Remarried After I Secretly Divorced the CEO novel Chapter 11

Simon’s veins bulged with anger. “You…”

Ginny snapped, rapping her cane hard against the floor.

“I’m the one who hit him. Why are you blaming Autumn? Or do you think I’m old and useless now, so my presence no longer matters in this family?”

Everyone fell silent

That wasn’t exactly what anyone meant.

Simon shot Autumn a glare and stood up. “I’ve got things to handle at the office. I’ll head out first.”

Susan got up as well, concern in her voice. “Simon, you barely ate. Let me pack something for you to bring to the office.”

She motioned for Irene to bring over a container and had her pack up some of Simon’s favorite dishes.

Simon took the box and thanked her before grabbing his coat and heading out.

Hector sat there clutching his sore cheek, his resentment toward Autumn growing deeper.

But with Ginny protecting her, he couldn’t confront her directly.

He could only swallow his anger.

After the meal, Autumn returned to her room to spend some time chatting with Ginny.

Ginny gently touched Autumn’s face with affection. “You’ve lost so much weight. Haven’t been eating properly, have you?”

Autumn smiled. “I’m trying to slim down. I look better this way.”

“Nonsense. You’ll always be beautiful, no matter what,” Ginny said with a squinting smile. “Do you have someone you like? Bring him home for me to meet.”

She had someone she liked in the past.

However, she didn’t like him anymore

She had married Julian in secret, partly to keep the Lewis family out of it.

She once believed Julian was her safe harbor, but even ten-plus years of childhood friendship couldn’t beat a man’s selfish desire for novelty.

Love, in the end, was just daily routine and mutual resentment.

Autumn tilted her head. “No one. The only person I like is you, Grandma.”

Ginny had a habit of napping after meals and soon drifted off to sleep.

Once Autumn saw Ginny was asleep, she quietly got out of bed, told Irene she was leaving, and went home.

On the way back, Autumn received a call from her best friend Selena Long.

She picked up the Bluetooth receiver from the center console and answered the call.

Selena’s lazy voice came through the line. “Autumn, what are you doing right now?”

Autumn glanced at the traffic light ahead, slowed down, and said, “I’m driving. What’s wrong?”

Selena immediately sounded disappointed.

“Ugh? I was planning to drag you out for a shopping spree. Turns out you’re out having fun with your husband instead?”

Staring at the blinking countdown on the red light, Autumn chuckled and said, “No, I just got back from the Lewis estate. Are you home now? I can swing by and pick you up.”

“You’re not hanging out with your husband?”

“He already has someone with him. He doesn’t need me.”

Hearing the bitterness in Autumn’s tone, Selena didn’t say anything more and simply replied, “Alright, come to my apartment then. I’ll freshen up and head down.”

“Okay,” Autumn answered.

Just as the light turned green, she made a U-turn at the intersection and drove toward Selena’s place.

As soon as she got in the car, Selena started chattering non-stop, while Autumn calmly answered her questions.
