Christine White’s eyes flashed back when she heard him say this, “Didn’t think anything of it, medicine change is done, you rest.”
She moved quickly to put away her medicine chest and prepared to get up and go out.
Baird Lane took her hand, “Wait.”
“Something wrong?” Christine White drew her hand back.
Baird Lane couldn’t help but darken his eyes when he saw her resisting his touch so much, his tone was much lighter, “What I have to tell you is that The Bort Family is out of the country.”
“So?” Christine White glanced at him coldly.
Baird Lane pursed his thin lips, “Nothing like that will ever happen again.”
“Is it useful for you to tell me that now? It’s happened, and even if they’re gone, so what? The damage has been done and my hatred for The Bort Family will not go away with them leaving the country, Mr. Lane, I hope you understand that.” With those words, Christine White stopped no longer and left the room in stride.
When she came downstairs, Aunt Lucy handed her a glass of milk, “Ma’am, why did you bring down Mr.’s medicine chest?”
Christine White then realized she had one more thing in her hand and slapped her forehead with some chagrin, “I forgot to put it down.”
“It’s fine, just bring it up in a moment, ma’am, and drink your milk first.” Aunt Lucy picked up the medicine box in her hand and gently set it aside.
Christine White hmmm’d and sat down with her milk, taking a sip.
After finishing her drink, she put the cup down and pulled her cell phone out of her pocket, finding the old man’s number and calling it, “Grandpa.”
“Decided that today is the day?” The old man asked her.
Christine White nodded, “Uh-huh.”
“All right, I was going to try to persuade you again, old man.” The old man sighed doctor.
Christine White dropped her eyes, “I’m sorry Grandpa.”
“Silly girl, what have you wronged the old man me, I have always said that it is we, The Lane Family, who have wronged you, when do you plan to leave?” The old man asked again.
“This afternoon.”
“Alright, I’ll have Old Fu come over in a while, there are some things I need to explain to you.” The old master said.
Christine White was a little curious, “What is it, Grandpa?”
The old man laughed, “You’ll see in a moment.”
“Okay.” Christine White responded with disappointment.
After that, she chatted with the old man a few more times before ending the call.
Aunt Lucy came over with the fruit, “Mistress, is that His Lordship?”
“It’s Grandpa.” Christine White answered as she put away her cell phone.
“His Lordship is coming over later?”
“Not coming, but Furber is coming over and says he has some things to tell me.” Christine White ate her fruit and casually continued her words.
Aunt Lucy nodded, “In that case, then I’ll go and clean the tea set first, so I can make tea when Uncle Fu comes later.”
“Uh-huh.” Christine White smiled weakly.
After Aunt Lucy left, she sat alone on the couch, eating fruit and thinking about things.
After thinking about it for about half an hour, she figured it was about time, put down the fork in her hand and got up to go back upstairs.
In the room, Baird Lane is asleep.
The medication he had taken had a drowsy aftertaste in it, but she was afraid he hadn’t slept deeply enough, so she had waited until now to come up.
Still, she was a little uneasy and reached out and nudged him gently, “Baird Lane? Baird Lane?”
After shouting twice in a row, Baird Lane didn’t wake up, and Christine White was then convinced that he was really sleeping heavily.
She withdrew her hand and slowly sat down on the edge of the bed, then lowered her head and stared at him with torched eyes.
This is the first time she looked at him so carefully, in the past she did not have the opportunity to look at so, not to mention that she did not dare to look at it for a long time, that is, now, she dared to keep staring at him so.
He really is a very perfect man, family history, appearance, ability, no matter which aspect is stronger than other men by a large margin, it is no wonder that there are so many women have a crush on him, but he also has shortcomings, and the most obvious shortcomings, is probably his character, too cold, cold and a little unsympathetic.
In the past, she didn’t think that there was anything to this kind of personality of his, and even thought it was quite cool, thinking that it was just high and cold, but these recent events made her completely understand that his coldness was only directed at her alone, and brought her a heart full of despair and pain.
At that thought, Christine White took a deep breath and pushed down these tumbling emotions in her heart, then leaned down and, fighting back tears, kissed Baird Lane on the lips.
The kiss lasted a long time, maybe two minutes, before Christine White stood her body up and gently said goodbye to Baird Lane, “Baird Lane, goodbye!”
After saying goodbye, she didn’t feel relief in her heart, instead, it was depressing and clogged.
She forced herself not to care about that, though, because she knew very well that if she did, she wouldn’t be able to leave today.
Lifting her sleeve and casually wiping the corners of her eyes, Christine White let out a long breath and tried to calm herself before bending down and pulling open the bedside drawer, removing the divorce papers that had been prepared a long time ago and placing them at the foot of the bed.
That done, she didn’t delay and went back to the checkroom to roll out her suitcase towards the door.
When she walked to the door, her footsteps suddenly stopped again, and finally slowly twisted her head toward the man on the bed and looked for a long, long time before tearfully closing the door and going downstairs.
“Ma’am, what are you?” Aunt Lucy was cleaning and was a little surprised to see Christine White coming downstairs with her suitcase.
Christine White huffed, “Aunt Lucy, thank you for taking care of me these past three years, I never told you the purpose of my visit to the old mansion two days ago, I went to the old mansion because I wanted to tell grandpa that I wanted a divorce and grandpa agreed to it, and now it’s time for me to go.”
“Divorce?” Aunt Lucy was so shocked that the rag in her hand fell to the floor unawares, “Mistress, don’t scare me, did Master really agree?”
“Well, if you don’t believe me, you can call Grandpa and ask.” Christine White returned.
Where was Aunt Lucy’s disbelief when she had said so.
Precisely because of the belief, at this moment Aunt Lucy’s heart is particularly bad taste, “So it’s like this, I thought that Mrs. you didn’t mention the divorce matter these days is that you have already given up the idea of divorcing Mr., I didn’t expect that you’re not saying anything to fight for his lordship’s consent.”
“I’m sorry Aunt Lucy, I didn’t mean to keep it from you, it’s just that I was afraid that Baird Lane would find out what I was planning to do, that’s why I never told you.” Christine White apologized.
Aunt Lucy sighed, “Ma’am, you haven’t wronged me so you don’t need to apologize to me, it’s just that you’re leaving now, does mister know that?”
“He doesn’t know, and if he did, I probably wouldn’t be able to leave, after all, he’s been refusing to agree to a divorce.” Christine White said bitterly.
Aunt Lucy looked up at the stairs, a little worried, ”Since Mr. doesn’t agree, then why do you insist, Mrs.? After the divorce, what will you do? Is it possible that you want to go back to The White Family, although The White Family is your mother’s family, but it is not a good family, if you go back, you will be bullied by them.”
“I know, but it’s okay, I’m not going back to The White Family , I have somewhere to go, Aunt Lucy don’t you worry.” Christine White smiled.
Aunt Lucy saw how insistent she was and knew that she was going to leave no matter how much she tried to persuade her, she was a bit anxious, “Ma’am, you’d better talk to Mr. before you leave.”
“No, I just said I can’t leave if he knows.” Christine White shook her head.
“But …”
“Okay Aunt Lucy,” Christine White interrupted her and looked at her seriously, “Aunt Lucy, I really don’t want these things to happen again, so I must divorce this marriage, and I don’t want to wait blindly anymore. I’m afraid that if I wait, he still won’t see me either …”
At those words, Aunt Lucy’s heart sank and she couldn’t speak.
Just then, the doorbell suddenly rang.
