Love me or leave me (Rebecca and Theodore) novel Chapter 269

An hour later, Isabella and Adrian came back from work.

The kindergarten that Damian and Ronald attended offered after-school care. If parents could not pick up their children immediately, the kindergarten would provide additional supervision for an extra hour or two until the parents finish work and could take their children home.

Because Carly was in that mansion these days, she felt that it would be better to take Ronald home and care for him rather than leave him at the kindergarten.

After that incident happened, Connor forced her to quit her job and forbade her from working outside. With no other options, she eventually taught herself to paint online. She was now a freelance illustrator, taking orders and painting from home without needing to go out and socialize with clients, yet still earning enough to support her family. Most importantly, she could also take care of her child while working.

Currently living at Isabella and Adrian's place, Carly also consciously helped them take care of Damian. She told them taking the kids home and caring for them personally would be better than leaving them at the kindergarten.

After thinking about it, Adrian and Isabella agreed to cancel the after-school care. Every day after school, Damian and Ronald would be sent home by school bus as soon as possible.

It was late, and it was time for dinner. Everyone sat down and ate together.

When dinner was over, Carly finally summoned the courage and said, "Adrian, if I want to divorce Connor, can I file for it now?"

Isabella was surprised because she didn't expect Carly to bring up the topic of divorce so quickly and proactively.

In the past, Isabella had advised Carly that if she really could not continue with Connor, it would be better to get a divorce. However, every time Isabella tried to persuade her, she never listened. 'Has Carly figured it out completely?' Isabella wondered. She was in a good mood, feeling happy for Carly.

"Anytime," Adrian answered.

Carly was stunned for a while, then she came to her senses and nodded hurriedly. "Okay."

Adrian looked at her. He was silent for a moment and then said, "Carly, I just heard that Connor came to pester you outside the residential area today?"

Isabella's expression changed when she heard that. She said anxiously, "What did you say? Connor was here?"

Adrian looked at Isabella and hurriedly comforted her, "It's okay. The guards didn't let him in."

Then Adrian looked at Carly and said, "Carly, I'll find two bodyguards for you tomorrow. It will be safer if you go out with them."

'Bodyguards?' Carly shook her head quickly upon hearing that. She said, "No, I don't need bodyguards. It will cost too much money."

Carly knew wealthy families often hired bodyguards, but she felt she didn't need one. She wanted to save the money she earned to buy a house. She and Ronald could not live with Isabella and Adrian forever. They needed their own place, their own home. Once her divorce from Connor was finalized and everything settled down, they would move out. She was currently quite short on money.
