When Love Breaks by jack

Nobody expected Ramona, with her seemingly kind and gentle eyes, to come

at Bryant with such a sharp retort. It took all I had to suppress my laughter.

But then again, I seemed to be the only one who could find humor in the

situation.

The air was thick with awkwardness. What made things awkward wasn’t

Ramona’s statement. It was that I, his ex-wife, happened to be right there.

I lowered my head, pretending to be engrossed in the view outside the

window, trying to make myself inconspicuous.

The snow outside, not yet melted, was blinding.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

I felt a gaze fixed on me and then heard Bryant’s calm voice, “Yes, freshly

divorced.”

Ramona glanced at Dorothy, her tone cooling, “I heard you played a part in

this?”

“Grandma…” Dorothy frowned, shooting me a veiled glare before gracefully

sitting beside Ramona, gently shaking her arm. “Who’s been filling your head

“I’ll ask you just one thing.” Ramona eyed Dorothy coldly, “The day you

announced your engagement, was their divorce final?”

Of course, it wasn’t. Dorothy knew that better than anyone.

She was secretly grinding her teeth, but her face was playing it cool, all

innocent-like. “They hadn’t finalized their divorce then, true, but if Bryant was

willing to divorce for me, doesn’t it mean he loves me more than…”

“Enough!” Ramona’s voice thundered, a flush of anger crossing her face,

“Who raised you to be so shameless? If you dare repeat that outside, you’re

no longer a Myers!”

Dorothy was stunned. Then, her gaze landed on me angrily. “Jane, did you

say something to Grandma? Making her think even her granddaughter…”

Ramona frowned. “What does this have to do with Jane? Don’t direct your

misplaced anger at my esteemed guest.”

It dawned on her that I hadn’t said anything to Ramona.

Ramona eyed Dorothy, her anger surging. “You’ve been spoiled rotten by

your mother, haven’t you? What stopped you from continuing? Speak!”

“I…” Dorothy swallowed her words, muttering, “Anyway, you always take

Gregory’s side over mine!”

Bryant’s eyelashes fluttered, hiding whatever emotion he felt before looking

up and speaking slowly, “Ramona, don’t be mad at Dorothy. I hadn’t acted

appropriately.”
