Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1497

Bringing up the past, Eleanor's voice choked with emotion. "This poor girl has had such a hard life growing up."

If it hadn't been for her constantly doting on and protecting Lori, who knows how the girl would have turned out.

"My health is failing. I could go at any moment," Eleanor murmured. "My only wish is for Lori to be happy for the rest of her life."

"Honestly, I don't care if she's wealthy or powerful. I just want her to have someone who will truly care for her and cherish her."

As she spoke, Eleanor began silently wiping away her tears.

Harold felt a sharp pang in his chest, his expression turning grim.

"Your marriage wasn't exactly conventional." Eleanor sighed heavily, her voice gravelly. "Harold, Grandma knows you're a good man, and I know this arrangement was incredibly unfair to you back then."

"So, what I want to say is... if you really don't have any feelings for Lori, it might be best if you two just got a divorce."

Harold's head snapped up, a deep furrow forming between his brows.

Was the entire world trying to make them divorce?

It seemed he didn't just have to fend off Joel; he had to fend off his own family too.

"Let Lori go, and set yourself free as well." Eleanor dabbed at her eyes again, speaking earnestly. "While I still have breath in my lungs, I want to find her someone she can truly rely on for the rest of her life."

"Grandma."

Harold's demeanor shifted, his face turning dead serious. "Lori and I are not getting a divorce."

"Hmm?"

Eleanor blinked, feigning confusion. "Don't hide it from me. I know about your agreement to divorce after three years. All that talk about having a baby was just to humor an old lady."

Did he think that just because she stayed home all day, she was completely clueless?

She was more up-to-date on Australis's high-society gossip than anyone.

How else did Lori manage to drop all those scandalous bombshells at the banquet?

She was the one who had prepped her!
