Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 409

The door to the ward opened, and Gilbert walked in. Sienna and Rosie had met him before, so they knew each other. However, they wondered what he was doing here.

It wasn't just them who were puzzled. Gilbert was also confused. He looked around the room and asked curiously, "Is Mr. Flynn not around?"

Sienna shook her head and explained, "Howard came by, but he just left."

"He left?" Gilbert, still confused, looked at Sienna. "Hello, Ms. Shaw. We meet again so soon..." Then, he turned to Rosie. "Hello, Ms. Miller. I'm Gilbert Hardin. We've met."

"Hello, Mr. Hardin," Rosie greeted politely with a nod.

"Since Mr. Flynn isn't here, I'll explain what's going on," Gilbert said. "Mr. Flynn entrusted me with this matter. He said that you, Ms. Miller, might need my services for your divorce case. Since Mr. Flynn's not here, we can discuss it directly."

Sienna glanced at Rosie and thought, 'Howard works fast. Rosie just got her bandages removed today, and he's already brought Mr. Hardin here. I guess he really wants Rosie to end her terrible marriage.'

Sienna and Gilbert looked at Rosie, waiting for her to speak.

"Mr. Hardin, thank you for making this trip. But I will take care of the divorce myself," Rosie refused.

Sienna was startled. "Rosie."

Gilbert frowned in confusion. "Ms. Miller, are you worried about the fees? I am indeed expensive, and it would be overkill for me to handle a divorce case..."

Gilbert was quite frank. "But Mr. Flynn did me a favor. He will handle the fees, so you don't have to worry about it at all."

The more he spoke, the more resolute Rosie became in her stance. "Mr. Hardin, thank you very much. But really, you don't have to."

"Hmm..." Gilbert was stunned, not expecting to be rejected. However, he didn't force it. "As you wish, Ms. Miller. I will take my leave. If you prefer, you can
