Out of Ashes Into His Heart novel Chapter 46

Good gracious! This was the ultimate battleground!

"Who said we're divorced?" Gavin gritted his teeth and hissed.

Tom raised an eyebrow, nodding toward Mandy standing nearby. "Isn't your current partner right here? Why are you still pretending otherwise?"

"Tom, don't talk nonsense!" Gavin roughly pulled his arm away from Mandy and struggled to control his fury. "Grace is my wife! I have nothing to do with Mandy!"

"Nothing to do with her?" Tom chuckled coldly. "Do you believe that yourself?"

"You—"

"Since you're divorced, stay out of Grace's affairs." Tom interrupted him, taking my hand. With a casual smile, he added, "Do you know what a proper ex-husband is supposed to act like?"

He paused for a moment, his lips curling slightly. "They should act as though they're dead."

"We're not—" Before Gavin could finish his sentence, Mandy suddenly grabbed his arm, speaking in her usual bold tone, "Enough, Gavin. Everyone's watching. Don't make a scene."

She forcefully pulled him to a quieter corner while scolding him, "Don't embarrass yourself in a place like this. Tom is a shameless playboy; you still have to maintain the reputation of the Gould family!"

As she dragged him away, a cold smile appeared on my lips.

Mandy looked like his rightful wife to outsiders, but she was nothing more than the mistress.

"So, how was that move?"

As I was fuming with indignation, Tom curved his lips into a smirk and looked at me. "After today's commotion, the whole of Fuvine knows Gavin is divorced."

I instinctively looked up at him, realizing his true purpose for bringing me to Harvest Pavilion.

Gavin didn't want a divorce, did he?
