Chapter 707

More than half a month had passed since we last met. She looked a little tired and not as radiant as

before.

It was only after she went to the living room, sat down on the sofa, and drank the tea that the maid

just made did she tell me her purpose of coming over. "I'm

Theo's cousin and we'll always be family. Therefore, a s his cousin, I think I have the right to make

certain decisions."

After a pause, she continued, "You’re not a married couple anymore, and since you're no longer

married, I hope you’ll put an end to this once and for all. Stop getting involved with each other.

When you proposed a divorce back then and did not want any alimony, I honestly thought it was a

bad idea because you did your share of taking care of this home. Therefore, I'll try my best to

compensate you when you leave this time."

She was here to drive me away.

I pursed my lips. "Quinn, you're just Theo's cousin and not really a senior. Do you really think you're

qualified to make this decision for him?"

Quinn froze while drinking tea. She looked calmly and indifferently at me. "Your identity is an

unusual one. You’re Tyler and Yvonne's goddaughter and Grayson

and Petra's biological daughter. I hope you know that because you have an unusual identity, there

are certain things that you must never do because reputation is more important than your life. I'm

doing this for your own good."

I had to admit that she did have a point, though her intentions might not be so pleasant.

I fell silent for a long time and got up. "You have a point, Quinn. Theo and I aren't married, so co-

living is surely going to affect our reputation. I'm sorry for making you worry for us. I'll leave

immediately.”

Having said that, I got up to go upstairs to pack my bags.

"Wait." Quinn stopped me. "You can move two days later after you find a place. If you leave now,

aren’t you simply telling Theo that I’m driving you away?"

I raised my eyebrow. "Are you not?"

Her countenance froze. She was dumbfounded and embarrassed for a moment. However, it lasted

for only a fleeting moment before she continued, "Of course not. I'm doing it for your sake. I want

you to have a good reputation as a lady."

I smiled slightly with a blank look on my face. "I appreciate your good intentions.”

She shook her head, the awkwardness on her face dissipating. She said with a smile, "You’re

Theo’s ex-wife, so it's fine for you to stay at his place for a day or two after having just returned to

Whaldorf City with your son. You don't need to be in a rush to move. Besides, Theo wouldn’t want

you to leave. While you're still here, you can start looking for a new place and make an excuse to

move out so he won't be that upset about it."

In other words, she wanted Theo and me to get into an argument first so that there was an excuse

for me to move out?

I nearly laughed out in anger. Selfish people could always think of all sorts of bad ideas in order to

achieve their goals.

"There's no need to give so many excuses. I didn’t have plans on staying here for too long anyway

and it was only a matter of time before I moved out," I said in a cold voice.

After going upstairs and keeping all my clothes in the luggage, I came down and saw Quinn

standing in my way. She persuaded me with determination. "Can’t you listen to me and move out a

few days later, Wanda?"

I smiled slightly. "I was going to move out sooner or later anyway, so I might as well move out today

since I have the time."

Keith had been at the villa these days, so when he saw me lifting my luggage trying to leave, he

quickly gave Theo a call.

Later, he rushed over to stop me and asked with a frown, "Where are you going, Mrs. Grant?"

"You don't need to know." In a fit of pique, I found Keith to be an eyesore as well.

Keith dared not stop me. After stepping out of the villa's door, I booked a ride from an e-hailing app.

Quinn did not expect that I would be so insistent on leaving now and was simply impossible to stop,

so she looked at me and said with a slightly pale expression," Wanda, I'm not trying to drive you

away, I’m just-"
