Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Zoey was touched once again, and she felt the urge to whip up something in the kitchen, but Miranda stopped her in her tracks.

"Mom, is Dad meeting with that investor everyone's been talking about lately?" Zoey asked.

"Yes, he's quite the big shot over in Greenfield. Your father wouldn't have been called over if it wasn't important. I'm a bit worried about him, though.

Over in Greenfield, he always got the short end of the stick from his peers. If he slips up at this kind of event, he might just get chewed out."

"Don't worry, Mom, it'll be fine. If this investor is really from high society, I'm sure he'll be understanding."

Miranda sighed and patted her on the shoulder.
