Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO

Chapter 105

Blake’s POV

I rarely saw Audrey this cold, this distant. The woman standing before me in William’s hospital room was practically a stranger, her eyes devoid of the warmth they once held for me.

I felt myself freeze for a moment, anger flashing through me before I could suppress it. “I just want to talk about Thalia

outside!”

After all we’ve been through as husband and wife, is she really this guarded around me?

Audrey glanced between William and Felix, her smile barely there. “If it’s about Thalia, you can speak freely. No strangers

here.”

Her casual dismissal felt like a deliberate provocation. Felix wasn’t a Parker, but he’d grown up with me and was Thalia’s childhood friend. Years ago, Thalia had even pursued him, and when I was too busy to handle my business, Felix had often offered to help. Felix knew exactly what Thalia was like; there was no need for discretion around him.

Still, her words made my brow furrow deeply.

“Just say what you need to say,” Audrey continued, looking directly at me, her tone calm but distant. The challenge în her eyes was unmistakable.

Noticing my hesitation, grandfather snorted from his hospital bed. “What’s the secrecy for? We’re all family.

Felix chuckled awkwardly, glancing between us. “Blake, do you need me

to step out?”

With things having reached this point, I couldn’t insist any further. I felt my shoulders tense slightly. “No, just stay.”

I glanced at Audrey, feeling a storm of emotions I couldn’t quite name. “It’s nothing much. I just wanted to ask you how many problems you’ve solved for Thalia over the years, and how much money you’ve spent.”

Audrey raised an eyebrow. “Too many to count.” She met my gaze directly. “As for money–whatever was charged to your black card went to her problems.”

I felt myself freeze, disbelief washing over me. “The card I gave you… you used it
