Looking at Miya, who was silent but anxious, Noah took a few deep breaths and smiled. “Are you happy teasing me? Or do you feel a sense of achievement?”

Miya hurriedly shook her head. “It’s not like that!”

“What is it then? I’ll listen to what you have to say!” Noah had a distrustful smile on his face, which instantly angered Miya.

Miya paused and was no longer in a hurry to speak. In order to make herself clear, she began to speak word by word. “It’s just a few photos. Are you… so sure that I’m cheating?”

“Didn’t an article have that effect on you?” Noah asked.

Miya froze.

Noah did not have any expression at this moment. He only felt that the feeling of being betrayed was like a burning needle. It pierced into his heart inch by inch and burned his rationality. The feeling of being humiliated and wronged swelled like a balloon that was about to explode. “Now that I think about it, it’s just an article. You’re acting so drastically because you want to take the opportunity to get rid of me.”

Just an article?

It turned out that these days, Noah had always thought that she had proposed a divorce because of an article. The smell of Jenny’s perfume, the invitation between the two of them that she had personally heard, and the fact that he had personally said, “Even if I cheat on you, it’s none of your business…”

Just like that?

Miya was at a loss for words. A surge of absurd helplessness washed over her. So this was what Noah was thinking. She’d been throwing a tantrum for no reason all along.

It was fine when she was facing other people, but when she was facing Noah, even if she had thousands of words to say, she could not say them. Miya also suddenly began to realize that there was really a problem with her communication with Noah. It was indeed as Grandpa had said.

A tendon was throbbing in her head, and Miya forced herself to steady her breathing. She wanted to do what Grandfather had told her. She wanted to take the first step and properly explain the whole thing to Noah from start to finish.

She was deep in thought when she was interrupted.

Noah’s voice sounded again in her ear. “How did you plan it? And what excuse are you thinking about? Grandfather isn’t here right now. Don’t even think about having someone to back you up anymore.”

‘ No, I didn’t,’ Miya responded silently to herself.

Noah, not caring about Miya’s face that had paled from pressure by him, leaned towards Miya oppressively again. “Do you want to kick me to the curb as soon as Grandpa is gone so that you can be with your senior?”

Noah continued, “Grandpa could barely be saved tonight. Are you very happy?”

Miya could ignore the first part of the sentence, but it completely hurt Miya. Miya couldn’t believe the words had come out of Noah’s mouth. All the explanations were swallowed by Miya. Miya was shaking with rage. “Noah, you… how could you think of me like that?”

“Could I have guessed wrong,” Noah continued.

Noah didn’t know how much this hurt Miya, but now, he was overwhelmed by anger. The thought that Miya might be having an affair with another man these days and that she would have to divorce him and go to that man when his grandfather left made the anger grow even more. It burned what little rationality Noah had left. That was why Noah had said those words in a panic.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang in the quiet lounge.

Miya’s hands and body trembled, while her eyes were filled with disappointment and anger as she slapped Noah across the face.

Due to their natural physique, women had little strength. In addition, Miya’s body was weak to begin with, so no matter how much strength she used, it did not hurt or itch for Noah.

However, Noah had never been slapped by anyone since he was young. Even his grandparents had never treated him like this. The feeling of being betrayed and humiliated had yet to dissipate. In addition, Miya’s slap had completely angered Noah. Hence, Noah’s anger attacked his heart. Without thinking, he stretched out his hand and wanted to return it.

However, just as he reached his hand out halfway, he saw Miya trembling in fear. Tears were welling up in her eyes, but her eyes were still filled with anger as she looked at him. Noah’s hand immediately could not reach out anymore. He was a little afraid that if he hit her back, the two of them would probably break up, and Miya would not turn back. Hence, Noah’s raised hand slowly lowered again.

Miya watched as Noah’s hand rose and then dropped. Noah still looked angry, although she didn’t know why Noah had dropped his hand again. But Miya figured it was because Noah had gotten back some of his sanity.

So Miya gathered her courage and looked up at Noah. The man in front of her was breathing heavily, and his breathing echoed in the quiet lounge. He was a little scary.

After Noah calmed down a little, he suddenly opened his mouth and said, “Don’t worry. When Grandpa’s health gets better, we’ll get a divorce. I won’t hold you and Jack back anymore.”

Noah’s sudden change caught Miya off guard. She was about to say something when she saw Noah let go of the hand that had been supporting him. Then, as if he had lost all his strength, he slowly walked out the door.

But Miya’s heart suddenly softened, because she had just seen the pain and reluctance in Noah’s eyes when he spoke. She didn’t know if that was reluctance to part with her, but Miya remembered Grandfather’s words at that moment. Maybe this wasn’t the best time, but Miya still wanted to make things clear to Noah..
