This time, Christopher Moore had no reaction, as calm as if he were not the one who had just been hit.
Gently wiping the thin trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth, there wasn't a trace of resentment or anger on his face, he merely said:
"I'll have the lawyer draw up the divorce agreement for you."
Without another word, Christopher turned and walked away, his tall figure now seemingly hunched and forlorn, a clear sign that Lily Jones had indeed hurt him deeply.
At the same time, his willingness to propose divorce probably meant he had lost all hope in Lily.
It was only then that Lily really began to panic, but she did not chase after him. Instead, she stood her ground, furiously shouting at Christopher's retreating figure:
"Christopher Moore, stop right there! You heartless man, I've risked my life to bear you a son, and this is how you treat me, stop right there!"
She stomped her feet in place, seething with even deeper resentment.
