30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband novel Chapter 572

Watching Shania's cautious demeanor and realizing she had guessed the situation correctly, Leonora said, "To say it has nothing to do with him isn’t entirely true, but it's not what you think, Mom."

She hadn’t sorted things out with Taylor yet, and since she’d told her parents they hadn’t been dating long, she didn’t want to bring up her relationship with him now. She didn’t want them to think she was treating her love life like a game.

So, she continued, "Working in the same company isn’t ideal. I'm worried it might affect our work, and I’m also concerned about what our colleagues might say."

"Besides, I’ve been at this company since I graduated. I’m a bit tired of it and would like to change jobs. I think working at a school would be nice. If there are any vacancies, please, Mom, Dad, help me find a way to make that happen."

That was Leonora's plan. Once she was working at the school for a while, she would say they were both busy with work and didn’t see each other much, leading to an amicable split.

In short, as long as the matter didn’t blow up, it would be fine.

After hearing Leonora’s reasoning, Shania also thought it made sense.

On the sofa, Devon, who had been reading, put down his book and said, "Arielle is right to have these concerns. The administrative office mentioned being short-staffed. I'll check on Monday, and if the position is still open, your mother and I will see what we can do for you."

"Thanks, Dad." Leonora felt a weight lift off her shoulders after hearing Devon’s words.

At the moment, as long as she could leave the Ferguson Group and Taylor behind, she would be over the moon.

Not long after discussing her job with her parents, Joselyn came over, bringing Leonora a cake as a thank-you for her company and advice the other night, saying she and Dr. Fleming had reconciled.

Joselyn’s gesture made Leonora feel a bit uneasy.

It was thanks to her that she hadn’t slipped up countless times.

Hearing Joselyn's words, Shania cheerfully said, "Joselyn, you and Arielle have known each other for so many years, there's no need for formalities. Don’t be so polite next time, and there’s no need to bring anything when you come over."

"It's precisely because I'm close to Arielle and know she loves cake, that's why I brought one."

"Joselyn has always been sweet. Arielle, you should learn from her."

"I know, Mom."

"I'm going to make something delicious." Saying this, Shania, tying on her apron, headed to the kitchen.

After expressing her desire to work at a school, Devon immediately went out to make inquiries on her behalf.

So, for now, it was just the three women at home.

At twelve-thirty, when Shania called Leonora and Joselyn to lunch, Joselyn nearly drooled at the sight of the spread.

Shania had prepared lobster, chicken and potatoes, and their favorite, dumplings.

In short, the table was filled with all their favorites.

"I love Aunt Shania the most, her cooking is the best." Joselyn, grabbing a lobster with her bare hands, was as sweet as honey.

Shania, beaming with joy, kept adding more dishes to Joselyn’s plate.

After lunch, as Shania took a nap in the bedroom, Joselyn drove Leonora out.

With Shania at home, it was difficult for them to talk, so they went out.

"Arielle, are you okay?" Joselyn asked, concern in her voice as she held the steering wheel.

"I’m fine."

Before long, they parked in the department store’s underground parking lot, took the elevator up, and headed to a dessert shop.

Sitting across from each other, they each ordered their favorite sweets.

Later, they went to see a movie together until ten at night when Joselyn finally dropped Leonora off.

Leonora, she’s just too soft-hearted, too easily bullied, too agreeable.

That’s why Taylor has been able to take advantage of her for so long.

Hopefully, she'll meet someone who understands and cherishes her in the future.

Watching Joselyn's car leave the neighborhood, Leonora stood downstairs filled with emotions for a long while before finally turning to go upstairs.

Unlocking the door, Leonora hadn’t even had the chance to kick off her shoes when Devon greeted her with a smile that could light up the darkest room, saying, "Arielle, I’ve taken care of your job situation."

"The admin office hasn’t found anyone yet, and your expertise is a perfect match. You’ll come with me and your mom to the school on Monday to report in."

Hearing that her job situation was sorted, Leonora’s spirits immediately lifted from their previously lukewarm state to sheer joy, and she rushed to give her dad a hug. "Dad, I love you so much, you’re amazing."

"Alright, alright, if you keep hugging me like this, you’ll blur my vision," he joked.

Letting go of Devon with a smile plastered on her face, Leonora said, "Then I’ll go with you and Mom to the school on Monday. Don’t worry, Dad, I’ll do my best and won’t let you or Mom down."

With the prospect of a new job, Leonora’s mood was genuinely elevated.

After all, it was about time she made things clear with Taylor Grant.

It should have been done a long time ago.

If Taylor tried to make things difficult for her again, she was ready to face him head-on.

After their recent fallout, Leonora had pretty much figured out Taylor’s Achilles' heel—he feared causing a tragedy.
