Chapter 1303 Drive A Wedge Between Us


    Laney was extremely disappointed by the sight of Garrett attackingn.


    She never would’ve imagined that despite everything they had been through, Garrett would remain so


    self-centered and immature, disying no signs of improvement in his character. Garrett walked stiffly


    towards Laney, attempting to reach for her hand. “Please, Laney, listen to me. I’m not…”


    “Stop talking to me!”


    Laney backed away from Garrett and looked at him with a cold, cautious stare, as though he were a


    stranger. “There’s nothing left for us to discuss. Please return to where you came from.” Laney’s harsh


    and impassive words pierced deeply through Garrett’s heart. In a burst of intense emotion, he


    eximed, “Can’t you see that he was pretending? He’s always had malicious intentions hidden deep


    down, and even sent me fake divorce papers. He made it seem like I was attacking him! He’s trying to


    drive a wedge between us!” “I don’t care who sent the fake papers.” Laney spoke in a cold tone. “I only


    believe what I see. If you every a finger on my family again, Garrett, I’ll sign the real divorce papers


    and mail them to you.”


    Garrett stood frozen in utter disbelief, unable to move or react upon hearing those words.


    After a long pause, ninjanovelnovel he shook his head with a wry grin and said, “Laney, as


    someone who used to be a bodyguard, you should be able to tell whethern was pretending. Yet, you


    refuse to even consider it. Could it be that I’ve lost your trust entirely?”


    Laney stared at Garrett intently, then helpedn get back on his feet. In a monotone voice, she


    remarked, “Enough. To be honest, there wasn’t that much trust left between us.”


    With those words lingering in the air, she left withn and her child without taking a single look back.


    Garrett watched them leave, with his face reflecting the strong sense of loss that he felt. The anguish


    pierced his heart, ninjanovel update fast overwhelming him like a swarm of ants whose incessant


    crawl suffocated him in a veil of agony.


    Laney… Did she already considern as part of her family?


    If so, what significance did he hold in her life?


    What did he mean to her?


    On their way back, Laney grew suspicious ofn after tending to his wound.


    As she recalled the positioning of Garrett andn in that moment, along with the pained expression on


    Garrett’s face as he defended himself, she couldn’t shake the feeling thatn’s wound was


    questionable. His wound didn’t seem to be the result of being forcefully pushed and scraped, but rather


    appeared more self- inflicted.


    Laney let out a sigh, but ultimately, chose not to express her uncertainty.


    Upon arriving home, Laney lulled Anya to sleep and carefully ced her back in the crib. Afterwards,


    she went to get the medicine box forn.


    “It’s okay. Let me help you,” Laney insisted.


    She guided him to the couch and delicately applied the medicine to his wounds.


    Despite being aware that he might try to frame Garrett, Laney couldn’t find it in herself to neglect his


    well-being.


    There was no denying that he had shown her kindness in many ways.


    Nevertheless, Laney also didn’t want to wrong Garrett.


    While tending ton’s wounds, she inquired tentatively, “By the way, what led to your scuffle with


    Garrett earlier?”


    Laney probed further in a calm tone, ninjanovel “Is that really all that happened,n? I wouldn’t like


    for my assistant to lie to me.”n’s fingers curled slightly as he began, “Mrs. Harding…”


    With her eyes fixed onn, Laney continued in aposed tone, n, I need you to be honest with me.


    Did you deliberately set up Garrett? And… were you responsible for sending him the fake divorce


    papers and wedding ring?”
