Chapter 67 – Divorced! Now What to Do?

“I dare you to say another word!“ Bethan looked at her coldly. “It will still be the same no matter how much I say.” Cynthal gritted her teeth.

Bethan was in a cheap servant’s uniform with no make-up on her face.

She looked poor and miserable.

How dare she look at her with those eyes! Her aloofness in her eyes made Cynthal feel like she was in a different rank compared to Bethan. Those condescending, cold eyes were the same as Bethan Peterson back then! Looking at Bethan at that moment, Cynthal even felt that she was once more back under the shadows of Bethan Peterson.

At that thought.

Cynthal was infuriated.

She could not find Bethan Peterson nor handle her.

Could she not even deal with a lowly servant? Cynthal bit her lips.

She walked over quickly to Bethan in her seven-centimeters-tall high heels.

She raised her hands and slapped Bethan brutally.

Cynthal thought that she was quick enough to slap Bethan, she did not expect that Bethan was quicker. The moment she raised her hands, Bethan accurately grabbed her hand in mid-air.

Bethan looked at Cynthal coldly.

“Only the incompetent would resort to violence.” Then, she grabbed Cynthal’s hand and flung it hard.

Cynthal lost her balance and fell to the ground.

Her expensive dress was covered in dirt.

Her hair was in a mess.

She was looking wretched.

“Bethan!“ Cynthal got up with difficulty.

She glared fiercely at Bethan’s back. “If I can get rid of Bethan Peterson, I could get rid of you too! Don’t think that once you leave Blue Bay Villa, can’t do anything to you! You’re nothing but just a servant.

I will make sure you won’t be able to survive in Banyan City!“ Bethan waved her hands without turning back.

“I look forward to it.” Then, she entered Blue Bay Villa.

Cynthal was so furious she stomped her feet in the same spot.

When Bethan returned to Blue Bay Villa, it was almost lunchtime. She was supposed to have a last lunch with Brettley, but she did not know where he was.

“Aunty!” Once she entered, Nellie smiled at her from the dining table.

She waved at Bethan.

“Is everything alright?“ Bethan shook her head.

“No problem.” “That’s good!“.

Nellie smiled and took some food for Bethan.

“You have been taking care of me all this while.

I want to return the favor.” Nellie blinked her round eyes adorably. “Don’t say no to me.

I have recently learned how to take care of people.” Then, Nellie picked her little bowl up and carefully fed Bethan.

Looking at Nellie in a proper caregiver posture, Bethan smiled helplessly.

“You were watching so many nursing videos just because of this?” Nellie smiled embarrassingly. “Yes, I did well, right?” No matter where she stood, Nellie did not want Bethan to leave.

Seeing how understanding her daughter was, Bethan could not help but hug Nellie. “Nellie.” Bethan sniffled.

Her nose became sore.

“You don’t have to learn how to take care of others.

Just take good care of yourself.” Nellie nodded.

She wanted to say something when she saw the person by the door.

She stopped moving.

Noticing Nellie stopped moving, Bethan furrowed her brows and looked at where Nellie was looking.

Standing by the door, Brettley was looking travel-worn. He seemed to have come back from somewhere far.

His smart -looking suit was somewhat wrinkled.

His hair was also in a mess. However, he gave off a charming, mature, manliness. Bethan noticed that he had a small box in his hands.

The box was familiar to her, but she could not remember when she had seen them.

“Daddy, where have you been?“ Nellie obediently put down her utensils and ran to the kitchen.

She clumsily took a plate of rice out.

“ You’re back just in time.

Let’s have a last lunch together.“ Then, Nellie felt that she said something wrong.

“ Not the last lunch, the last lunch before Aunty leaves us.“ “Hmm.“ Brettley looked at Bethan and put the box down.

He roughly let loose of his tie and threw his coat on the rack.

He rolled his sleeves up, carried the box, and walked over. At that moment, Bethan noticed that not only his jacket was wrinkled.

Even his white shirt was covered in dust. It was not any ordinary stain, rather, it was the kind of dust that had been sealed up for a long time.

She furrowed her brows.

She wanted to ask him where he went, but she held back. She was a nobody to him.

It has nothing to do with her, where he went. “Daddy, what is that?“ Nellie furrowed her brows and looked at Brettley carrying the box. Brettley gently placed it on the coffee table.

“This is the dress that you’ll be wearing tonight.“ Nellie was confused.

“But Aunty has already bought the dress that I’m wearing yesterday.“ When they were out shopping, they even met with her grandmother.

“Previously, I wanted you to dress up a little, but yesterday night, I suddenly thought that you should wear this dress.“ Then, Brettley opened the box.

Inside it was a new little girl’s dress. It was a pink dress.

The dress was handmade.

Every stitch and detail was flawless. Nellie looked with widened eyes.

“Wow! “ It was beautiful! It was so much more beautiful than the few gowns they tried on in the shopping mall the day before! Nellie was so excited.

She wanted to touch the dress but she did not dare to.

“Daddy, where did this come from?“ Seeing her innocent face, Brettley’s heart softened. He lifted his hands and patted her head dotingly.

“ Daddy went to Emerald City, where your Mommy used to live.“ Clunk! Bethan dropped her utensils on the floor. Brettley looked at her, but he did not mind her unusual reaction.

“I suddenly remembered that your Mommy and I had once dreamt that we were going to have a daughter before we got married. “While preparing for the marriage, she drew a sketch and learned how to sew.

She made this dress herself.“ Bethan sat on her chair, her body stiffened. No wonder she felt that the box was familiar to her.

It was the box that she once used to put the sketches and the dress. When she got married, she wanted to bring the dress to Blue Bay Villa, but while she was packing, Cynthal told her that the dress was too cheap-looking.

Brettley’s children would be regal and elegant.

They would never wear such a dress.

After hesitating for a long time, she decided to leave the dress in her small house of lo square meters.

It has been such a long time.

Bethan has forgotten that she has once made such a dress. She recalled back to the time when she was making the dress. The Bethan Peterson back then was filled with the hope of having a happy life with Brettley.

After she married him, she would be the world’s luckiest woman. However, reality gave her one hard slap, which almost killed her too.

“Aunty.“ Nellie’s voice pulled her back to the present. Nellie was wearing the little dress, standing in front of her.

She happily lifted the dress and waved, smiling happily.

“Do I look good?“ The scene of Nellie standing in front of her overlapped with the image she once imagined in her memory. It was as if something heavy had crushed Bethan’s heart.

She forcefully held back her tears and her urge to hug Nellie.

Bethan sniffled and smiled.

“You look good! “ “Then it is decided! “ Nellie excitedly spun around the living room.

“Wearing a dress that Mommy made for me while attending Daddy’s family’s banquet.

I’m so happy! “ Seeing her innocent and adorable ways, Brettley’s hardened furrowed brows relaxed too. Brettley went to wash his hands and came back to sit in front of Bethan.
