Post-Divorce Chaos My Ex-Husband’s Breakdown

Layla had never liked Nadia since she was a child. Layla liked to say, “If your dad had not taken you back, you would have starved to death long ago.. We provided for you and sent you to school. Have we ever mistreated your What’s wrong with us asking you for a favor?

Fortunately, Maddox Crosby, her father, treated her well.

He was the one who brought her back, and he was the first person she saw

Being reminded like this every day. Nadia naturally knew that she was adopted.

Because of this, she had been sad for a long time in her childhood. She didn’t understand why she was different from others. They their parents, but she didn’t.

But now that she had grown up, she was relieved. Perhaps some people were fated to be alone. Their friends, parents, children, and husbands could not accompany them for long. She was destined to live alone.

Nadia could not remember what had happened at that time. She only vaguely remembered that she had been alone in the wilderness for a long time. It was winter. She was cold, hungry, dazed, and scared every day.

When she woke up and saw Maddox hugging and coaxing her, she felt a sense of intimacy and fear. She kept holding onto Maddox. Later, they could not find her family. Maddox piried her, so he adopted her.

In fact, considering their family’s financial situation at that time, it was impossible for them to support another child, Layla didn’t want to take care of one more child, but in the end, she couldn’t persuade Maddox and had to keep Nadia.

Maddox had been a coward all his life, but he was tough when it came to adopting Nadia Although he could not take good care of her because he had been working outside all year round, Nadia still respected and appreciated Maddox.

Nadia came back this time to visit Maddox before going abroad. After all, once she left, she could not come back whenever she wanted like before.

Outside the room, Layla, who did not get any response from Nadia, was throwing pots and pans to vent her anger.

“What happened?” Maddox’s voice came from outside the door.

You adopted a good daughter. It’s not easy for us to raise her all these years. If it weren’t for us. she might be working in a factory now, Would the be able to get married to someone like Matthew? Look at her. She became rich, and she began to look down on her family. What’s wrong with us asking her for a favor?”

Maddox was pleasantly surprised. “Nadia is back?”

Along with the voice, there was a knock on the door.

Nadia went to open the door and saw Maddox standing there.

“Dad,” she called out softly. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Maddox pushed the door open, came in, and murmured, “Ignore your mom. She’s just talking”

Nadia nodded slightly and said, “OK”

Maddox asked, “Why did you suddenly come back alone? Where’s Matthew?”

He Nadia hesitated for a moment before confessing, “I divorced him.

“What?” Maddox became serious, “Why did you divorce him!”

Nadia said, “We’re not suitable for each other.

Maddox frowned. “Was it because of your mom and Jayson?”

Nadia shook her head. “Tell them not to disturb Matthew anymore.”

Maddox looked hesitant. It was not that he didn’t want to do so. He just could not persuade Layla and Jayson. Layla had the final say in this family

Nadia understood his difficulties and said with a smile. “It’s okay. I’ll tell them. I just came back to see you. I applied for a master’s degree at an overseas university, and I’m leaving tomorrow. I will be studying there for two years, so I probably can’t come back often in the future. Take good care of yourself.”

She took out a bank card from her bag and said, “There’s some money on this card. You can use it. Tell me when you need more.”

Maddox hurriedly pushed it back and said, “You have to spend a lot of money outside. Keep it for yourself, I have enough money”

“It’s okay. I can deal with it.” Nadia stuffed the card back into his hand,

Thinking that she was leaving tomorrow, Maddox felt sad. “Why are you leaving so suddenly? It’s so far away abroad. Can you not study in our country?”

“I just want to change the environment and go out to see the world. Don’t worry. Two years will pass quickly” Nadia comforted him. Seeing that Maddox was still worried, she said to him, “And this school’s architectural department ranks fourth in the world. How lucky I was to be accepted!”

Sure enough. Maddox was consoled. He felt both gratified and proud. “That’s great. I knew you were promising

Nadia smiled.

