Divorce never felt so good Novel by Adina Goodwill

Chapter 18 Walliams frowned , clearly puzzled .

Yeah , and this house is perfect in terms of location and surroundings .

Honestly , if someone wanted to buy it now they wouldnt even be able to get it Adrian knew all of thes , of course .

He had carefully chosen this villa to give is the perfect home .

Bat realizing that he was thinking about Isis again , Adrian condena help but frown He sighed and said , Dad , Mom , I get it , this house is great , but the problem is , its not livable right now .

Layla and 1 are in a rush to get married , and not having a place to live isnt ideal .

bouncing around like this Maybe we should sell it , buy a renovated place , and move in quickly so we dont keep bouncing around His reasoning sounded sensible , like he was thinking about the family , ba Zor completely disagreed .

She started .

What do your knee ? Silly boy ! Laylas just playing you ! That house is your pre marriage property , she continued .

Now that you to are married , any new house you buy will be joint property .

In other words , the house that should belong to us could end up with her half of al Adrian frowned Mom , thats not inurl Laylas not like that Silly boy , why are you so blind Zor felt Adrian was completely dupeil , and she couldnt hold back her frustration .

Anyway , I dont agree with selling the house .

Well get is renovated quickly , and in the meantime , we can rent somewhere as a temporary place , Just tell Layla if she doesnt agree , it means she doesnt truly love you , she said .

Zoe felt unfairly treated .

After all , when bis married imo the family , Isisd used her own money to help them out .

Now she thought , Layla comes along and expects us to hand over money ? It is not happening ! Unable to convince Zoe , Adrian turned to William .

He thought , Surely , as the head of the company , William would have a more rational perspective , right ? After a moment a moment of thought , William spoke slowly .

Adrian , have you and Layla talked about the engagement gift Adrian was taken aback , thinking , Arent we discussing the house ! Why is him suddenly bringing up the engagement gir He sighed .

No , Dad .

Layla and I truly love each other .

The engagement gift doesnt matter .

Williams face hardened .

How can it not matter ? ert Marriage is a serious commitment , and these things are important ! Even though this is your second marriage , we still need to make it a big deal .

At the very least , we cant let it go by quietly like Isiss wedding did As he heard Isiss name again .

Adrians patience wore thin .

Were divorced .

Can we please stop talking about Isish And besides , Layla never asked me for money , so I wont ask her for anything .

Lets just drop it .

Weve already got enough on our plates with everything going on in the family Wilham and Zoe exchanged a look , and then William spoke up again , Well , if thats the case , then it makes sense .

Lets go back to the house discussion Clearing his throat , William added , Heres what I think since weve already provided the house , it seems only fair that the brides side should cover the costs for renovations and furnishings , dont you think ? Zor nodded vigorously .

Yes , exactly ! Thats how it should be Adrian was taken aback .

But how can we do that ? Mom , Dad , we cant ask Layla for money Why not ? Zor shot back immediately .

Look at other families this is just the way things are ! Go ask around the whole Sans City , and youll see that in every marriage , both the grooms and brides families chip in for the wedding house If the grooms side covers it all while the brides family contributes nothing isnt that basically selling their daughter ! Heaning William and Zue argue so confidently , Adrian was momentarily unsure .

But the idea of bringing it up with Layla made him uncomforuble .

He wasnt sure how to even start that convention .

He realized he was stuck in a dilemma Layla wanted one thing, and his parents wanted something else .

He wondered .

What am I supposed to do ? Adrian couldnt understand why his life back in the country wasnt turning out as hed imagined .

He thought that with the familys wealth now , he and Layla could pursue their dreams together , balancing love and career creating a perfect life .

things were a complete men .

He didatroon have a proper home and was staying at hotels every day .

uld probably ack about the homme agati , md he wasnt in the noood in deal alt .

He thought , Maybe I should just take ala waining for Addin to temom , decided hins herself .

But when she got to his room , she found out he had already left .

As she turned is lewer , Adours litle sister , Alice , walked in after school .

She towed her backpack onto the floor and bourdiately started complaining Mo When are we going home ! Dont you know ? Everyone at school is talking about how terrible our house looks ! Theyre all making fun of me ! Zoe inmeshately bristles with anger .

She wavrinharassed , for , after all Going home ! Gang hoone where ? Our house is still being renovated Do you want to go back to a shell ́a place with no wall ? Zoe snuppeil , clearly frustrated ! Alice Frore .

What ? Its still a construction site ? How am I supposed to explain this now ? I was planning to bring my friends over once the house was finished , but now ? How am I supposed to show my face ! I be the laughingstock ? Alwr burst into tears , but Zoe , ahrady imitated , wasnt in the mood to condort her .

Layla , seeing this , thought that as the new sister in law , it was time to get along with Alec aid maybe shone everyone she was better than Isis had been ..
