Our fated divorce novel

Abigail's good mood was completely wrecked , so Bethany dragged her up to the rooftop revolving restaurant . " Is that man blind ? " Bethany snapped , cutting at her steak so hard the knife screeched against the plate . " He throws away a gem like you and goes out of his way to pamper that bitch intern ? " Abigail stared out at the night skyline , drained and silent . Bad luck never came alone . They had barely sat down when Lucas walked over with Adrienne . " What a coincidence , Mrs. Faulkner , " Adrienne said , flashing that smile that always made people uneasy .

" I mentioned in passing that I wanted to try their beef Wellington , and Mr. Faulkner brought me right over . Guess we have similar tastes . " Lucas was holding a refined shopping bag . Seeing Abigail's cold expression , he did something rare and handed it to her . " You left in a hurry earlier . I asked the sales associate to bring out a similar new design . Don't take what I said before to heart . " " Mrs. Faulkner , don't be mad at Mr. Faulkner , " Adrienne chimed in gently . " He really cares about you . When he was picking clothes , he only looked at your size .

" Abigail didn't take the bag or look at Lucas . She only turned to the waiter and said , " Please move us to another table . The air here is bad .

" Can you at least give me some dignity in public ? " " Dignity ? " Abigail finally looked up , her eyes full of mockery . " So your dignity comes from stealing your wife's dress to give to an intern ? Who am I to give you any ? " " You " Lucas choked . " Mrs.

Faulkner , I know you don't like me , " Adrienne said , her eyes reddening on cue . " But Mr. Faulkner works so hard for the company . Even if you don't support him as family , why embarrass him like this ? " The act made Abigail nauseous . She stood up and looked down at Adrienne . " Family? Not for long . Your little tricks might fool Lucas , but that's because he's emotionally illiterate . " At that , she turned to leave . Lucas grabbed her wrist , his voice sharp with urgency . " Abigail , what exactly are you making a scene about ? Adrienne and I are completely innocent . " " Let go .

" She didn't even bother struggling . She just stared at him coldly . Adrienne rushed in as well .

The two of them stumbled together toward a decorative fountain with sharp stone edges . " Abigail ! " " Watch out ! " Two shouts rang out . Lucas was the closest . Just as he instinctively reached out to grab Abigail , Adrienne suddenly screamed , " My hand ! Mr. Faulkner , I think my hand's broken ...

" Lucas's hand veered midair , and he caught Adrienne instead . ㄓ Abigail fell hard into the fountain . When her right hand slammed into the jagged marble at the bottom , there was a sickening crack . Blinding pain exploded through her body , and cold sweat soaked her instantly . Bethany rushed over and dragged her out of the water . When she saw Abigail's arm hanging at an unnatural angle , her eyes went red . She screamed , " Are you out of your mind , Lucas ? That's the hand Abigail uses to paint ! And you chose to grab that useless woman instead ? " Lucas went pale .

He stared at the hand he'd praised countless times , now limp and broken . His heart skipped . " I ... " " Mr. Faulkner , it hurts so bad ... " Adrienne whimpered in his arms . 40.56 % 18:18 Chapter 3 288 / Vouchers " Am I never going to be able to help you with reports again ? " Lucas clenched his jaw . Avoiding Abigail's unfocused , pain - filled gaze , he lifted Adrienne into his arms . " Adrienne is injured . She needs to go to the hospital right now . Abigail ... take a cab yourself . I'll reimburse the costs .

" With that , he rushed off with Adrienne , not daring to look back even once . Abigail leaned against Bethany , her vision fading . At that moment , it wasn't just her hand that broke . The string in her heart called " love " snapped clean through . At the hospital , the doctor shook his head as he studied the scans . He said , " It's a fracture , and it's in a bad spot . If you don't have surgery , forget holding a paintbrush . Even using a fork will be difficult . " Bethany cursed nonstop in the hallway . Abigail lay on the bed , still groggy from anesthesia .

When she woke again , arguing voices came from outside the room . " Lucas , you've got some nerve showing up . Get out ! " Bethany yelled . " I'm her husband . I have the right to know her condition , " Lucas replied , sounding tired . " I just settled things on Adrienne's side . I didn't expect Abigail to get hurt this badly . " " You didn't expect it ?

As compensation , I'll go with you to that art exhibition once your hand heals . " Abigail stared at the ceiling , not sparing him a glance . " Say something , " he said irritably . " I've already compromised . What more do you want ? " " She broke my hand , and you're worried I'll ' hold it against her " ? " Abigail finally turned her head . Her calm was terrifying . " Lucas , did you sign the divorce papers ?

" Lucas's body stiffened , and then he sneered . " You want a divorce over this ? Abigail , where do you think you can go without me ? Back to that rundown studio to starve ? " " That's none of Mr. Faulkner's concern , " Abigail said , closing her eyes . " Get out . " He called her name through gritted teeth , " Abigail! " " Get out !
