back:
“Ha! Mukesh Willibert, I never thought you’d be more naive than me.
After how deeply you’ve hurt her, how could she possibly come back?”
They say women understand women best, but Mukesh, striding away, paid no attention to Elowen’s words.
He knew his wife.
Throughout these nine years, no matter how angry Camelia got with him,
All he needed to do was sincerely apologize and buy some gifts she liked, and he could immediately win her back.
But then again, this time she was angry enough to actually print out divorce papers.
Ordinary gifts certainly wouldn’t be enough.

Chapter 6
After much consideration, the moment Mukesh landed, he found a local tattoo parlor.
Showing the artist a design Camelia had sent him five years ago, he told the tattooist
“I’m in a hurry. No anesthetic.”
Seven hours later, Mukesh walked out of the tattoo shop wearing a blood–stained white shirt.
He bought gifts worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and nine hundred and ninety–nine pure white roses.
Despite not having slept for nearly forty–eight hours, Mukesh tirelessly drove himself to a vineyard estate on the outskirts of London.
On the highway, he nervously yet excitedly rehearsed his perfectly designed apology in his mind, over and over again.
Yet no matter how many scenarios he imagined, his first words to Camelia would always be that heartfelt:
“Camelia, I’ve missed you so much.”
Finally, Mukesh found her in this foreign country.
But the flowers in his hand dropped suddenly at his first glimpse of her-
In the setting sun, she was being held in the arms of a tall, handsome man.
With a contented smile on her face–one he’d never seen before–she was playfully exchanging sweet and tart grapes
with this man.
Mukesh couldn’t say “I’ve missed you.”
Instead, he just stood there dumbfounded and asked:
“Who is he?”
Feeling Camelia stiffen slightly, Elijah Blake silently tightened his embrace around her.
“You must be Mukesh Willibert? I’ve seen your wedding photos with Camelia. Huh, you’re even more unattractive in person.”
Seeing how Elijah had made Camelia relax again, even laughing behind her hand,
Mukesh felt as if someone had punched him twice in the chest, his fists clenching until his nails cut into his palms.
“Since you’ve come such a long way, I’ll politely introduce myself. I’m Elijah Blake, Camelia’s…”
“Elijah Blake? Now I remember.
You’re the son of that driver the Aditi family adopted.
The ungrateful ‘big brother‘ who was kicked out by Camelia’s grandmother for stealing.”
