Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 77

The weather cleared unusually, but the cold persisted just as icy. Nevertheless, the sun dutifully resumed its shift.

Yet. Trevon’s mood didn’t brighten up like the weather.

A phone call interrupted Mia’s day in the early morning hours amidst a mix of joy and worry. Jim’s swift hand had brought this unexpected call, stirring a range of emotions within her.

Fed up with the constant and irritating ringing. Trevon shut off his phone.

Having endured a prolonged absence of sleep at Phoenix Manor, he encountered a rare bout of insomnia last night.

Bright and early, Jim was already at his doorstep, ready to escort him to the Wilson’s residence.

Jim was screaming in agony deep within his soul!

The Wilson’s residence.

Theo sat leisurely at the dining table, savoring his morning meal. When he noticed his grandson’s grumpy face, it added a hint of pleasure to his mood.

Taking a sip of his freshly brewed coffee, he casually remarked. “Bright and early today. huh? How about joining me for breakfast? Mr. Hawk has also made an appearance. Please take a seat, and let’s share a meal. Mary, please bring two more sets of cutlery

Theo did not heed his grandson’s desires and took charge without hesitation.

With deft and efficient movements, Mary swiftly brought two cutlery sets, accompanied by an assortment of additional breakfast treats.

Trevon remained motionless, his reluctance palpable, and Jim naturally followed suit, remaining motionless.

Theo didn’t seem to be impatience as he continued unhurriedly. “If you have something to discuss with me, it can wait until after breakfast. We can’t have a proper conversation on an empty stomach. Don’t just stand there looking superior. Take a

seat.”

With a begrudging expression, Trevon finally sat down and sipped his milk. “Mr. Theo, did you arrange the divorce proceedings for her as you instructed last night?”

Hearing these words. Theo concealed his inner delight, maintaining an expressionless face. Indeed, Natalie came to me. hoping I would grant you a way out. She didn’t want to keep you tied down against your will. She earnestly and persistently persuaded me. And I must admit, her words held some truth. A loveless marriage is a mutual torment. So, I have decided to fulfill your wishes, to set you free from any obstacle in your pursuit of true love.”

“Mr. Theo, where am I supposed to find true love if you didn’t even inform me about the divorce?” Trevon’s tone carried a hint of reproach and discontent.

Theo finished his breakfast, wiped his mouth, and glanced at his grandson, then shifted his gaze to Jim, who was silently consuming his meal. seemingly trying to diminish his presence. “Well, tell me, why should I have informed you? Divorce doesn’t require your consent, just as Natalie doesn’t require your presence. Since the shoe doesn’t fit and causes discomfort, I must find a better fit for you. With all your responsibilities and busy schedule, where would you find time for love? I can’t let a mere marriage license hinder your potential to earn a fortune.”

Seeing Mr. Theo mocking him, Trevon felt a surge of frustration. He repeatedly pushed back. Tm not involved in any romantic relationships.”
