Countdown to My Divorce

“Lonly spent time with you because it was convenient,” Tyler said te suddenly let out a soff chuckle. His voice was deep and pleasant, but Yvette still caught the unmistakable note of mockery “You’re Melanie’s biological daughter, aren’t you?”

Yvette felt like his words had shattered her soul. Her expression wint blank, and even her neck stiffened as she furned to look at him.

“yler, what do you mean by that? I don’t understand.”

Tyler must’ve been in a generous mood today. He actually bothered to speak more than usual. On any other day, he would’ve been long gone.

He retrieved a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, pulled one out with his lips, and lit it with a flick of his lighter. Smoke swirled around his face, making him appear somewhat mysterious.

“Even Rachel, who’s only an adopted daughter, knows how to care about your mother. And you, her actual daughter? You’ve done absolutely nothing. All you ever think about is marrying rich, isn’t that right?”

Yvette’s expression went rigid as if she’d turned to stone. It felt like someone had a vice grip on her heart, and she couldn’t breathe.

With the last bit of reason she had left, she tried to defend herself.

“That’s not true, Tyler. I did bring it up with Grandpa. My mom abandoned the family years ago to chase some research project. I’m just some girl they brought back from the countryside. I didn’t have a say in anything.”

She looked up at Tyler carefully, afraid of pushing him further. Her voice grew softer with each word.

But Tyler didn’t seem to take her explanation seriously. He gave a disinterested hum in response.
