Chapter 2 +2 Bonus On the day I was discharged , the sky suddenly erupted in a torrential downpour . By the time I returned to Bennet Villa , I was completely soaked . The moment Aaron saw me , he immediately covered his nose in disgust : " You stink ! " The scent of rainwater mixed with earth wasn't actually unpleasant . He was only doing this to amuse Sienna , who was wearing my pajamas . Sure enough , his exaggerated performance made Sienna cover her mouth and giggle . She looked at me with eyes full of smugness and provocation . I chose to ignore it and turned to head upstairs . Marcus , however , hurried out of the kitchen , frowning at me with disgust in his voice : " Sienna specifically took time off work today to spend time with Aaron . Instead of being grateful , you're here throwing a tantrum ? " Standing on the steps , I responded coldly : " Well , so I'm giving him to you . Let's get divorced . " 1/5 1 12:48 Chapter 2 Though spoken softly , every word was crystal clear . 13 +2 Bonus A flash of disdain crossed Marcus's eyes : " Aubrey , where did you learn this act ? Think you can threaten me with divorce ? You think that'll work on me ? " Sienna also stood up , her tone seemingly gentle as she mediated , but actually provocative : " Aubrey , don't misunderstand . Even though Marcus and I grew up together , he's a good husband who's responsible to his family . You should treasure that . How can you threaten him with divorce ? " Her words made Marcus even more disgusted with me . I nodded indifferently : " You're right , so I'm giving him to you . Treasure him well . " With that , I headed upstairs without looking back , ignoring Sienna's secret delight and Marcus's darkened expression behind me . In the bedroom , I packed all my belongings into a suitcase . I placed the signed divorce papers and the document severing mother - son ties on the vanity . Finally , I removed the wedding ring from my finger . Marcus didn't follow me upstairs . He seemed to think I was just throwing a tantrum , so he returned to the kitchen to continue 2/5 12:48 Chapter 2 cooking . 13 +2 Bonus Though he wasn't skilled at cooking , he was willing to learn for Sienna . In our six years of marriage , he'd only ever made me oatmeal , and even that was store - bought . On Instagram , Sienna posted photos of a table full of delicious food , along with Marcus's figure bustling around for her , captioned : [ There's always someone in the world who will forever remember what you love to eat most . ] Within a minute of posting , Marcus's mother Ember Bennet and sister Gianna Bennet eagerly liked it . Ember commented : [ Sienna is still so likable , unlike certain people who schemed their way into marriage six years ago and are still so annoying . ] Gianna chimed in : [ I'll just say it straight , Sienna , you should marry my brother already . His current wife is so inadequate ! ] I casually liked the post . When I refreshed , the post had disappeared . I couldn't be bothered to care and headed downstairs with my suitcase . 3/5 1 12:48 Chapter 2 +2 Bonus Seeing me with the luggage , Marcus coldly scolded : " Sienna's post was just a joke . Do you really need to take it so seriously ? " Sienna also had tears in her eyes , offering a fake apology : " Aubrey , I didn't know you'd actually get jealous . If I'd known , I wouldn't have come over today to upset you . " I looked at Marcus calmly , my tone indifferent : " The divorce papers are on the vanity . See you at the courthouse tomorrow morning . " With that , the taxi arrived . I turned to leave . Marcus was about to speak when Aaron stopped him : " Let her go ! " The six - year - old's face was written with disgust for me . He spat at me , then tore off the necklace around his neck and threw it at me viciously : " Get lost ! Ms. Welch is going to be my new mom from now on . " I said : " Fine . " I casually tossed the necklace into the trash can by the door , opened the taxi door , and got in . I told the driver : " Let's go .
