Chapter 1080: Not Planning to Have Children These Years
Crystal Landon soaked in the bathtub, the warm water washing away the mess and exhaustion from her body. She regained a bit of strength and said hoarsely with her eyes closed, her slender fingers like jade hooked on the edge of the tub, "Once I have a child, let’s get a divorce."
When she uttered those words, her heart ached, and her eyes stung a little. The person she had liked since childhood probably could only be silently loved, never approached.
Where in this world is there so much mutual love? Retreating bravely is always better than future resentments. If a day of love turning to hate can be foreseen, it’s better to cut off all thoughts early.
Richard Shaw’s tall and robust body suddenly stiffened. The man wrapped her in a towel silently and lifted her up, saying in a deep voice, "Military marriages are not permitted for divorce."
Crystal Landon snorted coldly, ignoring him.
"If you mind Luna’s existence, I’ll find someone to look after her in the future and won’t meet her again, Crystal, okay?" Richard Shaw lowered his body, brushing her wet hair aside, and softly kissed her little face, speaking somewhat apologetically.
Just now, he had acted excessively. The thought of divorce suffocated him with panic.
From the moment he decided to marry her, he never thought about divorce.
Seeing her small face buried in the covers, curled up into a ball, completely ignoring him, the man suddenly felt even more restless and suffocated.
Children, yes, as long as there are no children, she won’t mention divorce. Richard Shaw’s gaze hardened slightly. They’ll avoid having children for a few years until her thoughts of divorce fade away.
Changing his clothes and coming out, Richard Shaw found Aunt Zhao and Shuazi anxiously waiting in the living room.
The man instructed Aunt Zhao to stew some nourishing food, then glanced at Shuazi, walked to the window ledge, and asked coolly as he looked at the willow tree in the courtyard beginning to sprout new buds, "How is Luna doing?"
"The burn is half-healed; she’ll need another half month in the hospital," Shuazi said cautiously, scratching his head, "Major General, you should mind less about Luna in the future, or else the madam will be angry again if she finds out.
"We know the Major General pities her for being alone, and there’s a reason involving Hezi, but outsiders don’t know this. If it leaks out, it’s not good for your reputation."
Richard Shaw paused silently, saying deeply, "From now on, you’re responsible for Luna’s matters. Don’t let Crystal see her."
"But Luna is at the same school as the madam," Shuazi said with a bitter face, "Does this mean a school transfer?"
Shuazi wanted to say that even being in the Imperial City, transferring schools wouldn’t help. Luna is completely attached to the Major General, like a drowning person clutching a piece of driftwood, unwilling to let go. The madam’s temper, once it flares, the Major General can’t even stop it. What more can he do?
Richard Shaw furrowed his brow, his mood becoming increasingly gloomy. Back then, it was Luna who said she wanted to study at Imperial City University; he hadn’t expected Crystal would also get into Imperial City University.
"If it doesn’t work out, send her abroad to study," Richard Shaw thought for a moment, then asked in a deep voice, "Have you found out who’s helping Crystal investigate these things?"
Ordinary people wouldn’t dare to investigate someone from the Military District, let alone someone at the Major General level. A slight mistake, and they could be seen as a foreign spy. Just who has Crystal been associating with?
"We investigated, and the trail led to the Golden Triangle area before vanishing. That area’s been the most chaotic these past few years, and further investigations turned up nothing," Shuazi reported.
Richard Shaw’s gaze deepened. Crystal grew up in the Imperial City; how could she be connected with people over there?
