Chapter 98 You’re Not Planning to Divorce Walter Anymore?
Odin didn’t bother with small talk, instead he looked at Walter and said, “Mr. Hinton, Carley is already
rushing us.”
Walter nodded, shifting his gaze from me to the little girl, saying, “Olivia, you’ve been troubled today,
please leave the other dresses here as well.”
Olivia nodded, smiling, “Alright, as long as Tabatha likes my designs, I’ll bring over any nice clothes in
the future.”
I looked at Olivia and laughed, “Long time no see, your design skills are getting better and better. It This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
seems that in the future, if I want to wear the clothes you design, I’ll have to start lining up.”
She curved into a crescent smile and said, “If Tabatha likes my design, there’s no need to queue. Here,
you can always cut in line.”
Her words made everyone burst into laughter, and Odin was urged to go over to Carley’s side again.
So, everyone just walked and talked at the same time.
Olivia was Odin’s sister, who had a passion for design since she was a child. Her family elders also
supported her, setting up a studio for her. Over the past two years, the young girl had worked hard and
achieved some success in this field. Many fashion shows and international brands had extended an
olive branch to her.
We rarely got to see each other on regular days, and it was a rare occasion to see each other today as
well. The young girl was lively, talking non-stop all the way.

The inner courtyard was filled with many dignitaries from River City, either officials or businessmen, all
of whom had come. Carley, who enjoyed watching plays, had set up a stage in the courtyard.
Underneath the stage, the usually spacious inner courtyard was filled with many guests, making it very
lively.
The guests who came to congratulate all wished Carley well. Carley was happy and kindly asked the
uncles of the Hinton family to take good care of the guests.
Walter and I approached Carley. Upon seeing us, she looked at Walter, her kind face revealing a hint of
helplessness. “There are so many guests today. Why didn’t you come here to help your uncles greet
the guests? Where have you been?”
Walter gently comforted Carley with a soft smile, “It’s just some temporary business at the company
that made me late, Grandma, please don’t be angry.”
Of course, Carley wouldn’t blame him. She said a few words and then didn’t say anything more.
The birthday banquet was unlike other gatherings. The elderly loved the hustle and bustle, and the
Hinton family was not short of money. They had invited a famous chef to cook at their old house.
Therefore, the dining table was set up under the stage, allowing the congratulatory guests to eat while
listening to the opera.
The opera singers were all famous actors, their melodies were melodious and uplifting, making those
who enjoyed listening to opera utterly intoxicated.
Of course, the young people were also taken into consideration. The stage was not only for plays, but
also for other performances. Probably, the singer was invited by the third uncle of the Hinton family. He
was a performer from Hong Kong and Taiwan, with an impressive voice.

Many of his fans were particularly excited when they saw him.
During the banquet, toasts were made to show respect and welcome to the guests. Walter toasted with
the guests, exchanged polite pleasantries, and then drained his glass in one gulp.
I was pregnant, so after explaining the situation, I naturally didn’t have to drink alcohol.
Sitting quietly at the table eating, Carley, after a round of
congratulations, probably tired, looked at me and said, “Tabatha, I’m a bit weary, could you help me go
back to rest?”
The two uncles sitting next to her were taken aback, both of them turned to look at me. In the past,
Carley always had them help her leave first, why did she directly ask me to help her leave today?
I gave a polite smile to my two aunts, then stood up and helped Carley leave the table.
In Carley’s room, I poured her a cup of hot water and placed it beside her, then quietly stood aside.
Having married into the Hinton family for these past two years, I understood some of the rules.
Carley had me take her home on purpose, presumably because she had something to tell me.
Sure enough, a moment later, Carley reached out for the water glass, took a shallow sip, and then
looked at me, “Tabatha, these two months are almost over, and it seems that Walter has no intention of
divorcing you. I’m old and I don’t want to interfere in your young people’s affairs, but if you insist on me
getting involved, I, as an old woman who has lived for most of my life, am not incapable.”
I guessed she would ask about Walter and me. I looked at her, calmly “saying, “Grandma, did you want
me to divorce Walter just because of
my unspeakable past five years ago?”

Hearing me say this, she frowned, her face somewhat displeased, “What? From what you’re saying,
are you not planning to divorce Walter anymore?”
