Back in Time: Unshackling From Love (Mikayla Davidson)

Chapter 123

rome shielded Mikayla from the shattered car window, taught her how to drive, and came to her rescue when Taylor attempted to abduct her. At times, Mikayla would get angry at him, but he endured her rage.

He had even suggested sleeping in the same room so they could act as a couple for some time. Past Jerome wouldn’t have done that.

“Kay, I can tell he cares about you,” Eduard said. “He said he had to attend a meeting that morning, but everyone could tell he came specifically to visit you because you didn’t go home for the entire night.

“He gifted me a fountain pen because he wanted to please you. He wants you to know that he cares about your family, too.”

Indeed, Mikayla would be over the moon if this happened in the past. Yet, sorrow was the only thing that filled her chest now. He didn’t cherish her when she loved him wholeheartedly, but he refused to let her go when she gave up and decided to file a divorce.

“Grandpa, it simply isn’t enough for me to stay with him,” Mikayla replied. “Once we’re divorced, he would get his freedom. He has nothing to do with me in the future, and I will no longer long for him.”

Eduard sighed. “Kay, I’m not forcing you to stay with him. I know how stubborn you are. When you were a child, you ruined a rabbit plushie you loved dearly.

She thought this no longer mattered to her after experiencing death herself, but she couldn’t tell Eduard about

this.

Thus, she promised him that she would think it over.

after that.

Propping her head against the car window, she allowed her mind to wander. Celeste’s call snapped her

back to her senses as Celeste inquired about the updates on her divorce. She burst into a fit of laughter

when she found out that Mikayla had failed to divorce Jerome. “Look, I told you! Jerome wouldn’t make it

easy for you to divorce him!”

Mikayla rolled her eyes. “In fact, it has nothing to do with him. He kept his promise by signing the divorce agreement, but something happened.” She told Celeste about how Matilda found out about the divorce

agreement.

“That’s too much of a coincidence. Why were Stephen and Matilda there when you went to retrieve the agreement?”
