Chapter 497 - NEVER LOVED YOU (1/2)

Sayaka looked at Akira with hurt in her eyes. Like with Daiki's unconditional love, she also believed that Akira should have complete maternal attachment. Despite their differences, she was the genuine biological mother. It was unimaginable that Akira would shun her.

With that in mind, Sayaka decided to solve the problem with Akira first. As long as her daughter was willing to welcome her back, Daiki would not oppose their reconciliation.

”Akira, I know I have wronged you. I am sorry, and I will continue making it up to you.” She said with humility. ”I know you do not truly wish for your parents to divorce. Wouldn't it be better if we could all be one happy family again?”

Akira looked at Sayaka with deep and clear eyes.

”What do you want?” Akira asked.

”What do you mean?” Sayaka asked. ”I missed my family. I want for us to be together again.”

Akira laughed. ”But we are still a family even though you and Dad are not together anymore. We cannot deny our blood ties.”

Sayaka was frustrated by the answer, but she knew that showing her temper was probably not going to get her what she wanted. Furthermore, it seemed like her daughter had become even more stubborn in the last few months.

She turned to Daiki. ”Dear, isn't it better if we could be together again? Our children need a good and safe environment to return to. It is not healthy for them not to have two parents to depend on in the future.”

She believed she understood Daiki more than she knew Akira. If she could not make her daughter accept her, she believed she still had some emotional power over her husband.

”Are you dying?” Daiki asked coldly.

”What?” Sayaka was thrown off by the question.

”If you are not dying, why are you talking like that? The children will have two parents as long as we are alive. It is your responsibility as a mother to care for your children. This matter has nothing to do with being my wife. Regardless of where you are, you can choose to be a good mother.” Daiki responded.

”Dear…” Sayaka started again.

”Stop calling me so intimately. Do not think that you can manipulate me with a few sweet words. From the moment you chose to break our marriage vows, you lost the right to take advantage of me. You and I do not have a chance in hell to get back together.” The words were firm.

”I have been a little preoccupied in the past few months, so I have not had a moment to deal with you. Now that Akira is back, my heart is at rest. So, tomorrow we will get a divorce, one way or the other. If you do not sign the agreement, I will be taking this matter to court.” Daiki added.

Sayaka panicked at the cold treatment. ”No, I refuse. I won't get divorced. How can you be cruel to leave me just because of one mistake? Did you even ever love me?”

Daiki laughed. ”You can take it as if I never loved you because the person I loved would never have done something so cruel to me. And do not act so wronged. You and I know very well whether it was one mistake.”

Sayaka's heart palpitated. ”What do you mean?”

”Why are you asking? Do you think I am not aware of everything you did during our marriage? I do not have to go into the details right now. But if you do not sign, the whole world will know about your shameless affair among other things.” Daiki did not compromise.

Sayaka turned to Akira. ”Akira, please talk to your father. It is not right to leave things like this.”

Akira's eyes twinkled brightly as she watched the drama. She felt like her views about shamelessness were renewed. She could already see that her mother just did not want to lose the pampering her father gave her.
