    Grace was taken aback, then curled her lips and said, “I don’t really want to ask, you must have wanted to divorce me a long time ago, I can feel it.”

    So, she was actually prepared for it a long time ago.

    Or rather, when she got married, she already knew that the day of divorce would not be too far away.

    However, this day came earlier than she had expected.

    Mr. Clark senior passed away just over a month ago, and it hasn’t been a hundred days yet.

    Otto couldn’t help it.

    Otto was surprised by Grace’s answer, and he smirked a little before not explaining.

    So Grace felt that what she said was probably right.

    Otto took a few puffs of smoke and finally pressed the remaining half of the cigarette into the ashtray next to him.

    He didn’t continue the previous topic, but asked Grace, “What are your plans next?”

    Grace blinked and thought for a moment, “Plans? Currently, I don’t have any. Initially, I just want to go out and walk around.”

    She had just divorced Otto and was really nervous and scared.

    Otto’s next wife would definitely be pitied and mocked by many people.

    Especially for the reason why she married Otto, there was something that couldn’t be mentioned.

    Yes, it couldn’t be mentioned.

    She originally married into the Clark family for the sake of a wedding.

    Mr. Clark senior’s poor health forced Otto to marry her.

    Grace remembered that Otto seemed unwilling at first.

    It was just that at that time, he was bound by morality and family ties, and could not completely refuse.

    Otto was forced to marry her in a helpless situation.

    However, the fact proved that a wedding was really just a nonsense thing.

    She married Otto, and the old man’s mood improved a lot, but his body did not improve at all.

    It was still suffering until the end.

    From her marriage to Otto until now, the time was less than a year.

    So she could imagine what expression and eyes others would have when they looked at her.

    She might as well go out and hide.

    Grace lowered her gaze and looked at the water glass in front of her, “When Grandpa reaches one hundred days, I will come back.”

    Otto thought for a moment, “If you need anything in the future, you can find Mason and let him help you.”

    Mason is Otto’s assistant and has been with Otto for many years.Otto takes care of work and sometimes life for Mason.

    Grace nods and doesn’t refuse, “Okay, then I’ll be shameless in the future.”

    Waiting for the dishes to come up, Grace doesn’t be polite with Otto and eats with her head down.

    She doesn’t say a word.

    Actually, she doesn’t know what to say.

    In the short-lived marriage of less than a year before, the two of them didn’t say much.

    Apart from turning off the lights and cuddling in bed at night, there seemed to be no other way of communication.

    Now that they are divorced, their relationship is much more distant.

    There is even less to say.

    Otto doesn’t seem to have much appetite, he eats a few bites and puts down his chopsticks.

    Grace ignores him and just eats until she’s full.

    However, they did order too much food.

    Grace didn’t finish half of it and was completely defeated.

    She leaned back in her chair, rang the bell for the waiter to come over, and pointed to the things on the table, “Pack it up, pack it up, all of these, pack them all up for me.”

    In this star-rated restaurant, the people who come to eat are almost all influential figures.

    There are hardly anyone who needs to pack up after finishing their meal.

    The waiter was stunned again.

    Otto spoke up next to him, “Pack it up.”

    The waiter was embarrassed again, “Okay, wait a moment.”

    While waiting for the waiter to go out and get the takeaway box, Otto stared at Grace.

    Grace was uncomfortable being looked at by him, “What, am I embarrassing you?”

    Otto sneered, didn’t answer, but instead asked, “I seem to have forgotten to ask you, why did you agree to marry me back then?”

    Grace blinked, “You have money.”

    Before Otto could say anything, Grace added, “But later I realized that there are plenty of people who are richer than you.”

    Otto raised his eyebrows, “Is that why you agreed to divorce so easily?”

    Grace smiled and didn’t say anything.

    The waiter came over and helped pack the food, and Grace followed Otto out with the takeaway box.

    Otto had something to do and helped Grace hail a cab.

    Grace sat in the car and asked through the window, “What about you?”

    Otto frowned, “What?”

    Grace asked, “Why did you want to marry me?”

    Otto looked at Grace, his voice very flat, “You’re pretty.”

    Just as Grace was about to laugh, Otto added, “But later I realized that there are plenty of people who are prettier than you.”
