Sign the Papers Mr. Langford novel Chapter 64

Then there were the public news articles, the banquet photos, the Langford Medical appointments, the fact that Willow had moved into the Langford Estate, and the records of her being mistakenly referred to as Mrs. Langford without any correction.

These things might not be enough for a definitive legal ruling.

But they were more than enough to prove that this marriage had rotted to the core.

"Let's secure the evidence first," Wren said. "Claim everything we can. And keep what we can't on file just in case."

Mr. Clarke nodded. "Understood."

He then asked, "What is your current stance on custody?"

Wren looked at the birth certificate on the desk.

She remembered the day Leo was born all too clearly.

A C-section, premature birth, the incubator.

She had been in so much pain she could barely sit up, yet she still begged the nurses to wheel her over to see her baby.

Lawrence had been standing at the end of the hallway taking a call.

The hospital's fluorescent lights had been blindingly cold.

She looked at tiny Leo through the glass and cried uncontrollably.

Lawrence hung up and walked over, only saying, "The kid will be fine."

He didn't hold her.

He didn't ask if she was in pain.

He didn't even tell her she had done a good job.

But back then, Wren still believed that as long as their child was safe, things between them would slowly get better.

She was always like that.

Pinning her hopes on "someday."

Someday he would understand.

Someday their house would feel like a home.

Someday, when their child grew up, she wouldn't be so lonely anymore.

But now she finally realized that if someone refused to ever look back, giving them a million "somedays" was completely useless.

"I don't want to fight a brutal battle for custody right off the bat," Wren's voice was slightly hoarse. "But I want steady visitation rights, the right to spend winter and summer vacations with him, and a reserved clause to reapply for full custody later."

Mr. Clarke gave her a look.

"Are you sure? Given your track record as his primary caregiver, if you fought for him now, you'd actually have a decent shot."

Wren fell silent for a moment.
