Her Heart Her Terms (Lily and Xavier) novel Chapter 382

Chapter 382 

“Lih, could he be dragging out the divorce because he’s tallen for you? As soon as the video call connected, Maryanne blurted out her usual nonsense 

Lily was speechless. “You’re own better at daydreaming than me“. 

Maryanne hutted twice, got eft the bed, and closed her door Speaking in a low voice, she said, “You’re not mad at me, right? I left so abruptly. My mom said it’s your family’s issue and that I represent the Devereux family in this situation. 

1 acted impulsively, our families could have strained relations. But please don’t be upset with my mom either–after all, Xander represents the Fulton family… 

Lily listened to her rambling quiet. 

She wasn’t angry, but her heart grew increasingly heavy as she listened. Who did she represent? And who would stand up for her? Who could help her with this seemingly endless divorce? 

“Why are you crying?” Maryanne noticed her tears and immediately got teary–eyed herself. “Did Xavier 

the Hound do something to you again, or are you mad at me? 

The tears streamed down Lih’s face so quickly that she didn’t even realize it. Before she knew it, they had already allen. 

Wiping her cheek with her hand, she shook her head. “I’m not mad. I just think it’s silly how seriously you’re explaining everything to me.” 

Relieved, Maryanne said, “You’re the silly one. You’re still legally married, but why do you stay silent when everyone calls Sarah ‘Mrs Fulton? You should throw your marriage certificate in their faces and make them choke on it!” 

12y could fight back and wasn’t incapable of it. However, standing up for herself required confidence and leverage, especially when dealing with someone as unreasonable as 

“It’s fine What’s done is done. As for the divorce… I guess there’ll be another chance someday.” 

She wasn’t sure if she was saying that to Maryanne or to comfort herself. 

Maryanne added, “My mom feels bad about what happened. She just said that she plans to visit the Fulton family soon. 

“She wants to make it clear–either you work things out, or you divorce, Why keep dragging it on like this?” 

If Maria went, it would be to speak with Edith. Although Edith was an elder, she was kind and approachable, someone one could reason with, unlike Tamara, who was hard to reach, always bury with work, and uninterested in gossip 

*Please let Mrs. Devereux Senior know I’m not upset. I understand the importance of family relations and can keep things in perspective.” 

Lily felt genuinely apologetic. Xavier’s appearance had ruined a perfectly good gathering. Now, the Devereux family was even offering her an apology, something she didn’t feel she deserved. 

After chatting a little longer, she ended the call and returned to her studies, but she found herself unable to focos, her thoughts drifting uncontrollably… 

Marika couldn’t wait to visit the Fulton family in person. Unable to hold back, she called Edith directly and told her about the situation between Xavier and Lily 

Edith was so infuriated her eyes rolled back, and she almost fainted. She immediately called Xavier, demanding he come home.
