"Lih, could he be dragging out the divorce because he's tallen for you? As soon as the video call connected,
Maryanne blurted out her usual nonsense
Lily was speechless. "You're own better at daydreaming than me".
Maryanne hutted twice, got eft the bed, and closed her door Speaking in a low voice, she said, "You're not mad
at me, right? | left so abruptly. My mom said it's your family's issue and that I represent the Devereux family in
this situation. 1 acted impulsively, our families could have strained relations. But please don't be upset with my
mom either-after all, Xander represents the Fulton family...
Lily listened to her rambling quiet.
She wasn't angry, but her heart grew increasingly heavy as she listened. Who did she represent? And who would
stand up for her? Who could help her with this seemingly endless divorce?

"Why are you crying?" Maryanne noticed her tears and immediately got teary-eyed herself. "Did Xavier
the Hound do something to you again, or are you mad at me?
The tears streamed down Lih's face so quickly that she didn't even realize it. Before she knew it, they had
already allen.
Wiping her cheek with her hand, she shook her head. "I'm not mad. | just think it's silly how seriously you're
explaining everything to me."
Relieved, Maryanne said, "You're the silly one. You're still legally married, but why do you stay silent when
everyone calls Sarah 'Mrs Fulton? You should throw your marriage certificate in their faces and make them choke
on it!"
12y could fight back and wasn't incapable of it. However, standing up for herself required confidence and
leverage, especially when dealing with someone as unreasonable as
"It's fine What's done is done. As for the divorce... | guess there'll be another chance someday."
She wasn't sure if she was saying that to Maryanne or to comfort herself.
Maryanne added, "My mom feels bad about what happened. She just said that she plans to visit the Fulton family
soon.
"She wants to make it clear-either you work things out, or you divorce, Why keep dragging it on like this?"
If Maria went, it would be to speak with Edith. Although Edith was an elder, she was kind and approachable,
someone one could reason with, unlike Tamara, who was hard to reach, always bury with work, and uninterested
in gossip *Please let Mrs. Devereux Senior know I'm not upset. | understand the importance of family relations
and can keep things in perspective."
Lily felt genuinely apologetic. Xavier's appearance had ruined a perfectly good gathering. Now, the Devereux
family was even offering her an apology, something she didn't feel she deserved.
After chatting a little longer, she ended the call and returned to her studies, but she found herself unable to
focos, her thoughts drifting uncontrollably...

Marika couldn't wait to visit the Fulton family in person. Unable to hold back, she called Edith directly and told
her about the situation between Xavier and Lily
Edith was so infuriated her eyes rolled back, and she almost fainted. She immediately called Xavier, demanding
he chome.
With neither Shane por Tamara around, she didn't notily them. This was something she planned to discuss
privately with Xavier
An hour later, Xavier arrived, looking disheveled from the rush. He hadn't even removed his coat when he
entered the house. Yet, Edith, who had claimed over the phone that she was unwell, now sat upright on the
couch, looking perfectly fine. "Grandma, weren't you feeling sick?"
She closed her eyes and said, "Yes, it's a heart problem. You can cure it. Will you help?
Hesad nothing
"There sign it, and I'll be cured. She pointed at a document on
on the coffee table.
Xavier lifted the document, which was a divorce agreement, and stared at those bold, glaring words.