“Auntie Nadia” At this moment, a childish voice sounded. A two–year–old girl rushed over and hugged Nadia’s leg

Nadia bent down and picked her up. “Mia, did you and your mommy

go out to p

out to play?”

The little girl nodded hard and turned to look at Ryann Crosby, her mother, who followed her into the room.

Ryann was Jayson’s wife. They were classmates in high school. They got married two years after graduating from college and had a daughter.

Ryann was beautiful and capable. Starting from a salesperson of an insurance company, she climbed to the position of sales director by herself step by step. Her annual salary was dozens of thousands of dollars, but it was all spent by Jayson on starting his business.

Ryann did not seem to care about this Jayson did not go to work or take care of the child, but she never rowed with him. She worked hard to support the family,

Nadia didn’t know how Jayson had made Ryann willing to provide for him for the past few years. Maybe Jayson was good at sweet–talking and had emotional value for Ryann.

Ryann was not very familiar with Nadia. Seeing Nadia looking at her, Ryann greeted her politely. “Nadia, you’re back.”

Nadia nodded, shifted her gaze to the little girl who was hugging her neck intimately, and reached out to tickle her.

Layla followed them into the room. Looking at the tenderness in Nadia’s eyes, Layla couldn’t help but say sarcastically, “Since you like children so much, hurry up and give birth to a child. Otherwise, when Matthew has a child with someone else in the future, you will regret it.”

After that, Layla muttered, “I don’t know what you were thinking at that time. You couldn’t even keep a child at such a young age. If you had given birth to that child, we wouldn’t need to grovel for a favor now.”

Nadia looked up at her coldly. “Mom, I’ve divorced Matthew. Don’t disturb him anymore”

Layla and Jayson were stunned. “What?”

Nadia didn’t say y much. She had to go back to pack her luggage for her flight in the evening. After saying goodbye to Ryann and Maddox, she left.

Layla and Jayson were still dazed.

“Really? Why did they suddenly divorce?”

Maddox sighed, “Yes, she’s leaving tomorrow.”

Jayson frowned. “Where is she going?”

Maddox said. “She said she was going to study abroad for two years.”

Jayson frowned deeper and didn’t say anything more, but he couldn’t hide anything in his heart. He was anxious, so he went to Matthew’s company

that afternoon.

As soon as he arrived at the company, he said to the girl at the front desk, “I’m looking for Mathew.”

The receptionist looked at him with a smile and asked, “Hello, do you have an appointment!”

Jayson said, “He’s my brother–in–law Why should I make an appointment?”

After that, he was about to walk to the elevator.

The receptionist hurriedly stopped him. “Sir, I’m sorry. I have to confirm it with the president’s office first.

Jayson acted as if he had not heard anything. He pressed the elevator button and wanted to break in, but the security guard hurried forward to stop him. “Sic, I’m sorry. You need to make an appointment to enter the company. Please cooperate with us.”

you that he’s my brother–in–law. Just tell Matthew I came

Jayson was impatient and still wanted to break in, yet the security guard did not dare to let him go upstairs. When they were in a stalemate. Harrison came back and saw the crowd at a glance.

“What happened?” He stepped forward.

“Hello, Mr. Logan” The security guard greeted him respectfully. “This gentleman claims to be Mr. Brock’s brother–in–law and wants to see him,”

Harrison sized Jayson up sispiciously. Jayson was not similar to Nadia at all..

Jayson could tell what Harrison was thinking at a glance.

“Nadia is really my younger sister. If you don’t believe me, you can go upstairs and ask Matthew.”

Harrison was a little surprised. He thought for a moment and said to the security guard, “Let him go upstairs.

The security guard let Jayson into the elevator.

Jayson was not angry with the guard. He just pointed at himself and said, “I told you that Matthew was my brother–in–law, but you didn’t believe

After that he went to the president’s office on the top floor with Harrison.

“Wait outside for a moment. I’ll inform Mr. Brock,” Harrison reminded Jayson in a

in a low voice and then knocked on the door of Matthew’s office. “Mr.

