Caught In His Embrace A Second Chance Romance novel Chapter 409

The door to the ward opened, and Gilbert walked in. Sienna and Rosie had met him before, so they knew each other. However, they wondered what he was doing here.

It wasn't just them who were puzzled. Gilbert was also confused. He looked around the room and asked curiously, "Is Mr. Flynn not around?"

Sienna shook her head and explained, "Howard came by, but he just left."

"He left?" Gilbert, still confused, looked at Sienna. "Hello, Ms. Shaw. We meet again so soon..." Then, he turned to Rosie. "Hello, Ms. Miller. I'm Gilbert Hardin. We've met."

"Hello, Mr. Hardin," Rosie greeted politely with a nod.

"Since Mr. Flynn isn't here, I'll explain what's going on," Gilbert said. "Mr. Flynn entrusted me with this matter. He said that you, Ms. Miller, might need my services for your divorce case. Since Mr. Flynn's not here, we can discuss it directly."

Sienna glanced at Rosie and thought, 'Howard works fast. Rosie just got her bandages removed today, and he's already brought Mr. Hardin here. I guess he really wants Rosie to end her terrible marriage.'

Sienna and Gilbert looked at Rosie, waiting for her to speak.

"Mr. Hardin, thank you for making this trip. But I will take care of the divorce myself," Rosie refused.

Sienna was startled. "Rosie."

Gilbert frowned in confusion. "Ms. Miller, are you worried about the fees? I am indeed expensive, and it would be overkill for me to handle a divorce case..."

Gilbert was quite frank. "But Mr. Flynn did me a favor. He will handle the fees, so you don't have to worry about it at all."

The more he spoke, the more resolute Rosie became in her stance. "Mr. Hardin, thank you very much. But really, you don't have to."

"Hmm..." Gilbert was stunned, not expecting to be rejected. However, he didn't force it. "As you wish, Ms. Miller. I will take my leave. If you prefer, you can discuss it with Mr. Flynn again."

"Thank you," Rosie said.

"You're welcome," Gilbert replied.

As soon as Gilbert left, Sienna grabbed Rosie's hand. She was a little anxious. "Rosie, why did you refuse? Gilbert is the best lawyer in Jeiacrity."

"I know." Rosie nodded and sighed. "I can't afford such a good lawyer myself. I already owe Howard a lot of money. I'll have to work hard to pay him back, so I might as well save where I can."

"You're doing this to save money?" Sienna asked in surprise. "But Howard's not pressuring you to pay him back." From what she knew, Howard had no plans to ask Rosie for the money.

"That's his problem, but I need to pay him back as soon as possible. I still don't understand why he's being so nice to me. It makes me feel uneasy. I'll feel much better once I've repaid him," Rosie insisted.

Sienna found herself unable to convince Rosie any further, but she remained concerned about her divorce.

"Don't worry," Rosie said with a smile. "Daniel and I have been separated for as long as we were married. Even if he hadn't cheated and been abusive, this divorce wouldn't be tough."

They had been separated for over two years. Their relationship had long since broken down, with no marital duties or conjugal relations remaining. She hadn't divorced him before simply because she still had hope for their relationship.

"That's true." Sienna nodded and helped Rosie pack her things.

"I'm sorry to have to impose on you again," Rosie said. Her rented apartment in City Pearl had long been given up. After being discharged from the hospital, she had to temporarily stay at Sienna's place.

"Don't worry about it." Sienna gave her a gentle, playful glare. "It's no big deal."

Rosie was one of Sienna's few friends in Jeiacrity. When Sienna first returned to Jeiacrity, Rosie had helped her a lot.

Rosie burst into laughter. "Still, I don't want to seem rude."
