Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband? novel Chapter 70

Now that Mila was contemplating divorce, the question of Adrian's custody loomed heavily over her.

Mila could sense what her grandaunt Jade was thinking. She had often imagined that if their strained relationship ever improved, she would take Adrian to visit Jade.

But now...

Jade had never been fond of Lysander, so Mila could muster the courage to tell her about his infidelity, and Jade would likely accept it.

However, admitting that Adrian harbored resentment towards her and favored Lysander's affair partner was something Mila couldn't bring herself to say.

How could she possibly explain that?

To confess that the child she had carried for nine months, whom she had risked her life to bring into the world, preferred Lysander's mistress and even wanted her as a mother?

To reveal her intention to relinquish custody?

Jade might not be able to handle it; she wasn't young, and their relationship had only just begun to mend.

"Grandaunt," Mila chose her words carefully, "let's not rush things with Adrian. Lysander and I haven't even settled the division of assets."

Jade, well-versed in the intricacies of high society, understood that both marriages and divorces were complicated affairs, especially when it came to dividing wealth. She decided not to press the issue of custody further but suggested Mila find time to bring Adrian over for a visit.

Mila replied, "...Okay."

...

Jade then picked up a portfolio from the table, steering the conversation to more pressing matters.

"I've reviewed your work over the years. Not bad. Your craftsmanship hasn't declined, and your creativity is still intact. It seems you haven't neglected your talent after all."

On this point, she was genuinely satisfied.
