Out of Ashes Into His Heart novel Chapter 28

Two years…

I couldn't endure even a single day more!

"There's another way," Tom said casually, his tone composed.

"What way?"

He smiled faintly. "Let's go inside, and you can brew me some tea. Then I'll tell you."

Hearing he had a solution filled my heart with hope. When the elevator arrived, I quickly pressed the button.

We soon reached the eighth floor.

But as I stepped out, a low, angry voice cut through the air. "Grace!"

The moment I heard that all-too-familiar voice, my heart jolted. I instinctively turned toward the source, only to see Gavin standing outside my apartment door, his face dark with fury as he strode toward me.

"You've gotten bold, haven't you? Hiring someone like Mr. Cook—"

He stopped mid-sentence when his gaze shifted to Tom behind me. He froze in place, his expression stiffening. "Tom? What are you doing here?"

Before Tom could reply, I glared at Gavin coldly. "I should be the one asking that. What are you doing here?"

Gavin's eyes moved away from Tom and landed back on me. His lips pressed into a thin line. "Who helped you hire Mr. Cook? Grace, have you already found someone else? Is that why you want a divorce?"

"What are you talking about?" I asked, momentarily stunned, unsure if I had heard him correctly.

He let out a mocking laugh. "Someone like you couldn't possibly hire Fuvine's Sure-Win Attorney, Mr. Cook. Tell me, who's your lover?"

"Lover?" I stared at him in disbelief, anger simmering beneath my skin. "Gavin, do you really not know why I want a divorce?"

He sneered, the corners of his lips curling. "Who knows if it's just some excuse? I've told you—Mandy and I are innocent. You just refuse to believe me."

Then, his brow furrowed as he continued pressing, "So, who's behind this? Who's your lover?"
