Chapter 24 Are You Blind

“Why are you asking? And why should I tell you?” Grace stood up calmly and gave Benjamin a disdainful look.

All of a sudden, Benjamin remembered that they were divorced. He had no right to question Grace about her relationships any more.

The thought of her in another man’s arms made him uncomfortable.

She used to be his and should still be his. This sense of possessiveness came out of nowhere,

“Why did we get divorced?” he asked coldly.

Grace smiled coldly. “It’s been so long. What’s the use of asking about this now?”

Meeting his gaze, she said firmly, “I divorced you because I had had enough of you!”

“Why weren’t you satisfied? For the past three years, I have given you everything, from the clothes you wore to the food you ate.

“I even gave you an important position in my company. How’s that any different from your life right now?”

Benjamin paused, remembering how Grace had seduced him the day before she asked for a

divorce.

“Is it because I didn’t have S** with you?”

He had avoided having S** with Grace because he felt uncomfortable about it.

She had once mumbled the name of another man in her sleep. Ever since then, his pride hadn’t allowed him to sleep with her.

Grace scoffed at that. “What kind of logic is that?”

“I can satisfy you now!” Benjamin took a few quick steps up to her and grabbed her face, leaning down to k*ss her.

Grace pushed him away and slapped him hard.

Pain flared through his cheek. Benjamin felt the inside of his cheek with his tongue, anger rolling inside of him. He couldn’t understand Grace at all,

Grace’s eyes were damp with tears. Her breathing was heavy from how angry she was.

Did this dumbass really think that she left him because they weren’t having S**?

Why had she even fallen in love with him in the first place?

She forced herself to calm down. “You’ve only ever seen what you wanted to see in these past three years. You’re no better than a blind man!”

She lowered her eyes. “No, I was the blind one. I shouldn’t have thought that you would ever change and fall in love with me.

“From now on, we will have nothing to do with each other. Please stop harassing me.”

Picking up the pocket watch, she walked past him and out of the door. “Sign the divorce papers as soon as you can before I’m forced to take the legal route.” Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

The door slammed behind Benjamin, leaving him stunned and speechless.

All he could think of were Grace’s reddened eyes.

She had never shown this side of herself to him before, and it made him think. Had she really been so unhappy during their marriage?

Grace ran straight to the balcony and leaned against the railing, watching the sea in the distance. As she stood in the warm night breeze, she sighed.

“Here, use this.” A handkerchief appeared.

Turning, she saw a good–looking man behind her.

He was tall and dressed in a tailored suit. His eyes were flirtatious as he smiled at Grace.

When Grace didn’t accept his handkerchief, Timothy wiped away her tears for her.

“Your eyes are too pretty to be full of tears. It would be a pity if they got swollen. How about I cry on your behalf?”

Timothy had come to the balcony and happened to see the woman who had piqued his interest at the auction earlier.

Under the night sky, she looked beautiful and delicate as tears ran down her face. Her gown danced slightly in the breeze.

He was mesmerized by her.

Grace couldn’t help but laugh at his teasing. She took the handkerchief and wiped her tears

away.

Timothy introduced himself. “Hello, my name’s Timothy Donegan, the president of the Donegan Group. And you are?

“Thanks for raising the bid for my diamond bracelet earlier. I’ll send you a gift someday.” Grace’s smile disappeared. So this was her “enemy“, Timothy D
