What She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 425

Finnian forced a smile and explained, "No, it's just a coincidence. Let's go down and find Mom, okay?"

"Okay! Why is Mom eating with Mr. Quinn? Are they talking about work?" Brynlee's little mind couldn't quite grasp the complex romantic entanglements of adults, so she made innocent guesses.

"Yeah, probably," Finnian nodded, his mind racing.

"Mom!" Brynlee wriggled out of Finnian's grip and dashed joyfully toward Kaia.

Kaia was in the middle of discussing the restaurant's menu with Simon when she heard the familiar voice. She turned around to see her daughter running happily toward her.

"Brynlee, what are you doing here?" Kaia asked in surprise. Then, she spotted Finnian standing by the staircase, his arms crossed over his chest.

"Mom, are you and Mr. Quinn talking about work?" Brynlee asked curiously, then turned to greet Simon. "Hi, Mr. Quinn!"

Simon had also noticed Finnian lurking nearby. He offered Brynlee a warm smile. "Have you eaten yet? Do you want to eat with us?"

Brynlee looked back at Finnian in the distance, then shook her head. "I won't interrupt you and Mom talking about work. But I want Mom to take me to the bathroom."

Kaia stood up immediately. "Sure, Mom will take you."

Watching Kaia lead their daughter toward the restrooms, Finnian finally marched over to the booth.

Simon looked a bit uncomfortable as he approached. He had no idea Kaia and Finnian were divorcing, so he still viewed Finnian as her legitimate husband. Being caught out to dinner with another man's wife made him feel undeniably guilty.

"Did she tell you everything?" Finnian demanded out of nowhere, the moment he reached the table.

Simon looked completely bewildered, not even having a chance to ask what Finnian meant.

Finnian let out a harsh scoff. "She signs the divorce papers in the morning, and by nightfall, she's having a candlelit dinner with an old flame. She really knows how to manage her schedule efficiently."

"What..." Simon, who had been feeling guilty seconds ago, was stunned by the revelation Finnian had just handed him on a silver platter. "You're getting divorced?"
