The Divorced Super Rich Husband

Chapter 2

"Give it to me!" shouted Stefani as she snatched the test from Marco. Marco's brow furrowed. In his heart, he wondered if it was Stefani's.

To confirm his concern, Marco asked again. This time with a little more emphasis. "Is that thing yours?"

Stefani looked even more panicked. This provoked Marco's anger. The blood in Marco's body seemed to boil. "Stefani, is that thing yours?"

Stefani was still silent, and she was downcast. Her eyes looked at the floor with an unfocused gaze.

Marco held both of Stefani's arms. His eyes stared intently at Stefani's face, which was still downcast. He tried to make eye contact. "Tell me, is this item yours? Stefani, answer me!"

Stefani gasped. The worry on her face disappeared. She now looked angry. "Let go! Let go of me! A useless man like you doesn't deserve to touch me!"

Marco gasped in surprise. Stefani had never been rude to him.

Stefani continued to shake her hand and made Marco release his grip. Marco's gaze softened. He realized he had been rude to Stefani, and he was sorry. However, it was undeniable that he was still angry and curious.

"Honey, tell me, is it yours? Just say yes or no." Marco said while holding back his anger. He waited for an answer from his wife. However, after some time, Stefani did not answer.

"That means it's yours." Marco blew out his breath. He was angry. His chest ached. This was a betrayal. How could his wife, the wife he hadn't made love to in a year, be pregnant?

"Insolent! You dare to accuse me so viciously! What kind of man are you?" Stefani shouted in defense.

"So this thing isn't yours? Then whose is it?" asked Marco. His gaze was menacing. "Do you think it belongs to Mom or Eva? That's not possible. The only possibility here is you!"

"Enough! You're just a garbage man! You don't get to question me about things like this!" shouted Stefani, pushing Marco's body backward.

There was the sound of footsteps coming from the stairs. It looked like someone was coming up.

"My God, what's all the noise!" shouted Melani. She appeared from the direction of the stairs.

"Marco, why are you always making so much noise? Can't you do anything useful?" Melani walked over to Stefani and Marco.

"Mom ...." Stefani looked at Melani with some fear.

As for Marco, he exhaled slowly. He managed his emotions so as not to explode right then and there.

"What's all the fuss about?" asked Melani. Her gaze interrogated Marco and Stefani.

Marco was silent. He needed time to compose himself. As for Stefani, she was downcast.

"Why are you two silent? Do you think I'm a statue? Answer me!" Melani shouted, already unconscious.

Marco sighed. He took the test from Stefani's hand and handed it to Melani. "Is this mom's?"

A slap landed on Marco's face. Melani had done it.

"Sassy! Have you seen me with a husband? How dare you speak so presumptuously to me!" Melani shouted angrily.

Marco rubbed his sore face. It was true that Melani did not have a husband. However, Melani was still quite young, and he was sure that Melani had not yet entered menopause. Who knew if Melani was playing naughty outside?

However, all those wild thoughts could only be ringing in her head. All she had to do this time was be patient as Melani was swearing at her.

"You're a useless man! You can only live off your wife's family! Your monthly money is not even enough to feed yourself. How can you possibly say such shameful things to me?!" Melani shouted.

"If this isn't mom's, then whose is it?" asked Marco curiously. Stefani didn't want to be honest with him. However, if Melani had pressured her, Stefani would have been honest.

Melani's gaze fell on Stefani, who looked down in fear. "Stefani, be honest. Is this yours?" Melani asked as she held up the test in front of her face.

Melani lifted her face. Melani could always make her tell the truth in her way.

Melani pointed at Marco. "Mom, you know, he's a very useless man. I've had it with him! He's never been the kind of husband I wanted! Let alone luxuries, he never even gives me enough money to buy my cosmetics."

Stefani sighed. "This test is mine."

Melani was shocked. Her jaw dropped to the floor! Her head was suddenly dizzy from hearing this fact.

"Why... why are you doing this to me?" Melani asked. Her gaze was very disappointed in Stefani. "Why did you have to have a child with this useless man?"

Hearing Melani's disappointment. Marco felt frustrated. How could Stefani be pregnant when they hadn't had sex in a year? 

"Now you're pregnant and can't divorce Marco. How can I fulfill my dream of choosing a rich son-in-law? If you already have a child, how will the young masters who have been wanting you accept you?" Melani cried with disappointment.

She pointed at Marco, walked up to him, and slapped him repeatedly. "Insolent man! Insolent man! How dare you impregnate my daughter!"

"Stop, mom. Stop hitting me!" pleaded Marco. "Stefani, tell me, who is the father of the child you are carrying!"

At Marco's question, Melani's hand stopped in mid-air. "This child is not yours?"

Marco shook his head. "We haven't made love for a long time. How can I give him a child?"

Melani exhaled. She felt relieved. If it wasn't Marco's child, it could be an excuse to force Stefani to divorce Marco.

"Tell me, who is the father?" Melani asked. Stefani just looked down nervously. She didn't want to answer her.

"Stefani, lift your face!" ordered Melani.

Melani gave Stefani a sharp look. "Tell me, who is the father of the child you are carrying?"

Feeling pressured, Stefani let out a long breath and answered. "This... this is the child of Hansel Burton, Mom."

Marco was shocked. His heart seemed to stop beating. Although he already understood that the child was not his, he did not want to know who the man who had presumptuously preceded him was.

Meanwhile, Melani cheered happily. Hansel Burtom was one of the prospective sons-in-law she wanted. He was handsome, rich, and also had a good background. Although not from the strongest family, that was enough for her.

"Good, you made the right choice! Hansel has always been the role model son-in-law I wanted!"

Marco's gaze became sad. He was angry. He was disappointed. The pain of disappointment ruled his soul. "Stefani, why did you have such a heart for me? Why did you do something like this?"

Stefani's gaze became fierce. "Do you think I'm not tired? Do you think I'm not disappointed? Marco, think logically! What woman in the world likes to be poor?"

"But you know that I never stop trying! I tried to make you happy!" Marco didn't blame his wife. However, he couldn't justify it either. His heart was hurting so much right now.

"Did I become happy by trying? That didn't happen, Marco! I suffered! I suffered so much living with you! Marrying you is my biggest regret!" Stefani shouted. "I wanted to hide this from you. At least until I went to the doctor. The father of the child I'm carrying is extraordinary. Far beyond you. That's why I want us to divorce!"
