The Drama Queen Wants a Divorce Chapter 30
Even after Edith and Miriam left, James remained on the balcony, standing there like a statue, his thoughts unfathomable.Soon, it was time for dinner, with Edith and Miriam taking their seats first.James would usually sit beside Edith, but Yvie snatched his chair away, even sticking her tongue out at him provokingly.There was nothing to be read from James' face as he took the seat opposite Edith.Miriam was speechless watching her children. "You're both thirty soon but still behaving like kids."Yvie shrugged. "He deserves that much. I've read the gossip—I would've murdered him if I were Edith."Then, sitting beside Edith, she winked at her. "Don't worry, I've got your back."Edith smiled. "Thanks.""Worry about yourself first. Divorcing without a single warning and running back to us? I have yet to punish you for that."Nathan's voice rang as a maid wheeled him to the main seat.Yvie rolled her eyes.Still, the vibe around the dining table wasn't solemn like Shatner Hous

Kicking the cobblestones by her feet, Edith replied, "Nathan says that we can wait until the family dispute is over, and then he'll agree to our divorce."Miriam pursed her lips, displeased. "Can't wait to get your divorce, can you? Tell me, how does my son fall short?"Edith smiled wryly.Nothing was wrong with him.She just wasn't the one he wanted.Still, why was Miriam talking like she was reluctant to see her go?As such, Edith joked, "Why don't you seem so happy? This is good news, since I remember how you really didn't like me back then."Miriam was stumped.But it was true—she had a major meltdown, freaking out at Nathan when he told her he wanted to repay Melody's favor by arranging for James to marry Edith.She called him mad, even starving herself in protest.And because of that, she despised Edith for the longest time.Even so, if she was being honest with herself, she had tried her best but couldn't find any flaw in Edith for two years.Other matters notwithsta

Nathan could see Edith's hesitation from her silence, so he quietly promised, "When this is over and you still want a divorce, I will personally see it done.""Alright." Edith nodded. "I promise."She made up her mind—she really couldn't afford to be distracted and didn't want an endless tug-of-war against James to get a divorce.So why not use the time to focus on her own career? And she'd be doing him a favor by giving him time.Having come to an agreement, Edith left Nathan's study and found James coming upstairs, probably having something to discuss with his father.Edith said nothing as she quietly walked past him. She was not bothered to look his way even though it had been a week since they last met.James watched darkly as she headed downstairs and only headed inside Nathan's study when he heard his father cough loudly. "You should have stayed at the hospital."Nathan chuckled as he looked up. "Now that's a couple for you—you both said the exact same thing."Remembering

Edith had no idea what the mother and daughter pair were arguing about, but she wasn't interested in the Shatner family's matters anyway.She would divorce James and make sure nothing tied them together again—inheritance or not, she just wasn't interested.Then, before Yvie could speak further, Miriam turned to her. "Nathan wants to talk to you. He's in the study."Edith nodded and headed to the study.She entered to find Nathan in a wheelchair, the heater turned on full blast, and a thin blanket over his lap."You were asking for me, Pops?" she asked.Nathan nodded. "Come in."Edith closed the door and sat on the couch opposite him.Looking closely, she saw that his complexion had improved, but his voice still sounded weak. "You should've stayed at the hospital, Pops."Nathan smiled faintly. "I really can't stand the scent of medicine and antiseptic, and the doctor said it's fine if I come home to rest."Edith nodded, and Nathan stared at her in turn.Suddenly, he asked ver

Spinning the wheel, Edith turned the car and headed straight for Nathan's home.She arrived to find James' car stopped where it usually was, and the man himself was standing beside it, taking a call.He must be back from his business trip.As Edith turned off the ignition and got out of her car, James had put away his phone and was looking her way, their eyes met unwittingly.It had been a week since they met, and they had never been apart this long.If he ever went on business trips, she would throw a fit and insist on following.Still, while the week felt strange to her, his handsome face still felt like a punch to the gut.In fact, she somehow thought he looked even more handsome now and noted in exasperation that she was really beyond saving—how could she allow herself to be bewitched to this extent?They said love filled one's stomach, and she certainly believed that as she was sure she could go three days without food by just staring at James' face.If he traveled abroad

Fighting back the strange feeling in his heart, James grabbed Edith's wrist and warned, "Don't bother Susie. She's not going to take your place."Edith could naturally read between the lines—he was convinced she was jealous of Susie, so she was trying to screw with Susie on purpose.It had been two years, but he still knew nothing of her character.And Edith thought it was quite tragic—and so utterly frivolous of her, being the lovesick simpleton like she was.Her lips curled up sarcastically. She said, "Don't worry. I wouldn't have to mess with your dear Susie if not for my mother's belongings. As for being Mrs. Shatner, I have absolutely no issue letting her take my place!"James' gaze darkened at the last part—was she that eager to leave him?He squeezed her hand without knowing it, and Edith gasped in pain, "You're hurting me! Let me go!"James seemed to come to his senses just then, not liking how easily she could manipulate his emotions and deny him a sense of control.Le
