Chapter 26 Don’t Mess Up My Car
The atmosphere seemed to freeze, and my heart tightened.
I was still waiting for him to explain something.
After a moment of stalemate, he asked a cold, hard question: “Do you have to rush to divorce?”
The emotions in my chest pressed so hard that I could hardly breathe. I looked up at the glaring lights in the living room and blinked, and even though I was already desperate inside, the words that came out of my mouth were cruel.
“Yes, I am in a hurry.”
I had to sever all ties with him before he found out I was pregnant.
I couldn’t afford to gamble with my baby.
Christopher behind me didn’t speak anymore; the crisp sound of the door closing was his response.
I felt as if my strength had been stripped away, slowly sliding down the shoe cabinet and staring blankly at the ceiling.
In an instant, my heart also felt empty, sensing an uncontrollable dull ache.
That night, unusually, I wasn’t controlled by early pregnancy symptoms, yet I still lay in bed tossing and turning.
The fierce autumn wind howled all night, and the cold wind seemed to seep into my body, chilling me to the core.
I could accept that he didn’t love me and that he married me under Bentley’s arrangement..
But I couldn’t bear the fact that my three–year marriage, which fulfilled my wishes, was merely a sacrifice he made helplessly for another woman.
I thought I had plucked bright stars from the sky, but my past joy was all in vain.
The next day, I had just woken up when Elissa called, asking about my foot injury and whether I needed to take a day
off.
I got out of bed and tried to walk a bit, feeling like I was fine.
Although I couldn’t move completely normally yet, it didn’t affect my ability to walk much.
She said she would be downstairs to pick me up in twenty minutes, not giving me a chance to refuse.
As I descended the stairs, my milky white Panamera was parked in front of the apartment building.
Elissa rolled down the car window,/glancing skeptically at my foot, “Are you really okay?”
“I’m really fine. Cecil bought me medicine yesterday, and it worked well.”

As I spoke, I got Into the passenger seat.
Elissa raised her eyebrows with interest, started the car, and clicked her tongue, “If you had liked Cecil back then, you would have been very happy!”
“You make it sound like he would like me just if I like him.” I found It amusing.
“Maybe.”
Suddenly, Elissa thought of something and spoke meaningfully, “If it had been Cecil who actually took you to the school infirmary and brought you meals, would you have liked him as much as you liked Christopher?”
I chuckled, “There are no ‘ifs‘ in this world.”
“What if there were “‘ifs‘ in the world?”
Elissa persisted, “Just say yes or no!”
At her words, I glanced at the crowd outside the car window, thought for a moment, and finally shook my head, “I don’t
know.”
Liking and loving actually depended more on a momentary feeling.
If Cecil had taken me to the school infirmary that day, and I had opened my eyes to see him, with the sunlight shining on him, maybe I would have truly fallen for him.
But there were no ‘ifs‘ in the world. The person I saw was indeed Christopher, and from then on, I only had
Christopher.
Elissa rarely reflected on life, “Fate really loves to play tricks on people.”
“Don’t talk about me. How is the relationship developing between you and Ivan?”

“We,” Elissa paused for a moment, then flashed a bright smile. “we’ve progressed from a one–night stand to multiple nights.”
“Just that?”
“Just that.”
I raised an eyebrow, “You don’t like him at all?”
“A little bit.”
After Elissa’s answer, she suddenly chuckled mockingly, “But liking someone is useless. My mom even said she married my dad because they deeply loved each other. But that didn’t stop them from attacking each other when they fought. There are no sincere and lasting feelings in this world.”
I knew that Elissa didn’t believe in love or even family affection.

Chapter 26 Don’t Mess Up My Car
After her father’s business failure, her father started drinking, gambling, beating his wife, and hitting Elissa.
Elissa’s mother finally disappeared, leaving her to live with her unreliable father; Elissa had often been beaten since
she was young.
I was afraid she would be upset, so I changed the subject and smiled, “Why have you been so good to me all these years?”
She rolled her eyes. “Who was the one crying on the rooftop in the dead of winter, tears and snot all over, begging me not to jump off?”
When she brought it up, I awkwardly touched my nose.
She was sitting on the rooftop at the time. When I saw her, I was startled and rushed over to pull her down.
She was also startled, thinking someone wanted to harm her, so she started struggling.
In the end, she said she was just in a bad mood and wanted to sit on the rooftop to calm down; she didn’t intend to jump, but I almost scared her to death.
It was because of this incident that our relationship went from ordinary roommates to close friends.
Elissa chuckled and handed me a bag, “Have breakfast. I bought you bread and yogurt. Take the rest to the office; you can eat it when you’re hungry.”
“You really love me the most.”
“Nonsense.”
Elissa scolded, “I clearly only love you.”
That day, Evelyn didn’t appear in front of me, which was rare.
Working at the Valence Group was actually quite satisfying when I just needed to focus on work.
However, when I left work in the evening, I knew why she hadn’t shown up.
Christopher had spent just one night changing the new car he bought for her to the same color as mine, and her car was parked next to mine!
Some passing colleagues were still gossiping, saying these two must have a very close relationship to buy the same car and change the color deliberately.
I just felt speechless.
He was bothering me with his lover and then came to my doorstep saying he missed me.
He was truly hypocritical.
I took a deep breath, ignored her car, got into my car, and before 1 locked it, the rear door was pulled open..
12:29 Fr,
Chapter 26 Don’t Mess Up My Car
Evelyn smiled and got in. “Hope, are you also going back to the Valence Manor?”
Today was the Valence family’s monthly family banquet, and Bentley had called me at noon to remind me to go back.
I said irritably, “This has nothing to do with you. Get out.”
“Don’t be angry, I want you to drive me back on your way.”
Evelyn smiled smugly, gently saying, “Although I have a car too, Chris just bought it for me, and I’m not familiar with it yet. I’m a little afraid of scratching it accidentally.”
She deliberately said this to provoke me, and her flaunting tone disgusted me.
I got out of the car decisively, opened her car door, and said coldly, “Did you get my permission to get in my car? Get out, and don’t dirty my car.”
“The Valence family bought your car, and I am also part of the Valence family. I shouldn’t need your permission to sit in this car, right?” Evelyn’s tone was firm as if she were the owner of the car.
