Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon

Chapter 282

Before Mitchell could finish, Adeline slapped him, hard. Her voice was icy as she snapped, "Mitchell, you're drunk!"

A metallic taste flooded Mitchell's mouth as blood trickled from his split lip.

Suzan, standing nearby, clenched her fists so tightly her nails dug into her palms.

Damn Mitchell! Even now, he still can't forget Effie-that wretched woman. Then what does that make me?

"Mom, please—I'm begging you, I really can't live without Effie. If she's gone, I'll die." Mitchell's last shred of pride crumbled as he broke down in tears, sobbing like a child.

Adeline froze. She had never seen her son like this before.

Could Effie really mean this much to him?

"Enough," she said sharply. "Are you a man or not? Crying like this over a woman? Pathetic. Fine, I'll do it."

Mitchell lifted his tear-streaked face toward Adeline.
