Reborn Before The Divorce

Nydia could only see his profile, with a near-perfect jawline tensed up as if he was suppressing something.

She lifted her hand and covered his hand back with her palm. His hand lightly bounced, apparently caught off guard by her move.

Her slightly cool palm touched his hot hand, and she didn’t expect his hand to be this warm.

Jesse turned his face back to pull his hand back, but was forcefully held by Nydia.

Just as he was about to utter, Nydia immediately said, “It’s safer to hold onto you like this. So, I’ll borrow your hand for a while.”

She had wiped away her tears, but her eyes were still red. At this moment, she was laughing like a cautious little deer, trying to touch him but afraid of being driven away.

Jesse didn’t say anything and just let her hold onto his hand. Because his hand was not cold, Nydia’s hand gradually became warm too.

When they arrived home, the two children immediately ran out. Molly was about to rush to Nydia, but Tavish grabbed her.

“Brother, let me go. I want to find mommy.”

“Mommy is tired. Let mommy and daddy rest,” Tavish said.

“Daddy and mommy have solved the problem. You guys go play, and call us when it’s time for dinner later,” Jesse told Tavish.

“Mommy, are you hurt?” Molly looked at Nydia with concern, seeing her pale lips.

“Yes, mommy is hurt. That’s why mommy needs to rest. How about mommy plays with Molly tomorrow?” Nydia smiled and didn’t hide her problems. “And, daddy is hurt too. Daddy was hurt with mommy just now, and we’ve overcome the difficulties together.”

Her words made Jesse look startled.

“Okay, daddy and mommy, go rest. I will tell you guys to come to dinner later,” Tavish said.

“Okay, you guys are great!”

Nydia returned to her room, and soon Jesse followed her in. Seeing him come in, she was surprised and noticed that he was holding a bottle of oil.

“Take off your clothes,” he said bluntly. She was stunned and then unbuttoned her shirt and took it off. This shirt was given to her by Sibley. Her own clothes were covered in bloodstains and torn.

Seeing her actions, Jesse’s eyes flickered. He didn’t expect her to be so cooperative. In fact, he was not familiar with her body. The only intimate contact they had was when she was not fully conscious. Although they got married afterwards, she always resisted him and didn’t let him touch her again.

Her slender body was wrapped in gauze, and only her protruding collarbone and straight shoulders could be seen. Jesse approached her and asked, “What happened to your arm?”

“Oh, I accidentally bumped into something,” Nydia said casually.

“When?” “This afternoon.”

“Where?”

“In, in Tavish’s school.”

She didn’t expect him to ask so many details and had to make up a story on the spot, which inevitably made her stutter.

“Ah!” Her arm suddenly hurt as Jesse pressed on her bruised area.

“Do you like lying so much?” Jesse raised a corner of his lips and smiled coldly.

His facial features were not gentle, and combined with his temperament, he appeared even colder. Now, with such a smile, it was really chilling.

“It hurts…” She couldn’t help but cry out as he pressed harder on her arm.

“You cry out now? Is it that painful? More painful than being whipped?”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“… no.” She didn’t think so.

Why did she feel like Jesse was mocking her? She fell into silence again.
