Chapter 44 The clothing on her shoulders fell to the ground , and the two of them entered a standoff . Giselle couldn't understand why he had such a huge grudge toward Rocco and the others . If it was due to a misunderstanding of her relationship with Rocco , it was absurd . So what if Rocco and she were a couple ? The two of them were getting divorced soon , and it was none of his business . She would meet new people in the future . Even if not Rocco , there would be others suitable for her . Did she have to refrain from dating and marrying in the future ? Furthermore , what did her being with someone else have to do with Bradley ? Giselle was even more puzzled if it was not a misunderstanding . Rocco's business dealings in Accreton had no overlap with Bradley's interests . Additionally , the industries of the Henderson family , despite competing with the Ferrell family , were situated in different locations . One was in Accreton , and the other was in Jedburgh . Historically , there had been no reason for animosity between them . Therefore , why did Bradley harbour resentment toward Rocco? Apart from speculating that Bradley might have some mental issues , she couldn't find any other reason to explain his unfounded animosity . Giselle eventually broke the deadlock . She bent down , picked up Rocco's suit , patted off the nonexistent dust , and draped it over her arm . " Sure . As you said , I will cut off contact with the Henderson family . You can accompany me tomorrow morning to proceed with the divorce . " Bradley pursed his lips as his gaze swept over the suit on her arm . Then , lifting his eyes , his tone turned icy . " Divorce , you said ? What's next ? Are you going to treat me like a fool again and continue attending various events with the Henderson family ? " Giselle helplessly smiled and tilted her head at him . " Yes . Since you can imagine that I would resume being friends with them after our divorce , why make such an unreasonable request ? " How ridiculous for him to request her cut - off contact with her own family ? Bradley averted his gaze and turned to leave . " We have nothing to talk about then . Rest well . " " Bradley , do you plan never to divorce me ? " Giselle called out to him in a calm tone as she watched his departing figure . " I don't mind . Even if I never get married again , it's fine . But what about you? You have someone you like , and that person is waiting for you as well . Why insist on holding onto me ? You're just wasting your time . " " You waste my time first . " Bradley didn't turn his head . " Yes , I did . I've made you miss three years with Sarah . I sincerely apologise to you . " Giselle felt helpless . She could only try to explain herself . " But since it was a mistake , why don't you stop it now ? " I don't understand why you have hostility towards the Henderson family . I've said before that Rocco and I only have a business relationship . I haven't done anything wrong or embarrassed you within the scope of our marriage . " If you're feeling bad because you think I had thoughts of divorcing you long before I came back home and hid them , then I apologise . I'm sorry . " She bowed to him and stayed in that position for a long time before straightening up . When Bradley turned around again , what he saw was her straightening up . She was willing to make so many concessions just to get a divorce . Clearly , when they were at the venue , she was so stubborn and didn't even want to step back from the co - driver's seat . But now , she was willing to bow to him just for the sake of divorce . Why ? Obviously , it was because she no longer loved him and was eager to escape from their marriage . She no longer loved him . Ha . Back when she did have feelings for him , she insisted on marrying him . But now that she lost interest , she immediately turned away from him and left . 1/3 < Chapter 44 " Are you in such a hurry to get a divorce ? " +30 Vouchers Bradley spoke again but in a tone not as angry as before . However , the tenderness in his voice when he brought the ginger drink to her was no longer there . Giselle frowned . She did not quite understand his question She shook her head . " I told you I'm not in a hurry , but you insist on dragging it out and wasting your time , not me . " Bradley sneered . " If you're not in a hurry , why rush me ? " " But … " " The matters between Sarah and me are none of your business! " Before Giselle could say anything , Bradley interrupted her with a stern tone , as if her speaking would be a crime . She was startled by his sudden anger . She bit her lip while silently watching him . Never before , no matter how angry he was at her , had he acted like this . Bradley didn't realise how intimidating he looked at the moment . He gazed at Giselle with indifference . His tone carried a hint of mockery . " Since you've wasted three years of my time , it won't make much difference for this short while . Mrs. Ferrell , you , on the other hand , how can I let you divorce without experiencing the title of Mrs. Ferrell ? " * Since neither of us is in a rush , let's continue to waste each other's time . " What else could Giselle not understand after hearing what he said ? He was clearly doing it on purpose ! Making her unhappy was what he liked . She wanted a divorce , and he was deliberately dragging it out . It was not about his hostility toward the Henderson family . It was about his hostility toward her , making him dislike everyone around her ! Giselle gritted her teeth and glared at Bradley . " Do as you wish ! Let's not divorce then . Do you think I'd be scared ? " She sat on the couch while fuming with rage . She was unwilling to give Bradley a good face . " But Bradley , you better take good care of your next wife . I don't want her to come and trouble me just because you won't divorce . I still want to live well ! " Bradley was momentarily stunned . He originally wanted to argue that Sarah wouldn't do such a thing , but recalling the events at the Mendoza family last time , he changed his tune . " What happened last time was her fault , but it was also because of her illness that she did something unethical . Her condition has improved now . She won't do such things again in the future . " Giselle sneered and didn't respond . lilness . Illness . What a convenient excuse ! Three years ago , Sarah's actions toward her were justified by citing her illness . Now , a similar excuse was being employed once again . It was remarkable how being sick became the perfect justification . With this , even engaging in unlawful activities could conveniently be downplayed as merely an immoral act How ridiculous . Ever since Sarah's diagnosis of emotional disorder , Giselle had heard the same excuses again and again . " You're the elder sister . You have to give in a little for Sarah . You need to behave . " " You're just the adopted daughter of the Mendoza family , while Sarah is the true heiress of the Mendoza family . The fact that the Mendoza family is willing to take care of you is already a great favour . What else do you want ? " " Sarah is sick . Can't you be a little more considerate ? Why do you have to be so unrelenting ? " Once upon a time , it was the Mendoza family that talked to her this way . Hence , it was no big deal that Bradley was talking to her this way as well . Moreover , he had already made his thoughts clear with his actions , even if he didn't say it out loud . What was there for her to argue about ? Bradley probably realised what he said was too much . He stared at her shoulder in silence . After a while , he explained , " I'm not defending Sarah . It was indeed her fault for hiring someone to harm you , and I apologise on her behalf . If there's anything you want as compensation , just let me know , and I'll do my best to fulfil it . " He shouldn't have said that , as this made Giselle find it even more ironic . 2/3 < Chapter 44 " You're really good to Sarah , huh ? " She smiled on the sofa while looking at Bradley . Bradley frowned . Just when he wanted to explain , Giselle asked , " Can I really ask for anything as a request ? " Bradley pondered for a moment . " You can request anything within the conditions I can fulfil at the moment . " The implied meaning was that her request for a divorce at the moment was not acceptable . Giselle didn't intend to bring up the divorce again . She was already tired of talking about it . Whatever . Holding the suit , she stood up from the couch and said , " Then send me away . I don't want to stay here . " J Chapter Comments AD Watch Ads to Get 8 Vouchers +30 Vouchers 3/3 < Chapter 45
