Sold To An Alpha - Chapter 214

Together, they were all admitted to the same hospital. It took a few hours before they woke up from their unconscious state.

The first to wake up was Mr. Robert, while Mrs. Robert and Shawn awoke afterward.

Due to their problem not being too serious, they were discharged per their request.

Mr. Robert stepped out of the building to see their family car parked outside the hospital. Someone’s voice resounded, and he turned his head to see his wife walking down the stairs with Shawn beside her.

Their eyes met, and Mrs. Robert averted her gaze without bothering to say a single word. She dragged Shawn along with her and boarded the family car, then turned to stare at Mr. Robert, who was still confused by the kind of look they gave him.

He shook his head and hurried to the car, then stepped in to sit beside them. The driver started the car and sped off down the road, towards their second estate.

Through the drive, everyone was completely silent, with awkwardness in the atmosphere.

The car finally slowed down in less than an hour as they arrived at the second estate, and with a careful pullover, the driver drove into the compound and swiftly parked in the parking lot.

The two bodyguards, who were seated in the front seat, dashed down and pulled the door open for them.

Mrs. Robert stepped down, followed by Shawn and then Mr. Robert. He proceeded to walk up to his wife, who was already dragging Shawn along with her as she walked to step into the building.

“Claire!” He called out to her by her name, but Mrs. Robert completely ignored him and continued to walk up the stairs to enter the building.

She pushed the door open and stepped in, then proceeded to close it, but Mr. Robert stopped her before she could.

He pushed it open and walked in, then shut it by himself and grabbed his wife, who was already about to walk away, by the arm.

Mrs. Robert’s face crumpled in rage, and she angrily turned to stare at him. “What do you want?” She asked in an unpleasant, unfriendly tone, causing Mr. Robert to draw his head back in shock. What just happened? His wife has never been harsh on him, not even once. She was always very soft-spoken, just…

His eyes fluttered vigorously, and he took a quick breath. “Claire-”

“Don’t you dare Claire me? This is all your fault! I hope you’re happy now after killing her. I hope you’re very happy!” She glared hatefully at him with tears in her eyes and turned around to leave, but suddenly halted, then turned back to gaze at him. “Before I forget, I want to let you know that I will be filing for a divorce paper which will be ready in a week. So please do sign it then.” With that being said, she turned around to walk away, but Mr. Robert grabbed her by the arm yet again and stopped her on her track. He raised his eyes to stare at Shawn, who was also gazing at him with hatred in his eyes, and motioned for him to give them privacy.

Shawn glared at him before eventually ambling out of the living room.

Mr. Robert turned his wife around so she could gaze at him and gently cupped her cheek. A low breath exited his nose and he pinched between his brows as he was completely lost and broken at that moment. “Claire, listen, I know it’s my fault that our daughter is not here with us anymore… and I honestly wish I could go back in time to change things, or maybe even give my life in exchange for hers to bring her back to you, but…” He let out a low sigh, and tiny drops of tears began to fall from his eyes. “I loved her as much as you do, and I just wanted the best for her. I didn’t want anything to happen to her outside in this cruel world, I just-”

“John…I will never forgive you for taking my daughter away from me, and neither will I stay with you.”

“Claire, please, it hasn’t come to this point. We have been married for forty years and… you want to leave me now? To get a divorce! Did I suddenly mean nothing to-?” Mrs. Robert snatched her hand from him before he could finish his words and sent a slap across his face. “Whether you like it or not, I am getting a divorce and freeing myself from you.” She glared at him and turned around, then stormed off.

Mr. Robert stared at her disappearing back and he fell on his knees as he felt his world crashing before him. What exactly did he do wrong? He questioned himself and buried his face in his palms.

…

A week had passed since the tragic incident that occurred, and a heartening funeral had been held for Linda.

Currently, Mr. Robert, who had a blank expression on his face, was seated in the living room with two documents in front of him at the mini table.

One was a restriction notice, letting him know that he couldn’t get near the mother and child anymore. He was meant to completely stay away from them, especially Shawn, as he had no right over him anymore. Ha! Even his son had disowned him right in front of everyone in the court, saying that he was not his father anymore and never would be. This was something he didn’t expect or see coming. It was just so… overwhelming.

A low sigh left his mouth as he looked at the second paper, which was the divorce paper, and another low sigh left his mouth. He raised his eyes to stare at his wife, who stood in front of him, and her face darkened as she glared at him. “Please sign the papers and quit wasting my time.”

Mr. Robert internally chuckled at his pitiful self and picked up the pen. He had it hover above the paper and hesitated before finally putting in his signature.

Mrs. Robert snatched the paper and, without uttering a word, she turned around and proceeded to leave.. “Please leave the house before I return home with my son.”
