The Silent Wife

Chapter 582 Getting Hammered

 Greg shrank away from Laney, but he didn‘t make a move to leave. Seeing this, Laney flew into a fit of rage. She started rolling up her sleeves as she stomped towards him. “Will you leave on your own or will I have to throw you out?” Seeing the fierce look on her face, Greg was scared out of his wits and jumped up from the sofa at once. Then, without looking back, he ran out the door. With Greg gone, Laney‘s apartment felt especially quiet. She sighed and turned to close the door. But before the door could click shut, someone from outside stuck their foot in the gap to stop it from closing. Laney thought that Greg had come back. Gritting her teeth angrily, she swung the door open and was about to throw her fist at Greg‘s face when she saw that it was Garrett standing at the door. 3 “Why are you here?” Laney frowned in surprise. “Anyway, I‘m sorry for leaving in a hurry just now.

She only slowed down when she was sure that Garrett hadn‘t followed her. She took a deep, shaky breath, and a lump formed in her throat. She buried her face in her hands as tears began to roll down her cheeks

If the White family hadn‘t announced that she was their daughter, she doubted she‘d have been able to handle the pressure of being with Brandon Larson. It was really hard and really painful. 1 Unlike Ethan who came from a broken family, Garrett still had both his parents and he was loyal to his family. It would‘ve been difficult for him to choose between his family and Laney. “I think you did the right thing. At least walking away now is less painful than spending the rest of your life struggling.” After pouring herself a glass of whiskey, Janet clinked glasses with Laney and said with a grin, “Let‘s get hammered tonight.” Laney‘s face was already flushed by then. She was so drunk that she cried in a slurred voice, “Okay! Let‘s get hammered!” Then, the two girls drank. As Laney put her glass down, tears welled up in
