Wrong Marriage and Sweet Love

Stephanie was such a kingly being that she could instantly turn them into crumbs just by opening her mouth.

The scene was extremely embarrassing.

Luther was just about to speak.

At that moment, Joyce suddenly stood up and “flopped” on her knees in front of Stephanie.

Before she could say anything, her voice was already choked up, “Grandma, I know you truly like me. I also truly consider you as my own grandmother. I grew up in an orphanage and have no family. I thank you for letting me know what a family feels like. This is something I have never experienced before.”

Joyce said, unaware that tears were flowing out already.NôvelDrama.Org content.

She was still sick and her skin was a bit pale at the moment, and with tear marks on her cheek, Stephanie really wanted to take her into her arms.

Luther did not say a word, his heart smothered, inexplicably heavy, and inexplicably irritable.

He and Joyce were supposed to be married under false pretenses, and he was supposed to be responsible for Charlotte, as his grandmother had taught her since she was a child. But why was it so hard for him to feel this way inside? He felt like there were a thousand ants gnawing at his heart.

Joyce wiped her tears and continued, “But, there is something you can’t force. From the very beginning, Luther and I are married under false pretenses. You must have known it long before. I know you want us to be a real couple. I think that under the same roof, sooner or later, there will be love. But Luther does have someone in his heart. They have not only a contract but also a child. It would be a mistake for me to stop them. What should I think, if I do not stop?”

In Joyce’s opinion, Luther must be in love with Charlotte, or otherwise, how could they have a child.

She doesn’t want to be a third party.

“I promise you that I will stay with you until the end. It’s just that my fake marriage with him can’t go on anymore. Grandma, I’m sorry for hiding it from you for so long. It’s all my fault. Please don’t be sad.”

Joyce’s words moved Stephanie’s heart.

The room was extremely quiet and no one dared to make any more noise.

After a long time, Stephanie let out a long sigh, and her already bloodless face looked even paler as if she had aged a lot more in an instant. Her figure swayed, sluggish and desolate.

It’s just that.

What could she do now that the matter had become like this?

She asked Luther, “Is that what you think? Decided you want to divorce Joyce?”

Luther’s handsome face did not have a single expression, only a gentle nod, “Grandma. My mind is made up, and this is my responsibility to bear.”

“I need to see Charlotte for a moment. You will wait for my notice and arrange for her to come here to see me.” Stephanie stood up trembling with all her strength on her crutches, “If I am not satisfied, she will not enter my door.”

Joyce hurriedly held her steady, “Grandma, be careful. Are you tired, let me help you to your room.”

“No, I’ll go back on my own.” Stephanie looked at Joyce and patted her shoulder heavily. Her face could not conceal her sadness. What could she do if they never loved each other?

Stephanie trudged back to her room with heavy steps and a sluggish back.

When Stephanie left, Jacqueline heaved a sigh of relief.

In any case, Luther’s divorce was decided.

Jacqueline wanted to take a step even further and encouraged, “Luther, it’s Saturday now. Why don’t you two get the paperwork done Monday.” She just could not wait any longer.

“You can only file for a divorce first on Monday, and now the law says there must be a 30-day cooling-off period for divorce,” Joyce said.

“A divorce cooling-off period?!” Jacqueline’s beautiful eyes widened, “What is this?”
