Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom
Chapter 547 For the Blessings

"She told me that Trinity took a stab for you. At that moment... I was truly..." Ivanna's voice trembled, her eyes reddening. "And then Arthur ordered an early return. This time, he's feeling quite guilty too. After all, the people on the ship are either rich or noble."

Ivanna involuntarily hugged me again.

I could imagine the state she was in at that moment. After all, we had been through life and death situations together. When she was in danger, I felt the same way.

I pulled her away gently. "Alright, let's go inside and eat together."

"What do you think? Of course, I'll eat here." She made a face like a rascal, and I couldn't help but laugh.

She grinned, "Ah, it would be great when Lauren comes back. I'll have a place to freeload again, hopping from one place to another. I won't have to cook. It's nice to have my best friend back after all." I snorted, "How do you take care of yourself? It's really worrying. You're a grown person."

We chatted at the doorway for a long time before finally going inside.

My mom, seeing me return, seemed to notice that something was wrong with my expression and hurriedly asked, "Why does your complexion look so bad? Did you not rest well these past two days? Is the food on the ship not to your taste, or were you seasick?"

I deliberately complained, "We talked about things too late last night, so I didn't sleep well. I'm a bit seasick too. I'm so hungry. When are we having dinner?"

Grace immediately got up and rushed to the kitchen. "We'll have dinner right away. I'll inform Molly. You guys wash up and get ready."

Ivanna looked at Grace and whispered to me, "What's happening to her? Has her conscience finally kicked in?"

I playfully nudged her, "Keep your voice down. Don't let her hear you because it'll make her awkward."

Ivanna snorted, "You've forgotten how she bullied you. I'll tell you, you're like a fool, forgiving and forgetting the past."

"You're quite something. Have a bit of compassion, okay? She's an old person with a debilitating illness. Actually, her life is the most pitiful. I hope her last moments can be happy ones." "Fine, you're the only kind one around here, and we're all devils."

I looked at her and smiled. Ivanna was always true to herself.

In reality, if you asked her how much she hated Grace, it might not be that much. It was just that she couldn't stand seeing me suffer, especially from the oppression of the Murphy family. So, her resentment toward Grace was somewhat understandable.

During dinner, Grace kept circling around me and asked, "Um... Did you see him on the ship?"

Of course, I knew she was asking about Matthew. I nodded, "I saw him. It seems like he closed a big deal and was quite pleased with himself."

As expected, when I finished that sentence, Grace's face instantly lit up. I knew she was genuinely happy for her son.

Ivanna snorted and said to Grace, "Looks like you're still on your son's side. Why didn't you ask Chlo if she sealed any deals?"

I glared at Ivanna. "You can't stop talking even when you're eating."

Ivanna helplessly looked at Grace

and asked, "Qld lady, do you understand now? Who's the real good person? It's the one sitting here! Have you seen any girls who still care so much about their ex-mother-in-law?

"Ivanna." I scolded her sternly, "You've gone too far."

Grace hurriedly stopped me and said, "Oh, don't mind her. I've gotten used to her. She's quick with her words but has a soft heart."

Then she looked at Ivanna and

As she said this, her eyes turned red.

Ivanna immediately went silent, stealing a glance at me. I gave her a fierce look.

Grace sniffled and looked at Ava, "I'm just shameless and have no other choice. I just want to spend more time with my granddaughter, live a few more days, and O accompany her more." S

Ava, in her sweet and tender voice, said, "I'll be with Grandma forever. You'll live for a long time."

Her words brought laughter to everyone. Surprisingly, the atmosphere became quite pleasant.

I silently made up my mind. Even if I had to confront Matthew and the others, I would wait until Grace left. I didn't want her to worry about Matthew anymore. Can't I give her a bit of happiness? After all, we were both mothers. Besides, her life had been hard enough.

I would consider this my way of accumulating some blessings for my family.
