Divorcing My Husband Over His Stepsister's Secret novel Chapter 179

Anna’s POV:

I went with Maxwell to a nearby restaurant.

Maxwell stabbed at his dessert with precise movements, the small silver spoon glinting under the restaurants soft lighting 1 watched him, my man megheny mousse untouched, stomach too knotted to eat.

“Just have something first,” Maxwell said, gesturing to my plate. We can talk after.”

Tell me what you want to say,” I replied flatly. Then I’ll know if I can stomach this meal.”

His eyebrows rose slightly. “Anna, when did we become so formal with each other?

“We haven’t, Maxwell. My tone remained cool.

He set down his spoon, blue eyes studying me. I hear Seth’s been spending a lot of time with you lately. I always thought you two weren’t close. And correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t you married to Blake?”

“You and Blake are good friends. Surely you know we’re divorced.”

Surprise flickered across his face. “Since when? At the last family gathering, you and Blake were-

“Maxwell, I cut him off, “if you’re curious about Blake and me, you should ask him directly.”

I took a small bite of the mousse. “This raspberry dessert is excellent. The texture is perfect. You used to love these as a kid, didn’t you?”

He nodded, seemingly appreciative of my attempt to change the subject. “Yes. Simple desserts. I thought you’d like it too.”

He paused, then continued with a different tone. “You know, I still see you as that little girl who used to follow Seth around. So those childhood games don’t really mean anything, Anna.”

So this is about Seth after all.

“In my mind,” Maxwell continued, “Seth is still a child too. Never thinks about consequences.”

I straightened in my chair. “Maxwell, Seth and I are both old enough to take responsibility for our actions. You don’t need to worry about that.”

He sighed, spreading his hands on the table. “My wife’s health isn’t good. I need to take care of her. And with the pressure of managing Price Group, I need family support. I need Seth.”

I waited, sensing there was more.

“Anna, I had planned to introduce Seth to someone suitable, from a good family. Someone he could marry when he was ready to settle down. His gaze hardened. “But unfortunately, you’re now divorced.”

My jaw clenched. I could feel heat rising to my cheeks

Maxwell noticed my expression change but pressed on. “Seth missed his chance with you when you were kids. I don’t think his time has come now. You two aren’t compatible.”

He leaned forward. “Besides, Seth is no match for Blake–not in business, not in matters of the heart. Blake cares about you, and you care about him. In the end, my impulsive brother will be the one getting hurt.”

Blake cares about me? What a fucking joke!

I stood up abruptly, causing silverware to/clatter against the table. “I don’t think we’re close enough for you to discuss my love life,” I said, my voice shaking slightly.
