Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1442

Lorelei chewed a little slower. Was he happy or upset by that?

Logically speaking.

Once they divorced, he'd be free to go after his first love. He should be thrilled.

"Lorelei, what exactly do you think my place is?" Harold switched off the hairdryer and tossed it heavily onto the sofa. "When it's convenient, you scheme your way into this marriage. When you're done with me, you kick me to the curb. Is that it?"

Lorelei was left speechless. He still resented her for how they were forced into marriage.

But she was a victim too. She'd had no choice.

"Or maybe..."

He cut himself off abruptly.

Or maybe, Joel was back, and she just couldn't wait any longer?!

"I have work to do. I'll be in the study. Call me if you need anything."

Harold didn't finish his thought. He stood up, walked to the door, changed his shoes, and then glanced back at her. "Divorce isn't as simple as you think."

The Bellamy and Houston families had deeply intertwined interests. Untangling them completely would require a lot of effort.

Especially the Bellamy family.

They had exhausted every trick in the book to marry her into the Houston family. Did she really think they'd let her walk away easily?

Lorelei's face paled.

"Don't worry." Seeing her dejected expression only made the tightness in his chest worse. He kept his face like stone. "This marriage will definitely end. You don't have to worry."

Leaving those words hanging in the air.

Harold shut the door behind him without a second's hesitation.

Lorelei sat frozen, staring at the closed door, a suffocating lump forming in her throat.

This marriage will definitely end?

Had he really been waiting for this moment, finally free of her?!

—

After leaving the apartment.

Harold didn't go to the lab. Instead, he pulled out his phone and scrolled through his contacts.

Shanley and Jimmie both had wives. He couldn't exactly vent to them.
