When Love Breaks by jack novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36

Anyway, we were on the verge of a divorce.

After dinner, Bryant joined Timothy in the backyard for a game of chess.

I was leisurely making tea on the side.

Bryant played chess with a cunning and ruthless strategy, capturing another piece, which made Timothy glare at him, “You think you’re dealing with a stranger? Not leaving any room for your old grandpa?”

“Alright then.” Bryant chuckled, and indeed started to go easy, which made Timothy quite

happy. His laughter was hearty, and with a meaningful tone, he said, “Remember, br

family and strangers are not the same.”

I handed over a cup of tea, “Timothy, have some tea.”

“Okay.” Timothy responded, taking a sip and then contentedly said, “If you two could always be this harmonious, I’d be holding my great-grandchild in no time!”

Neither of us said a word.

My heart stirred, and I instinctively placed my hand on my stomach.

Looking at Timothy’s face, which was showing signs of age, I felt a pang of guilt.

If there weren’t any rifts or issues between Bryant and me, I could have told Timothy right now that I was

pregnant, and he would be able to hold his great-grandchild very soon.

But there were no ifs. And I could only let Timothy down.

Bryant gave me a profound look, then said, “Don’t worry, I’ll do my best.”

“You better!” Grandpa patted his hand, “If it comes to it, let Emma whip up some of her special dishes to boost your strength.”

“I’m strong enough as it is.”

Perhaps due to the inherent competitive nature in men, Bryant immediately retorted.

I kept my silence.

Even though Bryant and I were on the verge of divorce, hearing this dialogue between them made my cheeks heat up instantly.

In this marriage, Bryant was quite insincere in many aspects.

But in bed, he was always genuine. If he were to “boost” his strength, I might not survive his vigor

“Then make it quick! I want to hold that baby soon!”
