Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom -
Chapter 804 Mental Preparation
She glanced at me. "I don't feel like I'm above her. But every time it involves Trinity, I become secondary.
"Like this time, he promised to accompany me to Bourdamun... but Trinity had something come up, and she disappeared entirely. I get it. The matter is crucial, involving life and death. But is it too much to call and inform me?"
She suddenly sat up, looking at me as if seeking an explanation.
I felt that Jared did indeed go too far this time. Regardless of the urgency, he should have informed Ivanna before leaving.
"Even if it's a waste of time, can't he spare this bit of time for me?" Ivanna then suddenly sighed in despair. "But no, he hasn't given me any notice, and he even started playing the disappearing act.
"Does he really care about me? What if something happened to me? If I'm in danger now, who do I contact?"
Ivanna's words left me feeling a sense of helplessness. I completely understood Ivanna's point. As a lover, Jared's actions were indeed a bit too much.
At the very least, before leaving, Jared should have informed her.
"Don't let this bother you too much. Men, sometimes, can be a bit insensitive." I tried to console her.
She sat on the sofa with her head down, looking unhappy.
"Besides, this situation is indeed urgent and somewhat suspicious. Trinity, out of the blue, has disappeared. We still can't figure out when she was last seen, why she left, and whether she's safe. Everything is unknown..."
While these words were initially meant for Ivanna, they echoed my own concerns.
"I don't have any objections to him rescuing Trinity," she explained. "You know Trinity has bodyguards who are usually by her side. So, a person like her disappearing right under everyone's noses is truly
O
bewildering."
I patted her shoulder, attempting to ease her mind about the situation. Sometimes, people tend to get caught up in trivial matters.
"Try not to dwell on it too much. Give him some space. Remember, Jared is not an ordinary person. If you've chosen him, then days like these may become more common."
Recalling Anson's words, I decided to use this opportunity to provide Ivanna with some advice and a reality check.
I tentatively said, "Jared's burden is quite heavy. The relationship between the Attwood and Huffman families runs deep, and it's probably not as straightforward as we imagine."
Seeing her remain silent, I continued,
"Although you've mentioned that Jared is gradually withdrawing from the Huffman family, from what know completely breaking free from this situation won't be easy. Berhaps even impossible."
My words plunged Ivanna into deeper contemplation. She sat there, hugging her knees, pensive.
After a while, she gave a bitter smile,
and said, Forget it. I won't think about it anymore. In the worst-case scenario, I'll just let go. What else can I do? I can't wait for him forever. That's not my style either."
Although she tried to sound casual, the heaviness in her heart was evident.
"Why are you giving up so easily? I see your attitude toward him, and it looks like you're ready to be by his side forever," I teased, provoking her.
She looked at me and asked, "Really?"
I chuckled, "Of course. I saw you acting all coy around him while having dinner with Lauren, pretending to be innocent. We're not blind." Despite my attempts to provoke her, she looked genuinely puzzled.
