Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 978

Honestly, I wasn’t sure.

"The original plan was to go after Matthew's case was over, but everything got mixed up. His case is done, but we still have to deal with the aftermath," I said with some concern.

"Do you really want to continue dealing with what comes after?" Lauren sounded impatient.

"No. You're right. I can't just keep being his crutch," I quickly reassured Lauren. "Don't worry. It's just Liora."

"Haha! You spared her this time. She probably feels like she’s on top of the world now," Lauren said disdainfully.

"Let her enjoy her moment," I replied nonchalantly. I understood what Atlas was doing about this since I had talked to him and learned his plans.

"My father is waiting for some news too. Once there's an update on the Bermuda Alliance, there will be no delay. I’m afraid Navi might do something. If my father becomes useless to them, neither side will spare him. Unveiling the truth about the Pierce family will become impossible then... We can't take any of this lightly."

"I think you should loosen up a bit," Lauren suggested.

"How?" I looked at Lauren and smiled. "How can I relax with all this to handle?"

After she said that, I suddenly felt a heavy sense of oppression, and I wanted to release it.

I’ll admit, I was too tightly wound.

Lauren understood.

"That's why I came back to see you. Didn’t you tell me you lifted a burden from your heart today? You've fulfilled your promise, and he can walk his own path from now on. He can make his own choices."

I knew Lauren was talking about Matthew.

But I could willingly let Matthew go. I was only dealing with the Murphy family because Ava was a Murphy.

I didn't want to wait until she grew up and be unable to answer her questions.
