“…Okay.”
They had to put up a good act. Besides, she had wanted to move out of her place, so she didn’t mind at all.
“I’ll bring you to meet Grandpa tomorrow.” Even though he was unwilling to accept that his grandfather could only live for half a year more, he said, “We’ll divorce half a year later. During this period, you just need to coax him and make him happy. Don’t think about anything else.”
Josie perceived the meaning of his cold words — she shouldn’t hope to remain as ‘Mrs. Russell’ for long.

Josie pouted. She had only two quarters left after paying the fees for marriage registration. So, she decided to take the public bus.
Upon arriving home, Josie could hear Jenny Turner, her mother’s voice, before entering the house because the soundproof system was terrible.

When Josie entered the house, both Jenny and Justin looked at her.

Josie rolled her eyes speechlessly. What’s so honorable about becoming a stepmother?
