Chapter 1955 Zero Regrets Cecilia was speechless.


    How can I answer that?


    Whichever side she chose, she''d offend someone. Agreeing would upset her father-inw. Disagreeing would offend her mother-inw.


    She waspletely caught in the middle.


    Elena turned to her and said, "Ceci, despite the divorce, I''ll still take care of the grandkids. Don''t worry, we''re still a family."


    Cecilia didn''t know what to say. Thankfully, Nathaniel wrapped an arm around her and said, "Mom, Dad, we''re your kids. We can''t interfere in your marriage. Whatever you decide, we''ll respect it."


    Wren''s expression shifted. He made a face at Nathaniel, but Nathaniel acted like he didn''t see it.


    With no choice, Wren turned to his younger son. "Nichs, what do you think?"


    Lately, Nichs hadn''t been in the best state of mind. He''d tried and failed to beat Nathaniel, leaving him full of frustration.


    "I know it hasn''t been easy for either of you. If there''s a chance to avoid divorce, then maybe don''t go through with it," Nichs said.


    He turned to Elena. "Mom, if word gets out that you and Dad divorced, it''ll damage our family''s image."


    Elena froze. She had assumed her son would support her, but now it seemed Nichs didn''t want the divorce either.


    "Nichs, you know exactly how much I''ve endured all these years."


    Nichs'' eyes flickered with a touch of coldness before returning to calm. "Mom, do you really believe your life will improve after the divorce? Our family isn''t an ordinary one. The Rainsworths don''t need you to be some perfect wife or mother. If you divorce Dad, where will you go? Back home? Would your brothers wee you back?"


    He sounded like he was considering her feelings, but every word was meant to discourage her from going through with it.


    Wren quickly added, “Nichs is right. If you change your mind now, we can still give our marriage a second chance."


    Elena''s chest filled with bitterness. She never imagined her own son would say something like that.


    (e)


    "I''m not changing my mind. I want this divorce. She looked at Nichs, disappointed. "You and Nathaniel are both grown. I don''t owe either of I you anything As for the Rainsworth family''s reputation, or my own, don''t worry yourselves."


    She thought back to all her years the Rainsworth family-having husband or not hadn''t made a


    Veline


    difference. Her heart had long grown cold.


    "Let''s go. Wren, didn''t you say we could get a divorce anytime? No point in waiting."


    Seeing her resolve, Wren stopped trying to argue. He climbed into the car. "Don''te crying to meter!"


    Elena said nothing. She followed him and got in.


    There wasn''t a trace of regret in her heart. She was determined to live the rest of her life on her own terms.


    The car pulled away, and Cecilia stood there, watching. Her mind drifted to her early days with Nathaniel.


    Back then, she too had once thought about divorce. And Nathaniel had told her the same thing.


    Cecilia felt certain her mother-inw wouldn''t have regrets. Her father-inw, though, was another story.


    He had spent so many years living freely, while Elena ran the household. Now


    that she was gone, how could he continue that carefree life?


    "Come on, let''s head back," Nathaniel said, his voice steady.


    Cecilia nodded and was about to leave with him when Nichs called out. "Since


    you''ve already won, why haven''t youe after me yet?"


    Nathaniel didn''t stop walking. He just took Cecilia''s hand and looked back. "Because I''m not interested."


    He knew exactly how Nichs


    worked. The more attention he gave him, the more out of control hea get. But if he didn''t care anymore, Nichs might just lose interest all on his own.
