When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1885 Let Us Divorce

Upon being yelled at by Robert, Elena was also startled.

She was at a loss for words, choosing to remain silent.

At that moment, she felt a profound sense of sorrow. Why was it that Wren left her

to shoulder everything on her own? Why was he free to enjoy himself outside?

Loss of hope toward someone didn't happen all at once, but rather, it was the result of a gradual accumulation of disappointments.

That night was destined to be sleepless.

By the time Nathaniel's father rushed back, some of the Rainsworth family's relatives had also arrived.

Elena had already changed into mourning clothes.

Wren first glanced at his father, then moved closer to Elena. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Gazing at him, Elena's weary eyes were filled with disappointment. "Are you certain I never mentioned it? A month ago, I informed you that Dad's health was deteriorating. I asked you to return so he could sort out his affairs."

"I thought you asked me to come back just to fight over Dad's inheritance," Wren enunciated.

Shock filled Elena's eyes.

Her hand dropped to her side, tightening into fists. "Wren, you truly have surprised me. You're right. I did want you to return so that Dad could act a little more fairly. Did you know? When Dad died, he left all his inheritance to Robert's family."

Upon hearing all this, Wren simply found it uninteresting.

“It's just some money. What's the big deal? So be it. After all, we're all family," Wren said. After finishing his words, he left to attend to the guests who had arrived.noveldrama

He even chatted cheerily with Robert.

From a distance, Elena watched, disappointed to her core.

Standing by Nathaniel's side, Cecilia, as Niel's granddaughter-in-law, was also tasked with greeting the guests.

She also witnessed the falling out between Elena and Wren.

Over the years, ever since she married into the Rainsworth family, she rarely saw Wren.

She had heard from others that Wren had been quite the rebel in his youth. He had no interest in managing the company, preferring to spend his days traveling and living life on his own terms.

Throughout the year, the time Elena and Wren spent together was quite limited. Cecilia walked up to Nathaniel. "Nathaniel, you should go over and comfort Mom." As a woman, having to constantly manage the household and yet not receive understanding from her husband was far from easy.

Nathaniel nodded. "Okay."

He wasn't really sure how to comfort his mother, but he knew that she needed him.

Nathaniel walked toward Elena, engaging in a lengthy conversation with her. Once they finished, he then went to meet his father.

Wren gave him a pat on the

shoulder. "Nathaniel, thank you foet

matters. You've truly done an outstanding job, just like your mom."

His two sons' personalities were similar to Elena's. They were both hardworking and competitive.

Wren had grown accustomed to his leisurely lifestyle, and he felt fortunate that they were not like him.

Nathaniel said calmly, "Dad, you should appreciate Mom more. She's the one who held our family together."

Choked with emotion, Wren could only nod in silence, unable to utter another word.

As dawn approached, the number of people arriving began to dwindle gradually.

Everyone could also take a brief break.

Wren and Elena made their way into their own room.

Elena could no longer hold it in. "Let's get a divorce."

Wren was just about to take a shower when he suddenly heard these words. He

couldn't help but express his surprise. "What did you say?"

"I'm saying let's get a divorce. I no longer wish to be with you."

The mere thought of the words spoken by Robert during Niel's passing caused waves of disappointment to wash over Elena.

Having been a daughter-in-law in their family for so many years, she felt it was unjust that she didn't have a say in anything. The fact that her husband wasn't there by her side it even more unbearable. She felt it was all not worth it.

Wren didn't take her words seriously at all. "Stop joking around. We're not exactly young anymore. Even our grandson is already so grown up. What's with the talk about getting a divorce?"
