Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 106

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.

“It already happened to me, and I even raised that bitch’s child.” I was shocked to hear that.

Although I had been married to Matthew for many years, I knew little about his family.

Therefore, I was curious when Henry mentioned Matthew and Melanie weren’t blood relatives.

“Yes, Henry was just like Matthew when he was young.

My husband even kept that woman in the house,” Grace said through gritted teeth.

“In the house?” I didn’t understand what she meant.

“She was Henry’s distant cousin.

That shameless bitch claimed to be looking for a job in the city and wanted to stay at our house for a while.

At that time, Henry and I just got married.” Grace looked distressed.

E “You remember the old house, right? They hooked up under my nose, but I was already pregnant then.

It was scandalous to get a divorce back then.
