Chapter 68 – Divorced! Now What to Do?

He elegantly picked up his utensils and ate.

Nellie got a servant to bring a huge mirror over.

She excitedly looked at herself in the mirror from different angles. “It’s nice right?“ Seeing Bethan looking at Nellie, Brettley smiled and asked. Bethan nodded. “My wife always had good taste.“ Bethan’s stopped breathing a little.

The next second, she lifted her head and looked at Brettley.

“Why did you suddenly think of letting Nellie wear this dress?“ He just made her go shopping with Nellie the day before to pick out a gown. Emerald City was a few hundred kilometers from Banyan City.

A journey there and back would take more than lo hours. Seeing how travel-worn he was, Brettley must have left for Emerald City in the middle of the night and came back immediately after getting the dress. Brettley’s eyes were filled with Nellie’s obedient looks.

“I suddenly thought that Bethan should be watching me announcing Nellie’s identity tonight.“ Then, he smiled bitterly.

“If she was going to see, I hope she could see Nellie in this dress.

This is to fulfill her little fantasy years ago.

Also…” Brettley sighed and continued, “I also hope that once she sees Nellie in this dress, she would be able to feel that I actually remembered what she said to me years ago.

That I still have her in my heart.” Bethan’s heart turned cold.

The smile on her face vanished instantly. It turned out that he had an agenda getting Nellie to wear that dress to the banquet that night. He wanted to lure Bethan Peterson out. He wanted her to think that he was still deeply in love with her. This man was still like before.

Cold and cruel. At that thought, Bethan looked at Nellie, who was still excitingly trying on her dress.

She smiled bitterly.

“ Although Nellie is only six, she understands enough.

If she knew that you were using her, she would be disappointed.”

“Daddy, Aunty, what are you guys talking about?“

Nellie noticed that Bethan and Brettley had been looking at her. She ran over, smiling brighter than the sun.

Brettley glanced at Bethan. He raised his hands and patted Nellie’s head. “Nothing much. Do you like the dress?“

“I do! “ Nellie’s voice was bright as a bell. “Mommy made this herself for me. I love it!“

While moving about, a little ornament on the back of her dress fell off.

Bethan furrowed her brows. “Don’t simply move about.“

Nellie obediently stopped moving.

Bethan picked up the fallen ornament. “Bring me the box.“

“Hmm! “ Nellie ran to get the box over.

“Do I have to take the dress off?“ Nellie asked innocently with a cocked head.

“No need.“ Bethan took out the needle and thread from the bottom compartment of the box with ease. “Turn around.“ Nellie obediently did so.

Bethan skillfully threaded the needle, placed the ornament back to its original position, and sewed it up.

After that, she let out a long breath. She checked up on Nellie’s dress once more before putting the needle and thread back into the box.

She made this dress a very long time ago. Back then, she had just begun learning how to make this dress. Her method and technique were not good enough yet.

Looking at it at that moment, there were quite a lot of mistakes made on the dress.

She put the box back and lifted her head. She immediately met with Brettley’s eyes.

He looked at her. “You seem to be familiar with the box and dress.“

He personally went to Emerald City, to the place where Bethan used to live, to search for the box.

Whether it be her place or the box, it was covered in dust. Clearly, no one has been there for a very long time. The box has not been opened by anyone too, yet Bethan could accurately locate the needle and thread at the bottom compartment.

This was surprising.

Facing his dangerous-looking gaze, previously Bethan perhaps might panic, but at that moment, she calmly smiled.

“I used to work as a tailor. The dress’s structure is a simple one. Clearly done by an amateur. It’s nothing too challenging. Also, lots of people would put needles and thread in the box out of habit.“

Then, she looked at Brettley. “It’s not surprising that I could guess where it was. Mr. Morrison, you, on the other hand. You loved your ex-wife so deeply, how could you not know that she was an amateur? You don’t even know her sewing habits.“

Brettley was caught off guard.

He admitted that he never truly cared for Bethan Peterson in the past. Brettley’s eyes dimmed. “When she made this dress, I was not by her side.“

“Only when she was making this dress?“

No matter what she did back then, he never once accompanied her. Even when she went for the doctor’s check-up on her pregnancy, she went alone.

At first, she thought that he was busy, that he was a man who put his career first.

She even kindly let Cynthal become his secretary, to help him share his workload.

What happened then? They had an affair together.

Bethan could even imagine that every time he claimed that he was on a business trip, how happy Cynthal and he would be having fun.

She was perhaps the most foolish person in the world. “Bethan.“

Her constant provocations made Brettley frowned hard. He glared at her coldly. “This is not something you should ask. Don’t think that just because it’s your last day here, I will allow you to cross the line and invade my privacy.“

Bethan paused for a while before sneering, “I’m sorry. I was just casually asking. I didn’t expect to hit a sore spot with you, Mr. Morrison.“

She stood up and bowed arrogantly. “I’m sorry, Sir. I won’t do it again.”

Then, she turned around and went upstairs.

Looking at going up the stairs, Brettley furrowed his brows hard.

This woman was getting more and more arrogant. “Daddy, don’t be angry at Aunty.” Nellie seemed to have noticed Brettley’s fury. She carefully went closer toward him and tugged on the corner of his clothes.

“ Aunty is just in a bad mood because she is going to be separated from me. Don’t make it hard for her.”

Brettley lowered his eyes. Looking at his daughter’s sparkling eyes, his heart softened.

He hugged Nellie in his arms. “You are too innocent.“

How could Bethan be unhappy because she was leaving?

She was the one that insisted on leaving. It was not as if he did not give her a chance. He waited for her the entire night the night before, yet she did not even appear.

Why pretend that she was reluctant and in a bad mood at that moment?

At that thought, Brettley sighed. “Let’s eat. After lunch, I’11 bring Lucas to let you piek out a new servant, okay?“

Nellie bit her lips and nodded. “Okay.“

After Mommy leaves, she did need a person who could take good care of her. Although Nellie felt that she could be independent, her brothers and Mommy insisted that she has someone take care of her.

After lunch, Lucas took Nellie downstairs to a meeting room in the Blue Bay Villa.

A row of women was standing respectfully in a line.

“Little princess, these are the women that applied to be your servant. Mr. Morrison said to let you pick.“

Nellie nodded and walked over.

Too big, no.

Too thin, no.

Too fierce, no.

When Nellie saw the fourth woman, her eyes sparkled. She almost let out a scream.

This woman was Lily, the servant who has been working at Uncle Malcolm’s!

Lily noticed that Nellie recognized her. She winked at Nellie.

Nellie made her decision immediately. “Her! “ Lucas was stumped and confused.

This woman was skinny and petite. She could barely compete with the first few, so why did Nellie immediately pick her?

After picking Lily, Nellie had another look at the other women. She noticed that there were two more servants from Malcolm’s household.

She chose them too.

“Little princess, you’re as decisive as your father, “ Lucas said emotionally, then he got the other women to leave.

Whether it was picking Bethan or picking Lily and the other two, Nellie made her decision firmly.

This decisive way of doing things was exactly like her father.

When Lucas left, Nellie immediately took Lily and the others upstairs.

Bethan was still packing up upstairs.
