My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 2845

Chapter 2845

"Oh, so now you're scared?" Dillion remarked, his expression brimming with disdain.

He was displeased at how Karen was so stupid and stubborn that she refused to even own up to her mistakes in the past.

Karen's face blanched, becoming as pale as a sheet. It was evident that she was afraid of someone overhearing their conversation. Deep down, however, she was simply unhappy with Benjamin's decision.

"Don't you dare mention this anymore. I've said this before and I'll say it again. If you've had enough of the comforts of this place, you can leave."

And after pausing for a moment, Dillion warned, "Don't get me in trouble."

He had truly accepted the situation for what it was now. His only hope was for Preston to have a comfortable life free of worries. In his view, fighting for more out of nothing but unbridled greed was an exercise in pointlessness, so there was no need for him to invite more trouble to himself.

"Mom, if you really don't want to stay here, I can find a place for you. I can't and won't promise the things you want out of me, though. Please don't think about it anymore." Preston advised.

Karen gritted her teeth in frustration, and she glanced over at Dillion, who remained silent.

Left with no other option, she relented. "Fine. I'll stay."

Karen felt that it would be better for her to stick around in the confines of the mansion with all of its comforts. Even if Preston was willing to get a house for her, she did not wish to live alone.

"Since you've decided to stay, you better behave yourself from here on out," Dillion warned once again, believing that Karen just could not seem to learn from her mistakes.

"Listen Mom and Dad. It's getting late. You should get some sleep. I'm leaving," Preston informed before breathing a sigh of relief.

The harmony and unity the family currently enjoyed was hard -earned after years of senseless infighting and feuds, so he hoped it would remain this way for many more years to come.

Still dissatisfied, Karen issued a sigh as she watched Preston disappear from view. "Why cant Preston be more like us?"

To Karen, their fate today would have been different had Preston taken after even a modicum of their ambitious nature.
