Chapter 21
Jerome still mistakenly thought that her request for a divorce was a result of being upset about that day.
Even though it wasn’t necessary, Mikayla couldn’t help but ask, “If you knew that day was our fifth anniversary, and you knew I would attach great importance to it, why did you go to dinner with Kylie?”
Jerome looked indifferent as he answered, “For me, it’s no different from any other day.”
Indeed, he didn’t love her, so why bother celebrating the anniversary of their acquaintance?”
It was all just her one–sided expectations.
“Why did I ever have the courage to think that I could move you someday?” Mikayla quietly muttered to herself.
Jerome couldn’t really hear. His dark eyes were fixed on her.
Mikayla’s expression returned to normal. “I didn’t make a fuss about anything. I am serious about the divorce.”
Jerome couldn’t believe that Mikayla was still talking about divorce. His face darkened. ” Mikayla, is this marriage something you just decide to enter and exit whenever you feel like it?”
Mikayla found it amusing. “What’s the matter? Didn’t you want to get rid of me sooner and be with your paramour?”
Jerome didn’t appreciate Mikayla’s tone. It was sharp and mocking, filled with
indifference.
“Whether I want to get rid of you is my business. You don’t have the right to force me into marriage using Grandma when you want to marry and then suggest divorce outright!
“So, what do you
want?”
“You’ve tormented me for so long, so you have to wait until I’ve tormented you enough before saying anything!”
“You’re crazy.” “Mikayla put down her spoon and stood up. “There are still over 30 days.

At this moment, Macaya’s phone rang, with a fogone the had wonted toecifically for Jerome’s vor, be he had dismissed it.
Mikayla had set it as her ring one, thinking that if from go seed to hearing it he might want to use le, 100.
How did she become so infatuated before!
“Hello, Celeste,” Milkape answered the phone.
“What’s bothering you? Why so upset?” Curiosity laced Celestr Reign’s voice
“Nothing just got bitten by a dog”
Mikayla forcefully exhaled her frustration. She asked, “Why are you coung me at this hour? Isn’t it time to be with your lovely husband?”
“Ste’s on the night shift today.” Celeste spoke sweetly, “My husband’s birthday is coming up, and I want to pick a gift for him at the mall. Are you free tomorrow? Accompany me, will you?”
Mikayla glanced at the black card before her, “Sure!”
Not only did she want to go, but she also planned to max out Jerome’s card to ease her frustration!
The next day, Mikayla and Celeste met at the mall.
“Hey, I haven’t seen you tu half a month. Why do you look so much better?”
Celeste teased, “Finally getting some nourishment from Jerome?”
Recently, Mikayla hadn’t been on a diet. She had been eating regular meals every day. She, even had a bowl of unsweetened oatmeal made with sprouted oats topped with
raspberries in the mornings, so her complexion had improved.
“Don’t mention him. It ruins my mood,” Mikayla said. “I’m naturally beautiful. I don’t. need to rely on that dog of a man.”
Celeste asked hesitantly, “The ‘dog of a man‘ refers to… Jerome?”
“It can’t be Dr. Chance from your house.”
“But…”
“No buts.” Mikayla knew what Celeste was about to say, and she didn’t want to hear any more of her talk about Jerome.
She hooked her arm and said, “Let’s talk while we shop!”
Mikayla headed straight to the jewelry counter, like a nouveau riche person, pointing at the most expensive displays.
“This one, that one, and those over there! Just wrap them all up!
The saleswoman’s eyes lit up at Mikayla’s request, almost calling her Fortuna.
Celeste was shocked. “Mikayla, what happened to you? Is this how you spend money, even if you have it?”
Mikayla replied, “The money is from the dog of a man. If I don’t spend it, it would be a
waste.”
She didn’t want it to end up in Kylie’s pocket. She didn’t want to benefit her.
After swiping the card, Mikayla generously told Celeste, “What caught your eye? I’ll get it for you!”
Celeste shook her head. “I can’t afford to provoke. I’ll check out some discounted shirts in the men’s section.”
Celeste didn’t actually need to look at discounted items. With her husband’s income,
sponding tons of thousands while shopping was no problem for her. However, being as extravagant as Mikayla was beyond her
Since the jewelry was precious, Mikayla found it inconvenient to carry while shopping. Tise stati kindly offered to deliver it to her residence.
On the way to the men’s section, Mikayla bought many items from high–end clothing and shoe brands, leaving Celeste astonished.
“Mikayla, are you sure you’re okay?”
