Chapter 272 What about my happiness?
A few minutes later, Xavier and his wife headed to the living room. They approached the elders and Xavier said, “Grandpa, my father-in-law has asked us to go back home. He indicated that he had an announcement to make.”
Caia became so worried that she placed her hand on her chest and asked, “Avery, is everything alright with your father?”
Avery smiled at Aunt Caia and replied, “Yes, Aunt Caia. If I am not mistaken, Aunt Elizabeth is demanding a divorce because Daddy refused to hand Xavier to Lily. I think she has given Daddy an ultimatum.
However, I am not surprised because Aunt Elizabeth will do anything in her power to make my cousin, Lily, happy.”
Aunt Caia heaved a huge sigh of relief when she heard that Mr Martins was alright. Xavier looked at his aunt’s worried face and smiled faintly.
It was clear to him that Aunt Caia had feelings towards his father-in-law. They bid farewell, and then they left.
As soon as Xavier and his wife left, Caroline smiled at her sister and said, “Caia, there is something I want to show you. Please come with me.” Caia nodded her head, then she followed her sister.
They went to the garden and sat on the bench. Caroline looked at her sister and asked, “Caia, be honest with me, do you have feelings for August Martins?”
Caia didn’t want to hide anything from her sister, she nodded her head and replied, “I fell in love with him at first sight at the Gala, big sister.
The sight of him makes my heart beat uncontrollably against my chest. He is always on my mind.
When Mrs Martins humiliated him in front of everyone my heart ached. I made a silent vow that I would never humiliate him. I will cherish and respect him for the rest of my life. Do you think he is too old for me?”
Caroline shook her head and replied, “No. August is a good man and I believe that you will be very happy with him. I am very proud of you for not interfering in his marriage. I am also glad that it was his wife who initiated the divorce.”
Caia hugged her sister tightly and said, “I was so scared, I thought you would not support me. I love him deeply, big sister.
If he can give me a chance, I will make him happy. I will confess my love to him after Avery’s wedding. Please pray for me, big sis.” Caroline promised to pray for both of them. Caia was happy to gain support from her sister.
On the way to the Martins mansion, Xavier smiled at his wife and asked, “Sweetheart, do you know that my father-in-law has a crush?” Avery looked at her husband puzzled and asked, “What are you talking about, Honey?”
Xavier caressed his wife’s gorgeous face and replied, “Didn’t you notice that Aunt Caia is in love with my father-in-law? How do you feel about that?”
Avery smiled and said, “It would be great if they could get married because I like Aunt Caia a lot.”
A few minutes later, Xavier parked his car in the Martins mansion’s driveway next to Aiden’s car. Xavier walked to his wife’s side and reached out his hand. Avery smiled sweetly at him and took her husband’s hand.
Aiden looked at his sister and her husband; he couldn’t deny that they were a match made in heaven. His baby sister was not inferior to his brother-in-law in terms of beauty and wealth. He walked into the house smiling.
Aiden greeted his parents, then he kissed his mother on both cheeks. His father stood up smiling and opened his arms to hug his son, but Aiden ignored him. He sat on the sofa beside his mother. His father shook his head and sat down.
A few minutes later, Xavier and his wife walked to the living room hand in hand. Mr Martins smiled brightly when he saw his outstanding son-in-law and his precious daughter. He hugged his son in law then he kissed his daughter on both cheeks.
Aiden became annoyed, then he took his mother’s arm and asked, “Dad, why did you call us?” His father looked at his children and said, “I called you here to let you know that your mother and I have signed the divorce papers.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Your mother is adamant about destroying Xavier and Avery’s marriage to make her niece happy. I would never allow that to happen. My daughter’s happiness comes first.”
Aiden looked at his mother with worried eyes and asked, “Mom, I support Dad in this matter. My brother-in-law is not the only man in the world. Don’t you want to reconsider?”
His mother shook her head and replied, “Aiden, I feel like a second fiddle to Avery. Since I got pregnant with your sister, your father has turned his back on me. I became a widow whilst your father was still alive.
Avery took away my happiness, and she owed me my marriage. Hence, I will destroy her marriage. She doesn’t deserve to be happy whilst I am in pain.”
Aiden shook his head and said, “Mom, stop blaming my sister for your own failure. Even though I was young, I’ve seen you pushing my father away. Daddy tried so hard to love you, but you were cruel to him.
One day you will regret the decision you have made today, and I hope it will not be too late. I know that you don’t want to divorce my father, but you are being pushed by your precious niece.”
His mother looked at him and said coldly, “Aiden, please don’t involve Lily in this matter. This is my decision. You are so selfish. You are thinking about yourself. What about my happiness? Do you think I don’t deserve to be happy?”
Aiden shook his head and replied, “Mom, I don’t care anymore. Do as you wish. Don’t come to me crying when your precious niece turns her back on you.”
Then he turned to his father and said, “Daddy, I give you my blessing to divorce my mother. I wish you a blissful life with your future wife. Should my dearest mother regret her decision in the future, please don’t take her back.”
His father was shocked when he heard his son’s words because Aiden loved his mother a lot. He smiled and thanked his son.
