Dumping My First Husband for a Better One의 모든 챕터: 챕터 11 - 챕터 20

Benjamin frowned, hugging Tamara tightly as he gently patted her back. "It's okay. Danny will be fine."Eyes red, Tamara chewed on her lower lip and said, "You'll spend the rest of your life protecting me, right?""Yeah."In the past, Benjamin would've nodded without hesitation—but just now, for the briefest moment, Sophia's face flashed across his mind.…Two days later, Sophia finally felt herself warming up again after she entered the VIP lounge of Sunshire Airport.It was already snowing in Sunshire. She had personally gone to inspect some coffee bean seedlings. Everything was kept in a greenhouse, unharmed by the snow. As long as they were properly cared for, she would get the best coffee beans next year.She took out her phone and started scrolling through it.Even now, Benjamin had made no mention of the divorce. Instead, he sent a few messages checking on her.On the other hand, Tamara had posted several Instagram Highlights, seemingly just sharing about her life. In r

Sophia added, "We have laws in place now. If Tamara wants to do anything to me, she'll have to be fine with leaving the Hartman family and her son first."Lavinia nodded in agreement. "That's true."…Over at Regal Springs, after finishing work, Benjamin went to Tamara's bedroom. She was already asleep, still holding a phone.He reached out and pulled the phone from her hand. The moment it left her grip, she opened her eyes and instinctively looped her arms around his neck."Benny," she called out coyly. "You're done with work?""Yeah.""It's snowing outside. Let's play in the snow together, okay?" Tamara smoothly took his phone back from him."Tammy, this is my home. The housekeepers are still awake…" Benjamin had every reason to be hesitant.The intimate act they shared in his office a while back had been a spur-of-the-moment occurrence. At the time, Tamara tearfully vented her grievances to him, and his heart had ached for her.Moreover, up until then, she'd been giving hi

"But it also means that people like you, who are married to cheating scumbags, are forced to wait for weeks or even months just to get the divorce finalized," Lavinia argued. "Either way, I don't have the patience for that. I can't bear the idea of having to carry on living with a disgusting cheater."She still felt nauseated at the thought of Benjamin having slept with his own brother's widow. Some men really were capable of anything.Lavinia had handled countless cases in court and seen all kinds of absurd situations. She also knew that wealthy families often had plenty of skeletons in their closets. Even so, she still couldn't help but scorn someone like Benjamin, whose actions made him seem more beast than human.After Sophia had finished the chicken soup, Benjamin called again to say that it was Vernon's death anniversary. They had to go back to Hartman Manor for a meal."Got it," Sophia replied curtly before dropping the call."Are you going?" Lavinia looked worried. "You've

"No," Wilma replied with a smile. "Danny has been staying with me these past few days, Mom. I was worried Tamara might pass her sickness on to him, so I brought him back home."While speaking, she shot Tamara a warning glare.After living under the same roof for so long, Tamara naturally knew what the look in Wilma's eyes meant. She was telling her to shut up and not say anything she shouldn't.She bit her lip, feeling indignant. Her hands clenched over her knees.Why was this happening? Why was she always the one in the wrong, no matter what she did? Why did Sophia get to receive everyone else's favor instead?Satisfied that Tamara had lowered her head, Wilma clasped her hand on Margaret's arm and said, "I cooked this meal myself, Mom. I made all your favorites. Once we're done, we can head to the cemetery to visit Dad.""Alright."After the meal, Benjamin told Sophia to take Daniel to the car first while he went to get the flowers they were bringing to the cemetery.Sophia ha

Sophia felt warmth in her heart. "Thank you for remembering that, Grandma.""I'll go with her, Grandma," Benjamin also chimed in.Once Margaret left, Wilma considered asking Sophia about Benjamin, but she remembered that Tamara was still around, so it wasn't a convenient time for that conversation."Alright, it's getting late. Go get some rest. Benjamin has to work tomorrow," Wilma said.Chester cleared his throat and nodded in agreement. "Get some sleep, Benjamin. We can head to the company together tomorrow morning.""Okay, Dad."Once Sophia and Benjamin went into the bedroom, she took off the jacket and the scarf."Do you feel better now?" Benjamin finally showed her some concern.She coughed a couple of times before replying, "I'm fine. I'm taking a shower.""Alright."Benjamin watched as she went into the bathroom, his expression thoughtful. She seemed to have become much quieter lately, and she no longer made any mention of wanting a child. However…The thought of chil
