Chapter 219


    Chapter 219 Have You No Shame?


    In such cases, it was best to refuse outright, after all, I really couldn’t change Walter’s mind.


    Emma opened her mouth, paused for a few seconds, and said, “Tabatha, are you still mad at Gianna?”

    I was speechless, couldn’t help but hold my forehead, looking at her and said, “Sister-inw, I really


    don’t.” After a few seconds, I said, “Actually, Walter and I have already divorced. We signed the divorce


    agreement a month ago. Now, I have long been separated from him. It’s just because of my


    grandmother’s illness that we haven’t made it public. As soon as my grandmother’s condition improves,


    our divorce will also be made public. So, what I just told you is the truth.”


    She froze, looking at me with surprise and confusion. “Divorced? Why? Between you two…” She


    paused for a few seconds before continuing, “Because of the incident on grandma’s birthday, when you


    lost your child?”


    I pursed my lips, tugged at the corner of my mouth, paused for a moment and said, “It’s not entirely


    true. Perhaps he and I were never meant to live together. Even if that day’s incident hadn’t happened,


    we might have divorced sooner orter. It was just a matter of time.” How could two people who didn’t


    love each other possibly make do?


    It was merely a matter of time.


    Emma fell silent.


    “Mom.” Hermosa came back after ying for a while, holding her phone and calling out to Emma.


    Emma looked at her, “What’s wrong?


    Hermosa, in her early teens, looked at us with her delicate little face, seemingly wanting to say


    something but hesitating. After a pause, she finally said, “Ady just called my dad, she said she wants


    to meet him.”


    For a moment, Emma didn’t react. She looked at her and said, “See him if you want to see him. Just


    give the phone back to dad and tell him. Why are you looking for me…” Towards the end, Emma’s


    voice trailed off.


    The color of his face also stiffened a bit, looking at Hermosa whose face had turned a few shades


    paler.


    My heart skipped a beat, instinctively thinking of Rachel. Didn’t she. say she wouldn’t contact William


    again? How did she find Emma?


    Emma’s face was stiff, and it was several secondster before she looked at Hermosa and said, “Give


    me the phone.”


    After speaking, she didn’t wait for Hermosa to hand over the phone. She directly snatched the phone


    from Hermosa’s hand, opened the contact list, and prepared to dial out.


    The call I made was unanswered.


    She frowned at Hermosa and asked, “Was this the phone number that just called?”


    Hermosa nodded.


    Seeing that Emma’splexion wasn’t good, Hermosa lowered her head and said softly, “She hung up


    as soon as she finished speaking, I didn’t even get to ask who that aunt was.”


    The atmosphere suddenly became indescribably oppressive for a


    moment.


    I subconsciously took a few more nces at the number Emma dialed, it wasn’t Rachel’s.


    For a moment, she couldn’t help but feel suspicious in her heart. Could it be that she had called from


    another phone number?


    In doubt, a deep male voice sounded, “Emma, Hermosa, what are you guys doing over here?”


    Upon hearing the sound, we all looked in its direction. It was William from the Hinton family. All the


    brothers in the Hinton family were exceptionally good-looking, but William had a touch more gentleness


    and amiability than Walter.


    It looked even more likable and approachable.


    Seeing him approach, Hermosa nced at Emma, hesitated, then handed her phone to Walter, her


    voice soft and sweet, “Dad, ady called for you just now.”


    She didn’t say the rest, but even though the child was young, she probably knew a lot of things.


    William, of course, hadn’t realized anything yet. He naturally took the phone and looked at Hermosa


    indulgently, saying, “You finally have a break, don’t just hold your phone all the time, it’s bad for your


    eyes. Go do something else. There are opera performances in your grandmother’s yard, you should go


    watch. It’s much more interesting than looking at this phone.”


    Hermosa pouted, let out a sigh, sneaked a nce at William, and then


    left.


    Knowing that my continued presence would be a nuisance, I looked at William and said, “Brother,


    sister-inw, you guys chat, I’m going to


    check on grandma.”


    Seeing me about to leave, William slightly furrowed his brows and said, “Why are you leaving as soon


    as I arrive? What’s wrong?”


    I just smiled and didn’t say much.


    I walked towards the pond behind the old house through the backyard, wondering if the phone call I just


    received had anything to do with. Rachel. I took out my phone, intending to call Rachel.


    A female voice came from behind, “Since you divorced Walter, why are you still clinging to him?


    Tabatha, do you have any shame left?”
