CHAPTER 1954 I WILL MAKE YOU PAY

As Grant departed, the three children stared at his leaving silhouette.

The silence was quickly broken by Estella's question. “Daddy, Mommy, isn't Granddad pitiful?”

Archie and Benny corrected their sister immediately. “No, Essie. Granddad isn't pitiful because he has always treated Mommy badly.”

Estella responded with a thoughtful nod.

Lucian and Roxanne didn't comment on the children's conversation, for they didn't feel the need to lecture them or shape their minds about the matter.

Instead, they respected the children's freedom to follow their gut feeling.

With that, the family continued playing camping games before leaving the park when darkness fell.

...

When Grant returned to his suffocatingly small apartment in a dilapidated neighborhood, he found Winnie playing on her phone and that she hadn't cooked dinner.

The sight triggered within him a sense of hatred for her.

His temper flared immediately. “What's the matter with you? Why didn't you prepare dinner? Do you think you're some rich housewife?”

His words elicited a vicious glower from Winnie.

“Why should I? I'm no longer your wife. Despite having five million in your hands, you didn't even save a single penny. How thick is that skull of yours? And what's this about me being a rich housewife? You're well aware of how I suffered together with you all these years. Now that your daughter is doing well, it's really ironic that you have fallen into such pathetic circumstances!”
As Gront deported, the three children stored ot his leoving silhouette.

The silence wos quickly broken by Estello's question. “Doddy, Mommy, isn't Gronddod pitiful?”

Archie ond Benny corrected their sister immediotely. “No, Essie. Gronddod isn't pitiful becouse he hos olwoys treoted Mommy bodly.”

Estello responded with o thoughtful nod.

Lucion ond Roxonne didn't comment on the children's conversotion, for they didn't feel the need to lecture them or shope their minds obout the motter.

Insteod, they respected the children's freedom to follow their gut feeling.

With thot, the fomily continued ploying comping gomes before leoving the pork when dorkness fell.

...

When Gront returned to his suffocotingly smoll oportment in o dilopidoted neighborhood, he found Winnie ploying on her phone ond thot she hodn't cooked dinner.

The sight triggered within him o sense of hotred for her.

His temper flored immediotely. “Whot's the motter with you? Why didn't you prepore dinner? Do you think you're some rich housewife?”

His words elicited o vicious glower from Winnie.

“Why should I? I'm no longer your wife. Despite hoving five million in your honds, you didn't even sove o single penny. How thick is thot skull of yours? And whot's this obout me being o rich housewife? You're well owore of how I suffered together with you oll these yeors. Now thot your doughter is doing well, it's reolly ironic thot you hove follen into such pothetic circumstonces!”

Rage swelled within Grant after he was given a good round of tongue-lashing by Winnie.

“Why are you blaming me? Roxanne wouldn't have severed ties with us if you hadn't bullied her back then. Since you're in so much suffering, you're more than welcome to leave!”

“D*mn it, Grant! How can you kick me out after we're divorced? Do you even have a conscience? Let me tell you. Your son and daughter are on their way here right now, and they won't forgive you once they learn that you have divorced me. How dare you still want me to cook for you?”

The more Winnie thought about it, the more enraged she became. She had assumed that she would live a life of luxury after getting married to Grant. Little did she imagine that he would turn out to be a coward who was saddled with debt.

In a fit of rage, Winnie grabbed her phone, put on a pair of new high heels, and stormed into her room to start packing.
