Let’s Divorce Mrs. Wright Is Done Playing Nice novel Chapter 19

Chapter 19

Evan had originally planned to go see Stella that night.

But Summer’s condition kept fluctuating, and he ended up staying by her side again and again. It was not until two in the morning that her state finally stabilized.

Summer looked at Evan with guilt in her eyes.

“Evan, I’m sorry. I keep putting you in a difficult position. I didn’t mean to-”

Before she could finish the word sorry, Evan cut her off coldly.

“Steven is dead,” he said. “There’s nothing left of him. Not even a body.”

The look in his eyes was just as cold.

Summer froze.

“…What?”

Dora, who was already exhausted, stiffened as well.

The moment Evan said it, Dora’s heart lurched. She shot up from her chair.

“Evan, what are you doing?” she snapped. “Why would you tell her this now?”

She turned anxiously toward Summer.

Summer’s face drained of color, inch by inch.

Panic surged through Dora. She rushed forward and pulled Summer into her arms.

“Summer, don’t listen to him. That stupid boy is talking nonsense. Steven, he-”

Evan interrupted her again, his tone icy and precise.

“Six months ago. A plane crash. No survivors. No remains.”

Dora exploded.

“What are you doing? Are you trying to kill her?”

In her arms, Summer’s body began to tremble. Her face was paper white.

Dora was terrified now.

“Summer, don’t listen to him. Don’t listen to that nonsense.”

Evan said flatly, “Accept reality. He is never coming back.”

Dora stared at him in disbelief.

What the hell was wrong with him?

Summer’s face grew paler and paler, until it almost seemed translucent. Her eyes filled with fear and helpless disbelief.

“No… no,” she whispered. “He’s not dead. He’s here. He’s always been here Steven… Steven…”

Her voice broke, and then she started crying uncontrollably.

“I want to find Steven,” she sobbed. “I want to find him.”

She began struggling wildly, trying to get up. If Dora had not grabbed her, she would have thrown herself off the bed.

“Summer, calm down,” Dora pleaded. “You-”

“I want to find my Steven. Steven. Steven.”

“Don’t move,” Dora cried. “You’ll tear your stitches again.”

Just thinking about her wound reopening made Dora’s heart ache.

She turned and screamed at Evan, “Are you satisfied now? Do you really want her to follow your brother to the grave?”

Evan said nothing.

His gaze remained fixed on Summer.

From the moment he spoke those words, he had been watching every subtle change in her expression. Watch her emotions spiral out of control.

Finally, he called for the doctor.

Another hour passed in chaos before Summer was finally sedated and calmed.

After settling her to sleep, Dora stepped out of the room.

She glared at Evan, who was leaning against the cold wall, his expression frozen.

“Why would you do this to her?” she demanded. “Your brother is dead, and she endured pregnant alone.

“She just gave birth. She only wanted to see your face a little longer. What’s wrong with that?”

Dora was a woman herself. She knew how hard pregnancy was. She understood why Summer

Steven’s death.

not accept

She also knew Summer was confused, that she had begun mistaking Evan for Steven.

But so what?

Steven was gone, but he left a child behind. Summer was loyal and devoted. Could they not give he little more time to recover?

“She has to face reality sooner or later,” Evan said quietly. “Me showing up in front of her like this isn t right.”

“And this is the time to force her to face it?” Dora shot back. “She just gave birth. She’s at her weakest.”

Evan frowned.

“Then when? After her discharge? And then you’ll say the baby is too young?”

They had already agreed. Once Summer gave birth, things would change.

Dora’s breath caught.

“You’re really that impatient?”

Already furious, she felt even angrier at how relentlessly he was pushing this.

“I get it now,” she said bitterly. “This is about Stella, isn’t it?

“She knows what state Summer is in. Besides, what could possibly be going on between you and Summer? What is she making such a fuss about?”

Thinking about how Stella had turned everything upside down since yesterday only made Dora angrier.
