Chapter 48
“You clearly want to divorce Gavin so badly, yet you’re still hanging on to him. I think you don’t actually want to get a divorce!” Mandy said.
Isnerred. “What Ichoose to do is none of your business. And by the way, you seem to have misunderstood something.”

I paused for a moment, speaking clearly, “It’s Gain who keeps bothering me. If you’re really capable, why don’t you make sure he never shows up in front of me again?!
“Fine.” Mandy nodded repeatedly. “You’d better keep your word. Don’t worry I won’t let Gavin come alter you anymore. I’ll definitely make sure he agrees to the divorce.”

1watched her retreating figure, feeling like the world had become a bizarre dream
How could someone like her even exist?
I let out a deep breath
While what she said was infuriating, there was one thing she said that actually felt beneficial
She promised not to let Gavin come after me and that she wild ensure he agreed to the divorce.
I hoped she would actually follow through
After returning from the bathroom, I went back to the banquet hall.
Tom was still standing in the same spot, but now only Greg was beside him. Everyone else had dispersed.

I looked at Tom in surprise. I didn’t expect him to know I liked this.
Tom glared at Greg before tearing open the packaging and handing me a small fork. “Here. Try it.”
“Thank you”

The sweet and tart flavor of the cherry mixed with the rich cream exploded in my taste buds. I couldn’t help but smile, my eyes curving with delight. “Mm! It’s delicious.”
But when I looked up at Tom, Hound him staring at me, lost in thought
I was puzzled.
