Rejected No More: I Am Way Out Of Your League, Darling!

Chapter 10

Chapter 10:

“I’m to blame, aren’t I? Daniela must be upset that you were so attentive to me while I was hospitalized. She’s obviously jealous. Perhaps I should apologize to her.”

Alexander’s soothing touch comforted Joyce.

“Don’t let this get to you. None of this is your fault. Daniela can be quite petty. She wants a divorce? Fine, I’ll go to the courthouse tomorrow and see if she really means it!”

With an exaggerated look of surprise, Joyce tilted her head and replied, “Alexander, don’t act rashly. How could she really want to divorce you? She’s just trying to intimidate you. If you really agreed to divorce her, she’d be embarrassed. Don’t go, okay?”

Alexander’s lips pressed into a thin line, his eyes dark with irritation.

“If I don’t go, she’ll keep using divorce to threaten me. Who the hell can stand that? Furthermore, the fire was entirely her doing. Joyce, you didn’t deserve this, and I’ll make sure Daniela owns up to it.”

Joyce bowed her head, a picture of submission, choosing to remain silent.
