My Deceased Wife Wants a Divorce novel Chapter 13

Hannah watched him leave, her gaze dropping to the floor.

Mrs. Rosenberg Sr. , however, was beaming. “That’s right! I told him to arrange a position for you years ago, but he dragged his feet. It’s alright. I’ll have him put in a good word for you. You can pick and choose whichever cases you like!”

Hannah’s mind was elsewhere. She forced a bitter smile and nodded.

What was this? A peace offering?

If so, she wasn't interested.

She took out her phone and opened WhatsApp, her eyes landing on a specific chat. The message had been sent that morning, but she had yet to reply.

After a moment of hesitation, she typed a response: [I accept your offer. I can start tomorrow.]

She spent the rest of the day with Mrs. Rosenberg Sr. , who had the family doctor come for a check-up. The old woman even had the doctor prescribe a host of fertility herbs.

Staring at the bowl of dark, bitter medicine, Hannah grimaced but drank it all in one go under Mrs. Rosenberg's watchful eye.

She still hadn’t told her about the divorce. The old woman had just had major surgery earlier in the year, and she couldn’t risk upsetting her.

That evening, Hannah was at her computer, preparing materials for the next day, when she heard the bedroom door open. It was Lionel.

Her fingers paused over the keyboard. She frowned in confusion.

Wasn’t he with Sandra? Why was he back so early?

Seeing her staring, Lionel loosened his tie and sat on the edge of the bed.
