His Second Wife by Favor V April

I took a few steps down the stairwell to meet Mary. The woman was so cunning; it was as though she knew I would come down needing food for Camila. I noticed her spooning porridge into a bowl.

“Good morning, Mary,” I stated, and she responded with a smile.

“I bid you a pleasant morning, Mr. Grayston.” However, her smile did not make it to her ears. She then put the porridge on a tray and fixed her gaze on me. I was certain she desired to say something. “Mr. Grayson, I understand it’s none of my concern, but I think we need to talk about it,” she said, clearing her throat. I wanted to tell her to mind her own business, but then I remembered that she might be able to help me. I clasped her hand in my own.

“Follow me,” I stated, and she immediately followed. I locked my gaze on her. She was terrified, yet also resolute. “Go on.” As we sat on the couch, I remarked.

“I understand Mrs. Grayston is a young lady, but I object to the way you treat her. She’s like a daughter to me, in a way. You divorced her, but you still came here to… ” She cleared her throat and continued. “to sleep with her. You have never once considered her to be your wife, even though you have been married to her for a long time. What made you decide to do it now after you threw the divorce papers in her face? I really don’t understand you, Mr. Grayston. Don’t you think what just happened upstairs will break her even more? You’ve caused her enough pain already? I should remain silent as a mere employee, but Camila is like a daughter to me. She is more concerned about your son than you will ever be. You humiliated her so much that she even lost face in public. With all those humiliations, she has never thrown divorce papers in your face. However, you divorced her for no apparent reason. Are you aware of the anguish she is through as a result of your divorce? She has been in love with you for a very long time and has never given up on you. I’ve seen her act fiercely, yet she will always be a daughter to me. Mr. Grayston. I would be quite grateful if you left her alone rather than inflicting agony on her. Not to mention that you are her first.”

How the fuck did she know that Camille had never done it?

When I looked at her, I saw the affection of a mother. Normally, I would have told her to mind her own business, but it is not the appropriate response at the moment.

“Mary, Camila Christopher Grayston is still my wife. It’s a long story that I don’t want to talk about right now. I understand your concern for my wife. All I ask of you is to take care of her and my son as you have always done. Leave the rest for me.”

She drew her gaze to mine with a dragging motion. She appeared to be bewildered. I proceeded, “However, Camila shouldn’t know anything about this conversation. I would like things to stay as they are. Too much information would do so much harm. I have been the worst husband possible, but I have learned my lesson and I want my family. I want us to live in peace, not to fight over the same subject repeatedly. I’ve been disrespectful to my wife numerous times, and I’m ashamed of myself. I treated her as if she were nothing to me, but that was no longer the case. I want my family back and I also want to save my family, which is why I’m not saying anything, but one thing is for sure, Camila is mine. Additionally, I want you to know that even though I was a jerk in the past, I hate to admit it, but that woman changed me. I am unworthy of her, but this charade must continue.” I can’t afford anyone to know what is going on, not even Camille.

After about 3 hours of my call, I went back to my bedroom. I inhaled deeply, sat in front of the mirror, and applied my makeup in preparation to pick up my kid. I stepped downstairs and was greeted by a cheerful
