The Divorce That Brought Us Back novel Chapter 340

The more he spoke, the more self-righteous he felt.

"Maddie's health is fragile, and I'm the one who's been guarding her incubator all day. The doctors and nurses are all calling me the perfect father."

"I know you spent the whole day negotiating with the family and haven't even gone to see her yet. I deliberately waited until everyone left so I could come get you and take you to see her."

"And instead, you throw this garbage in my face? You're her mother! Don't you care about her at all? Wow. Is your work really more important to you than your own daughter?!"

Cassidy stared at him, completely unfazed.

Men were truly something else.

He was treating the bare minimum of his paternal duties as if it were some colossal heroic achievement.

And the moment he found a tiny flaw to pick at, he wouldn't shut up about it.

Cassidy offered a faint smile, her tone gentle. "Just listen to me first."

Over the past few months, she had finally mastered the art of managing Parker.

He responded to honey, not vinegar.

The trick wasn't to argue with him. It was to praise him, agree with him, and stroke his ego until she got exactly what she wanted.

"Parker, you are a wonderful father. Knowing you're the one watching over Maddie gives me total peace of mind."

Her voice was soft, laced with an artificially constructed patience. "I'm not asking for a divorce because of you. I'm doing it for you."

Seeing his eyes widen in defensive protest, she quickly added, "Let me finish."

"Lately, haven't you been enjoying life a lot more than when we were actually together?"

"You go wherever you want, come home whenever you want, and drink with whoever you want. No one is nagging you or trying to tie you down. Doesn't that freedom feel amazing?"

"You could have even more of it."

"Parker, I know you haven't actually crossed the line and betrayed me. I believe you're a man with principles."

That was an outright lie.
