Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival

Amber’s POV.

in my boots.

“Are you nervous, Cara?” Sofia asked, staring at me with a rather calm look on her face. Compared to the annoyed look she had on her face before she kicked Richard and Bianca out, she seemed a lot

calmer now.

“To be honest, I’m a little nervous,” I admitted.

She chuckled. “Well, don’t be, my dear. It’s not like you and my grandson are going to get divorced

if I end up not liking you. And frankly, I don’t think that young fool would marry someone who wasn’t

worth it.” she said.

“Weren’t you upset with him because of me?”

She frowned. “Why would you think so, dear? Of course not. I have no reason to be upset with someone

I don’t even know,” she quickly clarified.

“If you don’t mind me asking, ma’am, why did you throw him out if it has nothing to do with me? Did he do something wrong?” I asked because I was genuinely curious.

think I’m worth

“I don’t know about you, Amber dear, but I’don’t think I’m obligated to welcome a man who doesn’t

enough,” Sofia responded, and I could hear the sadness in her voice. “This is my first time seeing him in six years, and even when I saw him six years ago, it was at my late husband’s funeral. The boy only comes here when someone dies, so I’ve gotten used to the belief that I’d only ever see him after I’m dead and he comes for my funeral.”

Hearing Sofia made me feel some type of way, and I finally understood why she seemed so upset with Richard.

“I’m so sorry, ma’am, I didn’t realize he was this bad,” I muttered, not knowing what else to say or how to properly react.

Sofia chuckled. “Don’t bother apologizing, my dear. I’m happy that at least he married a woman who

managed to get him to come home, because I know for a fact that this would never be his idea.”

The fact that both Bianca and Sofia were basically saying the same thing about Richard not liking the idea of coming home, and also with how Richard had reacted when they arrived, I couldn’t help but wonder what could be his reason for disliking this place so much.

“Anyway, enough about that silly kid. How old are you?” Sofia asked, catching me a little off guard with her sudden question.

Bianca had warned me that she had a habit of asking lots of questions, so I should prepare to respond

to a lot of them.

“I’m twenty–eight, but I’ll be turning twenty–nine in the next three months,” I answered.

She nodded. “Good. I was a little worried since you look so young, but it’s a relief that he didn’t marry someone he’s over a decade older than. He lacks the patience to deal with someone too young,” she explained and, even though I was confused, I stayed mute and kept listening. “How did you two

meet?”

This particular question didn’t really catch me off guard, but it made me nervous because I knew I’d have to tell her about my divorce, and recalling how Bianca had said she was picky, I didn’t want her

to judge me for being a divorcee.

“He and I met shortly after I found out that my ex–husband was cheating on me, and he became my emotional support. We ended up falling in love with each other, and now, here we are,” I explained. briefly, watching her expression carefully to see if her face changed when she heard me mention that

I had an ex–husband.

Surprisingly, the look on her face remained the same, almost as if she wasn’t surprised.

“Was your ex–husband abusive?” she asked suddenly.

“Not physically,” I responded.

“Well, I’m happy you thought it was possible to fall in love again, dear. Most women in your position wouldn’t give love a second chance so easily, but it’s good to know that you didn’t let your bastard ex– husband dictate your happiness for too long.” she said, catching me off guard again.

I felt a sudden clench in my chest on hearing her words, especially because I knew that my marriage

with Birhand wasn’t meal and that he and I were the farthest thing from heine in Inve with each

with Richard wasn’t real and that he and I were the farthest thing from being in love with each other. Hearing her mention how she was happy that I didn’t let Kayden determine my happiness and how

happy she was that I was able to fall in love again made me realize that one way or another, Kayden

still had a lot of power over me.

He was the reason why I entered into a loveless marriage, and if I were being honest with myself, I

currently wasn’t living my life the way I should because I was still hell–bent on doing everything to

make sure that he got what he deserved for ruining my life..

Both Richard and I were victims of Kayden’s, and as much as it hurt my pride to admit it, he still

had a lot of power over us.

Sighing. I finally responded to Sofia. “Thank you for your kind words, ma’am. Your grandson is an amazing person, and he changed my life,” I said to her, and I meant it.

“Does he make you happy?” she asked.

I paused for a while, looking for the best way to word my response before replying. “He gives me

hope, and yes, he does make me happy. I can’t explain how or why, but I know I’m happy with him, and I don’t regret marrying him for one second.”

Sofia smiled before nodding. “That’s all I wanted to hear, my dear. Now, you can stop calling me ma’am and start calling me Nonna, because from this day onward, you’re my granddaughter. I accept

you.”
