Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Chapter 2013

"Doesn't it bother her?"

Of course, it bothers her, but what she wants more is to ensure Mrs. Davis's future.

Knowing that Shirley was caught in a storm recently, Abner quietly prepared meals and left without making much noise, trying his best not to disturb her.

It wasn't until the court began pursuing Mr. Davis's debts that Shirley became even busier, hardly having a moment to rest.

Two days later, Mrs. Davis came over, hesitation written all over her face. Shirley almost instantly guessed; she had sold the house.

They had bought the house at a good price, and now its value had increased significantly. Selling it now, along with some family heirlooms, they were only $500,000 short.

But selling the house at this critical moment meant that buying it back anytime soon wasn't an option.

Shirley was at a loss for words for a moment. Mrs. Davis held traditional values deep down, believing in sticking by her husband through thick and thin.

Such loyalty was rare, but most men, faced with their wives drowning in debt, would choose divorce. Men were always more pragmatic; only women couldn't bring themselves to be so heartless. "Shirley, if we don't come up with that $500,000, your dad might end up in jail. I just can't bear the thought," Mrs. Davis said.

Shirley just tugged at her lips, sitting quietly on the couch.

Abner was still at school at this time.

Mrs. Davis probably knew Shirley was upset, too scared to speak loudly.
