Divorce, Please: The Young Master Does Not Love Me

"Jasmine, don’t say that. It makes us sound like strangers. We’re closer than that—my money is your money."

Jasmine Warren’s heart warmed, but her tone was deliberately lighthearted. "Babe, don’t even say that. That’s his money he gave you; I can’t possibly use it. Besides, you need to start saving for your baby now. What if it’s a little boy? He’ll need it to get a wife someday, you know."

"Sigh..." At the mention of the baby, she instinctively placed a hand on her stomach and sighed.

’This is my baby, but it’s Tristan Grayson’s, too. I can’t let our child live in poverty. This money has to be saved for them.’

But if Jasmine really lost her job because of this, there was no way she could escape the responsibility. It would be her duty to support Jasmine. "Jasmine, I’m so sorry..."

"What’s all this? Mika, if you truly see me as a friend, then trust me and let me help. I, Jasmine Warren, might just be a woman with small shoulders, but they’re more than big enough for you to lean on." Jasmine smiled, pulling her into a comforting embrace.

Those words moved Mika to tears. She nodded, her voice choked with emotion.

’No one has ever said anything like that to me before. No one...’

’At a time like this, she truly had no one but Jasmine. Jasmine was the only one she could rely on...’

Jasmine Warren gently pushed her away and wiped her tears. "Alright, stop crying. Look at you. It’s so easy to make you cry."

"And whose fault is that..." Mika chuckled softly, pouting and rolling her eyes at Jasmine in mock annoyance.

"Come on, let’s go." Jasmine took her hand and started walking toward the pharmacy on the main floor. At that moment, a woman walking toward them suddenly collided with Mika.

The impact almost knocked Mika off her feet. Jasmine Warren quickly steadied her before turning angrily to the woman. "Hey, watch where you’re going! Didn’t you see her?"

"I’m sorry, I’m so sorry! I-It wasn’t on purpose." The woman was bundled up in a down jacket, hat, and mask. She kept her head bowed as she apologized profusely to Mika.

Mika rubbed her shoulder and held Jasmine back, whispering, "Jasmine, I’m fine." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Fine? How can you say you’re fine? You’re pregnant! What if that bump had caused something to happen?! Mika Summers, all these years, and you still haven’t changed! Why are you always such a pushover? When are you going to stand up for yourself for once?!" Jasmine, who was already furious, became even more incensed by Mika’s dismissiveness and turned her frustration on her.

Until now, the woman had just been bowing her head and apologizing. But when she heard the name "Mika," she jerked her head up, her face a mask of shock as she stared at her.

"—" Mika was stunned into silence by Jasmine’s outburst. She just stood there, speechless, not knowing how to respond. ’This is just who I am,’ she thought. ’No matter how many times I decide to be stronger, to be tougher... I can never go through with it...’

"Y-you’re pregnant?" The woman stared at Mika for a long moment before speaking, her voice trembling.

"Yeah, she’s pregnant. That’s why bumping into her like that was so dangerous." Jasmine’s anger had cooled slightly, but she still glared at the woman irritably.

It was as if the woman hadn’t even heard Jasmine. Her lips curled into a sneer, and she let out a cold laugh. "So, you’re actually pregnant?"

Mika’s brow furrowed in confusion. "Is it that strange for me to be pregnant?" ’What a strange woman,’ she thought. ’What’s so wrong with me being pregnant?’
