THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 648

"Is your cousin there?" Benedict asked.

"Yeah," Tammie beamed. "She brought me a homemade dessert."

"This late at night?"

"Are you jealous I have such a wonderful cousin?" Tammie teased.

Benedict sighed. "Buddy, you can't be too careful."

The comment soured Tammie's mood. If it were anyone else, he would have snapped at them. Ann was the person he trusted most in the world, and Benedict's constant suspicion was grating. "That's enough, Benedict," he said, his voice low as he saw Ann approaching. "Just because you can't trust your cousin doesn't mean mine is the same."

"Tammie, I'm not attacking her," Benedict said, rubbing his temples. "I just think it's foolish to trust anyone blindly. A little caution isn't a bad thing." It was simple logic, but Tammie refused to see it.

"It's okay, Tammie," Ann said, placing a comforting hand on his arm. "I don't blame Grandma. I understand. We're not related by blood."

Her maturity only fueled his anger. Ann was the perfect granddaughter; Keira was a fool. "Just you wait," he muttered. "She'll regret choosing someone like Freya. It's only a matter of time." What did Keira see in that uneducated, divorced woman from the countryside? She was nothing compared to Ann.

Ann gently changed the subject. "Let's not talk about unpleasant things. Eat this."
