Young Master Vance Has An Enchanting Wife!-Chapter 272: Are You Leaving?

Victor Grant was at a loss, with a headache, not knowing how to respond to his unique mother’s words. Become loyal like a devoted dog? So in your eyes, is your son really just a dog?

"Mom, can’t you speak more civilly? Am I really your son? Or am I just some freebie with a phone plan?"

"I’m not going to waste time on that nonsense. What did you just say? May Morgan and Vincent Vance are divorced? Where did you hear that? Did she really leave without taking anything?" Back when May asked Victor Grant to print the divorce papers, Heather Holt was already aware of it. So she naturally knew all there was to know about May and Vincent’s marriage. Although she felt a bit regretful, thinking her son liked a woman who was already married, just considering how gentle May was and how much her son adored her—Heather didn’t say anything.

Later, when Heather heard that May was willing to walk away without anything to divorce Vincent, she realized that May was different from other ordinary women, having a stubborn streak in her bones, and she liked a woman like that.

Victor Grant scratched his head, feeling it was unfair to May, and said, "Yeah, May didn’t want anything, just demanded Vincent sign the papers. To push Vincent into signing, she even gifted him that box of Yellow Lip Fish Jelly, only then she got the divorce agreement."

"Oh, the fish jelly is nothing; as long as May can get her freedom, it’s worth it. Tell May not to worry, she can spend our family’s money freely, it wouldn’t run out in generations. If she leaves the marriage with nothing, it’s nothing to fuss over so long as she can leave that jerk." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Victor thought the same way; he wasn’t short of money. May didn’t take a penny, that’s her choice, at least she shook off Vincent, right?

"By the way, Mom, do you have my household register? When can you arrange to bring it to me—I need it."

That was Victor’s true purpose for calling his mother. Although he didn’t know when he might end up with May, he decided it’s wise to prepare ahead, isn’t it? Maybe someday May will find him pleasing to the eye and with a sudden rush of emotion, she’ll nod and agree to marry him?

Heather naturally knew why Victor wanted the household register. She felt gratified: "Ah, my son really has grown up, making plans, huh? Alright, you got it, I’ll have someone bring over your household register, always be ready!"

Heather hung up the phone gleefully, genuinely going to find the register. Just as Victor was about to go downstairs, he suddenly turned around and was shocked to find May, who he didn’t know when she appeared, glaring at him with displeasure.

Looking at May’s expression, she probably heard every word of his conversation with his mom earlier.

"Well, I... I have some matters to attend to, so I need the register." Victor, knowing he was at fault, hurriedly concocted excuses to explain.

May didn’t intend to argue about this; she just found his jubilant celebration of her divorce a bit disturbing.

"Did you tell Aunt Heather about my divorce with Vincent?" May rubbed her tense brows, advising Victor rather helplessly: "I think you really shouldn’t talk to her about such things; truly, I won’t marry you."

Heather was even more enthusiastically reaching out to May than Victor, almost daily calling, expressing care, and sharing inspirational messages to comfort May’s wounded spirits, stressing her son’s virtues to the point where May felt almost embarrassed to keep refusing.

But May really felt nothing for Victor, so how could she agree to marry him?

Victor wasn’t new to being rejected by May. He’s developed a thick skin, so as usual, he pretended not to hear it and feigned urgent business to flee downstairs: "I remembered there’s something needing handling; if you need anything, just call my mom, OK?"

May watched the departing Victor, who ran faster than a rabbit, contemplating that perhaps it’s time to find a new place to live.

Living at Victor’s house always led to misunderstandings and conflicts. Since she never intended to have a future with Victor, it’s better to clarify their relationship early to prevent anyone from getting overly attached.

Miller was coming upstairs, coincidentally crossing paths with Victor. Seeing him rush away and May wear a look of helplessness, Miller knew what had transpired.

"Miss Morgan, honestly speaking, Mr. Grant isn’t bad at all; he treats you so well, doesn’t mind your past marriage, I don’t see why you’re hesitant." Miller was eager to match May with Victor, knowing deeply how genuine this family was to May. Everyone could see it, even Heather, so wealthy and dignified, treated May better than a birth mother, always keeping her promises. Such a good family, it’s a blessing few would encounter in multiple lifetimes.

Yet, despite this wonderful family, May was adamantly disinterested, leaving one to wonder what was going on in her mind.

Any other girl would have jumped at the chance to have the wedding right away, right?

May turned to look at Miller, knowing she meant well, but she couldn’t get past her own inner barrier.

Whether it was not letting go of Vincent, or feeling jaded in love, ultimately, she simply couldn’t muster any romantic interest toward Victor; the most she felt for him was gratitude.

"Miller, when I first married Vincent, did you think he treated me well?" May’s lips curled into a faint smile, but that smile carried a heavy meaning.

Miller thought for a moment, then replied honestly: "Honestly, Young Master initially treated you faultlessly. While he had a bit of a temper, after being with you, he always accommodated you; no flaw in that aspect."

"Right? That’s why, at the beginning, men suppress themselves from acting out when they’re infatuated, but once the feelings fade, their true colors show. Whether it’s Vincent or Victor, they are just rich sons of wealthy families. What’s the difference? People see him treating me well now and assume I’m happy, yet who’s to say if I marry him, he won’t turn into another Vincent once he tires of me."

May said this, softly sighing and shaking her head, then said to Miller: "They say women shouldn’t marry just because he treats her well, because once he stops being nice, you have nothing left. But I don’t want to rely on Vincent or Victor’s money either, so why should I get married at all? Can’t I support myself?"

"You... want to support yourself?" Miller caught a hint of something off in May’s words. Was she planning on leaving?
