“I’ve already asked someone to look at the house in the countryside to sell it. What would we go back for…”
Wesley personally brought a nutritious breakfast to Bonnie.
When Wesley tried to talk to her, Priscilla still ignored him as before
Bonnie said she wanted a drink from a shop in the south of the city to send Priscilla away.
“Grandma.” Wesley apologized proactively, “it was my fault for not taking good care of Priscilla.”
He hadn’t slept all night; every time he closed his eyes, all he could see was her look of utter despair.
Bonnie only asked, “Mr. Carlton, you are a man. You should know that indecision brings chaos.”
“You refuse to divorce Cilla while you defend for Larissa in
everything. By doing this, you are not only damaging your marriage with Cilla, but also making the relationship between the sisters even worse.”
In fact, these words shouldn’t come from Bonnie.
But she still wanted to think for her granddaughter.
Wesley lowered his head and looked sincerely remorseful though there was a hint of doubt in his tone.
“Grandma, why exactly does Priscilla dislike Larissa?”

They were sisters, they should have gotten along
Bonnie sighed
She recalled those past events and felt it was necessary to let Wesley know.
“Cilla and Claude are twins. As soon as they were horn, they were left to me and their grandpa. When they were three, the old man passed away, and they took Claude back. Because they were expecting another child, they left Cilla behind.
“They never mentioned taking Cilla back and rarely came to see her When Cilla was little, her classmates always mocked her for being abandoned.”
“When she was twelve, she secretly took some money and ran off to Aetherton…
Bonnie choked up a little as she said. “When I got there, I saw her standing by the roadside and staring at her parents and brother inside the house who were celebrating the birthday of that little sister she had never even met.”
At that moment. Priscilla truly accepted the fact that she had been abandoned.
After that, she never mentioned returning to the Wilburn’s mansion again.
Wesley could almost picture the scene: a twelve–year–old girl standing in the rain at night, while inside the warm and brightly lit windows was the family affection she longed for so much.
Bonnie sighed softly. “And as for your marriage, it happened because I fainted, and her parents used me to force her to agree.”

Wesley was shocked, with his emotions going up and down
He had always thought Priscilla had agreed to the marriage willingly
“Wes, as an elder, I ask you–please divorce Cilla.”
Knowing her granddaughter had suffered. Bonnie had only this one request.
If Priscilla liked Wesley, she would have done everything to take Larissa back to the countryside.
But she knew that Priscilla wanted to end this marriage.
Wesley pressed his lips together and a storm of emotions swirled in his
eyes.
“Larissa now has you as her support and the Wilburn family behind her. She can do whatever she wants, so there’s no need for you to keep dragging Cilla along and refusing to divorce.”
She had learned everything that day.
That was why she was so determined to persuade Wesley to divorce.
“For the sake of her being your wife for three years, and for losing a child because of you, just divorce her cleanly.”

When Wesley found Priscilla, she was sitting on a bench outside the inpatient building. A faint smile on her lips as she watched a couple playing with their child not far away.
A bitter feeling welled up in Wesley’s heart.
Bonnie’s words urging him to divorce echoed in his mind… for the

sake of the lost child..
But he had already lost a child, he didn’t want to lose his wife as well
How could he make amends?
As he thought about it, the studio on Elmwood Avenue came to mind.
A sudden sense of confidence rose in his heart.
“Priscilla,” he called her name softly, “why are you here?”
Priscilla looked up at him calmly. “What did Grandma say to you?”
Wesley sat down beside her, watching the warm and playful family of three together with her.
“Grandma hopes we can be together and get along well.”
“You’re lying,” Priscilla exposed his lie.
Bonnie would never urge them not to divorce after learning all that.
Wesley fell silent.
He didn’t know why he lied.
He just felt that if he told the truth, it would really be over between him and Priscilla.
“I’ll be staying at the hospital with Grandma for a while, so I won’t go back,” Priscilla said, standing up and looking down at Wesley.
Her heart had already settled into calm.
