CHAPTER 21: Isn't that right, Hubby?

Axel Zhu. The third and youngest in the Zhu siblings. Considering his spot in the family, Axel was truly a spoiled little master growing up. Unlike his older siblings, Axel had a lot more free time exploring things.

He was a carefree man, pursuing a career his parents couldn't help but frown about. Despite Axel's bold and wild personality, he was surprisingly closed with his siblings. He was especially close with Dominic, looking up at him as if he was his role model.

With that on the table, the current Heaven already guessed her relationship with her brother-in-law. She didn't even need to go through her memories thoroughly. All she had to do was take a glimpse and already knew how bad it was.

Heaven's unforgettable memory of this man was when he offered to drive her somewhere. Heaven obviously refused, but somehow, at that time, Axel's offer was the most convenient of all. Therefore, she agreed in the end.

What happened next traumatized the original Heaven.

Axe drove as fast as he could on the freeway, ignoring Heaven's pleading to slow down. She nearly even had a panic attack, but Axel simply gazed at her coldly. Since then, Axel would take any opportunity he could to sabotage her.

'Well, I can't blame him. I would even do worse if I was in his shoes.' Heaven mentally massaged her temple while pretending to eat her food with her husband and brother-in-law. 'Obviously, Heaven didn't know that. All she cared about was how this guy secretly bullied her without even considering Axel was simply making her taste her own medicine.'

Axel pretty much found out about Heaven and Dominic's setup. He also knew how she was as a mother and a wife. Someone like him wouldn't stay quiet, but he did for Dominic. Still, he couldn't stomach it. Thus, his only way to express his dismay was to treat Heaven the same awful way she was treating her husband and son.

"Congratulations." Axel broke the silence, snapping his eyes at the person across from him. Dominic sat across from him and then Heaven beside him. "Did you tell Grandma about the divorce? She'll probably disapprove of it, but she'll eventually accept it."

"Who told you about that?" asked Dominic, making Heaven slightly raise a brow.

'He didn't tell him?' she wondered, assuming Dominic and Axel were close enough to tell each other's secret.

"The CEO of the LYON Group of Companies is going to have a divorce. Anyone would know about it." Axel shrugged. "I also heard Basti is staying with Mom and Dad temporarily. So, anyone can put two and two together."

Axel leaned back with his hands on the edge of the table. "For sure, that was the reason Grandma fainted. It's good that the news reached me before Mom and Dad. Or else I'm certain they will do everything to stop this divorce."

He slowly veered his eyes to Heaven. The indifference in his eyes was distinct, not even trying to conceal that contempt in them.

"Wherever you heard that news, you should stop listening to that person. Heaven and I are not divorcing."

SLAM!

"What?" Hearing Dominic's monotone reply forced Axel to jump out of his seat. "You're not filing a divorce?"

Dominic frowned, glancing at the man standing across from him. "Are you that happy that our family is breaking apart?"

"Brother, what the?" Axel scoffed, almost rendered speechless. He then pointed at Heaven, making the latter jolt slightly. "That woman... is just — you deserved better, bro!"

"Axel."

"This woman hadn't been a wife to you, let alone a mother to my nephew! She did nothing but cause trouble — she is the reason this family is falling apart! She's hopeless, brother. I'm not happy about divorce but with this situation? It's good news! I will throw a party to celebrate this good news."
