Chapter 401
It was impossible to miss the mocking smile in Quennel’s eyes.
As a spectator to this drama, he was thoroughly enjoying himself. After a blow-up of this magnitude, it would be almost impossible for them not to get a divorce.
“Mom, I’m sorry. I honestly didn’t think Hannah would do something like this. If I had known, I would have stopped her p>
“Stop her? Lionel, tell me, what could you possibly have used to stop her p>
Mary cut him off, her voice sharp. “Don’t forget, you were the one who lost his mind and asked her to sign a divorce agreement in the first place! You should have realized this was a possibility right then and there p>
“You didn’t go through with the divorce, but Hannah kept insisting on it. You should have known it was over between you p>
“Did you think that because Hannah always went along with you, she’d never do anything to harm your reputation? You should have known she’d changed after she came here the other day and told off all our relatives p>
Mary was so incensed she became breathless, forcing herself to take deep breaths to regain her composure.
Quennel handed her a cup of tea.
“Mother, have some tea and calm down. Your health is what’s important. Don’t let his foolishness ruin it for you p>
Mary took the cup from her son, looking at his obedient and considerate demeanor. She was about to praise him when she suddenly remembered that this son wasn’t so great either.
After all, he was in love with Hannah.
Wonderful. Neither of the two sons she’d borne had given her a moment of peace. They were both sent to torment her.
“In any case, this is where we are. If you don’t divorce Hannah, then get out of the Rosenberg family. Ads when the rest of the family starts interfering with your career, don’t expect any help from me p>
Mary took a sip of tea and sighed wearily. “You’re a grown man. You need to take responsibility for your actions. As your mother I’ve warned you several times. Since you refuse totisten, then so be it. Get out p>
She set the cup down and glanced at her eldest son, a headache already forming. “You too. I need some quiet p>
Quennel nodded and left without another word.
The two brothers went to another study. The moment Quennel sat down, he couldn’t resist a sneer.
“Hannah’s move was quite surprising, don’t you think p>
“Quennel, this sudden post about the marriage certificate… it has nothing to do with you, right p>
Quennel shrugged. “Just as Hannah said, you’re an eternal optimist. No matter what happens, you never look for fault in yourself; you just push all the blame onto others. You’re truly amazing, Lionel p>
When Hannah had told him that about Lionel, he’d had his doubts.
But seeing it in person today, he knew it was the absolute truth.
“The reason Hannah posted that marriage certificate is because she’s fed up with your stalling. Since you won’t agree to a divorce, she’s taking the fight public. She’s been patient for a very long time. It’s a miracle she hasn’t lost her mind completely p>
Lionel’s heart clenched at those words.
Hannah had said something similar to him before, but he hadn’t wanted to believe it.
He couldn’t accept that no one was egging her on.
Had she… had she really stopped loving him?
