Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 1688

The staff looked up. "Are you not having an amicable divorce? Is there a property dispute?"

"Of course, there is!" Neo said straightforwardly. "She had no one to depend on and had no income! Has she lived in my house for ten years for nothing? I even helped her raise her grandson! Who’s paying all that? Two hundred thousand, and I’m already asking for very little!"

The staff immediately glanced at the old lady with contempt. "Is that so?"

At that moment, the old lady was already covered in tears. Could she truly not find a place that would listen to reason? If reason could not work here as well, then she planned to just end her life by banging her head on the pillar. She said with a face full of tears, "I want to ask you people who know the law, are we not a family once I have married him?"

The staff nodded. "Yes."

"Since we’re already a family, then why does he still want to clearly divide everything with me? He had raised my grandson, and I have lived at his house for more than a decade. Since we're already a family, isn't his house also my house?"

"You can't think of it like that! My house is my separate property as it was acquired before the

marriage." The old man was very educated and well versed with the law.

The staff looked at the old lady. "If it was his separate property, then indeed it doesn't belong to you."

The old lady sneered. “Did I say I want to divide half of his house?”

Both the staff and Neo were speechless. Seeing that nobody answered her, the old lady then said with an aggrieved tone, "I have been married to him for ten years. Of course, I know that your house is your separate property! I have also never wanted to divide your property with you. I had never thought of wanting any of your properties, let alone your house! I am here to get a divorce and leave the marriage without taking any possession with me! Haven't you seen the duffel bag that I had taken away yesterday? I am leaving the marriage with nothing!"

She cried. "I have never wanted you to leave the marriage with no possessions! I'm still going to let you stay at my house in the future. We have been married for ten years. We’re already an old couple, so why must we get a divorce? Are you afraid of being laughed at? Have I ever said to let you leave the marriage without taking any properties? As long as you don’t care about your son and your grandson's troubling matters and live your days with me properly, then we can be together forever in this life even though this is our second marriage!" said the old teacher with a dogmatic tone.

The old lady spat at Neo. "I don't want to be with you anymore! Why can't an old scoundrel like you understand it? I'm disgusted by you! I despise you so much now that I feel you're a toad covered in poisonous warts! You're a shameless bandit and a d* mned old man!”

Neo was speechless. After a long while, the staff said," Please calm down!”

The old lady cried. "I am very calmly asking for a divorce. Why is he still stopping me? I have already said that I don't want to be with him anymore! Do you know how much I regret it now? Ten years ago, I was just forty-six years old then. I was still so young, and I could do any sort of work. Even if I simply find a family and be their nanny, they also have to include m y meals and accommodation, and give me three thousand dollars, right? Three thousand...”

Speaking of that, the old lady was almost choked up." Three thousand dollars! How much formula powder can I buy for my grandson with that? Never mind those that are particularly good, even with the average ones that cost a hundred fifty dollars per can, my grandson would also not use up three thousand dollars after consuming four cans of formula powder a month. If I hadn't chosen to marry someone back then, but become someone else’s nanny instead, not only could I raise my grandson, but I also can save almost two thousand dollars a month. If that was the case, then my grandson wouldn’t have no formula powder t o drink when he was just six months old and had to consume batter and milk mixture. My grandson also wouldn’t have to wear hand-me-downs all year round t o the point that he hasn't even bought new clothes until now."

The old lady was still sobbing. "My grandson is already in fourth grade now, but I don’t have the money for his tuition. I don't even have the money to buy him something to eat. In the past ten years I've been in the Dixon family, I bought groceries, did laundry, cooked, and served the old man as if I'm serving my first husband. I treated him as my family and the person that is closest to me.”
