Chapter 181

Yvonne suddenly blurted out those words, catching both Jared and me completely off guard.

Before either of us could say a word, Yvonne started walling loudly, grabbing my hand and then clutching Jared’s arm, crying, “I don’t want you to e divorced. I don’t want to be an orphan. Idon’t want people to laugh at me

frowned as I watched Yvonne crying her heart out. When looked up, I happened to catch Jared staring at me, his eyes deep and unreadable,

I warned myself not to go soft. No matter what Jared and Yvonne did, had to put myself first. Pitying them would only drag me back to the same old road I’d walked before.

“Wonne, stop crying. We aren’t getting divorced,” Jared said, unable to stand seeing his daughter so upset

He bent down, scooped her up, wiped away her tears, and kissed her cheek. “From now on, you have to listen to your mom, respect her, and be good to her, okay?”

Yvonne sniffled, gave me a pouty look, and then nodded sweetly. “Okay, I will”

Watching these two put on their little show in front of me, I couldn’t help but roll my eyes inwardly.

“It’s fine. I can go by myself,” I said, turning down his offer without hesitation.

Jared pressed his lips together, looking a little disappointed, but he didn’t insist. Holding Yvonne in his arms, he walked away.
