What She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 411

Kaia finally looked up at the matriarch. "Grandmother, I'm sorry, they..."

"You don't need to hide it from me," Josephine said, raising a hand. "I've lived for seventy years. I can see what's right in front of me. The moment you arrived with only Brynlee, I knew."

Kaia lowered her gaze and took a sip of her tea.

"You and Finnian... when are you planning to finalize the divorce?"

At this point, Kaia saw no reason to hide the truth. "I've already handed him a divorce agreement. He hasn't signed it yet."

Josephine's eyes darkened with a complex mix of heartache, reluctance, and sorrow. "Is it because he hasn't been a good husband, or do you suspect he betrayed your marriage?"

Kaia hesitated. After all, Josephine was Finnian's grandmother. Despite her strict lectures and constant nagging, Josephine doted on Finnian more than anyone else in the family. Because he had been raised primarily by his grandparents, their love for him was an intense blend of discipline and boundless indulgence.

If Kaia were foolish enough to sit there and list all of Finnian's faults, she would only be humiliating herself.

"Grandmother, the divorce isn't about pointing fingers. We're just incompatible. We can't make this relationship work together."

Josephine let out a faint, sad smile, remaining silent for a moment.

Outside in the courtyard, the blooming flowers swayed in the breeze, carrying a sweet, grounding scent into the room that seemed to clear their minds.

Kaia chose her next words carefully. "Grandmother, thank you for looking out for me these past seven years. You've been a wonderful mentor and family to me."

An indescribable sorrow tightened Josephine's chest. In truth, she had always admired Kaia. She saw her as a woman who possessed both feminine grace and fierce, relentless ambition—a brilliant powerhouse who reminded Josephine of her younger self. Because of that, she desperately wanted Kaia to find a happy ending.
