Juan followed Debra up the staircase and entered their bedroom.


    Lowering his voice, he asked, "Why did you agree to let Grandma move in?"


    "She insisted. What could I say?" Debra replied.


    She didn''t want trouble. Even if she refused, Melody would find another reason to move in and might start suspecting something about their rtionship. To avoid extra hassle, Debra pretended to agree without caring.


    Juan was silent for a moment, digesting her words. "Grandma is just worried that you might note home and could have other thoughts


    Debra scoffed, "I know exactly what she is thinking. She''s doing this for your best interest. With the current state of affairs, our familles must remain united."


    Their marriage ensured many joint ventures between the two families. They were partners who gained and lost together. If there were problems between our families now, both would suffer. Melody understood this perfectly, which was why she believed Debra wouldn''t stir up trouble at this critical moment.


    Juan stared at Debra for a long time, unsure of what to say. Finally, he said, "I''ll have someone move your things back tomorrow. Since Grandma ising back, you won''t be able to stay out." "No need. I won''t be staying long." Debra replied.


    She was tired and wanted to rest. Juan instinctively reached out and grabbed her arm.


    "What do you mean by that?"


    "Does it still matter now? You know the answer."


    "Does it have to be this way?"


    "What do you think?"


    Her cold tone silenced him. Debra continued, "Though I''m not ming you, the fact that you crossed boundaries with Shelia during our marriage already gives me grounds to file for divorce. Even if it goes to court, I have my reasons. You should know how much you''d have to pay if we divorce."


    Juan probably hadn''t thought she would ever ask for a divorce, so he hadn''t transferred his assets after they got married. Once they divorced, she would get arge settlement because he was the one at fault.


    "Believe it or not, that was just an ident. I cut off contact with She right after that."


    "At Tyson Enterprises, you were protecting Shelia. Am I blind?"


    Juan wanted to exin that his actions that day were just to make her angry, but the wards died in his throatThis is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Debra shook her head, her voice filled with finality. "Forget it. Your favoritism towards Shelia has changed. No matter what reasons youe up with to convince me, I''m set on divorcing you."


    never


    ''Three months."


    "What?"


    "Give me three months. I''ll prove, to you that you are the only one in my heart."


    "It''s not necessary."


    "If, after three months, I haven''t proven myself or moved you, I willingly hand over everything of the Nichols family to you."


    Debra a was stunned. Juan nervously held her shoulders, his grip firm yet gentle. "I''m willing to risk everything. Just give me these three months. If you still refuse, I''ll agree to the divorce and give up all the Nichols family''s assets to you." The seriousness on his face was something she had never seen before. He wasn''t joking.


    "Anything got into you?" she said.
