Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 373

Chapter 373

Ambrose’s eyes turned cold at once. His tone hardened as he said, “This is between Belle and me, Grandma, Stay out of it,”

“And I’m not divorcing her.”

Grandma Quinn was so furious her heart ached. “You’re ruining Belle’s life! You don’t love her, so what right do you have to hold her back?”

“Give me some time. I’ll get to the bottom of this,” Ambrose said, still in that cold, detached tone. “That was my child too. I won’t let it die for nothing.”

Grandma Quinn shook her head.

She was disappointed in him.

In the end, she left him with only two words.

Too late.”

After Grandma Quinn left, Ambrose irritably patted his pockets, looking for cigarettes.

But this wasn’t a smoking area, so he turned and went downstairs alone. Once he found the smoking zone, he lit one cigarette after another,

chain–smoking until the pack was empty.

And yet the cigarettes did nothing to numb him.

His thoughts were still in chaos.

All he could see was Belle lying in that hospital bed, eyes closed, tears slipping soundlessly down her face.

The unease inside him only grew.

Lilith called again.

A call he would normally have answered right away was ignored once more.

Pressing one hand to his temples, he tried to steady himself.

Belle couldn’t afford the penalty fee. There was no way she would take the initiative to ask for a divorce.

And she cared deeply about Grandma. Treated her like family.

Even for Grandma’s sake, she wouldn’t be heartless enough to ask for a divorce,

Don’t panic, he told himself.

When Grandma Quinn returned to the room, Belle had already calmed down completely.

“My good girl, don’t be too upset,” Grandma Quinn said, holding her hand, heartbroken. “If you grieve too hard at a time like this, it’ll damage your health for life. Hurting yourself over someone who isn’t worth it–that’s even less worth it.”

Belle lowered her eyes halfway and gave a faint, bitter smile. “You’re right. He isn’t worth it.”

So she decided to tell Grandma Quinn the truth.

When Grandma Quinn learned that Ambrose and Belle had signed a contract over their marriage, she was so furious she had to clutch her chest,
