See You Never, Mr. Lamont

Chapter 148

Chapter 148 We’ve Divorced Misunderstanding, what kind of misunderstanding could there be between her and Edmond? Claudia’s heart sank suddenly, and her gaze fell anxiously on her stomach. The child was not even two months old, and the belly had not yet shown signs. If the mother-in-law insisted on telling Edmond about this matter… Claudia forced a smile and thought, what could she do? She could only resign herself to her fate. Edmond caught a glimpse of Claudia’s nervousness, his eyebrows slightly raised. “Do you still remember that time when you got drunk this year?” Cicely’s voice was h o ar se as she spoke, sighing as she continued, “That time, I put something in your food, I blame myself for wanting a grandson so badly, without considering your feelings.” She knew that Edmond always believed it was Claudia who had plotted it. She was afraid that her son would resent her, so she had been hesitant to come forward and clarify everything. Now, she has decided to lay everything out on the table. If the child Claudia was carrying was not Edmond’s, she planned to take some things to the grave. But if the child in Claudia’s belly was Edmond’s, deep down, she still hoped that they could reconcile. She already didn’t like Rosalie, and after experiencing these few days, she felt even more that Claudia was more suitable for Edmond. Cicely looked at Edmond and said, “Actually, Claudia was unaware that time, and both of you were manipulated by me.” The shock in Edmond’s eyes spread slowly to his pupils, making the depths of his eyes as black as ink, harboring a ferocious beast in the darkness of the night. “Why are you only saying this now?” His voice was low, and the surrounding air pressure became heavy. Claudia’s mouth slightly opened, her face filled with astonishment. She had this speculation, but she didn’t expect that it was really her mother-in-law that night. Cicely lowered her eyes and said softly, “I couldn’t sleep because you haven’t been intimate for three

years. Especially this year, I have been feeling more and more physically weak. Out of frustration, I did this. I was afraid that you would blame me, so I never dared to say anything. Everything seemed normal in front of me, and I thought there was nothing wrong, until you started talking about divorce…” Speaking of this, Cicely looked at Claudia and said, “Claudia, Edmond has never done anything to hurt you, and Abel’s father is not him, it’s Tristen…” “I knew…” Claudia apologetically interrupted her. The mother-in-law thought that there was only Rosalie between them, but their complicated relationship had long ceased to be about Rosalie. Thinking about Edmond’s questioning, Claudia’s heart ached faintly. If he had known the truth about their marriage, he would not have 17.20 40 Vouchers forgiven her, just like she couldn’t forgive him for once helping Rosalie.

She could allow him not to like her, but she couldn’t accept that he, as her husband, completely sided with Rosalie. Thinking about how Grandma died under mysterious circumstances, Claudia’s eyes welled up with tears. She couldn’t bear to look at her mother-in-law’s expression and said softly, “Mother-in-law, we are getting divorced.” Divorced, there was no going back anymore… Cicely opened her mouth and her face turned even paler. She knew Claudia’s meaning, she didn’t want to remarry, and she had no intention of forgiving Edmond. Cicely’s face remained unchanged, but bitterness welled up in her heart. It was truly a doomed fate… Edmond’s expression was clear and his face was as cold and indifferent as ice. Claudia didn’t care, didn’t care about him, and cared even less about his past and future.

She only cared about the people and things she wanted to care about. Edmond’s gaze drifted lightly to her stomach, his lips curling into a cold smile. “Yes, we are divorced. There’s no need to bring up the past.” He withdrew his hand after speaking. This attitude made Cicely pause for a moment, and she glared at him with a look of disappointment, “Don’t think that I didn’t know that you thought she had plotted against you back then. Now that you know the truth, you should apologize to Claudia immediately!” Claudia coughed and quickly turned her face away, saying, “It’s okay, it’s all in the past.” She never expected her mother-in-law to bring up this matter in public. If we continue to pursue this way, both of them will feel embarrassed. Her tone was gentle, avoiding his gaze, with a hint of slight nervousness in her voice. Edmond’s eyes darkened, and he pursed his lips in silence. He did misunderstand her for many days because of this matter, and later she simply proposed a divorce to demonstrate her innocence. On the contrary, it was him who kept holding onto this matter. “Sorry.” His voice was h oar se, and the scorching breath intertwined in her ear. Upon hearing his apology, Claudia’s heart fluttered slightly and her eyes welled up with tears. When she first got married to him, she had hoped for a progress in their relationship and had even prepared herself for sacrifice. However, she didn’t expect that he would always respect her and most of the time sleep in separate rooms. Perhaps it was because of this that the mother-in-law couldn’t bear to watch anymore. Actually, that night she was also a victim. She explained multiple times, but he didn’t believe her. Fortunately, now we have a baby, so it’s not too much of a loss. Afraid that her mother-in-law might bring up another topic, Claudia stood up and said, “I have something else to attend to, so I’ll leave now. By the way, Cicely, I’ll pick up Abel tonight. If there’s anything else, feel free to contact me anytime.”

