Beyond the Divorce

Chapter 106 Setting a Bad Example Although I was no longer fond of the Murphys, Grace hadn’t mistreated me for the past few years, I could also forgive her for giving me the cold shoulder that day because she only tried to protect her interests.

She asked me to return to their house, but I declined because that place traumatized me.

Instead, I chose to meet her at a cafe near her house.

I softened my attitude when I saw her.

After all, I couldn’t be mean to an older woman.

Grace looked worn out and conflicted when she saw me.

I understood her feelings and ordered her some hot milk, I waited for her to speak, and her lips twitched as she asked, “How’s Ava?” Immediately after, she burst into tears.

I had to admit she doted on my daughter.

“She’s okay but not as perky as before,” I spoke blandly despite myself.

I noticed her sad expression and added, “You’re welcome to visit her anytime.” My words encouraged Grace, and she held my hand, “Can you reconsider the divorce?” I wanted to pull away but refrained.

I somehow felt uneasy about displays of goodwill or physical contact from the Murphys.

After some thought, I asked, “What do you think? If you were in my shoes, could you share your husband with another woman?” She grimaced and gently let go of my hand.
