Chloe Reed had just returned with a glass of water when she heard Judith Pierce speak, and her pretty brow instantly furrowed.
"Mom, what are you trying to say?"
Judith Pierce looked at her, then said, "Chloe, why don’t you go wash the fruit."
’She’s trying to get rid of me.’
’It must be about the divorce.’
Chloe Reed didn’t move. With a placid expression, she said, "If you’re here to talk about Walker Grant and me, then it’s better if you don’t. I’ve already told my grandmother, and she approves of the divorce."
Judith Pierce froze, looking at the older woman in astonishment.
’Shouldn’t people of her generation be against it?’
’After all, the two of them had been together for so many years.’
’How could they get divorced just like that?’
The grandmother wore a kind, gentle smile. She nodded and said, "I’m Chloe’s grandmother. I support any decision she makes."
For a moment, Judith Pierce was at a loss for words.
But the thought of what that boy of hers had said made her let out a sigh.
"Ma’am, to be honest, this is exactly what I came to talk about. I just feel it would be such a shame for them to separate. Those two kids put in so much effort to be together, and now they want to divorce. Wouldn’t all that effort have been for nothing?"
But the grandmother said, "They worked hard in the past because they loved each other. Now they’re separating because they no longer do. Nothing was wasted. Life moves forward, and you can’t look back."
Judith Pierce: "..."
’Fine.’
’There was nothing she could do.’
Chloe Reed had been tense at first, but her body relaxed upon hearing her grandmother’s words.
