Falling For My Mysterious Wife by Cassidy Alfaro novel Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Elaina came out of the local court with the divorce certificate that she had just obtained.

“Mrs. Halton… No, sorry. Ms. Gainsford.” Takvor Rigdon, the housekeeper, looked a little embarrassed. “Mr. Nitzan wants you to take this.”

Nitzan Halton was Jalen’s grandfather. After finishing speaking, Takvor handed over a bank card. The implication was obvious.

Elaina was stunned for a second before saying, “No need. Thank him for me. He has been taking care of me for the past two years, and for that, I’m grateful.”

After saying that, she walked straight to the street and sat in the black Maybach that had been parked there for a long time.

Inside the black Maybach, Elaina looked at the two men and felt a little helpless. “Theodore, Andrew, it’s just a divorce. Do you have to be this nervous?”

“Ella, did you divorce him?” Andrew Chapman, the driver, looked back at her and still found it hard to believe.

Elaina nodded and said with a smile, “See? The divorce certificate is right here. I just got it.”

Then she took out the divorce certificate from her bag and waved it in front of them.

“Good for you!” Andrew grinned. “You should have divorced him a long time ago.

“No, wait. Let me rephrase. You shouldn’t have married him from the beginning!” he said.

Elaina glanced at Andrew and quickly said, “Andrew, focus on driving, OK? I just have a fresh start. I don’t want it to end so soon.

“Besides, what’s so good about getting a divorce? Why are you so happy?”

She thought, don’t others always want a couple to patch things up? Why do I have the feeling that Andrew and Theodore want me to get a divorce?

“Of course, I am happy.”

Andrew nodded and looked at the man in the back seat who had been silent the whole time. “And I’m not the

only one who is happy. Theodore is happy as well.”

Sensing that Elaina was looking at him, Theodore Murphy nodded. “Andrew is right. You shouldn’t have

married him in the first place.”

Elaina sighed and felt a little helpless, “Grandpa wanted this. You know it. I wouldn’t go against his will.”

At the mention of their grandpa, both Andrew and Theodore fell silent for a moment. Then Andrew said with

a bit of bitterness, “What was Grandpa thinking? Why did he want you to marry Jalen, that bastard?

“You were married for two years. He completely ignored you. What an asshole!”

If Elaina hadn’t stopped him, he would have already taught Jalen a lesson.

Compared with Andrew, Elaina was much calmer. “It was fine. Our roads have never crossed these years. He has never been to the Halton’s Residence. I don’t think he even knows what I look like.”

She thought, come to think of it, it’s kind of funny. We were married for two years, and we should have been the most intimate people in the world. Yet we never saw each other. Other women would have found it

unacceptable.

Well, not me. We didn’t marry because of love. I was to fulfill my grandpa’s last wish, and he was forced by his

grandpa. Neither of us was happy.

“If I had known that he was such a bastard, I wouldn’t have let you marry him no matter what,” Andrew

complained again. He was obviously very angry with Jalen.

“I blame Grandpa. If he really wanted you to marry someone, why couldn’t that someone be me?” he smiled.

Then he said, “Or Theodore could also do the trick. Any of us is better than that bastard Jalen.”

Elaina was speechless for a second.

Then she said helplessly, “Andrew, stop teasing me, OK? How can someone marry her brother?” What was

Andrew thinking?

Andrew did not care, however. “We are not related by blood. Why can’t we get married?”
