" Abel had always been a chatterbox : there was hardly a moment when he was quiet . How weird . Yakira couldn't help but be anxious and touched Daron's forehead . She was slightly relieved after knowing he didn't have a fever . Seeing this , Minnie quickly said , " Mommy , Abel's still mad at me . " " What happened ? You upset him again ? " Yakira asked . Puffing out her chubby cheeks , Minnie said , pouting , " He's still mad at me for getting lost yesterday . He's so petty . " Yakira realized what was going on and relaxed . She smiled softly , " Minnie , he's just worried about you . We don't wanna see you being taken away by bad guys . " Minnie didn't say anything in response . Then Yakira looked at Daron and said softly , " Abel , it's over now . Let's move on , OK ? I'm sure it won't happen again . " Daron nodded . He thought , " Mommy is so gentle . " " Mommy ...

" By the way , kiddos , I've got good news - your grandma's coming over tomorrow . " 05:46 Chapter 9 We're Still Married " Really ? " Minnie asked excitedly Yakira nodded . " Yes .

Then Yakira went to the kitchen to cook . Just then , someone knocked on the door . She walked out , puzzled . Who could it be ? Wiping her hands with the apron , she walked over and opened the door . In the next second , her heart skipped a beat . " Brayden ? What are you doing here ? " Her reaction somehow upset Brayden . " Are you surprised ? " " Of course , I am . What do you want ? " She tried her best to appear calm . Not answering her question , he said , " Aren't you gonna invite me in ? " " Not exactly , " she blurted out . She had no intention of letting Brayden know about Minnie and Abel . Brayden already had a kid with Patricia . Besides , he wouldn't give a damn about her kids . 05:46 Why bother telling him ? Besides , she didn't want Minnie and Abel to know they had a daddy who didn't love them Brayden's gaze turned icy as he repeated her words , " Not exactly ? " She looked away , not daring to meet his gaze Meanwhile , he pressed on , saying , " Why , Yakira ? Is there a man inside ? " She fumed , " Brayden , watch your words . " " Yakira , in case you forget , we're still married . You're still my wife . " Brayden grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her closer to him She instinctively wanted to push him away . As her hands rested on his chest , she felt his strong heartbeat clearly Instantly , her heart started racing uncontrollably She even doubted if it'd leap out of her throat in the next second . " Mr. Blanchard , we're divorced . You have the divorce agreement already . " She tried hard to break free but to no avail . " Oh , but I didn't sign it . It didn't mean anything " He took out the divorce agreement she had left and stuffed it into her hand . As her gaze fell upon the papers , she knew he was telling the truth - he hadn't signed it . Why ? She was still puzzled at his words at Midvale Village . It never occurred to her that he had never signed it . Trying her best to look calm , she asked coldly , " Mr. Blanchard , are you unsatisfied with certain terms in the agreement? " She didn't believe he refused to sign because he didn't want a divorce Besides , he already had a kid with Patricia 05 46 289 ( Vouchers Brayden said through gritted teeth . " I'm impotent ? " Yakira blushed at once . She said , trying to keep her voice steady . " Am I wrong ? We did it only once a month . During their three years of marriage , Brayden would fulfill his marital duties , but the most he did was stay at home for a day each month under pressure from Kaitlynn Holloway , his mother " I take it that I didn't satisfy you in bed then " Brayden pressed closer . Yakira stepped back , trying to distance herself from him . " If you don't like that reason , I can change it . All she wanted was for him to leave as soon as possible . If Minnie and Abel came out now , things would get really tricky . " Mommy ? Who are you talking with ? " Her heart sank Minnie , who had heard their voices , opened the door curiously . Yakira froze . Minnie walked out of the room and was stunned at the sight of Brayden . She thought , " Daddy's here . " Being ignored by him yesterday made her both mad and sad . Meanwhile , Brayden's eyes landed on her . He found her rather cute , and she looked a lot like Yakira Yakira stood in front of him , blocking his view . " Mr. Blanchard , I'll draft a new divorce agreement for you . " " She's the reason you won't let me in , Yakira ? " he demanded . Yakira fell silent . Brayden clenched his fists . 05.46 Chapter 9 We're Still Marred Just then , his phone rang , cutting through the eerie silence . He took it out , and Yakira spotted the caller ID at once .
