Before, when Claudine took care of her, Darlene had always been chubby and fair, like a doll.
But now…
After feeding Darlene, Damian asked the servant to take her to wash up.
Only Damian and Audrey were left in the garden.
Audrey was just about to speak when Damian beat her to it.
“You’ve never taken care of a child before, and now you’re suddenly responsible for Darla. Of course, it’s overwhelm- ing.
You’ll be busy soon with Prof. Nixon.
“I think it’s better for Darla to stay with me for now. When you have time, you can come visit her.”
Audrey immediately shook her head.
“Dami!”
She stepped forward and clung to Damian’s arm, her eyes full of tenderness and pleading.
“I’ve been away from Darla for so many years. Now I really want to make it up to her, to spend time with her.
“If you think I’m not doing well enough, I’ll change.
Please don’t take her away from me.
“You know she’s the only family I have left.”
As Audrey spoke, she began to cry, tears streaming down her face.
Upstairs on the second floor, Bridgette saw the whole scene.
She couldn’t hear what they were saying, but she saw Audrey clinging to Damian, sobbing and sniffling.
“That Audrey! They’re already divorced, so why is she still coming after Dami? In broad daylight, hugging someone else’s husband-what kind of behavior is that!”
The more Bridgette watched, the angrier she became.
She turned around and saw her own daughter acting as if nothing had happened, looking at a picture book.
“Claudy, your husband is about to be taken away, and you still have the mood to read!”

Bridgette snatched the book from her daughter’s hands and gave her a gentle tap on the head.
Claudine sat up and looked at her mother.
“Mom, there’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you.
“Damian and I are about to get divorced!”
As soon as Bridgette heard her daughter say this, she immediately became anxious.
“Divorce?”
She walked over to her daughter and grabbed her hand.
“Claudy, between husband and wife, you shouldn’t talk about divorce so lightly.”

“Mom knows you’re upset because you saw that ‘Ms. Lavigne’ and you’re just saying things out of anger. Don’t worry, I already spoke to Dami just now, and he promised me that he would…”
“Mom!”
Claudine interrupted her mother.
Her expression was serious, wanting her mother to believe that she wasn’t acting on impulse.
“Mom, Damian and I reached an agreement about the divorce a long time ago. Once we finish what we’re working on, we’ll go through the formalities.”
Bridgette still couldn’t accept it and wanted to persuade her daughter further.
After all, marriage isn’t something you can just walk away from so easily.
“Claudy, there’s no such thing as a marriage without arguments.”
Mom knows that, ever since you were little, seeing the relationship between your father and me made you think that all couples should be like us.
You believe marriage shouldn’t tolerate even a grain of sand.
“But in reality, your father and I aren’t exactly as you see us. How could there be no friction in daily life together?”
Bridgette originally wanted to persuade her daughter, but she didn’t realize that when Claudine heard her mention that she and her husband also had conflicts, Claudine’s eyes lit up for a moment.
Claudine pulled her mother to sit down on the sofa.
“Mom, you just said that your relationship with Dad isn’t exactly as we see it. What do you mean by that? Did you discover something?”
Claudine felt a bit of anticipation in her heart.
She hoped her mother was clear-headed, hoped she had already noticed some clues.

As for the issues between her and Damian, she had already made up her mind, so there was nothing left to struggle.
over.
Bridgette didn’t understand why her daughter was so agitated.
She simply thought her daughter was worried about her.
“Silly child, of course your father and I have conflicts. For example, your father works from dawn till late every day. and doesn’t take care of his health.
“No matter how much I try to persuade him, he won’t listen. He always thinks he’s still young.
“But I know that your father just doesn’t want to go back to the hard days we had before, and he doesn’t want us to suffer, so he works so hard.
“You see, even though your father and I have disagreements, we understand each other and know we’re both doing it for each other’s sake.
Between husband and wife, you have to be tolerant of each other to make life work.”
Listening to these words, Claudine only felt a headache coming on.
