"Grandmother," Rorita said once more, "Please find someone suitable to raise the baby. Please don't let my sister-in-law raise him."
Madam Quartley understood what Rorita meant.
She then said, "I understand. I'll raise the baby myself for as long as I breathe. Before I die, I'll find a good person to look after him."
Rorita nodded and respectfully bowed at Madam Quartley.
Madam Quartley quickly held her up, "What are you doing? There's no need for all these formalities. We're talking about my great-grandson, I'm just doing what's right."
Rorita sobbed and said, "Grandmother, that's not it. I just feel terribly ashamed. I thought I could be your granddaughter for the rest of my life, but now I want a divorce."
Madam Quartley was shocked.
After a moment, she asked, "Are you sure you want to do this?"
Rorita nodded and said, "Madam Quartley, I never would have dared to see you if I wasn't."
Madam Quartley sighed deeply.
Nonsense!
This wasn't Rorita's fault!
No woman could stand Tremaine with what he was going to do!
"Rorita, you are a good woman. I won't take up anymore of your time. I will speak of this with Tremaine and get him to agree right away."
"Grandmother, I'll speak to him myself."
"Alright, go and talk to him yourself." Madam Quartley then murmured to herself, "This home is breaking up once again, it's over!"
That evening when Tremaine returned, Rorita went up to him and told him that she wanted a divorce right away.
Tremaine felt very gratified.
He had never wanted to get in Rorita's way.
Rorita wanting a divorce was for the best.
He immediately informed the relevant staff members about their divorce.
Rorita was in a daze as she held her divorce papers.
When did she marry him?
