Chapter 866 Dylan Was Not His child (1/2)

David picked up the divorce settlement and tore it into pieces.

He threw up his hands and cast the pieces of the damning document aside. The shredded paper squares floated in the air and then landed on the ground, unable to be pieced together again.

Rita watched him tearing the divorce settlement, calm and expressionless like a beautiful and soulless statue, as if her determination wouldn't be shaken regardless of what he did.

”It doesn't matter. I still have another copy. Just sign your name on it when you have calmed down a little.”

”Calm down? I'm unable to calm myself down!” David stared at Rita with a mixture of anger and sorrow and then continued, ”You are going to leave me. How shall I calm myself down? Rita, tell me. What can I do to keep you by my side?”

Suddenly David laughed with a look of grief in his eyes. ”We have been together for so many years. Are there only bad memories of us in your mind? Don't you love me at all?”

Rita did not answer his question. In reality, she had no courage to answer him because her answer was not what he would wish to hear. Although she was determined to leave him, she didn't want to hurt him further.

She ignored his questions and continued, ”As for Dylan... Since you suspect that he is not your child, I will take him away. I want neither the company stocks nor the villas from you. I just want the divorce...”

Before she could finish her words, David suddenly got up, pushed her down on the sofa and pressed his lips to hers to stop her from uttering these words which would cut his heart to the quick. He held her face between his h
