Countdown to My Divorce (Rachel and William) novel Chapter 82

Rachel furrowed her brows. Since she had made up her mind about leaving William, she didn’t want her family involved any further.

“It’s nothing, just some misunderstanding,” she muttered.

“I must admit, we’re impressed by your amazing attitude in this entire fiasco. How could you remain so calm with your husband fooling around with another woman?” Sasha sneered.

“Enough about all that. Come with me to my study,” Jim cut in.

Jim shot Rachel a look; this time, Sasha didn’t stop Rachel.

Rachel was taking the first step of the stairs when she tripped on something

She was distracted, wondering how to explain things to her father. Because she didn’t pay attention at that moment, she fell forward with a gasp.

Her forehead hit the stairs, and she winced in pain. She held her forehead and felt something wet on her palm Looking down, she saw blood stains on it.

Yvette covered her mouth and yelped in feigned surprise. “m so sorry for accidentally causing you to trip, Rachel! But how could you be so careless? Tripping on such a wide staircase.”

Jim hurriedly held Rachel up. “Rachel, are you okay? I’ll have Mrs. Jones fetch the first–aid kit to treat your wound.

“No need,” Rachel said with a wave of her hand. “Let’s just head up.”

Jim was still concerned. “Are you sure you’re fine?”

“It’s just a minor bump.”

Rachel didn’t want to make things more difficult for Jim. Because she had accidentally lost Sasha’s son, Sasha had been bearing a grudge against her father over the years.

After Rachel followed Jim into his study, she put all her gifts for him on the table.

“Father, these are gifts I bought for you. Happy birthday.”

Jim was delighted.

“I’m happy enough to see you back home. You shouldn’t have gone through such expenses.”

“It’s not much. Today is special, it’s your birthday.”

Aside from visiting home during the new years, Rachel hardly returned home and would usually give her father a call to catch up on things. Given her circumstances right now, she thought she should spend more time with him.

1 and William

“It’s just the two of us here, so tell me. What’s going on between Jim asked.

“Nothing, it’s just a misunderstanding. Don’t listen to them talk nonsense.”

Rachel hardly felt anything at the mention of William and Samantha

Jim, however, didn’t believe her. “Why didn’t he come with you today, then?”

Jim knew that William would always keep Rachel company each time she came home. He had a bad feeling when he saw his daughter here alone.

Rachel pulled her phone out to check the time. “He’s been very busy at work recently. He did say that he’d come over later.”

Jim knew that it was getting late. “In that case, call him and ask where he is right now.”

“Alright.”
