Chapter 1567
Gracie strode in, ignoring Kelvin's presence as she set the bowl of steaming chicken soup on the desk with a deliberate thud.
Kelvin's eyes flicked back and forth between her icy stare and the aromatic bowl of soup.
He could not help but grumble.
"If you are not here for a heartfelt apology, don't even bother."
Today had been nothing short of infuriating.
‘How could this woman so casually mention divorce and utter words like, "it doesn't matter whether I'm around or not"? What did she make of our love, our sacred union?"
As Kelvin's frustration simmered beneath the surface, Gracie suddenly picked up the chicken soup and downed it in one go.His eyes widened in disbelief.
‘Isn't that soup meant for me?' Gracie licked her lips, smirking at him.
"Don't get it twisted.I'm not here to apologize.I'm just bored and needed a good book to read."
With a flourish, she turned her attention to the bookshelf.
Kelvin's rage reached a boiling point, his piercing gaze fixed on her with resentment.
Gracie paid him no mind and continued to scan the shelves on her tiptoes.
Despite her search, she had not selected a book Taking a forceful drag of his cigarette, Kelvin muttered, "Find your book and leave already.Stop interrupting my work."
Gracie's smirk grew.
'Work? More like sulking and chain-smoking"
She pulled out a poetry anthology and, with a self-assured air, sat down ina chair.
"You're free to leave.I'm staying put in the study to read."
Kelvin's fury exploded like a volcano.He took a deep, shaky breath, shot up from his chair, and stormed out of the room.He had genuinely believed she had come to apologize.
Though her demeanor was cold, his heart had softened when he saw her, and his anger had begun to subside.
Little did he know, she had come only to provoke him further.
The door slammed with a deafening crash, rattling the entire room.
