From Wife to Aunt: His Worst Nightmare novel Chapter 72

I instantly avoided meeting Steve's gaze and stopped asking him questions, fearing I would expose myself.

He didn't give me a clear answer either. I couldn't help but feel disappointed.

I had waited for a long time for the medical device to finally reach the market. Only then would I show my hand to Steve.

Whether he wanted the divorce or not, I would finally have the freedom to stand up to him and walk away.

But now, it seemed that I had to wait for a while longer…

After a couple of days in the hospital, my stomach was almost fully recovered.

Steve didn't stay to take care of me every day at the hospital. It seemed the issue preventing the medical device from being released was quite serious.

He spent nearly every day at the company dealing with it.

Maria, on the other hand, was in a great mood. As she took care of me, she hummed a little song. "Mrs. Griffin, I think Mr. Griffin's interest in that evil vixen has already faded. She and that child of hers have moved away! Mr. Griffin still knows, deep in his heart, who his real wife is."

I plastered a smile on my face.

That house no longer belonged to me, and Steve was already tainted.

Who stayed in that house or who moved out no longer had anything to do with me.

However, Maria thought I was as happy about the matter as she was.

The day I was discharged from the hospital, she even suggested that I ask Steve if I could restore the master bedroom to its initial look.

I asked expressionlessly, "Why?"

Maria looked at me in surprise and asked, "Don't you want to move back in? Their things are still there. I wouldn't want them to upset you. But without Mr. Griffin's orders, we don't dare move anything."

I said evenly, "It's fine. If he didn't give you the order, don't go through the trouble. Plus, I'm fine with staying in the guest room."

Maria froze, her expression filled with confusion.

I understood that Maria came from an earlier time when women thought it was fine if men had some fun with women outside the family. As long as he knew he had a real family and would eventually return to them, everything would be fine.

I didn't blame her for it.

Back home, Maria tried to relieve the tension between Steve and me. With a smile, she said, "Mrs. Griffin, Mr. Griffin called to let me make more nourishing food for you to nourish your body. I'll make any dish you like. You don't have to only eat vegetarian dishes anymore."

I found it all ironic.

Maria was overjoyed, acting as though this were a gift from Steve himself.

But this "gift" had only been given to me after I had suffered again and again.
