Divorcing My Husband Over His Stepsister's Secret novel Chapter 325

Chapter 325

ABHAY POV

After Noia went to school with Martha, I finally had some time to myself, I sent documents to Daniel for relocating abroad

Once Nora’s condition improved, I planned to take her sway. The longer we waited, the more complicated things would became.

Daniel responded quickly. “Everything looks fine. Are you in a hurry, Ms. Anderson? I can arrange it quickly through my contacts,”

“There’s no rush. Nora’s condition has been fluctuating lately. We’ll leave once she’s better.”

He sounded melancholic. I hope Nora recovers soon.”

I thanked him again. Without Daniel’s help, I wouldn’t have had so much time with Nora.

He changed the subject. “Has Emily contacted you by any chance?‘

“Emily? No, what’s this about?”

“Emily somehow heard that we’re planning to investigate the Hamilton family. She came asking me for hidden cameras and recording devices…”

I felt alarmed. “Did you give them to her?”

“No, that’s why I told her to consult you first. Without your approval, I would never provide her with equipment.”

I exhaled heavily. “I understand. I’ll call her.

I recalled why I’d initially wanted to target the Hamilton family. Partly because learning about Frank’s feelings toward me had disgusted me. The other reason was for Emily’s sake. I didn’t want her to be taken advantage of by Ethan without consequences.

I had only discussed this with Daniel and Michael recently, figuring out how to avoid legal boundaries while gaining police support to dismantle Frank’s

club.

Regardless of how Emily heard about this, her acting rashly was absolutely out of the question! Without protection, her actions could trigger retaliatory attacks!

After sorting through my thoughts, I called Michael first. His response chilled me. “The police have never disclosed this matter to anyone.”

I thanked him and decided to call Emily directly. Just as I was about to dial, my phone rang…

I dressed casually, waiting for Blake to pick me up. He had called earlier, asking if we wanted to pick up Nora from school together.

I heard the anticipation in his voice, but I still declined.

Lately, Blake had been trying to take Nora and me out. I wasn’t sure if he wanted to make amends or simply experience having a wife and child by his side.

Nora’s condition wasn’t suitable for crowded places, and I didn’t want to go out alone with him either. I had refused all his invitations.

I didn’t want to be entangled with Blake anymore. Eventually, I would take Nora and leave. I hoped it would be quiet and unnoticed.

Blake ignored my refusal and continued, “Aren’t we taking Nora to the hospital tomorrow? It’s a good opportunity to talk with her teachers about her situation.”

I hesitated, thinking of various excuses.

But Emily’s situation wasn’t so urgent that it couldn’t wait. Besides, if I mentioned having something to resolve, Blake would certainly press for details.

In just one week, BlueWave Technologies had secured more major projects than in the previous three months. Daniel had informed me that although Blake-

hadn’t directly Intervened, he had pulled strings behind the scenes.

After consideration, it seemed there was no excuse more important than Nora.

About two hours later, the front door suddenly opened. Alske strade in, rusting like the wind. ‘Anna, have you been waiting long?”

“No… Why so early?”

It wasn’t yet time for Nora’s dismissal. I had been dozing on the sofa.

“I compressed several meetings to come back early specifically.”

Blake’s blue eyes were brighter than the sunlight outside. He stood before me and performed a gentleman’s bow. “May I invite you for afternoon tea? My secretary booked a restaurant with an especially elegant atmosphere.”

As he bowed, he took my hand and squeezed it twice before pressing it against his chest.

His strong heartbeat pulsed against my palm, instantly pulling up painful memories that made me jerk my hand back violently.

“Nora isn’t home. You don’t need to act like this.”

I turned away, uncomfortable with his flimsy excuses. He didn’t even like afternoon tea.

I didn’t need him to do these things for me!

“No thanks, I ate at lunch,” I coldly refused.

Blake’s bright blue eyes immediately dimmed, radiating disappointment.

“I haven’t eaten anything. I’ve been busy with meetings. Won’t you just accompany me?”

I felt the understanding between us had reached a critical point. “Nora isn’t home. You don’t need to pretend.”

“Who’s pretending?” Blake’s voice grew hoarse. “When have I ever pretended in front of you? When we first married–that was pretending. Standing straight, always presenting myself perfectly to you. Not daring to get too close, afraid I’d fall for you, yet perversely wanting you to like me. That was pretending!”

Blake lifted me from the sofa, his arms encircling my waist, his chin resting on my shoulder.

“I pretended for too long before. Now I only want to show you my most authentic self. I deeply regret wasting so much of our time.”

My voice was stiff. “You don’t need to go to such lengths for me. We’re only doing this for Nora…”

‘I’m doing it for you too!” Blake interrupted.

“Blake…” I attempted to interrupt him.

‘I’ve read every mood update you posted on social media, countless times. If you could love me for so many years, why can’t I love you for just as long? What are you resisting? Why won’t you believe me?”

‘Blake… that’s all in the past. Please stop!”

I didn’t want to hear it!

‘Let me finish!”

His determined gaze fixed on me. “I love you. We can start from the beginning, but allow me to take a shortcut. Count those three years we lost as part of my time longing for you. I don’t want to waste any more time!

As I watched Blake’s lips moving, I could barely hear what he was saying anymore.
