My Ex-husband Begs Me Back
Chapter 1400 Danger

Chapter 1400 Danger

"Now, it seems like saying so much is of no use, Mom is already gone, will never come back, I don't even know how to face Dad now. Especially now, the police are still investigating whether Mom's accident is related to Dad."

Grace, of course, wouldn't respond directly to Regina's question, but instead kept digging, continuing to follow her own pace and strategy with Regina.

She used a gradual approach to disrupt Regina's words, make Regina more and more flustered, and then she would reveal her true colors.

Sure enough, when Regina heard the words related to Brody, her face froze for a moment, but it didn't last long. After all, she didn't want Grace to suspect anything. She stared blankly at Grace, softly asking, "Grace, what are you suspecting? Although your parents' relationship is a bit rocky, as I mentioned earlier, they did argue often when you were not at home. But your dad wouldn't do something dangerous to your mom. You can still trust in that because they've been married for many years. If he had such thoughts, wouldn't they have shown up long ago?"

Regina still stared at Grace with a probing look, as if waiting to see if Grace would pick up any hints from her words.

But Grace remained silent and unresponsive, with almost no expression on her face. This made it hard for Regina to read her. Regina asked softly, "Grace, what are you thinking? Did you hear me? I didn't mean anything by it, just don't want you to make the wrong choice, and don't want there to be any distance between you and your father. At this point, your only family is your father."

"Aunt, are you saying that although my parents' relationship is strained, Dad wouldn't do anything dangerous to Mom?"

"Yes, think about it. They've been together for so many years, there must still be some feelings between them, even if it's just simple family affection. So how could he harm your mom?" "Yes, you're right. I just have a question."

"What question?"

"Aunt, shouldn't Mom have told you many times that her relationship with Dad is not as harmonious as it seems on the surface? Dad is not as good to her as he seems, right? Since Mom has such a good relationship with you, she must have told you, right?"

Grace looked at Regina with wide eyes, not accusing, just asking innocently. It was as if she was saying, 'My parents fought, you must have heard about it, right?'

Regina was completely taken aback. Her eyes blinked rapidly, and there were complex emotions flashing in them. She couldn't meet Grace's gaze directly and became more nervously tense.

She kept exploring Grace's every move and word, but Grace kept staring at her, making Regina slightly incoherent.

Grace pretended not to see Regina's reaction, just asking calmly, "Aunt, even though you're looking out for me by saying this, wanting to keep me from having a strained relationship with my father, shouldn't we let the police investigate this matter? There should be results by tomorrow morning, as the forensic team works quickly."

Regina nodded, her face looking unpleasant. She furrowed her brow and asked, "So what do you think? Do you suspect your father?"

"I don't know. I'm confused. That's why I came to you, Aunt. What should I do? I really don't know who to turn to now, so I can only talk to you."

"Silly child, I'm your aunt. You can tell me anything. But I don't have a definite answer for you in this matter. One side is your mother, my best sister, and the other side is your father, who has been good to me too. Over the years, both your mom and dad have been good to me. In my heart, they are my brother and sister. I've always hoped they would be okay. But I don't know how things turned out this way. It's really disappointing."

Regina's words didn't provide any answers. It seemed like she was deliberately confusing Grace's feelings.

But Grace remained calm. No matter what Regina said, her reaction didn't change much.

Grace's lips tightened, questioning herself - maybe she hadn't been forceful enough to make Regina slip up?

After deep thought, she spoke again, "Aunt, I understand your words. I just have a doubt, something my mother mentioned before I left home."

"What doubt? What are you suspecting?"

Regina asked immediately, her eyes filled with surprise and caution.

Grace could see everything clearly, but she wouldn't say anything or show it. She just pretended to hesitate, looking troubled, as if reluctant to speak. In her heart, she sneered. She looked at Regina, with a hesitant expression on her face, as if conflicted about whether or not to share her thoughts.

Regina didn't want to miss out on anything. She hurriedly said, "Grace, is there something you can't tell Aunt? Whatever it is, just tell me. I'll analyze it for you. Maybe your mom told me about it, but I'm so confused right now that I can't remember many things."

Grace nodded subtly, still looking very hesitant and troubled. After a long silence, she spoke softly, "Aunt, I don't know if Mom has told you, but she has known for a while that Dad has a mistress. Their relationship seems quite close. Dad confides in her about everything, and Mom even knows this woman's address and has recordings of their conversations. Mom mentioned to me before that she has something that could ruin Dad's reputation, but for now, I don't know what she was referring to."

"Did your mom mention this to you?"

"Yes, once. At that time, I just thought she was upset and tried to comfort her, telling her not to overthink. Looking back now, I was really naive. Mom probably knew a lot of things, but she kept it to herself." The more Grace thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. It wasn't just for show in front of Regina, she truly felt unsettled. The thought of Page, of what Page had done for Regina, and how Regina had repaid her by stealing Page's husband and living in a house that belonged to Page.

If it were someone else, Grace might not have felt so resentful. But why did it have to be Regina?

Grace was filled with a mix of emotions, but she held back, knowing that things weren't completely clear yet. She didn't want to pretend to be friendly with Regina as she had been before.

Grace pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and looked at Regina, saying, "Has Mom ever mentioned any of this to you?"
