Chapter 20: Deepening the Misunderstanding

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Two years after the two of them got married, Noah and Mia moved into the same room. Before the two of them lived together, Mia felt uneasy every day because Noah had personally said that Mia was not his type. Every day, Mia worried that Noah would divorce her one day.

After the two of them lived together, Mia thought that there would be some changes, but Noah was still treating Mia coldly.

Mia finally knew Noah was blaming her. He’d been blaming her all along.

Noah’s words hurt Mia because she felt guilty.

Mia’s voice was light, like a feather falling silently. “After we get divorced, you can be with someone you love.”

When Noah heard this, his heart suddenly ached. He subconsciously wanted to say something, but he heard Mia say, “I’m sorry.”

Then, he saw Mia gently shift her body to sit further away from him. She then lowered her head and hugged her legs like an insecure child.

Noah looked at the tears on Mia’s face that had yet to disappear. Sparkling teardrops hung at the corner of her eyes. At this moment, Mia looked even more lovable. It was also the first time Noah had the thought of “did I do something wrong”.

In the past few years of their marriage, this was the first time he had seen Mia cry so sadly. In his memory, Mia seemed to be very happy to see him at all times. She had never expressed her unhappiness in front of him.

Noah had always felt that regret was an emotion only a coward would have. He would never regret his choices or actions. It had always been so for so many years, but now, it seemed like the situation had changed.

As Noah motioned for the driver to drive, he carefully observed Mia’s movements. He saw Mia keeping her back to him all the way while hugging her legs and shrinking into a tiny ball. Noah wondered, was I… too harsh on her?

Just now, Mia seemed to really… want to divorce him.

But he had never thought of divorcing Mia.

Even though Noah was conflicted about this marriage when they first got together, after they moved into the same room and stayed together, Noah had never thought of getting a divorce.

Noah also thought that this marriage would continue peacefully until he grew old. He never felt that Mia would want to leave him. Perhaps it was because of the admiration in Mia’s eyes every time she looked at him, Noah naturally thought that Mia was attached to him and would not leave him.

Moreover, after being married for a few years, their interactions were not as uncomfortable and awkward as Noah had initially thought. On the contrary, he felt very comfortable whenever he was with Mia. It was as if there was a kind of magic in Mia. It was so comfortable that it was like he had encountered a gentle breeze and drizzle. It silently entered Noah’s mind and changed his emotions. He did not know when, but a sea of flowers that belonged to Mia had been born in his heart.

Noah felt that in the past, he would not like this kind of girl who looked like the sweet and fragile type. He also did not want to compromise with this forced marriage. He just wanted Old Master to feel that his decision was wrong.

But he never thought of leaving Mia alone.

At this thought, Noah picked up the small blanket beside him, shook it open, and gently covered Mia with it. Looking at the gentle and glowing side of Mia’s face that was revealed, Noah could not help but want to reach out and touch it.

Noah’s careless swing had left a shadow on Mia. As soon as she sensed Noah’s approach, Mia, afraid of being hurt again, instinctively wanted to escape Noah’s touch.

Noah’s hand stilled at Mia’s movement. He didn’t want to say anything more unpleasant, so he turned away in frustration.

However, he still felt a little indignant, so he turned around and patted Mia’s body through the blanket.

It was already very late by the time they reached home. Mia had been feeling unwell the whole time and endured it the whole journey. Once she reached home, she quickly went upstairs to the guest room and locked the door without giving Noah any chance to follow her in.

Noah was left alone outside the door and angrily knocked on the door a few times. It could be seen that Mia had no intention of opening the door. Given his attitude today, Noah was too embarrassed to force Mia to open the door again. Hence, he waited outside the door for a while before leaving himself.

Mia’s condition wasn’t any better.

In the washroom, Mia took off her clothes and saw bruises on her back in the mirror. Moreover, Noah had thrown her into the car earlier. It really hurt a little. Ever since she was pregnant and took that medicine, her physical condition had been getting worse.

Coupled with the fact that her stomach was cramping just now, Mia was really worried about the baby in her stomach. She wanted to find someone to ask about the situation, but it was already so late, and it was really not appropriate to disturb her senior. Hence, Mia tossed and turned and waited for the whole night..
