Chapter 90

Chapter 90



Leaving the Patterson Mansion, the Laird and Eaton families were still lingering.

Merritt told us to head out first, mentioning that Kayla was staying over at his place and he'd handle the rest.

Frankly, I was over listening to their bickering. Merritt had made his decision, and there was nothing more to be said.

Sitting in the car, Clyde cautiously asked, "Heading back to Jade's?"

"Let's just go home."

I stared out the window, avoiding his gaze.

He seemed taken aback for a moment, then quickly nodded.

"Alright, let's go home. It's best we head home!"

Throughout the drive, he kept trying to make conversation, but I was in no mood to talk.

He wanted to know what Merritt and I had discussed, but I didn't want to share.

Truth be told, I had many more questions, but I was just too exhausted.

As soon as we got home, he wrapped his arms around me tightly.

"Melanie, I know you're mad at me, but please, can you give me another chance?"

"Let's not divorce. As long as we don't divorce, you can do whatever you want, okay?"

He rambled on in my ear, and I was truly annoyed.

"Fine, we won't divorce."

"What did you say?"

"If you want a divorce, that's fine too."
