Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 42

Chapter 42 An Unforgivable Sin

This would be my promise to live on and embrace a new version of myself.

Ivanna saw my determination and shook her head. She advised, “Have something to eat.”

I nodded, and she strode out to prepare some food. Meanwhile, I gathered my emotions and fixed my appearance before leaving the room. After the meal, I told Ivanna, “I’m going to pick up my daughter.”

“Are you sure? Why don’t you stay with me for a few days and calm down before doing that?”

I knew she was worried, so I looked at her and said firmly, “I won’t give up so easily. I’ll take back

everything that belongs to me!”

“Then how will you explain not leaving to see your parents?” Ivanna was still worried.

I remained calm and replied, “I have an explanation.”

Immediately after, I changed into my own clothes, picked up my bag, and checked my phone. Before leaving. I instructed Ivanna, “Please get that coat cleaned for me.”

“I’ll send you there.” Ivanna grabbed her bag, put on her shoes, and took the coat. On the way, she asked

me about my next steps

I shook my head and said, I haven’t decided yet, but I won’t spare them.”

As I unlocked my phone, a flood of notifications greeted me. I called my mother back and learned that my father’s condition had improved. I could hear the joy in my mother’s voice, and I sighed in relief.

Finally, luck was on my side.

I told my mother I would return after the hurricane and then hung up to recheck my phone, I saw several missed calls from Matthew but didn’t dare to return his call. Instead, I called my mother–in–law.

I informed her I hadn’t left, so she didn’t have to pick Ava up today.

Everything seemed normal when I reached home with Ava. Matthew saw us, and his face lit up. “Honey, Ava, you’re home! I made some food for you two. Wash your hands. Dinner’s almost ready.”

It was apparent he knew I didn’t’leave yesterday. He approached and took the things from my hands. Afterward, he said, “I got home late after last night’s gathering, and my phone died. After charging it, I

forgot to turn it back on, so I missed your call.
