Chapter 153: Chapter 153: What Goes On Inside a Dog’s Mind
Regarding May, to be honest, Nora felt a bit awkward about it.
After the second marriage, May devoted most of her love to pleasing Quentin, so she spoiled Spencer to an almost heavenly extent.
As for herself...
Her expression showed some loneliness, though it’s hard to say entirely bad.
Jasper probably understood the situation, pursed his lips, and after a long moment, he spoke: "Nora, let me share my thoughts, you listen, and if it fits, you can decide."
"Just say it, we’re married; there’s nothing we can’t speak openly about."
"I think, since they’re treating you like this, you might as well sever ties with them. If you feel guilty about it, I’ll pay them the support fee on your behalf."
After Jasper finished speaking, Nora fell into a deathly silence.
Feel guilty? Why should she feel guilty, knowing he said this because he worried she might be uncomfortable.
Taking a deep breath, she also understood: "I want to sever ties, but as for support, I have no obligation. This eighteen thousand eight hundred dollars is the appropriate fee for me leaving the family."
She had already broken free from that family, and as for how May felt, she was no longer interested.
When she pushed her daughter out to use her dowry to fund the stepson’s schooling, perhaps she had already lost the mother-daughter bond with her.
"Alright, since you’ve decided, I’ll have someone help you handle this matter," Jasper said.
Nora nodded without rejecting, exhaled deeply: "Then let’s go to the entrance and meet that bastard."
She looked at the night scene outside the window, smiling brightly in relief.
May gave birth to her, giving her life indeed, but that doesn’t mean she should be constrained her whole life.
Jasper came over, holding her hand: "I’ll handle today’s matter. If you directly tell them you want to sever the mother-daughter relationship, it would be too easy for them. Let me take care of it."
This time, she didn’t refuse, holding hands, they returned to the neighborhood.
Having been watched several times, Nora’s heart gradually grew numb.
Again meeting May’s evasive gaze, she just sneered, feeling relieved in her heart.
"You’re finally out, you little girl fooled us for so long! Clearly married into the Sinclair Family, yet only gave us eighteen thousand eight hundred as dowry. Did you keep the rest of the money for yourself?"
Quentin said fiercely, in his mind, dowry money was supposed to be handed over to the girl’s family for safekeeping, he felt nothing wrong about it.
But the people in this neighborhood were educated, only feeling speechless about his comments.
"What era is it, how can someone still have this kind of thought."
"What? Haven’t seen they have a son too? Obviously, because of this."
The people around pointed and talked about him, but Quentin paid no attention.
His greedy eyes fell directly on Jasper.
Thinking that Nora knew his true identity, he decided not to hide it anymore, and the suit he wore today looked like it was high quality.
Quentin’s eyes lit up, even thinking, "If only I had a suit like that."
Jasper could see his dog’s belly thoughts, he said nothing.
He just wanted to see what Quentin would say next.
"But since so much time has passed, I won’t pursue you anymore. But to make amends, you must let your brother live here. His school is close, and you need to hire a driver to shuttle him to school. Plus, he has a poor constitution, so you need a dedicated nutritionist to cook for him."
