My Deceased Wife Wants a Divorce novel Chapter 55

“Where do you think I am?” Hannah retorted.

Before Lionel could reply, she hung up and changed her phone settings to block calls from unknown numbers. Then she went back to her packing.

Lionel paused, a thought striking him. He returned the phone to the nurse, took out his own, and called Lily.

“Did Hannah come home this morning?”

“Yes, Mrs. Rosenberg returned quite early. The butler said a man drove her home and even got out to help with her bags. He was about to bring them inside, but the butler stopped him,” Lily reported.

Lionel clenched his jaw. “Is she still there?”

“Yes, she is, sir.”

“Tell her I’m on my way home, and she is to wait for me!”

Lionel hung up and strode to the elevator. Impatient, he took the stairs down to the parking garage, slammed his foot on the accelerator, and sped home.

He ran countless red lights, nearly colliding with another car at one point, but he never let up, his only thought to get to Hannah as quickly as possible.

Back at the house.

Hannah had finished packing and came downstairs with her bag.

She had booked a hotel for a month last time and left most of her luggage there, so she didn’t have much to carry now.

The moment Lily saw her heading for the door, she rushed to block her path. “Mrs. Rosenberg, the master said he’s coming home and that you are to wait for him.”

Wait?

“I’m moving out for a while. I don’t want to see him before the divorce. Relay that message to him.”

Lily was taken aback. Although she had overheard them talking about a divorce before, she hadn't taken it seriously, assuming it was just one of the mistress’s little games. But now, it seemed it was real.
