Always There: Win My Ex-wife Back

Chapter 52: I Divorced Gerard 

"Chelle!"

As tears streamed down David's cheeks, he nodded vigorously and reached out with his trembling hands to caress his granddaughter's face.

For over ten years, the old man had missed the opportunity to hear her call him Grandpa.

Now that she finally said it, he felt that his whole life hadn't been in vain.

"My dear Chelle.It's all my fault."

David cried copiously as he spoke.

Although he used to be a big shot in politics, now, in front of Michelle, he wasn't a frightening and arrogant man.

He was just a grandfather who deeply loved his granddaughter.

Sitting next to each other, David and Michelle smiled through tears.

Once they saw this, everyone in the room immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

They had been worried that the stubborn old man wouldn't accept his granddaughter again.

But as it seemed, everything worked out.

"Oh, don't cry, Chelle.Here, have some of your favorite spareribs."

Claire looked affectionately at her niece and served her bowl.

The next moment, she did the same with her father-in-law and said, "Dad, Chelle loves spareribs as much as you do, especially the fried ones.I guess we can say that she took after you."

The entire room promptly burst into laughter.

The tense atmosphere had finally dissipated.

At this moment, David also put various delicious food in Michelle's bowl, which soon turned into a high pile.

Nevertheless, she was happy.

This was just one more piece of evidence that her grandparents still loved her.

All the wrongs in the past could finally be put behind them.

"Chelle, I heard from your aunt that you married a man named Gerard, right?"

Angie was slightly worried about the young woman's love life.

After all, this was a subject which most women were often concerned about.

Michelle nodded.

Before she came today, she had decided to tell her uncle and aunt the truth, so she said, "In fact, I divorced Gerard a short time ago."

"What? Divorced?"

Elliot was clearly the most shocked one at the news.As Michelle's uncle, he had never seen Gerard and seldom heard his niece mention him before.

Now she told them that they had already divorced.How could he not be surprised? "What happened?"

Claire asked.She couldn't help but worry about Michelle as well.She knew that her marriage to Gerard was concealed from the outside world and only family members were aware of it, but why did they get divorced? Wasn't it a hasty decision? Angie and David, in turn, weren't anywhere near as surprised as Elliot and Claire.

Yet their faces still showed obvious signs of concern.

They wouldn't simply tolerate anyone who hurt their dear granddaughter.

"Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, and Aunt, don't worry.Just let me finish, please."

Seeing how much her family cared about her, Michelle was deeply touched.

"Marrying Gerard was a total mistake.I did it because the Greenwoods asked me to.Besides, Gerard wanted to keep the marriage a secret, which at first didn't make much sense, but at least I knew why he married me."

"Why?"

Claire remembered that the Greenwoods had several daughters who were older than Michelle.

If age had been their criteria, her niece wouldn't have been chosen to marry Gerard.

She also wasn't the most loved family member there, so why would an orphan be favored in this matter, especially among people as snobbish as the Greenwoods? However, one thing was certain, if Michelle were of no use to the Greenwoods, they wouldn't have raised her in the first place.

"Gerard is actually a quite smart guy.He knew that the Greenwoods didn't hold me in high regard, so he agreed to marry me.If he had chosen either Jolie or Paula, it would have been impossible to keep his marriage hidden from the outside world as he wanted.Also, it wouldn't be so easy to divorce them."
