At this point, I felt that no further explanation was needed.
So, I nodded faintly.
“Think whatever you want. You must be disappointed to see me alive, right?
“But it’s fine…”
I looked up and met his calm gaze.
“Williams, let’s get a divorce.
“I’ll set you free so that you can pursue your true love.”
I turned and shifted my gaze to Lucas.
“I’ll stop being your mother as well, just as you wish.”
I smiled as I saw their shocked faces.
How wonderful. We were all finally free.
I turned and started to leave, but Williams grabbed my wrist.
His voice trembled slightly as he spoke. “Christelle, what do you mean? You want to divorce me just because I saved Leia first?
“You aren’t hurt, and you even lied about being pregnant. I haven’t even begun to blame you, yet you want a divorce? Is that really necessary?”
I could not be bothered to argue with him; I just silently pulled away.
However, he held on even tighter, and my wrist started to turn red.
Lucas had been standing beside me, and his eyes started to well up.
He furiously pried Williams’s hand open and shielded me behind him. “Don’t you dare touch my mother! She just had surgery, and she’s still very weak. You’re hurting her!” he shouted.
I held back my laughter. He was glaring at the man before him like a little tiger cub. He was determined to protect me.
Unfortunately, Lucas was too small. When James ran over and struck him, he easily got pinned beneath him.
Then, James started punching him.
“You liar! She’s my mother, not yours!”
