Chapter 293
Had the Fulton family fallen into disarray?
On the other side, Edith wasn't exactly in tears but wore a troubled expression. Without Shane's constant
persuasion, she would have gone to Xavier or Lily to Demand answers by now. Everyone had expected Xavier to
handle things quickly, but there was still no word after so many days.
"We're not getting a divorce," Xavier said fimnly
Shane froze momentarily, and even Tamara, sitting at the desk, lifted her head to look at Xavier. His words were
unexpected.
"So, have you and Lily talked things through? shane asked,
Xavier paused for a few seconds, his tone slightly less confident than before, "I'll investigate the so-called affair
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshe's talking about."
In other words, they hadn't talked things through yet,
Shane realized the problem was on Xavier's side. Whether they divorced or not, he needed to explain to Lily. He
agreed with Xavier's stance, but before he could nod, Tamara interrupted.
"A married couple should at least trust each other. It's almost the end of the year, and you're letting these things
occupy your mind. You're wasting time!"
"Honey!" Shane quickly walked over, standing next to Tamara. "You can't say that Family matters are definitely
more important than work!"
She didn't understand, as he had always been focused on her. She only knew that this issue had divided Xavier's
attention.
She had noticed earlier that his schedule was packed with tasks that should have been finished months ago, but
nothing had been dealt with.
"If she trusts you, there's no need for . If she doesn't, then-
Before she could finish, Shane covered her mouth and pulled her toward the door.
"Xavier, finish your work and get srest. Your mom and 1 just cto check in, nothing else. We'll leave
now..."
Xavier nodded, about to get up to see them out, but Shane motioned for him not to. After all, he couldn't keep
Tamara's mouth covered until they entered the elevator.
Covering her mouth for this little bit would take days of coaxing afterward. Xavier understood what Tamara
wanted to say. The constant had affected his work and mood.
At first, he didn't believe Lily really wanted a divorce. He was angry that she had messed up his life and work.
Now, she truly wanted one.
As long as he let go, he could regain his former calmness and wisdom, no longer disturbed by anything related to
her. But for sreason, he didn't want to divorce her.

Lily's image unconsciously appeared in his mind. She was gentle and serene in the past, always wearing a faint
smile.
Every day, when he chfrom work, he would see her pure, stunning face. But now, every the saw
her, she had a cold expression.
He felt a sense of regret and reluctance. No, it wasn't that he didn't want a divorce, nor that he regretted losing
Lily-he was just unwilling to let their marriage end because of a misunderstanding and her foolishness.
As the night wore on, he made himself a cup of coffee and sat at his desk, working late into the night to catch up
on tasks. Otherwise, Tamara's anger would sooner or later land on Lily...
On Monday, Lily arrived at work with dark circles under her eyes. She should have had her phone on silent
during work hours, but she had only lowered the volume.
Today was the last day to pay the hospital fees. She wasn't sure if Bobby had paid it yet. What if the hospital
couldn't reach them, or worse, couldn't reach her, and they kicked Hayden out?
The whole morning passed without a call from the hospital, and she sighed in relief.