She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, her mother-in-law would reveal her pregnancy. Cicely was somewhat surprised to hear her say that she would pick up Abel, but in the end, she nodded with relief and said, “Thank you for doing that.” “Abel didn’t need you to pick him up.’ Suddenly, Edmond’s voice sounded, and Claudia was startled. Edmond thought about the call Everett made to him. It was said that Abel called Rogelio, and Claudia was the one who asked Abel to make the call. Although Abel ultimately gained the upper hand, fighting in school is not a good atmosphere. “Edmond, why did you stop Claudia when she was trying to approach you!” Cicely was truly angry this time. She thought her son was just straightforward, but now it seems he is -simply a male chauvinist. “Claudia, don’t listen to him, if you want to go pick up Abel, go ahead and pick him up.” Claudia remainèd silent, in fact, she didn’t want to go either, but she had promised Abel to listen to his secret. She didn’t expect Edmond to resist so much. “Did you instigate Abel to fight with Rogelio today?” Edmond squinted his eyes and coldly questioned. Instigate? Claudia’s lip twitched. “What’s going on?” Upon hearing this, Cicely sat up straight, sounding a bit anxious. She looked at Claudia and asked, “Did Abel get into a fight? With whom? Who started it?” “Abel was the first to throw a punch, and I told him to do it,” Claudia’s lips curled into a smile, her face filled with calmness. “That person verbally attacked him, and I suspect he has also hired someone to beat him up in private, but you guys didn’t know about it.” Cicely’s face changed, and Edmond furrowed his brow. “You must have noticed that he was resistant to going to kindergarten because there were people at school waiting to bully him. Just when Rogelio started bullying him, I saw it and let Abel fight back once.”

She did not think she was wrong. Especially when faced with such violence, she advocated fighting back instead. Hearing her say this, Edmond’s suspicions were suppressed. Cicely, who heard these words, thought about Abel’s recent resistance to kindergarten and became so angry that she trembled all over. “I can’t believe that a prestigious school like theirs can produce such a child. Edmond, you must investigate this matter thoroughly. I will not allow Abel to be mistreated in any way.” She turned to Claudia and grabbed her hand, saying, “You did the right thing. When faced with such a situation, you should fight back. It’s your turn to pick up Abel tonight.” Claudia nodded and was about to take a step to leave when she noticed that Edmond was also walking alongside her. Cicely quickly said to Edmond in a cold voice, “You stay, I have something to say to you.” Edmond’s footsteps halted as he watched Claudia’s figure recede, his eyes darkening. The sun was setting, and outside the Wyvernport International Kindergarten, luxury cars were crowded. In the classroom, children were being taken away one by one, while Abel sat in a small corner, attentively reading a storybook. “Abel, your parents came to pick you up.” Upon hearing the kindergarten teacher’s words, Abel joyfully slung his small backpack over his shoulder and dashed toward the door, spreading his feet wide. Upon seeing the newcomer, Abel’s footsteps came to a halt. “Abel!” Rosalie walked briskly over and warmly embraced him. “Do you miss mommy?” Abel’s small body stiffened for a few seconds, and finally he gently pushed her away, saying, “Why did you come?” Not that person… 80.94% 17:30 Abel’s face quickly fell.

Rosalie’s smile froze, and her tone quickly turned cold, “Then who do you want?” Abel’s small mouth tightened into a straight line. Seeing Abel like this, Rosalie’s chest heaved and her face turned pale and then green. She received the news that Abel had a fight with someone, and the person who instigated him to fight was called Claudia. Abel was her last hope and must never be influenced by women like Claudia! She disregarded the doctor’s warning and secretly ran out to pick up Abel, only to find out that Abel preferred that woman to come and pick him up.
