Love Me Or Leave Me

CHAPTER 32

“Ignore them. Let’s go see the babies,” Charlie said, grabbing Rebecca’s hand with a smile.

Rebecca turned to look at Charlie.

But Charlie was already pulling her away.

Debra was sitting with the two babies in the Carter family’s van. When Rebecca arrived, a big smile spread across

Debra’s face.

Seeing her own babies, Rebecca began to calm down. She stepped inside.

“Mom, how are Lily and Kev? Were they fussy this morning?” Rebecca asked.

“They were quiet, eating and sleeping like little piglets, just as cute as you were at their age,” Debra replied with a

chuckle.

Rebecca smiled and leaned down to kiss the babies.

She reached out to pick up one of the children to nurse them, but Debra quickly stopped her, speaking softly. “They were just fed. It’s their nap time now. You should take a break, too. You still have filming to do this afternoon.‘ Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Debra couldn’t stand to see her daughter overworked.

Looking at the children, Rebecca felt a twinge of concern. “But the babies…”

“There’s no need to worry about them. The breast milk was pumped in advance. It’s still fresh. Besides, drinking it now is perfectly fine,” Debra reassured her.

Thinking it over, Rebecca nodded. “Alright.”

“Go back to the house and get some sleep,” Debra urged.

Rebecca had no choice but to agree, “Okay.”

Having just finished her confinement, her body was still weak. The morning’s hustle had left her exhausted. Most importantly, she needed to ensure she had enough energy to handle the afternoon’s filming.

But just as she stepped out of the van and turned around, she unexpectedly ran into Theodore.

Rebecca lowered her head slightly, trying to pretend she hadn’t seen him, and walked straight toward the house. However, Theodore suddenly walked toward her.

At this moment, Charlie came down, conveniently stepping after Rebecca, blocking Theodore’s path.

Rebecca’s heart instantly tightened with worry. She turned back to look at them, feeling anxious.

Charlie and Theodore stared each other down, their gazes sharp as knives.

“Rebecca is my wife,” Theodore said coldly.

Nearby, a staff who had yet to leave overheard this juicy tidbit and involuntarily stopped in his tracks, stunned.

‘Mr. Edwards is married? Isn’t he rumored to be Janet’s boyfriend?

*Rumor has it they even have a child together and are just waiting to get married. But now, Mr. Edwards is saying

Rebecca is his wife?

“Who is Rebecca? Wasn’t he trying to stop Becky to talk to her just now? Could Becky actually be Mr. Edwards‘ real

wife, Rebecca?”

The staff thought, quickly realizing he shouldn’t be eavesdropping on this, and hurried away.

He walked briskly, but as he reached the gate, he unexpectedly ran into Janet.

Janet walked over and asked, “What are they talking about over there?”

The staff remained silent.

Janet pulled out her purse. She took out four thousand dollars and said, “Tell me.”

In this industry, everyone had some sense. The staff, Jared, quickly accepted it.

Jared was thrilled with this windfall and eagerly recounted what had happened in the courtyard. After finishing, he quickly assured her, “Janet, don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone about this.”

Janet’s face lost its usual on–camera gentleness, replaced by a cold expression. “If this gets out, you can forget about working in this industry.”

Jared nodded hastily. “Don’t worry, Janet. I won’t tell a soul.”

This commotion soon drew the attention of the three people in the courtyard. Theodore, Charlie, and Rebecca all turned to look toward the gate.

Jared quickly lowered his head and scurried away.

Janet walked into the courtyard.

Rebecca quickly turned her gaze away and headed toward the house.

Theodore was anxious. He immediately stepped forward, reaching out to grab Rebecca.

Charlie instantly blocked Theodore and, raising his hand, landed a fierce punch on Theodore’s face.

Theodore was enraged by the blow. He raised his fist and swung at Charlie.

Hearing the commotion behind her, Rebecca turned around and saw Theodore about to hit Charlie.

Panicked, Rebecca ran back and shoved Theodore forcefully. “Theodore! That’s enough!”

By now, Janet had entered and was standing quietly on the side.

Using all her strength, Rebecca’s shove sent Theodore stumbling back several steps.

Theodore’s eyes widened in shock as he stared at her. “Rebecca, you pushed me for him?”

‘Was Charlie already that important to her?” he thought.

“This is between us. It has nothing to do with him,” Rebecca said; panting, her voice icy.

“Theodore, we’re getting a divorce, aren’t we? So there’s no need to drag this out any longer,” she added. As she said this, she felt the old exhaustion wash over her. Life with Theodore had always been suffocating.

Hearing this, Theodore’s eyes reddened. He quickly stepped forward, grabbing Rebecca by the collar and lifting her up, his eyes bloodshot with rage. “Rebecca, you humiliated me so thoroughly, and now you want a divorce? Dream on!”

He snarled through gritted teeth, his intense gaze making it seem like Rebecca had committed an unforgivable sin.

“It’s not what you think between me and him!” Rebecca couldn’t hold back any longer and shouted, her tears falling uncontrollably.

The more she had once loved this man, the more she hated him now. Why couldn’t Theodore ever listen to her in the past and now? He never listened to her explanations but readily believed everything Janet said.

The entire courtyard fell silent after her outburst.

After what felt like an eternity, Theodore spoke coldly. “Don’t ever think you’ll get a divorce.”

“Bang!” Charlie landed a hard punch on Theodore

The next moment, Theodore lunged at Charlie, and the two began to brawl.

Rebecca panicked. She looked around, searching for something to help. Suddenly, Rebecca spotted a stick in th corner. Hastily, she picked it up, intending to intervene when she saw Theodore about to attack Charlie.

However, before Rebecca could swing the stick, Janet rushed up from the side and grabbed her, pushing her aside.

Now infuriated, Rebecca turned and slapped Janet hard.

The commotion in the courtyard grew louder, and people outside finally noticed it, rushing towards the scene.

Debra set the children down on the van. Puzzled, she got off it and hurried toward the courtyard, an inexplicable sense of unease washing over her.
