Out of Ashes Into His Heart novel Chapter 48

"You clearly want to divorce Gavin so badly, yet you're still hanging on to him. I think you don't actually want to get a divorce!" Mandy said.

I sneered. "What I choose to do is none of your business. And by the way, you seem to have misunderstood something..."

I paused for a moment, speaking clearly. "It's Gavin who keeps bothering me. If you're really capable, why don't you make sure he never shows up in front of me again?"

"Fine." Mandy nodded repeatedly. "You'd better keep your word. Don't worry. I won't let Gavin come after you anymore. I'll definitely make sure he agrees to the divorce."

With that, she turned and left.

I watched her retreating figure, feeling like the world had become a bizarre dream.

How could someone like her even exist?

I let out a deep breath.

While what she said was infuriating, there was one thing she said that actually felt beneficial.

She promised not to let Gavin come after me and that she would ensure he agreed to the divorce.

I hoped she would actually follow through.

...

After returning from the bathroom, I went back to the banquet hall.

Tom was still standing in the same spot, but now only Greg was beside him. Everyone else had dispersed.

I immediately walked toward the two of them.

"You know, if you had been as decisive back then as you are now, others wouldn't have beaten you to it. You wasted two years of your life! By now, you'd probably have a kid on the way!"

"Shut up!"

With a mischievous grin, Greg glanced at Tom and said, "Tom said you like cherry cake, so I just grabbed it for you."

I looked at Tom in surprise. I didn't expect him to know I liked this.

Tom glared at Greg before tearing open the packaging and handing me a small fork. "Here. Try it."

"Thank you."

I eagerly took the fork and popped a cherry into my mouth.

The sweet and tart flavor of the cherry mixed with the rich cream exploded in my taste buds. I couldn't help but smile, my eyes curving with delight. "Mm! It's delicious."

But when I looked up at Tom, I found him staring at me, lost in thought...

I was puzzled.
