Don't Fall For Me, CEO-Chapter 1046: He Got Divorced

"Mom, I’ve never blamed you because leaving me in the country was also for my own good. But now that I’ve grown up, you can trust me with everything that’s to come."

"Baby, it’s wonderful that you understand me." Laura Quinn then asked July Quinn to tell her about the interesting things that happened over the years.

The three generations chatted as they ate. The meal wasn’t extravagant, but it was filled with warmth.

After the meal, July Quinn burped and laughed, "This is probably what people call family warmth; it’s quite novel to feel it for the first time."

Laura Quinn quickly embraced her tenderly, "Baby, you can always have this kind of warmth. I won’t let anyone hurt you again."

After the warm dinner, the three of them retired to their rooms to rest.

Today had been a long and busy day, and they were all worn out.

Considering July Quinn hadn’t rested enough, Laura Quinn planned to talk with her the next day.

Unexpectedly, as she was about to get into bed after freshening up, she saw July Quinn at her bedroom door with a pillow in her arms.

"Baby, do you want to sleep with Mom?"

July Quinn felt a bit embarrassed but nodded.

"Then just come on over, there’s always a place for you in Mom’s bed."

With those words from Laura Quinn, July Quinn climbed into her bed without any hesitation.

The bed was dry and comfortable, carrying Laura Quinn’s scent.

July Quinn closed her eyes contentedly.

But then, Laura Quinn suddenly asked, "Baby, is there something you want to say to me?"

July Quinn immediately opened her eyes.

Indeed, since meeting Laura Quinn, she’s had something on her mind she wanted to ask about Richard Donovan.

She just didn’t know how to bring it up with Laura Quinn up until now.

She hadn’t expected Laura Quinn to notice.

After some hesitation, July Quinn spoke, "Mom, Dad got divorced."

Hearing news about him again, Laura Quinn felt resistant.

Truly, upon learning he was marrying Jenna Sawyer, while she decided to hide her pregnancy, to seal away all their sweet memories, Laura Quinn stopped paying attention to that man’s affairs.

Especially after returning to Desrozin City, she hadn’t mentioned him even once, nor did she follow any news from the country.

It was as if she had completely erased that man from her world.

Yet whether she truly let go of that past, only she knew.

If she truly had, her hands wouldn’t have shaken upon hearing her daughter mention him.

"He got divorced, so be it, it has nothing to do with me."

She then told July Quinn that she had long passed the age for romance.

Now, love is just a seasoning in life for her.

"He told me that back then, he didn’t know you were pregnant with me, only that the other woman claimed to be having his child, so he assumed responsibility, but he didn’t love her at all."

"Whether he loved her or not, it has nothing to do with me. Do you believe it? I can hardly remember what he looks like now."

Mentioning that man now, in a way, she was actually grateful to Joseph.

If it weren’t for him driving her into a corner back then, with no choice but to deal with him, she wouldn’t have known how to get through those times of sadness and disappointment.

"I’m not asking you to forgive him; he just asked me to see if you would meet with him. I think that’s up to you."

Yes, Richard Donovan is now in Desrozin City too.

After learning that July Quinn was alive, Richard Donovan resigned from his presidential position and rushed to Desrozin City.

He said it was to take care of her and protect her, but July Quinn knew he mostly wanted to see Laura Quinn.
