Divorced My Cheating Husband, Married A Billionaire novel Chapter 13

Adrian paused. His brows met before he replied, "Really?" A scoff left his lips, and he muttered, "Stupid Brian Martin. Bad for him, good for me."

"Still, let the judge know it is also my wish," Adrian instructed.

"Yes, Sir," Clint answered. "Judge Miller will approve the divorce as quick as possible."

The other night at Halliport General Hospital, Brian arrived in Claire's hospital room. He was surprised to see Claire's mother, Mara.

"Good evening, Mara," Brian greeted.

"Oh, Brian." Mara smiled. She said, "You can call me mother since you and Claire will marry soon."

"Ah, yes, Mother," Brian responded before hugging Mara.

He turned to Claire and kissed her cheek. Immediately, he noticed the frown on his lover's face. Brian asked, "What's going on?"

Claire glanced at her mother, and Mara reluctantly revealed, "Well, yesterday, I bumped into your ex-wife, Riley. My initial reaction was, of course, upset that she had pushed Claire and hurt the baby."

"I told her she should not have done that, and then she suddenly snapped! She said—" Mara paused, looking upset as she described, "Riley said that she would contest your divorce and ask for more money! She also said she would sue you and Claire for adultery."

"What?!" Brian reacted with a frown. The news was a complete surprise to him.

"I might have upset her when I confronted her, but I was shocked that she had those plans. Was she faking it when she agreed to divorce you, Brian?" Mara suggested.

Mara stared at the check and then at Brian. She said, "It's not enough to cover the electricity and water."

"Didn't I leave money for that, Mother?" Brian asked with his brows meeting.

"You did, but the food is costly there. We ended up using the money," Mara said.

"Oh, right," Brian frowned. He was sure he left five thousand dollars last week. However, he had a lot of money to give. He also acknowledged that the condo building was surrounded by high-end restaurants and supermarkets.

This time, instead of a check, Brian gave Mara an ATM. He said, "You can use this card. It has twenty thousand dollars. Use it for your necessities while Claire and I are still in the hospital."

Claire's mother had a big smile on her face. She was teary-eyed as she said, "Thank you, Brian. You are a very generous son-in-law."
