Chapter 496
Timothy was frustrated. “Grandma, why must it be a marriage of love? Marriage
is just troublesome to me.”
“Congratulations then, you'll become single again today. You're free from the
trouble,” Laura retorted.
He was rendered speechless. He just stood there, failing to find the words to
continue the topic.
Laura spoke again. “You should get going. The courthouse is going to close
soon.”
With pursed lips, he finally exited the room.
Laura watched his back and sighed faintly. At the end of the day, she failed to

Martha sneaked into the room. “Mrs. Barrett Senior, why didn’t you persuade
Mrs. Barrett? She respects you. As long as you disagree with the divorce, she'll

“But I don’t think he’s entirely indifferent toward her. They just need time.”
Laura smiled. “That's why I didn’t go along as he wished. He needs a trigger. If
he doesn’t appreciate her and doesn’t win her back, she’ll leave him. Humans
are born this way. We'll never know how precious something is until we lose
them.”
Martha gave it a thought, thinking that it made sense. “What if they really
divorce?”
“They can remarry then. It's not uncommon nowadays.” Laura looked on the
bright side.

at the moment.
The one hour drive was quiet until the car stopped outside the courthouse.
Mia raised her head at the building. She felt like it was just yesterday she had
arrived here.
Many things had transpired during the past month.

“Why do you ask?” she calmly questioned back.
As soon as she asked that, her phone rang.
It was Connor. She turned to pick up the call. “Hello?”
“Mia, I got off work earlier today. I can pick you up from college.”
She quickly said, “You don’t have to. I'm not at college.”
“You're not at college? Where are you?”

Connor's mood brightened. “Okay. I'll see you there.”
The call ended and she looked at Timothy. “Let's go.”
