Chapter 1338
"I'm not afraid." Lydia shook her head. She had her own thoughts on the matter.
Facing Nina, she started counting on her fingers as she explained, "First, if these people are watching your family, they'll definitely dig into your connections and find out we're friends. Second, I could bring a few bodyguards with me. If we live together, our safety might even improve." She truly didn't want to stay at home. Eugene showed up every day, going out of his way to impress her parents, and it made her genuinely uncomfortable. But seeing the sincere smiles on her parents' faces, Lydia couldn't bring herself to chase him away. She couldn't even say a harsh word to him.
She had already hurt her parents once before because of her stubbornness. Now that she was back home after her divorce, did she really want to go against them again? That would be so ungrateful.
These feelings weighed heavily on her heart. Rather than silently enduring them alone, she figured a change of scenery might do her some good.
"Then come on over," Nina replied warmly. "I've been home most days lately, so we can chat, pick up some new hobbies. Anything's better than you being cooped up at home."
After they finalized their plans, Lydia hung up. She quickly freshened up, changed clothes, and packed a suitcase. She headed downstairs, where Mr. and Mrs. Fay were chatting on the sofa. Their conversation revolved around Lydia and Eugene, as usual. "When will our daughter finally get through this? She can't eat or sleep well. As her mother, it breaks my heart." Mrs. Fay stared at the TV, but her mind was on her daughter.
Mr. Fay sat beside her,
chain-smoking. "Give her a bit more time. This whole waiting period is ridiculous. Once a couple decides to divorce, why should they be forced to wait? Back in our day, you could just file and get the papers done."
"Exactly. Now they're saying we have to wait it out, and I'm worried Quincy might try to drag it on longer than necessary," Mrs. Fay said, clearly frustrated.
They had given Quincy a chance when he married Lydia. They hadn't tried to stop them from getting married, but look how that turned out!
Quincy betrayed their trust, hurtTêxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Lydia terribly, and now their
grandchild was gone. Although they didn't know all the details, seeing their daughter so exhausted and worn out made it clear Quincy had crossed a line.
Mr. Fay sat up, slamming his fist onto the coffee table, his expression fierce. "If he dares, he'll regret it! He runs a company, doesn't he? If he drags this out, he won't be running that company much longer"
The only reason Quincy had married into the family was to gain the Fays' support. Well, now he could forget about any help from them. In fact, they could easily sabotage his business.
An unlisted company like his stood no chance against the Fay family's firm. One word from Mr. Fay, and Quincy would find it hard to find any partners.
While they were discussing their plans, Lydia came down the stairs and greeted them. "Mom, Dad, I'm going to stay elsewhere for a few days, just to clear my mind. Don't worry about me."
