My Blind Wife Wants Divorced

He knew his arrival was unwelcome. Especially since after that lunch, his beloved girlfriend had left him. He heard Leonel say he wanted to discuss many things with Chris. Could Ester change his mind? Of course not. Not because she couldn’t, but because she saw Robby and Agatha’s attitude, which seemed to let Leonel ignore her. Ester didn’t matter. Besides, her visit was not just to meet Leonel.

Was she going to admit defeat in front of those two people? No, she wouldn’t. She still felt the rejection she received before, especially the words that came out of Agatha Theodore’s mouth. She vividly remembered when she was getting ready to leave town for a photoshoot. Ester’s name was still relatively new at that time, but she received many prestigious and significant projects.

“I’m not here for a regular visit,” Agatha said firmly. She didn’t sit down and wasn’t welcomed with Ester’s friendly smile. Agatha didn’t dislike this beautiful girl. Ester is a perfect match for Leonel. Her tall, graceful figure and beauty made many people turn their heads and admire her alongside the handsome Leonel.

However, Agatha couldn’t give her approval for their relationship. Ester’s past reminded her of what Ester’s parents had done to Robby Grisham’s parents. The fierce and dirty business rivalry had strained their relationship. They even block listed the Grisham family from connecting with the Gisela family. But when Ester married Robby, the business relationship became even more substantial.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

The death of Ester’s parents in an accident made the Grisham’s soften their stance a bit. They knew a business operated and developed by someone other than the original owner would only last for a while. Moreover, their daughter chose the path of a model instead of managing her parents’ legacy. The competition moved away from Grisham’s blocked zone.

However, the Grisham’s didn’t expect Leonel, the family’s pride, would be involved with their eternal rivals. The relationship still needs their approval, including Agatha’s. She didn’t want Robby to be disappointed with her for showing any leniency towards Ester. She used her profession as a model as an excuse, even though it seemed made up.

“Yes, Aunt,” Ester smiled sincerely. Despite Agatha’s unwelcoming reception and gaze, Ester tried to show her best side. She felt that someday she would earn Agatha’s approval, even though it would be difficult. She just had to try harder, especially in winning over Agatha Theodore. Couldn’t the struggle of her love for Leonel touch the heart of this woman who was like a mother?

“But, Aunt?” Ester tried to interrupt, but Agatha’s gaze made her refrain from speaking again.

“Do I have to tell you why we don’t approve?” Ester fell silent.

“If you want that, you can meet the grandfather who raised you. Why won’t the Grisham’s accept a direct descendant of the Gisela family as their in-law?”

Confusion was evident in Ester’s eyes.

“If you already know the answer, you can meet me. Respect yourself, and I’ll write you a check that you can use wisely. Leonel will never marry you, no matter what.” Agatha grabbed her bag, which she had placed on the glass-topped table with a small vase of flowers in the middle. “That’s all I wanted to talk to you about. Good afternoon.”

Agatha left Ester just like that. In her indescribable confusion, Ester didn’t know what to do. Unfortunately, she had to fulfill her scheduled photoshoot out of town before meeting the person Agatha referred to. A week after that meeting, Ester set off for her hometown in Bali. Her grandfather chose to live there instead of in New York City, where he could oversee the movement of his child’s business legacy and the management by his other child.

Ester still received an allowance but only cared a little about the business. She was hurt because her childhood was like that of a doll. She had been given material things but lacked love. Ester’s small desire was simple-to be loved and given ample time and attention by her parents. But because of their business, her parents were always busy, ignoring the presence of Ester at home, needing their attention.

Growing up as a girl deprived of love, she rebelled and promised not to continue her parents’ hard-built business. Even when they both died in an accident, in her heart, the company took away her parents. She resented that legacy that she rarely asked about its progress. She even prayed for the business to go bankrupt. It was pointless to travel the world when its founder had forgotten a child who should have been showered with love.

When she met her grandfather, everything was finally revealed. Her grandfather no longer hid anything. But what could Ester do? Give up on Leonel?

She couldn’t.

Her encounter with Leonel was etched sweetly in Ester’s heart. The girl starved for love received much attention and genuine affection from Leonel. The way he treated her and the sweet things he said were not just empty words. Who wouldn’t be enchanted and fall deeply in love with such a man? It would be a lie if Ester could turn away from Leonel’s charm. Even together, Leonel was not the type to flirt with other women. His life revolved around work and meeting Ester amidst his busy schedule.

Ester felt that if Leonel could make time for her, why couldn’t her parents? Ester knew how busy Leonel was then, yet he still gave her plenty of time and attention. It meant Leonel’s intentions were genuine, right? But what about her parents? They only wanted descendants to ensure the continuity of their business. Unfortunately, Ester had no interest in that business at all. It was a cursed business that strained the relationship between parents and child to the point of separation.

“What do you want, Ester?” Agatha’s question broke Ester’s reverie. They had been sitting in this luxurious living room for a while. Ester sat casually. Several dishes were served before them, but Agatha, Robby, and Ester could have shown interest in tasting them.

“From the beginning, my intention was clear, right, Aunt?” Ester smirked slightly. “I just want to marry Leonel. We love each other. That’s all. Is it difficult?”

“Do you forget what I have warned you about all along?”

Ester pouted. “Always dwelling on the past. I am here not because of my past. Do you want me to be born as a Gisela descendant?”

Agatha growled in frustration. If it weren’t for the gentle touch on her shoulder that she knew came from a certain someone, she would have raised her voice even higher. Talking to Ester always made her emotions unstable. She also had to remember the doctor’s warning about her health. She couldn’t give up now. Leonel still needed her advice, even though he often ignored it. Moreover, her son was entangled in quite a complicated problem. As a mother, how could she burden her son further due to her sudden deteriorating health?

“I won’t give up, Aunt. My mind is made up. I want to marry Leonel. What did I do wrong to be rejected in such a way? Besides, now we just have to wait. We will formalize this relationship.”

This time, Robby spoke up. “We stick to our decision.”

“That’s up to Uncle and Aunt. I can only pray that you realize we truly love each other. Our love is strong. Unbreakable.” Ester chose to stand up. She decided to spend her time in the apartment. Being here made her dizzy. Tomorrow, she still had a photo shoot with a new brand. She couldn’t disappoint her agency. “Excuse me.”
