Chapter 777 What Tricks Do You Plan to Pull?
Rowena kept a smile on her face even after being confronted by Jenny.” Oh, let’s drop that and eat. We can discuss it after dinner.” Meanwhile, she went into the kitchen and prepared two more dishes. Then, she took a seat at the table to eat with them.
The trio stared at the dishes on the table, but Jenny and Graham didn’t touch the food out of fear that Rowena might have added something to it.
Rowena seemed to read their mind and tested all the dishes in front of them. “Go ahead. The food’s safe to eat.”
Jenny and Graham exchanged glances and started eating in silence. Throughout dinner, Jenny decided she would help keep Graham levelheaded against whatever
Rowena wanted to say later. She didn’t want Graham to change his mind because of Rowena’s words.
In fact, Jenny had underestimated Graham’s resolve. He would have overlooked the minor tricks that Rowena pulled, but he wouldn’t forgive her for harming the Walters and Jenny. Therefore, Rowena’s efforts that day were destined to go down the drain.
After dinner, Jenny sat in the living room and glared coldly at Rowena.” We’re done with dinner. Say whatever you want to say.” She didn’t plan to leave the living room because she wanted to keep an eye on Rowena.
Rowena, however, wanted to have a private chat with Graham. She ignored Jenny’s pointed statement and said, “Jenny, you must be tired after a day of busy work. Why don’t you go rest in your room?”
“Rowena Glass!” Infuriated, Jenny couldn’t believe that Rowena still wanted to pull her dirty tricks.
Rowena refused to discuss further, knowing Jenny would not make Graham listen to her plea if she was present. Therefore, she needed Jenny gone, even if it was temporary.
“Jenny, go rest.” A while later, Graham asked Jenny to go to her room to end the silent confrontation.
“Dad…”
“Didn’t you always tell me that you know what to do? I’ll tell you the same now. Do you trust me?” he asked her earnestly.
Feeling touched, she nodded. “I trust you.” Without saying a word to Rowena, she got up and retired to her room.
Rowena was disturbed by Graham’s promise to Jenny and had a hunch that she might return empty- handed that day.
When Jenny was gone, Graham turned to Rowena. ‘You can speak now.”
She forced a smile and went around to stand behind him. “Graham, you must be tired in the past few days. I’ll massage your shoulders.” She didn’t wait for a response and immediately started massaging him.
Graham frowned but didn’t stop her. “If you want to change my mind on the divorce by flattering me. I’d suggest you not waste your time.”
She paused for a bit but bit the bullet and went on massaging him. “I know you must hate me a lot right now, but I did what I did because I had no choice. If you didn’t ignore me for years and deprived me of a sense of security, I wouldn’t have done all of that.” She even started sobbing in front of him.
“Are you saying that I was responsible for all the actions carried out by you? ” he questioned her coldly with a smirk.
“No, that’s not what I meant,” she clarified. “I have loved you for many years. You should know that better than anyone else. Now, you want a divorce, but I couldn’t give up on our relationship.”
