The Divorce That Brought Us Back novel Chapter 368

No mother had the heart to be separated from her own child.

Especially a baby who was only two months old.

She hadn't even been weaned.

But Cassidy knew perfectly well that getting a divorce wouldn't be easy.

She had played all her cards.

Worried that Cassidy was suffering in silence, Bridget had stayed up talking with her all night. She advised Cassidy that while the baby was still little, it was best to leave her at the Quincy estate to build a bond with the elders. Once she was a bit older, Cassidy could take her back.

The Quincy family had already ruined one child—Parker. Using his educational incompetence as leverage to take Maddie away later wouldn't be difficult.

Cassidy understood Bridget's reasoning.

She understood completely, and she accepted it.

She had also confessed that she didn't like the nickname Maddie.

Because after the baby was born, everyone else was busy discussing business and interests. Only Parker had looked at the child with nothing but pure adoration.

Parker had personally picked out the sweet nickname, and both his father and grandfather had approved.

In the eyes of those grown men, a little girl was supposed to be sweet and adorable.

Cassidy didn't like the nickname, but she kept her opinions to herself. Her acceptance, compromise, and obedience lowered everyone's defenses.

Was she heartless?

Bridget didn't think so.

If someone couldn't stomach this level of sacrifice, they would never achieve great things.

And now, this idiot son of hers was actually asking if Cassidy 'had the heart' for it.

Sitting in her leather office chair, Bridget crossed her long legs and tapped her fingers against the armrest. After a moment of thought, she fired back, "If she didn't have the heart for it, what would you do?"

Frowning, Parker said softly, "I could try to make things work with her."

Only a true idiot would say something like that.

"If you really cared about her, you'd stop bothering her."

Bridget had no patience to humor a fool playing the repentant prodigal. After brushing him off with a few more words, she waved her hand and kicked him out of her office.

A sliver of guilt toward Cassidy crept into Parker's heart.

Perhaps this guilt stemmed from the fact that her success had earned him praise from his friends.

The human heart was like a flickering lantern in a dark alley.

Wavering and impossible to read.
