Chapter 692 Never Divorce
"If that's the case, I'll die with my child," Ava gently wiped away the tears on William's face. Her actions were tender, but her voice was incredibly cruel, "William, remember, I will only live with my child. I've already given up on Alexander, so I absolutely cannot give up on this child."
Seeing the determination in Ava's eyes, William knew there was no room for negotiation.
He felt both hatred and heartache, various painful emotions entangled together.
Finally, he couldn't help but pull Ava into his arms, holding her tightly. "Ava, you cruel woman, I hate you!"
Ava closed her eyes in pain, tears streaming down uncontrollably. She knew her words were cruel and would hurt William, but for the safety of the child she carried, she had no choice. She couldn't afford to take any chances.
How could there be a perfect person in this world? How could anyone be without evil thoughts?
"William, I'm sorry. I know it's my fault. I'm really sorry. If you hate me, we can get a divorce. I won't ask for anything, you can rest assured. I absolutely won't..."
"No!" William interrupted her, agitated. "Ava, how can you talk about divorce at a time like this?"
Ava looked at him with red eyes. She hadn't dared to mention divorce before because he had lost his memory, and she was worried it would upset him. But now that things had turned out this way, she had no more concerns.
"William, I'm sorry. I've been keeping something from you. Actually, between us..."
"Don't say it," William covered her mouth. "Ava, I beg you, don't say anything. I'm already in so much pain. Do you want to push me over the edge?"
Ava grabbed William's wrist, gently pushed it away, and nodded, "So, you'll promise me what I asked? That you'll do whatever it takes to keep the baby safe?"
William held her hand and said, "Ava, if I promise you that, you have to promise me something too."
Ava asked, "What do you want me to promise?"
William cupped her face with both hands, his thumbs wiping away her tears, and said seriously, "That we will never divorce."
Ava was shocked. "What did you say?"
William's grip tightened. "No matter what happens, we cannot divorce. We have to spend our lives together as husband and wife. You cannot divorce me."
Ava's mind buzzed, her eyes widened in shock as she looked at him, "You..."
"Honey," William held her hand tightly. "don't divorce me, never."
Ava hadn't expected things to develop this way. She thought that once William's situation was sorted out, they could divorce, but then William had an accident.
She thought that once William recovered, they could divorce, but then he lost his memory.
She thought that once William regained his memory, she would explain everything to him, and once he remembered everything, they would divorce. But now he was making this request.
If she had known this day would come, she wouldn't have married him in the first place.
"William, I can't lie to you. Actually, between us..."
"Don't say it," William cut her off. "Ava, even though I've lost my memory and don't remember the past, I can feel that something is off between us. When I get close to you, when I hold you, kiss you, you always seem to push me away. We don't act like a normal couple."
Ava lowered her head, silent.
