Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! novel Chapter 916

“I understand,” Julien nodded.

The Old Madam beat her breast and added, “I couldn’t bear it anymore after your dad passed out drinking because of your mother. I went to her and asked her why she didn’t keep her word and what she wanted. Why didn’t she agree to annul the engagement since she didn’t think much of Alexander? Why did she marry into our family? We certainly had given her a chance: she could get back together with Dallin after the annulment of engagement, and the Flint family would pull the Harrow family through the trouble. She, however, had refused to consent. After the marriage, she accepted our help but treated Alexander...”

‘It’s not acceptable for anyone, is it?’

Julien cast his eyes down and made no further reply.

He knew that his mother’s actions were incorrect or even immoral.

But he, as the son, could not directly criticize his mother.

She was the one who gave birth to him even though he had few affections for her.

The Old Madam was always reasonable. She understood Julien’s silence and did not blame him.

After all, commenting on a mother’s behavior was not what a son should do.

Actually, the Old Madam would disapprove of his indication of his mother’s misconduct.

“Grandma, didn’t you give them any advice on divorce?” Julien asked. “You knew that Dallin was the one my mother loved and how much my father suffered. Knowing you, you should have done that. It is a good suggestion for everyone.”

“Of course, I did.” The Old Madam sighed, “I made this suggestion during my conversation with Isabel at that time. She was already pregnant with you then, and I told her that she could abort and pursue her love. But…”

“She still said no?” Julien guessed at what came next.

The Old Madam nodded, “Right. Isabel was exactly a lovestruck girl, but she was very responsible. She rejected my suggestion, saying that she would produce an heir for Alexander, as she had promised him. She said that she would keep her promise and that she would not have an abortion or divorce. In addition, she would leave when you were old enough to understand that your parents divorced because they didn’t love each other. Her seriousness and my eagerness for a grandchild prevented me from persuading her to agree to my proposal. She was carrying you then. And I, to be honest, didn’t have the heart to have her abort. I just didn’t want to see them put each other through torture. Since she clearly stated that she would give birth, I said nothing more.”

“And then?” Julien asked.

The Old Madam took a sip of tea, “I told her that as long as she would not regret it in the future, I respect her choice. She petted her belly and smiled, saying she would not regret it. She said that she and Dallin agreed to wait for each other until they were reunited. In fact, I had known this agreement during the investigation. Instead of telling her I knew this, I pretended to be surprised and told her it was a good idea.”

Speaking of which, she sneered, “Though I said that, I didn’t mean it. It was ridiculous of her to believe that a man would wait for her. Really, she overestimated Dallin’s feelings for her. Why didn’t he speak out against her engagement if he loved her? He never even publicly acknowledged his relationship with her. Instead, she was the one who revealed this secret before the marriage. If a man loves a woman, would he not tell anyone that she is his girlfriend or object to her marrying another man? I never thought Isabel was Dallin’s love. But she, alas…”
