You Had This Divorce Coming Chapter 247
Lucille wore a black-and-white striped shirt with the collar open, revealing the graceful line of her neck. She paired it with a high-waisted black A-line skirt and heels that made her legs look even longer.She carried herself with a cool, unsettling elegance, sharp as a freshly unsheathed blade.Standing there, she and Gideon formed the starkest of contrasts. She seemed lit from within, while he looked hollowed out.Lucille was on a call. Gwen had heard the news from Otto and called immediately."Lucy! You're going to city hall with Gideon? Something this big, and you didn't think to tell me?""Today is just the application. The actual divorce won't be finalized for another month. I can handle this on my own," Lucille explained."Absolutely not!" Gwen shot back. "As your best friend in the world, I'm telling you this seriously. I am there for every major milestone in your life. No more doing things without telling me, like when you had the baby! I will be devastated."Lucille

Gideon slumped in his chair and pressed two fingers hard against his temple, struggling to keep his emotions under control.A moment later, Daphne knocked and stepped inside. Her heels clicked across the floor with their usual decisive rhythm."Gideon, where are the documents Mark brought up for your signature yesterday? I want to take another look."Without a word, Gideon pulled out the top document and handed the rest to her. The movement was mechanical.Daphne immediately noticed how pale he looked. "What happened? Are you all right?"Gideon buried his face in both hands. His voice was hollow. "I'm fine. Daphne. I've decided to go through with the divorce."Lily can stay with her. Whatever she wants in the settlement, let her have it. She gave me five years of her life, and I never even gave her a proper wedding. I've owed her more than I can ever repay."Daphne froze.A moment later, her expression hardened. "I'll support you if you want to compensate her, as long as it's r

It felt like a long, exhausting tug-of-war finally reaching its end. Both sides had been worn to the breaking point, and then the other side simply let go of the rope.What Lucille felt in that moment was not relief. It was a sudden, unsettling weightlessness.Her heart had been suspended for so long that, when it finally fell, it hit the ground and left behind an emptiness she had no name for.She sat with it for a while. Then she typed a single word.Lucille: [Okay.]…In the living room of Evercrown Residences, Gideon sat alone. The bottle of red wine was empty. Half a glass remained untouched.The windows stood open. The deep autumn cold drifted inside and settled into his bones, but it did nothing to ease the turmoil in his chest.He had typed and erased the message a dozen times, his fingertips turning white from the force of his grip, before finally sending those two lines.He had imagined Lucille might feel relieved. Or that she might answer with something furious and

Joanne came to her senses. "Take it away. Tell the shop we're refusing the delivery. Whoever bought it, send it back."In the living room, Lucille was sorting through the first-aid kit.Otto had taken some real hits. Bruises darkened the corner of his mouth and one eye, and shallow cuts lined his forearms where he had scraped against the ground.Lucille dipped a cotton swab in iodine and carefully treated each wound.Her touch was gentle, and guilt weighed heavily on her face. "I'm sorry, Otto. I dragged you into all of this. If I'd known Gideon would misunderstand everything, I never would have involved you."Otto smiled softly. "Lucy, you have to live your own life. Don't shape yourself around what other people think. That's a miserable way to live."Besides, no one could have predicted that we'd both end up at Riverrun. Zephyr and the investor. Some things are simply meant to happen. We should appreciate what we have instead of pushing it away."Lucille fell silent for a mome

Lucille's gaze was icy cold . Without a word, she took Otto's arm, walked inside, and shut the door behind them, leaving Gideon outside.Gideon stood frozen, his eyes fixed on their retreating figures as fury and disbelief churned inside him.How could this be right? He was Lucille's husband. He was the one with every legal claim. Yet he was the one left standing outside like a stranger while Otto walked freely into the Sandwell family's home.Despite the rage burning inside him, he forced himself to regain his composure in front of Joanne and quietly followed after her."Mother." He lowered his gaze, letting years of habit carry the word from his lips.Joanne looked at him without the slightest trace of warmth. Only disgust filled her eyes.She neither invited him inside nor met his gaze directly.Standing one step above him, she looked down at the man who was about to become her former son-in-law. "Don't call me that. It makes me sick."Gideon went rigid. He looked up, unable

Gideon let out a contemptuous smile. "And I'll tell you this plainly. Lucille is mine. So is my daughter. If anyone is going to send her a castle, it'll be me. Not you."'Asked to look out for her?' That's just a cover story. Otto, I finally understand why you were so desperate to divorce Rayne. You wanted a clear path to Lucille. Go ahead and deny it."Otto glanced at the profile picture attached to the video and recognized it instantly. The sight hit him like acid.Everything he had been forcing down—the anger, the humiliation of being misunderstood, and the crushing weight of discovering Lily might not be his while enduring the divorce—erupted all at once.Seeing Gideon's self-righteous expression only pushed him over the edge. He was done arguing.His fist shot forward. One punch, then another, each one carrying every ounce of his fury.Gideon absorbed the first blows, then stopped holding back. He hit back just as hard.The two of them fought without restraint right in fron

Inside a clothing store in a large shopping mall in Coasthaven, Lillian slept soundly in her stroller, clean, full, and completely out, while Nancy pushed her slowly along the aisles.Gwen stayed close to Lucille as she tried things on. Her body still had not fully recovered after the birth. Her ol

Gideon heard her laugh, and there was no warmth in it.Lucille yanked her wrist free. "Gideon, you don't have to hold anything back. Come at me. Use every card you've got."You want a fight? Fine. I've made my decision, and I'm not scared. Bring it. Whatever you've got, throw it at me."The light

Lucille would give up every comfort, vanity, and shred of dignity without hesitation for Lily. She could be unkempt, exhausted, hollowed out, and unglamorous. None of that mattered compared with her daughter's well-being. None of it came close.By now, Lucille worked the breast pump with the automa

Elaine was Lily's grandmother by blood. Yet Lucille could find nothing in her face, not a flicker of feeling for the child, only cold calculation.For five years in the Prescott household, every cent Lucille spent had come from her own pocket. Gideon had given her a card after the wedding, but Elai
