Divorce Anxiety

Chapter 434 That Little Girl Is Me

Kathleen drove Gemma’s car and brought her home.

Gemma had moved in with Richard after they got together.

Yet, she did not want to go back there at the moment.

If she went to Benjamin’s place, it would be troublesome for her to explain the situation to him.

Therefore, Kathleen took her to the Johnson residence, which the former previously bought.

It had everything, so it would be convenient for them to stay there.

Kathleen led Gemma to the bedroom and asked the latter to lie on the bed.

“I’ll get you a glass of water,” Kathleen said.

Gemma grabbed her hand, stopping Kathleen from leaving the room. “I’m not thirsty, Kate.”

Since Gemma had calmed down, she felt like talking to Kathleen. “Talk with me,” Gemma continued.

“Okay.” Kathleen sat down.

Gemma slowly let go of Kathleen’s hand and stared at the ceiling. “That woman’s name is Miley Chapman. She’s the daughter of Richard’s professor, who died during an international aid. That professor saved Richard when he died, so Richard has been responsible for taking care of Miley since then.”

Kathleen asked coldly, “Did you not know about that all these years?”

“No, I didn’t know. He hid it perfectly. Besides, Miley had always been abroad and never come back.”

Kathleen nodded, encouraging Gemma to go on.

“We drank too much yesterday, so I told Richard that I wanted to break up if he didn’t want to get married.” Gemma pursed her lips. “Kate, I don’t want an intense, dramatic relationship. I just want it to be simple and last long. I want to get married, have kids, and live a peaceful life.”

Kathleen held Gemma’s hand. “Gem, I know. This is understandable. Everyone makes their own choices. You want to get married, but he doesn’t want to. You can break up with him and find another man.”

“Yes. That’s what I thought too.” Tears rolled down Gemma’s cheeks. “But Richard said that he wanted to marry me and that he loved me very much. It’s just that he wants to wait another year. I love him so much that I agreed to his request.”

Kathleen did not criticize Gemma because that was how people were when they were in love.

Everyone, including Kathleen, used to be a fool when they were in love.
