Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48 Finding the Right Time I remained still.

His behavior puzzled me, but I knew they were crocodile tears.

Eventually, he stood and said.

“Wait here, I’ll make you something to eat.” He would not show me his face.

I didn’t care about his thoughts.

Even if he showed such emotions occasionally, my image of him would not change.

I couldn’t lower myself to the level of a brute.

I knew quick action was my best defense.

I couldn’t let him succeed.

He returned to normal at breakfast, warm and smiling.

“Honey, come here.

Eat while it’s hot! Start with the milk!” He was attentive to me during breakfast, and everything seemed to have returned to normal.

His actions left me feeling a little dazed.

“How about a day off today? You’ve lost a lot of weight recently.

I could tell when I held you last night,” he said tenderly.

“Let’s send some money to them today.

I’m afraid they might not have enough,” I suggested.

I His hand froze for a second, and then he smiled.

“Sure, I’ll handle it!” At the office, I called my mom and told her to accept any money Matthew might send her without hesitation As expected, my mom said, “There’s no need for that.

Your dad and I have enough.

The company has many expenses, so you guys don’t need to spend too much on us.

“Mom, think of it from my perspective, okay? Can’t you just accept our money and keep it for yourselves? Our duty is to support you, and you shouldn’t refuse.

If he offers, accept it” I was a bit frustrated.
