My Deceased Wife Wants a Divorce (Hannah) novel Chapter 779

“I just…”

“You just what?” Hannah cut him off before he could continue, her chin lifted slightly as she stared directly into his eyes.

“You just think that I should be here to clear your name, that even while we're in the middle of a divorce, I should unconditionally come to your aid.”

Hannah’s voice was firm and resonant, each word striking Lionel’s heart like a heavy blow.

The three elders sitting nearby made no move to intervene. They knew Hannah’s previously gentle nature, how she had always let Lionel have his way. Seeing her stand up to him and speak so forcefully was a scene they had never witnessed before.

“Lionel, you think it’s wrong for me to talk about the divorce proceedings now? Well, let me ask you, was it okay when you summoned me right after Sandra’s surgery to hand me divorce papers?”

“Was it okay when you abandoned me when I was sick, all because of a few words from Sandra?”

“Was it okay when you gave me the silent treatment just because I said a few things you didn’t like about Sandra?”

“Was it okay when you, pressured by these elders, immediately suspected me and stormed into my home early in the morning to interrogate me?”

With each question, Hannah took another step forward.

And Lionel, plagued by guilt, anxiety, and fear, took a step back.

He continued retreating until the backs of his knees hit the edge of the sofa, and with nowhere left to go, he collapsed onto it, staring up at Hannah with a trembling gaze.

Hannah stopped and stood before him, looking down at the man beneath her with an air of imperious disdain.
