One Night Bride: Master Blackwood's Substitute Wife-Chapter 880: The Moment We Met

She was even impatient to get a divorce!

Silas Eastwood’s large hand gripped the edge of the divorce agreement paper tightly. With a cold sneer, he snatched the pen from Sharon Langley’s hand and swiftly signed his name.

"Miss Langley, I’ve signed it, but you better protect the child in your belly for me!"

Throwing the thin divorce agreement in front of Sharon Langley, Silas Eastwood spoke with a sarcastic tone.

If she dared to harm the child in her belly even slightly, he would make sure she experienced the excruciating pain he had once endured!

After speaking, Silas Eastwood turned and left without hesitation.

His assistant was waiting for him in the underground parking lot. Seeing his displeased expression as he emerged, the assistant immediately guessed what had happened.

Recently, the only thing that could cause such a big emotional upheaval for Silas Eastwood was Sharon Langley asking him to sign the divorce agreement. Judging by the expression, the assistant figured he must have signed it.

Watching Silas Eastwood forcefully open the car door and get in, the assistant tentatively asked, "Mr. Eastwood, why don’t you just clarify your identity to your wife?"

If he had explained, the assistant believed that given Sharon Langley’s current situation, she certainly wouldn’t have chosen divorce.

Upon hearing this, Silas Eastwood’s thin lips curled slightly, and he lazily kneaded his brow, finding it all absurd.

Hadn’t he considered being honest with Sharon Langley?

Just before, seeing her cry so heartbreakingly, he had intended to confess, but unexpectedly, she pushed him away first and even used the child to threaten him to sign!

All of this left him disheartened.

Closing his eyes wearily, a mocking smile crept to the corners of Silas Eastwood’s mouth.

In fact, encountering Sharon Langley had happened many years ago.

When he was a child, things were different. He had everything, but the Eastwood family didn’t value him at all, because he was a late talker and didn’t speak until he was five.

And even after he started speaking, he seldom communicated with others, so the Eastwood family’s doctors diagnosed him with autism.

But Silas Eastwood understood clearly that he didn’t have autism; he simply didn’t want to talk.

In Veridia, the Eastwood family indeed held a significant position, appearing harmonious and loving in the eyes of outsiders, but in reality, everyone in the family was cold-hearted, with interest-driven insides hidden beneath hypocritical exteriors.

He remembered one year during the Eastwood family’s annual dinner.

At the dinner table, his parents wanted him to say auspicious words. Everyone else could say them, except for him.

Right there, he was thrown out of the Eastwood family’s front door.

That crowd stood at the doorway, pointing at his nose, cursing, "You mute fool who can’t speak! How did the Eastwood family end up with a dimwit like you! Stupid to the extreme! If you don’t start speaking tonight, don’t come back! Stand outside and reflect properly!"

The winter was exceptionally cold that year, with heavy snow blanketing all of Veridia.

The house had the heater on, so when Silas Eastwood was thrown out, he was only wearing a thin sweatshirt.

Even on his feet, there were just a pair of flimsy fluffy slippers.

Standing in the snowy ground for just a moment made the snow beneath quickly melt away.

Little Silas Eastwood turned blue and purple from the cold.

If it hadn’t been for Sharon Langley, he might have died that night.

Back then, the Langley family and the Eastwood family were not far apart.

As a child, Sharon Langley wasn’t particularly pretty since her face was covered with various pits and scars, so she wasn’t well-liked by other kids.

Having run out from the New Year’s dinner, only her father, Mr. Langley, was looking for her; no one else cared about her disappearance.

Thus, the two children met.