Brock

“Come in,” Matthew said in a deep voice.

Harrison pushed the door open. Just as he was about to speak. Jayson pushed the door from behind and walked up.

“Did you divorce Nadia, Matthew?

Harrison was stunned..

Matthew glanced at him.

Harrison felt a cold sweat break out on his back. “Mr. Crosby came in himself?

Jayson waved his hand casually. “Yes, I’m just anxious”

Then he looked at Matthew and said, “What’s wrong with you two? Why did you suddenly divorce! Nadia is leaving tomorrow.”

Harrison saw Matthew’s hand pause on the mouse and couldn’t help but look at him.

Matthew was as calm as ever. He looked at Jayson and asked, “What’s the matter?

Jayson suddenly felt a little embarrassed. “Actually, it’s not a big deal. I heard that you were divorced, so I was worried about you guys…

Matthew said, “Nadia and I are fine.”

Jayson immediately breathed a sigh of relief. “I knew it. It’s normal for couples to occasionally have some conflicts just coax her.”

Matthew didn’t reply.

Jayson became more and more embarrassed. “By the way, Matthew, the resort project I mentioned before

Matthew turned to look at him. “I’m not in charge of that p

project

Jayson managed to maintain his smile. “I see

He rubbed his hands in disappointment

Jayson had always been careless and overly familiar with everyone. He had no sense of boundary and didn’t think much before speaking or doing things. He had never been reserved in front of Matthew, and this was the first time he had felt embarrassed.

Matthew could feel Jayson’s disappointment and embarrassment. He softened his tone and asked. “By the Laurel Community recently, right?”

“Yes. Nadia doesn’t even have a room to stay when she gets home, so we have to move to a bigger house. I wanted to borrow some money for the down payment… Jayson lowered his voice, not daring to say that Nadia didn’t allow them to do so.

Manhew nodded. “Task Harrison to transfer it to you later.”

Selena had just come in. Hearing this, she stopped and looked at Jayson.

Jayson had already returned to his high–spirited self. “I knew Nadia had chosen the right person. Matthew, you’re a generous man. Your business will definitely become more and more prosperous in the future.”

Selena turned her face away in disgust, and Matthew saw all her movements.

He looked at Selena. “What’s up?”

Selena hid the disgust on her face. Tm here to find Harrison. I’m flying northwest tomorrow. Todd has asked for leave. Harrison, take me to the airpon if you’re free.”

Selena turned to Harrison as she spoke.

Harrison nodded. “Okay, Mrs. Brock

Selena said, “I’ll send you the flight information later.”

After saying that, she glanced at Jayson and then looked at Matthew. She wanted to say something but stopped on second thought

“Mom, you can leave now,” Matthew said. “In the future, if you want to come over, you’d better ask someone to inform me in advance.”

Selena glanced at him and nodded reluctantly. Without another word, she turned around and left.

Jayson looked confusedly at Selena walking away and then at Matthew’s calm, handsome face. “Are you on bad terms with your mom?”

“No,” Matthew replied coldly.

Jayson didn’t care because he just asked casually. He thanked Matthew awkwardly and said, “Then I’ll have to trouble you about the villa,”

Matthew nodded and reached for the report.

Jayson then reminded him earnestly, “I don’t know if Nadia is really going to leave tomorrow. You’re her husband anyway. It’s not a big problem to get her back

Matthew paused for a moment after he took the report, and then he calmly spread it out in front of him.

Jayson didn’t notice anything wrong with Matthew. After giving him some advice, Jayson finally left with satisfaction.

Matthew stared at the report. After a moment of silence, he pushed it away, took another stack of documents, glanced at them, and then put them down. He looked out of the window expressionlessly and rubbed his brow with his fingers.

Harrison had been secretly observing Matthew. He took the opportunity to knock on the door and came in, asking. “Mr. Brock, do we need to postpone tomorrow’s meeting with Mr. Owen!”

Matthew stopped rubbing his brow and then opened his eyes. His expression was as composed as ever.

“No!” he said.
