Chapter 260 Divorcing My Husband Over His Stepsister's Secret Chapter 263 Anna's POV: I watched Claire face light up as she heard Blake's voice on the other end. Claire, how are you?' His deep voice came through, the kind that always got to me. It was the first time I'd heard Blake's voice after we separated. His tone was urgent and concerned, obviously worried about Claire. She broke into a radiant smile the moment she heard him.

I stood there in silence, noting how his voice fluctuated with emotion when speaking to her-rich and expressive-so different from the flat, detached way he always spoke to me. It was like watching two different men. The contrast was piercing. I remained quiet, listening to their conversation while Daniel shot me a questioning look, silently asking if we should leave. I shook my head. I needed to stay. I wanted to talk to Blake about our divorce, and I had to endure this torture first. Blake could be with whoever he wanted. They always claimed they were "just siblings," but I knew better.

Still, I wasn't in a position to complain. True letting go isn't pretending to forget or refusing to speak about it-it's feeling genuinely at peace deep down. I remembered how Blake once wanted me to work at Wright Group, saying "this way you can help me when I'm old." I wondered if his attitude toward his stepmother and stepsister would change if he knew Caroline had caused the death of our child. "Blakey, I'm doing okay, but working at the company is so exhausting," Claire whined. "Maybe I should quit.

I still have ballet rehearsal tonight." "Giving up so soon?" Blake teased, clearly trying to hide his concern about me. "Weren't you the one who insisted on learning company management? Said you wanted to help me with the family business alongside your ballet career?" "Well, I didn't know it would be this hard," she pouted. "And that assistant is so strict with me-nothing I do is right! It's so annoying! I just want to learn the basics before Starlit Ballet's performance season starts, to lighten your load." "It's up to you," Blake replied indulgently. "If you're tired, take a break.

Getting approvals and paperwork signed is no problem at all. I mainly want you to have some business skills besides ballet, but not at the expense of your dance career. After chatting a while longer, Blake finally asked what he really wanted to know: "Did you see anyone at the company today?" "Oh! I almost forgot the important part-I saw Anna today!" Claire exclaimed. "Blakey, do you want to talk to her?" My heart began to sink, turning cold inch by inch. Invisibly, I clenched my fists tight. I was afraid Blake would hang up at the mention of my name, he wouldn't want to talk to me.
