Chapter 32 – Divorced! Now What to Do?

Brettley sighed faintly,

“He’s a brilliant and righteous child.”

“I see…”

Bethan breathed a sigh of relief in silence.

She was afraid that Neil would do something out of the ordinary. He made Nellie reunite with Brettley, completely disrupting her plan. If he did it again, she would have a heart attack.

“He’s quite pitiful, that kid.”

Seeing that Bethan seemed to be interested in that child, Brettley continued to speak lightly as he walked, ”

He said that his father died when he was born, and he and his mother have depended on each other ever since. I didn’t expect his mother would actually entrust him to a friend, even if she herself was working.“ He didn’t even know why himself, but every time he thought of that little boy, he would be reminded of Nellie. If he and Nellie weren’t reunited, she would have lived a miserable life just like him, right?

“He…”

Bethan’s hand holding the shopping cart tightened slightly,

“He said his father is dead?”

“Yeah.”

Brettley recalled Neil’s answer yesterday, it all made sense.

“He said that when he was born, the grass on his father’s grave was already two meters tall.“ Bethan,

“..”

She turned her face away, to prevent him from seeing the flush on her face from holding in her smile,

“We’re done shopping, should we go home?”

After coming out of the market, Brettley did not take Bethan home, instead he took her to the clothing department on the third floor of the mall.

“I want to buy some clothes for Nellie.”

Bethan nodded, raised her feet and walked in the direction of the children’s clothing department. He wanted to please Nellie, of course she had to help, after all, whether it was cooking or buying clothes, Nellie was the one who benefitted in the end. The woman flitted through the mall like a bird, looking all over the place, picking a piece from the left, and another dress from the right.

Not only did she clearly know Nellie’s size, she could even clearly state the style that Nellie liked and which suited her.

Brettley was a little surprised.

If he remembered correctly, the woman had taken care of Nellie for less than a week. How could she know so much about Nellie? He sat on the sofa and watched her flipping through the children’s clothes, and Bethan Peterson’s face appeared in front of his eyes in a daze. If she was by his side, she would be like Bethan, buzzing here and there like a hardworking bee, busily taking care of her daughter.

In other words, Bethan’s care for Nellie, both in the way she looked after her and the way she seemed to read her feelings, seemed to have far surpassed the relationship between a nanny and her employer’s daughter. He remembered how in the Ferris wheel yesterday, she was determined to protect Nellie even if her own life was at stake. At that moment, he even felt that, even if she approached him with ill intentions, it wasn’t a big deal after all. At least, she was doing her best to take care of Nellie. Nellie had extremely good taste. The moment she came back, she found the most competent maid.

“Sir.”

Maybe because he had been sitting on the sofa for too long, the salesperson on the side approached him cautiously,

“Is that your wife?

I can see that your wife has done her best for your daughter. Then would you like to buy your wife a gift?”

Brettley scrunched his eyebrows, turned his head and took a look. The coldness in the man’s eyes made the salesperson slightly nervous. But the salesman chuckled and pointed to the women’s clothing department behind him,

“Your wife is in good shape, she can wear those clothes.”

Somehow,

Brettley stood up and followed the salesman into the women’s clothing department. Under the salesperson’s persuasion, Brettley bought two sets of branded clothes for Bethan. When he returned to the sofa, Bethan had just finished choosing clothes for Nellie.

“These are for you.”

On the way home, Brettley handed the two sets of clothes to Bethan, the expression on his face as cold as ever. The woman took a look and said,

“Mr. Morrison, why are you giving me clothes all of a sudden?”

“On the one hand, it’s a reward for saving Nellie yesterday. On the other hand, thank you for teaching me how to cook.”

The man turned his head and looked out the car window, his tone indifferent,

“You’ve done your best for Nellie and I can see that, but I can’t give you what you want. Take these in return.”

Bethan was startled, and it took a long time for her to understand what Brettley meant. He still didn’t trust her, he thought she was plotting against him. Her lips lifted slightly, a contemptuous smile hanging from her lips,

“Thank you then.”

She admitted that when she came back this time, she was indeed conspiring against him, but not right now, and she would not be so straightforward.

From the beginning, she didn’t intend to appear in his life as a servant.

If it wasn’t for Neil’s little trick, she wouldn’t have to stay by his side for Nellie and be despised by him.

The two of them remained quiet for the rest of the journey.

The moment they returned home, Nellie looked at the pile of clothes Brettley had bought for her, and excitedly pulled Bethan into the changing room to try on all the clothes.

She changed into one set after another, and every time she changed into a different set, she requested Bethan had to praise her. Bethan leaned back on the sofa and looked at the little girl’s excited expression and smiled helplessly. It didn’t take much for her to be happy. When Nellie had changed into her sixth set of clothes, Bethan’s cell phone rang, it was a call from Anne.

“Bethan, what is the relationship between you and Brettley?”

Bethan rubbed her temples, ”

It’ll take some time to explain, but all you need to know is I’m working as a servant at Brettley’s house.”

“I’m not asking you for an explanation.”

On the other end of the phone, Anne paused,

“Did you not watch the news? You went to the mall with Brettley, and Brettley bought you clothes. All these photos were taken and posted online! Cynthal Morrison, Brettley’s fiancé, is considered a celebrity, she is crying right now in the live broadcast, and netizens are scolding you, saying that you’re a mistress!

“

After hanging up the phone call with Anne, Bethan immediately went on Twitter.

Sure enough. The top trending topic was (Cynthal Peterson Crying Live]. She tapped on it. It was Cynthal Peterson’s live stream. At that moment, Cynthal was sitting on the chair crying. She pretended to be aggrieved and explained,

“Please don’t trust the rumors. Brettley and I are very much in love. I choose to believe him. The truth is not what you guys saw. Please stop spreading rumors. Brettley must have encountered some difficulties. He is not the type of person who would cheat.“ Seeing Cynthal’s fake tears, Bethan’s heart turned ice- cold. No wonder this woman was an actor. Her acting skills were exceptional.

Brettley was not the type of person who would cheat? Then, how did he get together with Cynthal in the first place?

“Mommy, what are you looking at?
