Richest Mogul

Thora was utterly stunned.

Outside, thunder continued to rumble; each clap louder than the last.

As she gradually regained her composure, her face turned pale. "What if I refuse to do IVF?"

Albion frowned and stared at her intently. "If you refuse, then we'll get a divorce! If you still want to be with me, if you still love me, then you have to listen to me and come with me for IVF!"

A boy and a girl-this had become his obsession. The image of his children calling him "Dad" together was firmly etched in his mind, and he was determined to make it a reality.

"Divorce?" Thora looked at Albion in disbelief. She didn't expect him to say that so easily.

Even though she knew it was because of the negative item, the pain in her heart was undeniable.

"Yes, divorce! We've been married for so many years, and you're almost 40. Do you think anyone else would want you if you left me? You should know by now- you're starting to smell like an old lady!

"You're always talking about health routines, telling me to quit smoking and drinking. If I find someone else to bear my children, I'll save thousands in IVF costs," Albion sneered, his tone dripping with disdain.

His hurtful words came one after another, cutting deeper and deeper.

Thora knew that these words might not be entirely sincere, but they stung nonetheless.

In their daily life, Albion often brushed off her advice, saying they weren't even 40 they were too young to worry about health.

When she urged him to drink and smoke less, he would retort that those habits made him happy and life without them would be dull.

Even with the negative item's influence, it was clear that deep down, he harbored resentment and dissatisfaction toward her.

Seeing her silence, Albion sneered.

"You're a woman-if you never experience childbirth, can you even still call yourself a woman?"

Thora felt a ringing in her ears, and her vision blurred.

In the study, under the soft glow of a desk lamp, a phone number was freshly written on a piece of paper.

finally dialed it.

When the call connected, he heard a familiar voice on the other end. Wendy's gentle voice echoed in his ear.

That familiar voice-it was the warmth he had never been able to let go of.

For a moment, he was lost in a daze, as if transported back to the early days of their relationship years ago.

Sensing his brief silence, Wendy-always perceptive-spoke again.

"Aiken?" she guessed.

Aiken chuckled. "How did you know it was me?"

He had used a new phone number.noveldrama
