Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 420

Chapter 420: Chapter 420: Divorce

After calming Joanne White down, Sean Sutton left the bedroom and walked into the living room. He saw Margaret Adler sitting on the sofa, staring blankly into space, her expression numb. It was impossible to tell what she was thinking.

When she saw Sean Sutton approaching, Margaret Adler suppressed the bitterness in her heart and said coldly, "What, are you done in there?"

Sean Sutton’s brow furrowed. He replied, displeased, "Margaret, do you really have to talk like that? Joanne had a scare with the pregnancy. I was just comforting her. Is all this necessary?"

Margaret Adler scoffed and sneered, "Is that right? Just a little ’comforting’... that took you straight into the bedroom."

Sean Sutton didn’t argue. He just said in a grave tone, "Margaret Adler, are you blaming me for cheating? Don’t forget, you’re the one who brought her into this house!"

His words were like a knife, twisting viciously in Margaret Adler’s heart. She felt a sharp pang of pain.

’That’s right. She was the one who brought Joanne White here...’

’She had let the wolf into her own home. She had brought this all on herself!’

The moment she recalled how she had so happily brought Joanne White to the Sutton estate, hoping she would bear a child for the family, Margaret Adler wanted to laugh. ’I must be the biggest joke in the world!’ she thought.

Well, now Joanne White was indeed pregnant. She could indeed bear a child for the Sutton family and continue their line. The only problem was, the child she was carrying belonged to her husband, Sean Sutton!

At this thought, Margaret Adler suddenly covered her face and began to laugh quietly.

As she laughed, tears began to stream down her face uncontrollably...

’The Advent Sect, Mr. Caelus... they’re all just a bunch of liars!’ she thought.

’I’m never believing in that nonsense ever again!’

’The marriage she had painstakingly built for over twenty years... ruined by a bunch of frauds.’

Watching Margaret Adler laugh and cry like this, Sean Sutton felt his disgust grow. He thought she was becoming just as unhinged as Ethan Sutton.

He thought for a moment before saying gravely, "That’s enough. Mr. Caelus said Joanne could solve our family’s dilemma, and she has. The Suttons will have an heir now. So just stop making a scene!"

Margaret Adler said nothing in response to Sean Sutton’s words.

She just covered her face and wept quietly.

The living room fell silent, the only sound being Margaret Adler’s choked, intermittent sobs.

Listening to Margaret’s crying, Sean Sutton’s mind drifted back to the sight of Joanne White leaning against his chest just moments before.

A faint blush had crept onto Joanne’s pale face. She had looked up at him with shimmering eyes and told him that she was so happy in his arms that she couldn’t cry even if she wanted to.

Recalling the sight of Joanne, a smile uncontrollably touched Sean Sutton’s lips.

Whatever little guilt he had begun to feel toward Margaret vanished. He now only saw her as someone who cried and caused scenes too often. For a woman her age, she wasn’t nearly as mature as a young woman like Joanne.

’If a marriage deteriorates to nothing but tears and drama, what’s the point of it anymore?’

Just as Sean Sutton’s patience began to wear thin, Margaret Adler’s emotions slowly stabilized.

Still covering her face, she spoke softly. "Fine. I promise you, I won’t make things difficult for Joanne White. But you have to promise me that you’ll send her away after the baby is born."

’Things have already come to this,’ Margaret thought. ’There’s no use in fighting anymore.’

’Fortunately, she and Sean still had a long life ahead of them. As long as Joanne left, Sean would eventually forget her. And she would find a way to slowly remove the thorn that had been driven between them.’
