Chapter 39 Being Strangers After Divorce
"Okay, girl, now that you have decided, I respect your decision."
Martin stretched out his hand and pointed tremblingly at the cabinet not far away, "There is a drawer at
the bottom of the cabinet on the right, and there is a password box in it, you can take it out."
"OK."
Norah walked over, carefully took out the box from the cabinet, and came to grandpa with it.
"Grandpa, do you still remember the password?"
"The password is your grandma's birthday."
"Grandma?" Norah was very unfamiliar with this title, and this memory was blank to her.
Because when she entered the Lawson family, her grandmother had already died of illness.
"Shawn knows it, you can ask him for help." The old man reminded in a time-beaten voice.
"Okay, thank you grandpa."
Holding the box, Norah went out with an uneasy mood.
The door was empty.
Shawn seemed to have left.
Norah was about to call him when suddenly another wave of nausea hit her heart.
After vomiting, her whole body was weak and she almost lost her strength.
Holding the lockbox, she staggered back to the room and laid on the sofa.
She took out mobile phone and dialed Shawn, while the opposite was busy.
She put down her phone and stared blankly at the password box in front of her. At that moment, a very
shameless thought suddenly appeared in her mind.
If...?
If she told Shawn, grandpa would not agree to their divorce.
Or she said that she didn't get the documents at all, maybe they didn't need to divorce?
If Lilian got angry and left here.
Then they may go back to the time when no one disturbed them.
When the baby was born, they would be the happiest family of three, right?
Just then, suddenly, the door was opened.
Norah immediately put the password box behind her to hide it.
Shawn was wearing a suit, came straight and stood in front of her.
"Finished?" He asked. His voice so low that there was no undulation.
Norah smelled the flavor of cigarette from him and couldn't help frowning, "Have you smoked?"
"Well, I smoked a little bit. How was the chat with grandpa? Did he agree?"
"Nope."
Norah shook her head subconsciously.
"I'm going to talk to grandpa."
"Wait." Norah stopped him, "Do you regret marrying me?"
"No regrets, no, it was the best choice at that time."
His face was cold, and even when he said these words, his tone was the same as usual.
But his eyes were as deep as a pool.
Norah felt that she couldn't gain an insight into his mind.
"After the divorce, can we still meet, eat together, and still be like old friends?" Norah suddenly looked
at his eyes and asked him seriously.
Shawn reached out and rubbed her hair, "What's in your little head all day long. After the divorce, you
are no longer my wife but you are still grandpa's favorite granddaughter and a member of the Lawson
family."
"A member of the Lawson family?"
Stunned for a moment, he continued, "I won't take you as a friend."
Norah just clenched her palms tightly when she heard his voice again, "Be my younger sister, so that I
can care for you and protect you."
A younger sister?
Hum...
Norah never thuoght that after two years of marriage, she could be his "sister" in the end.
So it was nothing but mental crime.
Shawn, you were too cruel.
She never wanted to be his friend, and she hated this so-called "sister".
It was just ridiculous and ironic.
"There's no need, Shawn, after the divorce, just regard as we've never met before. When see you later,
you don't know me, and I don't know you either." Norah gritted her teeth, endured a huge heartache
and said.
In her heart, even being a stranger was better than being this younger sister.
As for friends, she was even less care about it.
People who once truly fell in love couldn't be friends.
"Norah, are you going to be so heartless? Even if we divorce, you are still grandpa's most beloved
granddaughter." Shawn frowned.
Norah smiled, "You also said, it's a matter between me and grandfather. I will handle it alone with
grandfather. Of course I'm still my grandpa's granddaughter, but I have nothing to do with you
anymore."
"As for the sister you mentioned, there's no need. If I were Lilian, I wouldn't want an ex-wife to be my
sister."
After saying that, Norah took out the password box and handed it to Shawn.
"What's this?"
"Grandpa doesn't agree our divorce, but he said he respects my decision. All our documents are in it.
Grandpa said the password is grandma's birthday, you know it."
When Shawn took the password box, his mood suddenly became low.
Grandma's birthday, of course he knew.
Because the day his grandmother passed away was also her birthday.
In his eyes, grandparents had always been deeply in love with each other all their lives. No matter what
kinds of occasions they attend, they were always in the same mind, especially when they were older
and grandma was not in good health. No matter where they went, grandpa would hold grandma's hand
tightly.
When he was young, his grandfather started a business, and his grandmother accompanied him to
start from scratch. It was very hard work.
Later, the grandfather succeeded and his career was thriving. Their life finally improved.
Only having several happy days, the grandmother was diagnosed with many diseases.
Some were chronic diseases that could be very tormenting.
When he was a child, the most he heard from his grandfather was, "Shawn, you have to behave
yourself and don't make grandma angry, or I will beat you."
He indeed did so.
He remembered that one day, he was tired and he slept on his grandma's lap for hours.
But that was a rainy day, his grandmother suffered from rheumatism, her waist was sore and leg was in
pain, which was very tormenting.
In order not to disturb his sleeping, she insisted for several hours.
Later, his grandmother's legs hurt for a whole month, and she moaned every night, and couldn't sleep
at all.
Grandpa punished him to stand for a whole day the next day, and he was not allowed to eat that day.
In his impression, it was the first time his grandfather punished him like that.
No one dared to persuade him. Later, grandma found out and got angry, only until then grandpa didn't
continue to punish him.
At that time, he was young and wasn't sensible enough.
But now, he had understood the love of his grandparents, but grandma had long since passed away.
Seeing Shawn's eyes were red, Norah said with concern, "What's wrong? I've never heard you mention
grandma, is there something wrong?"
"We're afraid that grandpa will be sad, no one in the whole family dare to mention grandma."
Hearing that, Norah didn't dare to ask more.
She looked at the password box and asked, "Do you still remember the password? If you do, open it!"
