“Grandpa, I …” Christine White looked at her old man with red eyes.
Seeing her crying, the old man couldn’t help but be startled, “What’s wrong with this, why are you crying for a good reason? Grandpa didn’t bully you.”
“I know, I’m just … Just …”
“Just what, tell me!” The old man was so anxious that he straightened his cane.
This girl, crying, crying, crying is distracting!
Christine White huffed, “I’m sorry Grandpa, I couldn’t help it.”
“Okay, you hurry up and say it.” The old man helplessly held his forehead.
Christine White hmmm’d as if she had made up her mind about something, wiped her tears, and then took a deep breath and thunked down towards the old man.
The old man and Fu Bo behind him were shocked.
“Girl, what are you doing?” The old master hurriedly asked Uncle Fu to help her up.
Christine White, however, was reluctant and wouldn’t get up, “Grandpa, I’m sorry, I’m going to fail you.”
“What’s wrong?” The old man frowned.
Christine White raised her hand and wiped her tears, “Grandpa, I want a divorce!”
“What did you say?” The old man’s tea-drinking motion jerked to a halt.
Furber also looked at Christine White with a stunned look on his face.
Christine White bit her lip and said again, “Grandpa, I want a divorce!”
Dang!
The sound of a teacup hitting the table hard.
The old man’s face was so gloomy that it was about to drip, “You said you want a divorce?”
Christine White held back her fear and nodded, “Yes.”
“Tell me the reason.” The old man’s eyes stared at her grimly.
Christine White didn’t dare to meet the old man’s eyes and lowered her head, “Because I can’t live with Baird Lane anymore.”
“That’s the only reason?” The old man laughed in exasperation.
Christine White buried her head even lower, “Yes …”
“Hmph!” The old man slapped his hand on the table, “If you can’t get along, you have to divorce, Christine White, do you think you are still a child? Is marriage just casual in your eyes?”
“No grandpa, I’m not looking at marriage casually, but I … Something happened to me recently.” Christine White choked out.
She didn’t dare tell the truth about her child being gone.
The old man had been longing for a great-grandchild, and if he knew the child was gone, his heart would not be able to bear it.
“Something happened? What happened?” The old man narrowed a pair of sharp eyes.
Christine White shook her head, “Grandpa, I can’t say.”
“What can’t you say!”
“I really can’t talk about it, I’m sorry Grandpa.” Christine White’s tears flowed again.
Seeing her like this, the old master was quite tired, he rubbed his temples and gave Uncle Fu a wink.
Uncle Fu nodded with intent and left the study silently.
“Okay, since you don’t say, I won’t force you, I’ll just ask you, are you sure you want a divorce?” The old man’s voice was cold.
Christine White looked up firmly, “Yes, I’m sure.”
“Heh, it looks like you’ve been thinking about this divorce for a long time.” The old man was sarcastic.
Christine White pursed her little lips and said nothing.
The old man pestled his cane, “Christine White, do you know that we, The Lane Family, have never had a precedent for divorce, what makes you think that the old man will let you set this precedent? Also you have been on The Lane Family’s genealogy and have met all of The Lane Family’s relatives, do you really think that divorce is a simple matter?”
“I know, but I’m really too tired to forgive him.” Christine White said with a slight tremor in her body.
The old man wrinkled his brow suspiciously, “Forgive him? Did Baird do something to you?”
“He …” Christine White opened her mouth and subconsciously wanted to tell the story, but in the end she held back, “No, it’s my fault, it’s my reason, and the divorce was unilateral, it has nothing to do with him.”
“Since it’s unilateral on your part, that means Baird doesn’t know you’re divorcing him yet?” The old man was slightly surprised.
Christine White shook her head, “No, he knows, and I’ve mentioned it to him, he just hasn’t agreed.”
“Since he didn’t agree, isn’t that better for you? It means that you have a place in his heart as well, and your feelings for Baird, the old man I also see it in my eyes, as long as you guys last, one day you will be a loving couple.” The old man said as he resumed his cup of tea.
Christine White bit her lower lip, “No it won’t, Baird Lane he doesn’t have me in his heart at all, he only has Molly Bort in his heart.”
“Molly Bort?” the old man’s face went sour when he heard the name, “So it’s because of this woman that you want to divorce Baird?”
“Something to do with Molly Bort, too.” Christine White returned.
The old man grunted coldly, “Foolish, even if you mind this woman, don’t forget that you are the wife of Baird, and you’re still afraid that that woman will threaten your position?”
Christine White hung her eyes.
The old man added, “In that case, I’ll step in and tell that woman to get out of the country.”
“No Grandpa.” Christine White rushed to her feet to stop it.
The old man grimaced, “What? You still want a love rival to accompany you?”
“No, I’m just worried that Baird Lane will take it out on me if you do.” Christine White replied bitterly.
Let’s just say that the three years she’s been alone were not intentional on Baird Lane’s part.
Three years ago, she was chosen by the old man to have Baird Lane forcibly marry her. Baird Lane couldn’t be mad at the old man, so he had to take it out on her, so he purposely left her out in the cold for three years.
“How could Baird do that.” The old man was a little unconvinced by Christine White’s words.
To him, his oldest grandson was not such a person who did not know right from wrong.
Christine White smiled to herself, “Grandpa, you probably don’t even know Baird Lane, because the real reason I want a divorce is because I’ve become disillusioned with him.”
“Nonsense, how could I not know Baird?” the old man glared at her.
Christine White, astringent in her mind, didn’t answer anymore.
The old man looked at her and sighed, “Christine, I’ll ask you again, you do want a divorce?”
“Yes.” Christine White answered the same way.
The old man gripped the faucet on his cane and mused.
To this girl, he is still considered to be more understanding, how much she loves her grandson, he also see clearly, that is completely dead.
And for such a deadbeat to suddenly open his mouth and say he’s disappointed to be getting a divorce, he wouldn’t believe it for a second if there wasn’t something going on here.
It looks like that Baird kid, he really did something to her.
“Tell you what, I’ll think about this matter for a while, you go back first.” The old man freed a hand and waved it, giving Christine White an expulsion order.
Christine White still somewhat did not want to go, but also did not dare to disobey the orders of the old man, and could only leave the study in a state of disillusionment.
Christine White was still a little jittery even as she walked down the path to the front door of the old mansion.
I also wonder if the old man will agree to let her divorce Baird Lane.
“Young Granny.” Fubo suddenly came over from the pathway on the right.
Christine White gathered her thoughts for the moment and smiled politely at him, “Fubuki.”
“Are you getting ready to go back, Young Grandmother?” Fu Bo asked amiably.
Christine White nodded slightly, “I’ve been bothering Grandpa for so long too, it’s time to head back.”
“Then I’ll have someone send you.”
“No need Uncle Fu, I can go back by myself, I won’t trouble you, bye.” She thanked Uncle Fu’s kindness, waved her hand and continued walking ahead.
After taking two steps, Fu Bo’s slightly profound words suddenly rang out behind her, “Young granny, don’t worry, Master will teach Young Master a good lesson this time.”
Christine White snapped back with wide eyes, “You know all about it, Fubuki?”
