Chapter 60 I Will Never Marry That Hag

It took Benjamin a long time before he uttered curtly, “What do you think?”

“Her?” Timothy gasped, pointing at Grace and then at Benjamin.

“And you?”

At last, his finger pointed at himself. “I …”

“What the hell is going on?” For a second, Timothy felt like crying. He needed time to process the situation. It was too much to handle at once.

Frederick rubbed his nose and leaned toward the bewildered Timothy. “Dude, one mustn’t touch his friend’s wife. You got yourself into big trouble this time.”

Timothy fumed. “She said she’s divorced! She has the freedom to love, understand?”

Then, he pushed Benjamin and said dryly, “I didn’t know she was your ex–wife when I met her.

When Grace calmly walked past Benjamin, the latter’s displeased voice halted her steps. Aren’t you going to explain yourself?”

Grace scoffed. “Who are you to make me explain?” After that, she left promptly.

“Don’t leave! Are you seriously going to leave us here just like that?” Timothy shouted after Grace’s disappearing figure.

Benjamin pulled a long face and left as well, followed by Frederick.

On the other hand, Timothy was distracted throughout his journey home and had a sleepless night.

The next morning, he stormed into Grace’s office, ignoring the secretary’s protests.

Grace looked up at him, unfazed. “Why are you here? Didn’t your good buddies morally condemn you?”

“I’ve been thinking the whole night. I’m not going to give up on you.”

Timothy stood straight and proud, speaking very Seriously. “In fact, my feelings for you have become even more resolute after last night!”

Grace was speechless. “That’s it?”

In her opinion, he was more superficial than this.

“Your previous marriage is something of the past. Everyone stumbles at some point in life. It was Ben who took you for granted, and you made the right choice to leave him.”
