Countdown to My Divorce

Rachel stayed in her room and tended to the cut on her face using the first–aid kit. What she didn’t know was that downstairs, William had already told Cassandra about Samantha’s pregnancy

The moment Cassandra heard it, her face lit up with joy.

“Really? Samantha’s pregnant? That’s wonderful! That means I’ll be holding my grandchild very soon!”

As she spoke, Cassandra immediately removed the emerald bracelet from her wrist and handed it to Samantha.

“Samantha, this is your first visit to our home, and I don’t have anything better prepared. This emerald bracelet was passed down to me from William’s grandmother.”

Samantha was startled and instinctively tried to refuse. “Oli, no, 1 can’t accept this, Mrs. Lewis. It’s far too precious. How could I? Besides, this should be something passed down to Mr. Lewis‘ wife. I really shouldn’t wear it.

“I don’t want much. I just want to be with William. I shouldn’t have gone abroad and left him behind back then. This child is the least I can do to make up for that.”

But Cassandra insisted, pulling Samantha’s hand over and slipping the bracelet onto her wrist.
