Chapter 9 Elijahs mind went blank for a moment . He couldnt understand why he had this reaction . It was probably because he was too surprised . He was surprised that Willow , after all these days of fussing , still wasnt done and even dared to push her luck . Playing such games is really immature in front of Bobby , said Elijah . Willow frowned . Games ? Does he think Im just messing around ? Bobbys expressionless face slowly came back to life . Angrily , he said , Mom , how could you do this ? Its obviously your fault , and you still want to threaten us . Why cant you reflect on yourself ? You always like to control me ; now you even want to control who I like or dont like . Dont you allow there to be anyone in the world whos good to me ? Youre selfish , not loving me . Someone like you doesnt deserve to be my mom ! The words were harsh . Willow smiled ; it was a somewhat desolate smile . Sandra quickly stepped forward , gently covering Bobbys mouth , and saying softly , Bobby , you cant talk to your mom like that . She acted like Bobbys biological mother . Bobby spoke much more gently to her . Im just telling the truth . Why cant I say it ? Elijah glanced at Bobby and then said to Willow , Lets go to the study . Okay , answered Willow . She had come to get the divorce papers . The divorce papers were most urgent . She followed Elijah upstairs . Elijah pushed open the door to the study , turned on the computer , opened the email , and clicked print . The printer started working ; its originally faint noise became the only sound in the room , somewhat loud . It annoyed Elijah . He walked to the window and lit a cigarette . As the smoke rose , he said , If its because of Sandra , theres really no need . He didnt know how to continue . Turning his head , he saw Willow with the printed divorce papers in her hands . There were only two flimsy pieces of paper , two copies . Signing them would represent the end of their marriage . 1/3 12:55 Tue , 11 Mar Chapter 9 Willow didnt hesitate . Her decisiveness irritated Elijah . His anger came from nowhere . Probably because he had always been the one who others chased and fawned over , and this was the first time someone had rejected him like this . He asked , Willow , isnt that going too far ? Are you serious ? Willow put down the pen and looked at him . She was calm inside , and her gaze upon Elijah was equally serene . For so many years , she knew better than anyone that her relationship with Elijah was already tattered . Yet , time and again they caught glimpses of hope in the cracks of life , thinking it was a sign of improvement , then backtracking further . Especially after having a child . Even though she often knew it was just a vicious cycle . It was time to end it . Willow pushed the divorce papers , along with the pen , toward Elijah . Sign them . Elijah laughed bitterly . Willow , youre really capable ! You decided to get married , and now you decide to divorce . What do you mean ? Dont want to divorce ? Did I say I dont ? said Elijah . -The feeling fbeing discarded like trash was damn frustrating for him . He shouted , Youve made a mess of my good life . What havent you got ? And now you act like the victim ? Waiting for my mom to back you up ? Are you planning to show these to my mom as soon as I sign ? Willow felt annoyed and exhausted . She just wanted Elijah to sign quickly . I wont ; I just feel like we should end it . These years , you havent been happy , I havent been happy , neither has Bobby ; theres no need to continue , said she . Elijah said , Who would believe you ? I believed you too much in the past , and thats why I drank that milk . Bobby is right ; why dont you reflect on yourself ? If youre unhappy , thats on you , you forced this relationship . You got into my bed in such a dirty way , yet you expect me to treat you right ? Suddenly , Willow slapped him . She exerted so much strength that even her hand tingled . She shook with anger . I told you , it was your mom who gave me that milk ; I didnt know it . Elijah scoffed . Obviously , he didnt believe her . 2/3 55 Tue Chapter 9 54 % The pain on his cheek stimulated his nerves . He took the pen from the table , his gaze sharp . Once I sign , I wont give you another chance . I can let you have the property distribution as you wish . Before , even those who dated me for two months got an allowance : when we broke up ; youve had much longer , so its only fair that you get more . After the divorce , I wont allow you to visit Bobby , not even once . Im afraid youll corrupt him and affect his relationship with my future wife , leading to family discord . If you agree , Ill sign . Title: A Princess? No! I'm the Female General! In "A Princess? No!
