Chapter 245
When Soren was that persistent, the silence of letting him do whatever he wanted was all I had.

Sarah and I had taken turns caring for my grandmother over the past few days. Thanks to Soren, the director of the hospital had sent their best team to handle my grandmother‘
A week later, she had made a remarkable recovery. She seemed reinvigorated and was ready to be discharged.
I arrived at the hospital early in the morning to assist with the discharge process.
Then, my aunt and I drove her home together.
My grandmother mentioned my “mysterious friend who helped us” and asked if we had thanked him.
I glanced at the rearview mirror and nodded. “Oh, I treated him to a meal.”
Sarah met my eyes through the mirror and asked, “It’s not Mr. Kenway, right?”
I shot her a look. I wanted to deny it, but… should I?
If I ended up with Soren one day, my grandmother and aunt would have to know. Maybe I should prepare them
now.
“Mm–hmm,” I said quietly.
My aunt’s suspicion was immediate. “Is he into you or what?”
1 hesitated for a moment before replying, “He… seems to be interested that way, not gonna lie. But I don’t think we’re a match. Our statuses are too different.”
My grandmother nodded. “Exactly. We’re no match for a family as noble as the Kenways. Just the Kennedys alone are enough of a problemn. If the Kenways decide to take advantage of you, you’ll have no way out.”
“That’s not gonna happen, Grandmal The Kenways are good, upstanding people. Soren is especially like that!” I argued instinctively.
My aunt stared at me pointedly through the mirror. “Have you… fallen for him?”
“No! I was just telling the truth,” I fibbed.
Why did I lie? Because I had a feeling my grandmother and aunt would be against us being together.
My grandmother sighed as if worried.
The car sank into a heavy silence for a while before my aunt asked, “So… how’s your annulment process going?”
I tensed at the reminder. Tomorrow was the last day for Edward to appeal! If he didn’t… we would finally be divorced!
“I’ll be free from him completely after tomorrow.”
“That’s good.” My grandmother and aunt sighed in unison. ‘You’ve only just regained your freedom, dear. Please don’t rush into another relationship just because of sweet nothings.”
“I know, I know. I’ll think it through. I’m not interested in a relationship right now anyway.”
After dropping my grandmother off, I had a quick lunch and returned to the office to work.

Chapter 245
I checked the calendar–sure enough, tomorrow was the last day Edward could appeal.
After that, everything would be settled.
Suddenly, my heart raced. I felt a wave of anxiety. “Edward, I swear to God, please don’t even think about appealing!”
Unfortunately, disaster struck. 1 received a call.
It felt like a bucket of cold water had been thrown over me. My rage flared instantly.
The court informed me that Edward had appealed. Our case would be reopened.

I was so furious that the first thing I wanted to do was call Edward and scream at him. But before I could act, my reason returned to me.
