Grief and Madness: After His Daughter Died

In the following days, every divorce agreement I sent was torn up by Grayson. It seemed he was deliberately avoiding me.

I personally received Emily's urn and arranged her favorite flowers myself. I wanted to accompany Emily on this final journey.

Grayson never showed up at the funeral, and many people were talking about me.

"How could I not know, since I went to school with Violet? Grayson never liked her. He liked our school's beauty, Mila."

"I heard Violet's dad took the fall for the White family. Violet must have something on them."

There were many rumors, but they all believed I forced Grayson to marry me. In their minds, I used any means to become his wife, and my current situation was deserved.

I stood in the wind, still waiting for Grayson. Ryan was furious.

"Call him."

"No need, Grandpa. I've taken all of Emily's things. If Grayson refuses to sign, I'll sue for divorce."

"Sigh," Ryan sighed heavily. "I watched you two grow up together. How did it come to this? If Grayson's mother were still here, she wouldn't want to see you like this."

My heart ached as memories flooded back like waves. Grayson's mother loved me dearly. She used to say that if Grayson ever wronged me, she would break his legs. Her smile was always so bright, like a beam of light, yet she ended up jumping off a building due to depression.

Since then, Grayson became much more withdrawn. It was just before the college entrance exams, and the White family kept the news of his mother's death from him. They also told me not to tell Grayson, fearing it would upset him.

Later that night, amid thunder and lightning, Grayson found out and completely broke down. He began to hate me too.

"If you don't come to Emily's funeral today, don't ever return to the White residence. I'll consider you no grandson of mine!"

Ryan angrily hung up the phone and handed it to me. I unlocked it and saw the latest updates on social media.

Mila had posted a picture of her daughter with the caption, "Daughters are daddy's little lovers from a past life. Look whose little sweetheart this is?"

People in the comments were joking, saying it must be Grayson's illegitimate child.

The cufflink visible on the hand in the photo was a limited edition with a national style pattern. Only Grayson had it in Avolle city.
