Chapter 38 Forced to Live Together

Erin looked at Caleb, suddenly at a loss for words. “Mr. Grant, I-

“We’re off work right now. You can call me by my name. Erin, are you really married?” Caleb still had a look of disbelief in his eyes. Erin thought of explaining it to Caleb a moment ago, but when he stood right before her, she suddenly didn’t know where to begin. She looked at the staff slowly coming out of the office building. It was the end of the day, and she found it inconvenient to talk there, so she suggested. “Why don’t we find a place to talk? I’ll explain the matter clearly.”

Caleb nodded in agreement, and they walked to a café across the office building. When they entered the café, Erin found a corner and sat down while Caleb chose to sit opposile her.

When the waiter arrived, they both ordered a cup of coffee and silently waited for their order. Once their coffee was served, Erin took a sip and said. “I’m indeed married, but I’ve been trying to settle a divorce with him for the past few days. When you asked me if I had a boyfriend, I didn’t mean to deliberately hide it from you. I just didn’t want to explain my current relationship with my husband.”

Erin continued. “There are so many people in the office; I don’t want them to gossip about my personal life behind my back. The three colleagues from my previous company have all met my husband, but they still didn’t know about our divorce.”

Caleb’s hand that was holding onto the coffee cup relaxed tremendously. He gently placed the coffee cup on the table. He furrowed his brow and thought a little while. When he looked up at Erin again, he looked more at ease. He said calmly. “Thank you for telling me this. I understand what you’re going through, but can I ask you a question?”

“Sure, what is it?”

“Why are you getting a divorce?” Caleb looked a little confused.

Erin’s expression darkened. “He had cheated on me for almost half a year.”
