The Divorce That Brought Us Back novel Chapter 42

The old man of the Sinclair family was someone who loved to cause a fuss.

He would try winter swimming in the dead of winter, only to get a leg cramp and nearly drown in the river.

He would rush out deep-sea fishing in the peak of summer, only to get caught in a typhoon and nearly fail to make it back.

During the winter swimming incident, Nora's uncle saved Alistair's life, and the two families arranged a childhood engagement between them.

During the sea fishing trip, Alistair and Silas Jameson went out on the ocean together. Facing monstrous waves, the two elders swore a blood oath right then and there, becoming sworn brothers.

The friendly relationship between the Sinclair and Jameson families continued into their parents' generation.

Later, the Jamesons and Sinclairs successively moved out of The Gated Community.

Maloney stayed behind with his maternal grandparents.

Seraphina remained with her aunt's family.

Sebastian asked Maloney to look after Seraphina.

The Jameson elders and Maloney's parents also urged Maloney to spend more time with Seraphina.

At the time, the elders of both families were eager to see Maloney and Seraphina together.

After all, they had a great relationship, were close friends, grew up together, and looked like the perfect match. It would have solidified the families' bond.

Seraphina made it clear that she liked Maloney.

Only Maloney stood in opposition to everyone else.

His thoughts seemed insignificant.

Whenever anything happened to Seraphina, the Jameson parents would contact Maloney and tell him to go help; whenever they had to head home for the holidays, his parents would make Maloney take Seraphina along.

It was a deliberate attempt to create opportunities for them to foster romantic feelings.

Even though Maloney was resolute, stating clearly that he had absolutely no romantic feelings for Seraphina, his parents remained stubborn, believing that with enough time and interaction, feelings would naturally develop.
