Chapter 8
Anne couldn’t believe that she didn’t even care about this. For a moment, she forgot the lines she had prepared to show off.
Garrett didn’t expect her to be so easy to talk to. Just as he was about to speak, Anne started to act coquettishly, holding his hand.
“Garrett, look, even the lady agreed.”
Those words that were about to be refused got stuck in the throat in just a few words.
He raised his gaze and looked at Ruth, finally noticing that something was wrong with her, furrowing his brows.
“Ruth, you really didn’t mind?”
Ruth’s expression was indifferent, “I don’t mind or not mind, stay wherever you want.”
After finishing speaking, she gestured to the nanny to bring breakfast and confidently returned to
her
r room.
Anne, who had achieved her goal, was extremely happy and immediately went home to start packing her luggage.
Only Garrett was stunned.
He was restless all morning, and several times he found excuses to knock on Ruth’s door.
“The little girl loved to make a fuss, are you really not afraid that she would move in and disturb you?”
“If you were not happy, just say it, I wouldn’t have let her move in.”
“Ruth, I said that the people outside were just playing around and couldn’t compare to you. Don’t keep the anger inside.”
Time and time again, Ruth grew tired and pressed her forehead.
“I have said it before, I really don’t mind.”
Seeing her expression, Garrett, rarely, put away his carefree and dissolute appearance towards everything, and suddenly became flustered and confused.
“Why don’t you mind? You weren’t like this before.”
Ruth glanced at him and gave a natural smile.
“Isn’t that great? Haven’t you always wished that I could stay the way I am now?”

After saying that, she made an excuse to go to bed and directly asked Garrett to leave.
That night, Anne moved in with her luggage.
Anne acted as she was the hostess, giving orders to the servants masterfully. But Ruth said nothing and just fore the calendar off the wall.
The tearing sound, like nails scraping on a blackboard, inexplicably made Garrett feel a little
uneasy.
He looked at the few remaining pages of the calendar and couldn’t help but ask.
“Do you tear this calendar every day? Is there something important?”
“No, just tearing it for fun.”
When she said these words, her face was full of indifference, but it made Garrett increasingly
anxious.
He remembered the various abnormal behaviors she had exhibited recently, all of which occurred after Anne appeared, and suddenly had a clue.
He watched the people pointing and gesturing on the second floor and finally stood up.
“Ruth, this is our home, my promise will not change. Anne is not suitable to stay here, I will send
her back today.”
After speaking, he hurriedly went upstairs, not knowing what he said in Anne’s ear. After a moment, Anne, with red eyes and a sense of grievance, took her suitcase and left with him.
The world finally quieted down.
In the following days, Garrett did not come back.
Ruth also didn’t mind, packing her own luggage.
On the third–to–last day, she went to the notary office and had all the properties she had bought with Garrett’s card in the past notarized, ensuring that they were under her own name.
On the second–to–last day, she stored all the jewelry, which filled dozens of display cabinets, in the bank vault, intending to transfer them to her new home after completing the divorce procedures.
She wasted a whole five years of her youth on Garrett, and she won’t receive a penny less than what she deserves in the divorce settlement.
These, all count as her mental damages.
