Melanie glanced at the rearview mirror and saw a black Audi Q7 trailing them.
“Preston, pull over to the side of the road for a moment.”
Preston glanced at her without asking any questions.
“Alright.”
Melanie’s car slowly came to a stop on the shoulder. The black Audi Q7 that had been following them also stopped.
Melanie recognized the person who got out of the car. She got out as well and walked over to him.
“If you needed to talk to me, you could have just called instead of tailing my car.”
Gavin looked embarrassed at being called out so directly.
“Well… I wasn’t intentionally following you…”
“Then what? You’re also heading to Family Court for a divorce?”
Melanie’s sarcastic tone made Gavin even more awkward. He wasn’t even married, so how could he be getting a divorce?
In truth, Gavin was following Melanie partly on Dominic’s orders. Dominic wanted to know if Melanie would make any mistakes now that she was about to divorce him, which he could then use as leverage. Gavin himself was also curious about what had driven Melanie to push things this far with Dominic.
“Melanie, Dominic loves you.”
Gavin’s sudden declaration made Melanie laugh.
“He was out of his mind when he loved Evelyn before, mistaking gratitude for love… Now he regrets it and genuinely wants to build a life with you… Can’t you just give him another chance?”
“So… you’re so desperate to divorce Dominic because of this pretty boy?” Gavin asked, acting as if he was defending Dominic.
Melanie took a deep breath. Nathaniel thought so, and now Gavin thought so too.
Just as Melanie opened her mouth to argue, Preston, who was beside her, suddenly spoke.
“Wasn’t it because Dominic betrayed their love and marriage first?”
Gavin’s face changed. Preston stared at him, his dark eyes like an abyss, sending a chill down one’s spine. His voice was steady, his expression calm, and his entire presence exuded an unflappable composure that was terrifyingly oppressive.
Even though he wasn’t the one who had cheated on Melanie, Gavin felt a strange sense of guilt.
“Dominic was the one who cheated with his adopted sister. Dominic was the one who fathered a child out of wedlock. Dominic was the one who played the victim while trying to trick Melanie into raising his illegitimate daughter… So how did Melanie asking for a divorce become her fault?”
