Chapter 715
Madonna watched the exchange with a deep frown.
In her eyes, since they were inevitably headed for divorce, there was no reason for them to act so intimately.
But she couldn’t say that out loud. If she pushed Lance too far and angered him, things would only get more complicated.
Grandma cast a knowing glance at Madonna. After dinner, she ushered Nathalie out into the garden.
As they strolled to digest their meal, she asked, “Nathalie, what is going on with you and Lance?”
Confusion painted Nathalie’s face as she typed out, “What do you mean?” Grandma stared intently into her eyes. “Are you two still getting a divorce?”
Nathalie’s eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly nodded.
“Sigh… No wonder Lance’s mother is so cold to you,” Grandma murmured sadly. “Does she know you’re eventually going to separate?”
Nathalie nodded again.
Grandma looked ahead, remaining silent for a long moment before speaking. “In that case, we should move out. Lance has his mother to look after him, he’ll be fine. If you two are splitting up, I can’t just keep staying in your marital home. That wouldn’t be proper.”
Nathalie grabbed her hand, her phone immediately generating the robotic voice, “I promised to look after him until his eyes heal, Grandma. He went blind trying to save me.”
If he hadn’t lunged at her at the last second, she would have inhaled a lethal dose of poison. The consequences would have been

unimaginable.
Grandma froze, hesitating for several seconds before replying. “Well, if that’s the case, this makes things quite difficult.”
Nathalie continued typing. “Grandma, please don’t overthink this. Just rest easy and stay here. Even though Lance and I are definitely divorcing eventually, we haven’t officially signed the papers yet, right? Just pretend you don’t know a thing.”
But Grandma shook her head with a resigned smile. “How can I just pretend not to know? His mother knows, which means in her eyes, we’re just outsiders. Staying here is incredibly awkward.”
Nathalie completely understood her grandmother’s concerns, but moving out right now simply wasn’t safe.
Thinking for a moment, she typed back, “For safety reasons, we need to stay here for the time being.”
Then, she looked at her grandmother, her gaze steady and serious.
She prayed her grandmother would read between the lines.
Even though Grandma didn’t know the full story, she was incredibly sharp She had clearly deduced that something dangerous was going on, or she wouldn’t have given that earlier warning.
And since Nathalie refused to drag her into the terrifying reality of the situation, speaking in code was her only option.
Grandma studied her for a moment before patting her hand. “Alright. I understand.”
Nathalie broke into a bright smile, the tension melting from her small face.
