Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 804

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.

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.
