Chapter 770 No Need to Delve into the Reasons for Divorce
Cecilia couldn't help but laugh.
She truly envied Seraphina's good attitude.
At least, the tragedy of the previous life did not repeat itself.
"You just said that Alaric also wants to take control of the Lockhart Group?" Seraphina seemed to suddenly realize.
Her voice increased by at least five times.
Cecilia almost had her eardrums shattered.
She rubbed her ears and said, "Your reaction is so slow."
"I just can't believe it. Aren't you all family? What does it mean for him to take control of the Lockhart Group?"
"I divorced Alaric."
"What?" Seraphina's voice was even louder this time.
She jumped straight out of her office chair.
Fortunately, Cecilia had anticipated Seraphina's reaction, so she had moved her phone aside in advance.
"You said you divorced Alaric, really? When did you divorce him? How could you divorce him?" Seraphina was very excited.
"It was during the days when you had your accident that I divorced Alaric. I originally wanted to come and be with you, but I wasn't in a good state myself, so I didn't go."
"Are you afraid that knowing would make me even sadder?" Seraphina said sadly.
Sort of.
She was afraid that when she wasn't calm yet, she wouldn't be able to comfort Seraphina as calmly as she could now.
"Cecilia, why do you always keep everything to yourself?" Seraphina's eyes turned red instantly.
She didn't know why everyone seemed to be having such a hard time lately.
She thought she was already unlucky enough, but she didn't expect Cecilia to be even more unfortunate.
Just when she thought she had reached the peak of her life, she was hit with such a big blow.
That bastard Alaric.
How could he bear to divorce Cecilia?
The key point is that Cecilia is still pregnant.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.
Seraphina was really going crazy.
"It's not as unacceptable as you think. It's just that I need some time to process it, and once I do, I'll be fine." Cecilia comforted.
Cecilia could completely imagine how collapsed Seraphina's emotions had collapsed right now.
"I was actually quite unhappy in my heart, thinking that you hid the matter about Sebastian from me and told Dashiell instead. I was actually a bit upset." Seraphina said honestly.
She deliberately didn't ask about it just now because she had a grudge in her heart, but she didn't want to have a grudge against Cecilia, so she chose to avoid it.
Seraphina's personality is that when she says something, it means she has thought it through.
"Now seeing you having such a hard time, I can't even be mad at you."
Cecilia couldn't help but laugh.
Such a pure and kind Seraphina, she wondered if one day she would also be defeated by reality and society.
She said, "Even though you're not mad anymore, I still need to explain to you. The reason I hid the matter about Sebastian from you back then was that I was afraid you couldn't handle it. I was worried that when you found out what Atticus did back then, you would cut ties with Atticus and stand even more on Sebastian's side. After all, at that time, you always thought you loved Sebastian the most."
Seraphina bit her lip.
At that time, she might really have done that.
Even now, despite all the hurt Sebastian had caused her, she still felt guilty towards him.
"So I wanted to change your relationship with Sebastian through Dashiell. Originally, after you got pregnant with Dashiell's child, I thought your relationship with Dashiell would stabilize, but I didn't expect your sudden miscarriage to make Dashiell completely give up on you. I was planning to tell you the truth, but Dashiell said he wanted to fulfill you. In other words, he helped you protect Everhart Bank, making it impossible for Sebastian to succeed. Without Everhart Bank, Sebastian could only live well with you. Over time, maybe the hatred would dissipate."
"Dashiell said that?" Seraphina found it hard to believe.
Did Dashiell really do so much for her in secret?
"Don't doubt Dashiell's kindness towards you," Cecilia said word by word.
"You don't know how many times he pushed me away!" Seraphina complained.
"That's because he always thought you couldn't let go of Sebastian."
"But Sebastian is dead now." Seraphina couldn't control her emotions.
"Sometimes feelings have little to do with whether a person is alive or dead."
"Are you saying that Dashiell thinks I still have feelings for Sebastian?"
"I can't say for sure, but I think if you still like Dashiell, you should fight for yourself."
"Do you think there's still a chance?" Seraphina asked.
"There's a chance." Cecilia was very sure.
She always felt that Dashiell couldn't forget Seraphina.
If he could forget.
He wouldn't have agreed to her request to let Seraphina stay at Everhart Bank even if he acquired it.
Dashiell just didn't want to express it.
Or rather, he didn't want to take the initiative anymore.
Because he had been hurt too many times, he didn't want to give himself any more expectations.
But as long as Seraphina made an effort, maybe over time, the wounds would heal, and they could get back together.
She still hoped that Seraphina could be with Dashiell.
In this world, the only man she could trust to take care of Seraphina was Dashiell.
Seraphina didn't speak for a long time.
Probably.
She didn't dare to give herself too much hope.
Cecilia didn't say much either. Matters of the heart are really only known to those who experience them.
She was advising Seraphina and Dashiell now because she hadn't personally experienced their relationship, so she didn't know how painful it was for them, and could speak so frankly.
But if she asked herself, if someone tried to persuade her about Alaric, she would be very resistant.
"Seraphina, I called you today mainly to get you to agree to Dashiell's terms and stay at Everhart Bank." Dashiell had just called her, saying that Seraphina was very hesitant.
So she came to persuade her.
She would only be at ease if Seraphina stayed by Dashiell's side.
"I don't know anything." Seraphina was still very self-aware, "I'm afraid that by then, Dashiell will dislike me."
"Do you think he doesn't know your level?"
"Are we still friends or not?" Seraphina was angry.
"So what's there to worry about? Since he asked, you should stay. You two will be together day and night, and maybe one day, you'll rekindle your love." Cecilia teased.
"I really don't dare to hope." Seraphina really had no confidence.
"There's nothing wrong with giving yourself more chances." Cecilia persuaded.
Seraphina was actually very tempted.
She was tempted from the beginning, but she felt she didn't have the ability.
"Just take it as you agreeing." Cecilia didn't say much more.
With Seraphina, she had to help her make decisions.
Seraphina wanted to refuse, but couldn't find the words.
She held back and tacitly agreed. "Then I'll hang up."
"Cecilia." Seraphina suddenly called her.
"What?"
"Are you really okay?" Seraphina was actually very worried about her.
"I'm fine."
"Did Alaric really divorce you? Why? For political reasons, or personal feelings?"
"Who knows?" Cecilia laughed indifferently, "If you want a divorce, any reason can be an excuse. If you don't want a divorce, none of them will be a threat."
So.
Since it's a divorce, there's no need to delve into why.
