Chapter 214 Marriage Alliance
Colby understood what Sean meant.
All previous talks of divorce hadn’t been taken seriously, but this time, it was.
“Have you thought things through?” Colby asked Sean.
“Yeah.” Sean replied.
Just then, Lina emerged from the kitchen, holding a fruit plate. She called out to Sean as if everything was fine. “You’re back! Come and have some fruit, Sean. The grapes are exceptionally juicy today.”
Sean, looking at her, felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness. He ascended the stairs without responding.
“Sean…” she called out again.
He didn’t even look at her.
“Who was it all for, anyway? It was all for him! Even if things turned out poorly, my intentions were good!” she lamented with reddened eyes.
Colby remained stoic as he entered the study. He didn’t want to listen to her rants.
Lina felt there was no reason to put on a show when there was no one to watch. Annoyed, she sat down on the couch and began eating grapes.
Soon, Sean came down with his luggage.

Lina quickly grabbed his hand. “Sean, think about it. Why did I do all that? It’s so you can have a family.

“I don’t want to hear this from you!” he interrupted her, his eyes filled with anger, which made her uneasy. He continued, “So what if I bought her a house? Is that
sson enough for you to go over
there and humiliate them? She’s your granddaughter-in-law, so why can’t you treat her better?” His frustration was evident, and he struggled to contain his anger.
Sean struggled to control his emotions, but Lina’s words shattered his composure. Soon, her eyes welled up with tears.
“You always say it’s for my sake. Since it’s for my sake, why won’t you listen when I say I don’t want to have children? Well, you get your wish. Abigail and I are getting a divorce-but I won’t marry anyone else. I won’t ever get married again!” He flung off his grandmother’s hand and stormed off.
Colby stood silently at the door and watched as Lina’s tears fell.
