When Fate Intervenes (Giselle and Anthony) novel Chapter 20

Giselle slept in until it was noon due to her hangover.

Zoey had already left for work. After having a simple lunch, Giselle took her bag and headed out since she was feeling bored. She decided to carry out some of the plans she had settled on a few days ago.

Giselle got a fruit basket from the fruit shop downstairs. Then, she took a cab to the law firm to meet Ian.

For the past two months, Ian had done a lot to help with her divorce procedure. He also carried out his duties faithfully and protected Giselle's personal information well.

As the middleman, Ian had helped pass on many messages between the couple. He probably had often advised Anthony as well, which contributed to Giselle getting a divorce successfully.

Many of the things Ian had helped Giselle with were not required of him as her lawyer. Therefore, Giselle felt like she had troubled Ian a lot. She decided to pay him a visit and thank him since she felt a bit bad about it.

Ian seemed to find it a pity after learning the couple had gotten their divorce certificate.

"Mrs. Grayson, why did you keep me in the dark back then?"

Giselle truly felt sorry for Ian. While offering an apology, she corrected him.

"He and I are divorced now. So, you shouldn't call me Mrs. Grayson anymore. You can just call me Giselle if that's alright with you, Mr. Lawson.

"I didn't mean to keep you in the dark. However, as you already know, the two of us have been keeping our marriage a secret. I didn't want to make things hard for you, so I didn't inform you about it."

Ian could somewhat understand Giselle's situation since she mentioned how she and Anthony's marriage was kept a secret. He did not try to pry for more details.

"You're right. It's all Anthony's fault. He shouldn't have kept it from everyone.

"I heard that you were old schoolmates. Wouldn't the issues between you two remain unresolved since you proceeded with the divorce in a hurry? Are you really not going to see each other anymore?"

His question was the exact same one Giselle had on her mind.

Before yesterday, Giselle had made up her mind to cut off all contact with Anthony.

However, judging by the attitude he had yesterday, Giselle felt like it would be really hard for her to achieve that.

Besides the fact that they were old schoolmates, the thought of how she should explain to her parents about the divorce gave Giselle quite a headache.

With her parents' temper, they would surely try to meet Anthony and cause a ruckus. Before that, Giselle would have to warn Anthony and explain to him beforehand.

It seemed like cutting off all contact with him was only possible after Giselle had taken care of all these issues.

She felt like sighing as she came to the conclusion. However, she held it in.
