Chapter 8 What about Your Infidelity?
Claire had to quickly recuperate and fight for a suitable job after confinement. As long as she had a stable income, she would have a better chance of winning the custody lawsuit.
After Kayden left, Claire looked at the two sleeping children and thought about how the children had yet to be named. Her heart felt suffocated.
Claire knew that Kayden did not want Delilah to know that they were going to get a divorce. After living here for a long time, she was worried that it would be leaked. During lunch, she discussed with Delilah to bring the two children back to the Beresford community.
Delilah immediately refused.
"That won't do. I'll feel terrible if I don't see my little great-grandchildren for a day." Delilah put down her forks and held Claire's hand. She said earnestly, "Also, Kayden won't dare to cause trouble if you stay by my side."
Claire was very touched.
After marrying the Grant family, she did not gain love, but she gained a family member who doted on her.
"Delilah, thank you," Claire said.
However, Claire still wanted to move out. Delilah firmly refused, so Claire could only give up. She was still in her confinement period. If she moved back to the Beresford community, it was very likely that Kayden would take the children away and she couldn't rest well.
Claire wouldn't be able to do anything until after her confinement.
Delilah especially liked Claire. She immediately took a fancy to Claire, who was the bridesmaid. Claire had a slender waist and perky buttocks. She looked very healthy.
Delilah had never taken a fancy to Bella at all, but Kayden insisted on marrying her. Bella, that scoundrel, actually ran away from the wedding on the day of the wedding. At that time, it was to Delilah's liking. She was about to discuss it with Kayden. Anyway, Bella refused to marry. It was the same if he married Claire. They were both from the Payne family.
Unexpectedly, Kayden also took a fancy to Claire and decided to marry Claire on the spot. When the two of them stood together, they looked like a perfect match.
Delilah was right. In the year Claire married into the Grant family, she gave birth to a son and a daughter for the Grant family. In the future, if she was pregnant with two children again, it would make up for all the missing children of the five generations. It would be even better if she could give birth to three children in the future.
Delilah thought Bella was too fragile and vulnerable to bear a child.
Delilah was determined not to let Kayden and Bella be together and miss out on Claire.
Kayden arrived home late at night. He sat in the living room and lit a cigarette. He had just smoked when he saw a note on the table with three names written on it.
He froze for a moment. Claire? Doesn’t she not know that she has three children?
Kayden extinguished his cigarette and went up to the second floor with the note.
Claire was sitting on the bed. She was wearing a loose breastfeeding shirt and was breastfeeding her first child. Her snow-white chest was exposed. Kayden's eyes froze for a moment, and a wave of heat spread throughout his body.
Claire heard the sound and looked up. When she saw that it was Kayden, she quickly covered her chest with her hand.
Kayden loosened his tie in frustration and walked to the bed. His cold eyes were filled with anger. He was already angry at noon, but Delilah was there.
Kayden threw the note with the names in Claire's face.
"Claire, you've crossed a line. Who gave you permission to name my children?" Kayden said.
Claire looked at him unhappily. "If I've crossed the line by naming my children, what about your infidelity, Mr. Grant?"
Kayden thought she was indeed jealous and minded him giving Bella a ring. Ever since she married him, she loved him whole-heartedly. Every day, she would try to please him. She was no longer the Payne family's daughter. She could no longer get back to the Payne family. After the divorce, she had nowhere to go. Moreover, she had a sick mother who was bedridden and needed high medical fees every month.
As for her work, no one dared to go against Kayden when he gave the order.
Her abnormal behavior for the past two days is all to attract my attention. In fact, she does not want a divorce at all! he thought
"Claire, is it fun to play hard to get?" Kayden's words were harsh and unkind.
Claire frowned. Her child was about to fall asleep in her arms. She did not dare to speak loudly for fear of disturbing the child. She lowered her head and ignored Kayden.
Seeing that she did not say anything, Kayden thought to himself that he had indeed guessed her thoughts right.
Seeing that the child was asleep, Claire placed the child in the crib.
At this moment, her gaze landed lightly on Kayden's face. Her once soft eyes became cold.
"Kayden, not to mention that the custody of the breastfeeding child belongs to the mother, if I sue you for having an affair, the party at fault in the marriage needs to compensate the innocent party. If you don't want to make a scene in court and let Delilah know, promise me as soon as possible that you will give me custody. I promise to disappear in front of your eyes immediately and let you marry your sweetheart immediately!"
Kayden looked at her angrily. "You don't even have the means to survive. Do you think the judge is blind and will sentence the child to you?"
Claire's almond-shaped eyes stared straight at Kayden.
"Do you think your obligations as a father are gone after a divorce? Won't the judge order you to pay alimony?"
