Chapter135
Krista said with difficulty, “Well, okay.”
Terrence started the car, leaving Bethany behind and drove
away.
Bethany walked to the roadside outside the hospital gate and
waited for a car. A car stopped steadily beside her.
It was Julio.
Bethany fainted and was taken away by Terrence, whose
attitude was not particularly good.
He worried and followed.
I never expected that Terrence would actually leave Bethany
behind and go with his son and Krista.
Julio got out of the car.
“Dummy”
Bethany forced a smile and signed, “What are you doing here?”
Julio took a deep breath, pursed his lips, raised his eyebrows,
and said, “If you don’t want to laugh, then stop laughing. It’s not
Chapter135
attractive at all.”
He knew that she was forcing a smile.
So, he saw it all.
The lie was exposed, Bethany’s face looked a bit embarrassed,
and she wanted to explain, “It’s not what you think, I… he…”
Bethany’s gestures waved back and forth, yet she couldn’t find at
suitable reason to excuse Terrence.
“Dummy.”
Julio called her, interrupting her messy and incoherent sign
language, “You don’t need to explain, I know, he treated you
badly.”
Julio vigorously rubbed his upper and lower jaws a few times,
“You don’t actually have to put yourself through this, I can
really help you find a lawyer…”
Bethany immediately raised her hand, signaling Julio
talking.

Then, she made up her mind and her beautiful face turned
serious. She continued with her gestures, “Julio, I impulsively
wanted a divorce. Terrence and I only had a small disagreement.
Chapter135
He treats me well. If you continue to come and find me, it will
only make our marriage worse. I love him, I don’t really want a
divorce. When I asked you to help me find a divorce lawyer
before, I just wanted to cause a scene and make him pay more
attention to me. I’m sorry for troubling you.”
Julio’s lips moved, and Bethany worried that he was about to
say something again. She quickly continued with sign language,
“Don’t come looking for me again. He saw us several times and
got very angry. Just now, he threw me away because he was
angry. It was my lack of careful consideration that
inconvenienced you and caused me a lot of unhappiness. I am
very, very sorry. I hope you won’t be angry with me. Goodbye.”
After saying that, Bethany walked away without looking back.
Julio reached out his hand, frozen in mid–air.
Finally, trembling with five fingers, Dummy, who was about to
shout out from his throat, was forcefully taken back by him.
The arm hung down, and the five fingers trembled, curling into
a fist.
He knew Bethany since they were young, how could he not
know that she was deceiving people.
She was afraid of burdening him.
Chapter135
Terrence was a formidable figure who had no family or support
to rely on. If even he were to be pushed away, how could she
manage to carry on alone?
Julio tightened his thin lips, thinking that no matter what cost.
he had to pay, he would not abandon her.
Bethany hailed a taxi, she didn’t know where else she could go.
But no matter where she went, Vespera Villa would not go
back.
As for the divorce, since no lawyer dared to take the case, she
applied for divorce to the court in her own name.
She prepared to go to the court to learn about the process of
applying for divorce, but today is Saturday and the court is not
working.
She might have needed to wait until Monday.
She then hailed a taxi driver and had him take her to a hotel.
Night.
Terrence, Krista, and Emery sat together at the dining table,
having dinner.
Eliza looked embarrassed for the whole afternoon.
Chapter135
In the morning, Mr. McConnell took Mrs. McConnell out, but
she did not come back.
At that moment, the three of them sat together, resembling a
family of three, with the mischievous Mr. Emery, chatting and
laughing with Krista, seemingly forgetting that their own
mother was not at home.
Eliza served them soup on the side and couldn’t help but ask,
“Mr. McConnell, why hasn’t Mrs. McConnell returned yet? She
said she was going to teach me how to make lobster bisque.”
Eliza intentionally found an excuse, otherwise she was afraid
Mr. McConnell would blame her for being nosy.
Terrence had not eaten lobster bisque for a long time.
Since the day of the parent–child activity, Bethany has not
cooked again.
Of course, Emery hadn’t had lobster bisque for a long time.
The last time I had lobster bisque, it was made by Eliza and it
was not tasty at all.
He still missed the taste of his mother’s cooking.
