NovelEnglishChapter 040 Strangers after divorce
“Well, girl, since you have decided, grandpa respects your decision.” Grandpa stretched out his hand and tremblingly pointed to
the cabinet not far away, “There is a password box in the bottom drawer of the right cabinet. Take it out.” “Alright.” Jenny walked
over, carefully took out the password box from the cabinet, and then held it in front of Grandpa. “Grandpa, do you remember the
password?” “The password is Grandma’s birthday.” “Grandma?” Jenny is very strange to this title, because this memory is blank
for her. When she entered Smith’s house, Grandma had died of illness. “Barret remembers. You can go to him.” Grandpa’s voice
reminded her. “Alright, thank you, Grandpa.” Holding the password box, Jenny went out with anxiety.
There was no one in front of the door. Barret seemed to have left. Jenny was about to call him when
suddenly another bout of nausea hit her. After vomiting, she was weak and almost had no strength all over her body. Holding the
password box, she staggered back to the room and lay on the sofa. She took out cell phone and called Barret, who was on the
phone. She put down her mobile phone and stared at the password box in front of her eyes. At that moment, a very shameful
idea suddenly appeared in her mind. If? If she told Barret that grandpa didn’t agree with their divorce. Or she said, she didn’t get
the certificate at all, so maybe they don’t need to get divorce. If Laura gets angry and leaves here. Will they be able to return to
the past that no one bothers them? When the baby is born, they will also be the happiest family of three, won’t they?
Just then, suddenly, the door was opened. Jenny immediately put the password box behind her and hid
1. Barret came straight up in a suit and stood in front of her. “Finished talking?” He asked with slow voice that there was no
fluctuation. Jenny smelled the smoke on his body and couldn’t help frowning, “Did you smoke?” “Well, I smoked a little. How
“Wait.” Jenny shouted to him, “Do you regret marrying me?” “No regrets. I have no regrets. It was the best choice at that
time.” His face was cold, and even when he said these words, his tone was the same as usual. But those eyes were as
deep as a pond.
Jenny felt that she couldn’t see through him.
“After divorce, can we still meet and eat together just like old friends?” Jenny suddenly looked into his eyes and asked him
seriously. Barret reached out and rubbed her hair. “What does your little head think all day long? It’s just that after divorce, we
are no longer husband and wife. You’re still my grandfather’s favorite granddaughter of the Smith family.” “Smith family?” “Well,
Grandpa intended to take you as a granddaughter, but then you married me and naturally became a granddaughter-in-law.”
“Even if we get divorced, we will still eat at the same table and chat when having a family dinner. As for friends...” After a halt, he
continued,” I won’t take you as a friend.” Jenny just clenched her hand and heard his voice: “You can be my sister. I can care
about and protect you.” Younger sister? Hehe... Jenny never thought that
after two years of marriage, she would end up being called “sister”.
The most heartache thing is nothing more than that. Barret, you are so cruel. She never wanted to be his friend, and she hated
this so-called “sister”. It’s ridiculous and ironic. “No, Barret, after the divorce, I hope we can look like we’ve never met before. See
you later. You don’t know me, and I don’t know you.” Jenny gritted her teeth and spoke with great heartache. In her heart, even
being a stranger is better than being a sister. She doesn’t want to be his friend. People who have really loved cannot be friends.
“Jenny, do you have to be so heartless? Even if we divorce, you are still grandpa’s favorite granddaughter.” Barret frowned
deeply. Jenny smiled, “You also said that it’s between me and grandpa. I’ll deal with it alone with grandpa. Of course, I’m still
your sister, there’s no need. If I were Laura, I wouldn’t want your ex-wife to be your sister.”
With that, Jenny took out the password box from behind and handed it to Barret. “What is this?” “Grandpa didn’t agree, but he
said he respected my decision. Our certificates were in it. Grandpa said the password was grandma’s birthday that you know.”
Barret took the password box, and his mood suddenly became low. Of course, he knew grandma’s birthday because the day
grandma died was also her birthday. In his eyes, grandpa and grandma had always been deeply in love with each other all their
lives and they were
always united in every occasion they attend. Especially later, when they got old and grandma was in poor health, Grandpa would
hold grandma’s hand tightly no matter where they go. When they were young, grandpa started a business, and grandma
accompanied him to start from scratch. He worked hard from dawn to dusk.
Later, grandpa’s business was successful and his career was also booming. His life finally improved. But after a few good days,
grandma found out a lot of diseases. Some were chronic diseases, which are very painful. When he was young, one of the
words he heard most from his grandfather was, “Barret, be good and don’t make grandma angry, or grandpa will beat you.”
That’s true. He remembered once that he was so tired that he slept on his grandma’s lap for several hours. But it was a rainy day
that day. Grandma had rheumatism, and her waist and legs hurt, which was very painful. In order not to disturb his sleep, she
insisted for several hours. Later, grandma’s legs hurt for a whole month. She moaned every night and couldn’t sleep at all.
Grandpa punished him for standing all day the next day, and he was not allowed to eat all day. In my impression, it was the first
time that grandpa punished him like that. No one dared to persuade. Later, grandma knew and became angry, so grandpa didn’t
continue to punish At that time, he was young and didn’t know much. Now, he had understood the deep love of his grandparents,
but his grandma had already left. Seeing Barret’s eyes turn red, Jenny said with concern, “What’s the matter? I’ve never heard
you mention grandma. Is there anything wrong?” “No one in the whole family dared to mention it because he was afraid of
Grandpa’s sadness.” Jenny didn’t dare to ask more. Looking at the password box, she asked, “Do you remember this password?
If you remember, open
it!”.
