Chapter 50 Show Me the Divorce Papers
At that moment, Mr Martins walked to the living room and said, “Elizabeth, please show me the divorce papers you told your son that I gave them to you to sign.” Elizabeth looked at her husband with tears in her eyes, but she didn’t utter a word. Then he looked at Aiden with cold eyes and asked, “Why don’t you ask your beloved mother to show you the divorce papers?”
It dawned on Aiden that his mother was lying to him and asked, “Mommy, were you lying to me?” His mother looked at him and replied, “Aiden, you misunderstood Mommy. I didn’t say that your father gave me the divorce papers, but I said he asked for a divorce.” Aiden looked at his mother in a new light and replied, “Mommy, are you using me to fight with my sister?”
Mrs Martins looked at him with sorrow and replied, “I am sorry my dearest son, I didn’t know that after I told you about my divorce you would confront your father. You told me that you would go to your sister’s room to apologize. I was surprised when you told me that you went to your father’s study room and exchanged harsh words with him.”
Mr Martins looked at his son coldly and said, “I didn’t raise you to be disrespectful and to interfere in our affairs. Has your mother taught you to be rude? Not even once did I raise my voice to my adoptive parents, even if they were wrong, but my son raised a voice to me. I am so disappointed in you, Aiden.” His son looked at him with tears in his eyes and replied, “I made a mistake, Daddy. Please forgive me.”
Mr Martins looked at him and said, “Avery asked me not to divorce your mother because she didn’t want to hurt your feelings, but now I have changed my mind. I will surely divorce your mother because she is manipulative and evil. If you want to leave with her, go ahead. I don’t have a brainless son like you. I think Avery is better off without a spineless brother like you.”
Aiden looked at his father with tears in his eyes and said, “I am sorry, Daddy, I was set up by Avery. She didn’t explain to me that you didn’t buy the Galaxy Star Projector, but it was a gift from her nanny.” His father looked at him with disdain in his eyes and asked, “Did you give your sister a chance to explain? Would you believe her if she told you that her gift was from Bridgette?”
Aiden looked down; deep down in his heart he knew that he wouldn’t believe that such an expensive gift was from a mere nanny. Where did she get the money from? Was it from her parents? He was aware that the Evans family was not poor. Maybe they gave Bridgette pocket money.
Aiden looked at his father and said, “Butler Bruce told me that Bridgette doesn’t lack money. What was she doing before she came to our home?” His father looked at him and replied, “It’s none of your business. Stop disrespecting Bridgette. Elizabeth, I am warning you. Stop deceiving my son.” He looked at them coldly, and then he went to his study room.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Aiden had mixed emotions; it was clear that his beloved mother lied to him. However, he felt guilty for causing a rift between his parents. He was very sad for his mother. He wished that his uncle was back from Australia to intervene in his parents’ marriage.
At the mall, Bridgette and Avery went to His Own Image Boutique to meet Bridgette’s mother and Aunt Rose. When they entered the Boutique, they saw Mrs Evans talking to the lovely lady. They approached them smiling and stood next to them. Her mother turned her head and their eyes met.
Mrs Evans was over the moon when she saw them. She hugged her daughter and kissed her god granddaughter and said, “Let me introduce you. This is Miss Joy Dube, the founder of His Own Image Boutique. Joy, this is my daughter, Bridgette, and my god granddaughter, Avery Martins.” Joy smiled brightly and replied, “Nice to meet you, Miss Evans. You are so beautiful.” Bridgette reached out her hand and shook Joy’s hand, smiling and replied, “Pleasure is mine, Miss Dube.”
Then Joy looked at beautiful Avery and said, “What a beautiful child, are you related to CEO Martins of the Martins Group?” Avery smiled and replied, “He is my father.”
Joy was overjoyed and took Avery in her arms and replied, “I am so happy to meet you, Miss Martins. When I was at school, your father believed in me in such a way that he opened doors for me. If he didn’t choose me, I don’t know what I would have become. Your father is a good man.” Then she put her down.
At that moment, Aunt Rose approached them and took Avery in her arms. She kissed Bridgette on both cheeks and said, “I was so happy when your mother told me that you wanted to spend time with us. I really missed you guys.” Bridgette smiled and replied, “Aunt Rose, please come back home. We really missed you.”
Aunt Rose smiled brightly and promised to come back home soon. She looked at Avery with loving eyes and said, “Congratulations, my beautiful granddaughter. You made the Martins family proud.”
Avery smiled brightly at Grandma Rose and replied, “Thank you so much Grandma. I missed you so much. Please come back home. Our home is not the same without you. I missed your smiling face and your cooking.”
Grandma Rose smiled brightly and replied, “I missed you too, my lovely Avery. I am accompanying Grandma Suzie at the moment, but I will come back home soon. I will call your father and ask him to allow you to spend the weekend at the Evans family.” Avery smiled brightly at her grandmother because she didn’t want to go back home to face her brother.
Aunt Rose then took her phone and dialed her nephew’s number. When it was connected, she said, “Hello my handsome nephew, are you well?” August smiled and replied, “Hello Aunt Rose, I am well, thank you. How are you?” Aunt Rose indicated that she was well and said, “August, I missed my granddaughter a lot. Do you mind if she spends the weekend with the Evans family?”
August replied, “We missed you too, Aunt Rose. You have been accompanying Mrs Evans for weeks. Please tell me, when are you coming back home?” Aunt Rose smiled and replied, “My heart becomes bitter when I think about your wife. Give me some time to heal, my handsome nephew.”
August said, “I understand, Aunt Rose. I will ask Bridgette to visit her family with Avery for a few days. Elizabeth has sowed a discord between my children. I decided to divorce her.” Aunt Rose wasn’t surprised when she heard August’s words. Elizabeth was evil and selfish; she didn’t deserve her kind-hearted nephew. Aunt Rose thanked her nephew, and then they hung up.
