Female Novel
Chapter 1768
Ian was asking about her family matters, and he was hinting at a visit sooner or later.
Cindy didn’t want to talk about her family, but since Ian had asked, she didn’t think it’d be great to hideit, so she said, “I have my mom and brother at home. My brother’s still in school, and he needs me topay for it, but he should be done in a couple of years or so.”
Ian was surprised she didn’t bring her father up, but he could guess why, so he kept quiet about it.
After a short moment of silence, she smiled. “Let’s not talk about this. I don’t really want to talk aboutmy family. It’s not something great, really. I don’t like to talk about it.”
I guess everyone has their own battles, huh? Ian could understand her, and he grunted. “I won’t bring itup again. As long as we’re fine, then everything is fine.”
Sean called Ian the next morning, telling him that Bryce was not looking good. He also asked if Ianwanted to come to the hospital. Bryce was feeling unwell because of what happened the day before.Ian saw no point in going, since it would be a quiet visit, and he wouldn’t even be cheering Bryce up,making it even more pointless. Ian said he didn’t want to go, and he asked Sean if Bryce was fine.
Sean sighed. “He would have been, but what happened yesterday got on his nerves, and he’s furious.Now, he’s looking off.”
Ian paused for a moment. “It’s been years. He should know the kind of people they are by this point, sowhy did he even get angry?”
Sean shrugged. “That’s what I told him, but it was useless. The thing has gotten out of hand, and noweveryone knows. He’s embarrassed about it.”
Ian felt like laughing. Bryce used to break a lot of traditions and law when he was younger, and most ofthem were far more egregious than what Leah did. He didn’t care about his reputation back then, butnow he thinks he can salvage it? Too late. I guess that’s just how humans are. They keep excusingtheir own wrongdoings, but they will punish everyone else for doing the same things they did. In someways, Bryce and Leah made a great couple. novelbin
Sean didn’t force Ian to come, but before he hung up, Ian asked, “I heard he talked to his lawyer againyesterday.”
Sean told him honestly, “Yes, but not about the will. It’s about the divorce this time.”
Ian chuckled this time, for he couldn’t hold it back. “Wow, he really is angry.” Not that he can save hisreputation through a divorce at this point. There’s no way a plot twist can pop up this late in the game.
“That is true,” Sean answered. “Their relationship has been rocky for a while now, but they remainedmarried so they wouldn’t have to deal with the fallout. Now that this mess has happened, Bryce startedthinking about divorce again.”
Ian clicked his tongue. “I don’t think a divorce can help him at this point, so why is he doing that?”
Sean wasn’t interested in playing counselor for his father. Bryce could marry and divorce as much ashe liked, and Sean wouldn’t even care. He never did interfere with his father’s business, nor was heplanning to start anytime soon. It’s his life. He can do whatever he wants with it. The past was in thepast, and Sean had let his old grudges go, but he wouldn’t help Bryce. His life was his own and nobody
else’s.
Sean hung up a short while later. Ian put his phone down, stretched his arm, and went to the balcony.His curiosity was piqued, and he looked down, but there wasn’t anyone there.
What was I thinking anyway? She didn’t get anything she wanted yesterday. There’s no reason for herto come and humiliate herself again today. Sally might have been spoiled by her mother, but she wassmarter than her brother, and she knew when to cut her losses.
