Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 949

At the supermarket, we bought a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables.

I quietly told Lauren, "I asked Atlas to find Jared."

Relieved, Lauren nodded and said, "He’s the only one who can give her the answers she wants. It doesn’t matter how hard we try. It will all be in vain if Jared doesn’t come back. We won't be able to overcome this otherwise. Who knows? If she has another mood swing, she might create more trouble."

I nodded in agreement and whispered, "Don't tell her about this. Don't give her any hope. It would be best if we could find Jared, but we shouldn’t disappoint her if we can’t. If Jared finds out about this and rushes back, it'll be a pleasant surprise for her."

Lauren solemnly agreed.

As we talked, we saw Ivanna waving at us. She pointed at a large durian and said, "Let's buy one of these to take home. I really want it."

Lauren frowned and asked, "Are you sure you want to buy that? Aren't you afraid it’ll make the room smell?"

"Let's buy it. It tastes great, and we can just open the windows to let the smell out." Ivanna had a greedy look on her face.

Lauren just rolled her eyes and said, "Buy it, then. I hope your baby won't come out smelling like durian though.”

The three of us burst into laughter.

At that moment, someone bumped into me, making me stagger.

When I turned around, I met eyes with the woman who had bumped into me. She smiled faintly and walked away without apologizing.

But that smile of hers was strange.

Her gaze was cold and mocking, and had more than a touch of ill intent.

I stood there, stunned, as I watched her walk swiftly away.

Lauren looked at me while staring at the departing figure and asked, "Who was that? Do you know her?"
