Chapter 316 - 315: The Decision (9)
At that moment, her heart was in chaos; she couldn’t make sense of anything, let alone answer questions about her divorce. She knew her behavior was wrong, but could anyone truly maintain their rationality at all times?
If only her elder sister had returned sooner, if only she hadn’t gotten pregnant, and if only Ji Xinxin hadn’t spoken those words to her, perhaps she wouldn’t be feeling so tormented now, so chaotic. Just as she had originally planned, she would have divorced Shi Che as soon as her elder sister returned.
But now, whenever she thought of the word "divorce," her heart felt as if it contained some inexplicable objects, disturbing her peace.
Ling Chuxia held her phone, staring at the incoming call as if it were a ferocious tiger and hastily covered the phone with her blanket. She didn’t want to answer her elder sister’s call.
She was afraid she wouldn’t know how to respond to her elder sister’s questions and feared that upon hearing her elder sister’s voice, she would be overwhelmed with guilt and discomfort.
The phone rang for a while before it hung up automatically; the room slowly quieted down, but Ling Chuxia felt an eerie, heart-racing silence.
She stared at the phone. Guilt and panic began bubbling up unceasingly from the depths of her heart and spread to every limb.
Her elder sister had just returned, was all alone, staying in a hotel outside, and Ling Chuxia was her only younger sister. She might have called for something important. How could she ignore her elder sister’s call because of her selfish reasons?
With that thought, a trace of self-reproach flashed through Ling Chuxia’s eyes. Biting her lower lip, she swiftly grabbed the phone, slid her finger, and called Ling Yunshu back.
