True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 230 Falling into the Trap

Leonard didn't hesitate. "No way! This is wrong. You have a family. Doing this would make my mom a mistress. She suffered because of this before. I'd rather she stay as she is than have you take care of her." Derek looked at him seriously. "Cordelia and I ended a long time ago. We've been apart for over twenty years, which is grounds for divorce. We only stayed married because she once saved my mom's life." He turned to Joyce. "Joyce, I want to divorce Cordelia. Help me win this case."

Joyce looked uneasy. "Mr. Winters, winning isn't hard, especially since Cordelia has hurt the Winters Family badly this time. But are you sure this is good for Mrs. Guise?"

"I'll pursue her properly after the divorce. As long as it helps her recover, that's all that matters. I just want her to regain her memory." Derek felt tethered to Elise's memories, desperate to unravel their shared past and understand why she remembered while he didn't.

Sebastian pulled Joyce aside and bluntly refused. "Dad, if you want a divorce, I'll find another lawyer. Julian is a good choice. Joyce is pregnant and shouldn't be in court. Plus, Cordelia is hostile towards her. I'm worried Cordelia might act out." This reminded Derek that Cordelia always tried to provoke Joyce. He smiled and said, "I'm getting old and forgetful. How could I forget this? I'll contact Julian right away. Once things are settled, I'll talk to Elise. Don't tell her anything for now." Derek didn't wait for Leonard's reaction, picked up his phone, and left while making a call.

Seeing Derek's eager and joyful demeanor, Sebastian shook his head. "He hasn't been like this for years. His marriage with Cordelia is like a stagnant pool, trapping him. If he and Mrs. Guise can be together, I won't oppose it." Leonard's cold voice cut in. "I oppose it! Until we know the truth, I won't let my mom get close to him."

Leonard walked into the bedroom and saw Elise waking up. He made up an excuse and took her away.

The next day, Julian walked into Cordelia's hospital room with divorce papers. She tore them up without looking and glared at Julian. "Derek wants a divorce to be with that woman? Never!"
