Chapter 261

Chapter 261:
“Isn’t she my child too?” he snapped. “Do you even hear yourself right now?”
Millie clenched her fists. She wanted to answer back, but stopped herself. Only a week remained before the divorce could be finalized. Just seven days to go.
She couldn’t afford to make things more complicated now.
Also, Ari would be legally adopted under her mother’s name. Brandon would never have any claim to her.
But Brandon wasn’t done. “I know you and Alexia are close—that’s fine. But what’s really going on between you and Giffard?”
Millie looked up, disbelief crossing her face. “Are you seriously accusing me now? There’s nothing between us.”
Brandon gave a bitter laugh.
He locked eyes with her, his voice cold. “I saw it myself. You and him were getting a little too close in that hospital room.”
Millie paused, thinking back. Then it clicked.
“So that was you standing outside the hospital room door?”
He didn’t answer, just stared at her.
Was that supposed to be a confession? That he’d caught her?
She actually found it absurd.
A laugh escaped her lips.
“And who exactly are you to judge me?” she asked, a faint smile playing on her face. “You think I’m the one in the wrong? Your affair with Vivian is public knowledge. And now you’re here, trying to lecture me about inappropriate relationships? Don’t you think that’s just a little hypocritical?”
There had never been anything inappropriate between her and Giffard. She’d made that clear to him that day, and nothing had happened since.
But even if there had been—so what?

Brandon’s jaw tensed.
“So, which one is it? Giffard? Charles?” he asked after a long pause. “Or someone else entirely? What’s the goal here? To make me jealous? Get me to leave Vivian?”
He didn’t stop. “I’ve told you before, Millie. You’ll always be my wife. Just wait six more months. Vivian won’t be in the picture much longer.”
He sighed, his voice sharp and clearly irritated. “Whatever this is, just stop.”
Millie faced the man in front of her.
Half his face was cast in shadow, but his eyes remained vivid, piercing. She used to love those eyes, especially when they reflected her, made her feel like she was the center of his world.
But now, those same eyes were hiding someone who could say such heartless things. He was defending another woman while telling her not to make a scene.
Did he truly believe she belonged to him, no matter what?

In the dim light, the only thing that sparkled was her earring catching the faint glow.
