The Divorced Heiress Is Entering a New Marriage

Chapter 0337

“How dare you humiliate us in front of all these nice people,” Mom spat toward me.

“I didn’t do anything,” I replied. “You are the one who revealed your true colors.”

“I was genuine!” Mom said. “You throw that back in my face!”

“If you were genuine, you would have apologized first,” I said. “You didn’t apologize once this entire conversation!”

“She’s always been ungrateful,” Dad said, speaking loudly, as if addressing the cameras and other restaurant patrons. He had no care for me.

“You gave me a roof over my head, and an occasional meal,” I said. “For that and only for that, I am appreciative.”

In my lap. I clenched my hands into tight fists. Noticing. Logan removed his arm from the back of my chair to place his hand over one of mine.

Taking a breath, I forced myself to relax..

Mom’s face was so scrunched up in rage that it was practically comical. Her words were aimed to hurt, however. “We never loved you. You were the worst child, and an even more horrible adult. You are a disgrace to our family name.”

“She doesn’t need your name anymore,” Logan snapped, his voice ice cold. He was calm in the way the eye of a hurricane was calm, right before the rest of the storm smashed into the shore. “She has family that actually cares about her now. She doesn’t need your name or anything else you could possibly give.” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Our food hadn’t arrived yet, but I wouldn’t have cared if it did. Looking at Logan, I said, “I’d like to leave now.”

“Gladly,” Logan replied.

Together we stood.

“Now wait a minute! Where do you think you’re going?” Mom shouted, also standing. “Who is going to pay for this meal?”

Ah, even more truth exposed itself with that outburst. Even though meeting here had been her idea, she had been planning on sticking Logan with the bill.

Disgraceful.

pisgusting.

It was a miracle I had turned out half as okay as I had, with these two as my role models.

Logan, kind man and generous man that he was, pulled his wallet out of his pocket. Waving down the waiter, he placed forty dollars straight into his hand. “I don’t trust them not to pocket it,” he said.

The waiter seemed grateful, bowing slightly. “Thank you.”

J was willing to bet my parents didn’t leave very good tips.

Logan held out his hand toward me, and, after taking it together we walked out of the restaurant and to the car.

I couldn’t wait to put this terrible place, and this unfortunate chapter of my life, behind me.

“I never want to come back here,” I said.

“You never have to again,” Logan replied.

When we returned to our apartment, we made lunch for ourselves in the kitchen, then sat down at the table to eat.

Logan watched me cautiously, as if expecting me to break down at any moment. Honestly, though, I felt okay with everything. Better than okay, really. It felt like a huge weight had been lifted off of my shoulders. For the first time in my life, I could walk without my past dragging me down.

“I feel okay,” I told him, at his fifth worried look in two minutes.

He seemed relieved. “I’m glad.” He paused, then spoke again. “I didn’t want to presume before, but… it would please me greatly if you would want to take my last name. I know it’s not worth much right now, with the way my grandfather has been acting, but –

“I’d love to,” I said at once. “I’ve wanted to for a long time, but didn’t think it was possible, since we were being secretive.”

“Maybe it wasn’t then. But it is now. If you want it, it’s yours.”

“I don’t care what the name is,” I said, “So long as I can share it with you.”
