No Divorce? The Billionaire's Love Chase! novel Chapter 30

York had no fear of Claudia leaving him. He knew she wouldn't.

But she was stubborn and prone to drama. He knew she would continue to cause trouble.

Peter ruthlessly shattered his illusion. "From what I hear, Claudia's already asked for a divorce."

York raised an eyebrow. "Darleen told you?"

Peter didn't deny it. "Buddy, you need to be careful. If Claudia really divorces you, you'll never find another woman who loves you as much as she does."

York's tone was certain. "Don't worry. You'll be six feet under before you see the day Claudia and I get divorced."

Seeing he couldn't get through, Peter changed the subject. "Seriously, this Ann. She knows you're married, yet she won't even let you explain. Doesn't that make it clear? She wants you two to split up."

York's expression hardened, his voice deepening. "Peter, don't talk about Ann like that."

Peter sat up straight. "I'm not badmouthing her, I'm stating a fact. What she's doing is clearly meant to drive a wedge between you and your wife."

York lit a cigarette, the smoke blurring his features.

After a long moment, he spoke, "Well, Ann comes from a humble background. She's just simple that way. She's simple-minded. Back then, to ensure I could inherit the Ferguson Group, my grandfather forced her to go abroad and marry someone else. She's suffered a lot for my sake over the years. I owe her."

He continued, "She was abused for years. Her health is poor, and she's developed severe depression. I have to take care of her."

Peter smirked. "Just admit it. you still have feelings for her."

Peter stared at York as if he'd seen a ghost. "So, you really have no intention of explaining things to Claudia? You're just banking on the fact that she's devoted to you, so she deserves to suffer through all this?"

York clinked his glass against Peter's. "It's not that serious."

Just then, Peter's phone rang.

Darleen's frantic voice erupted from the other end. "Peter, is my brother with you?"

Peter held the phone away from his ear. "Hey, kid, show some respect. Call me brother."

"Brother my ass! Something's happened to my sister-in-law! Get my brother home now!"
