Chapter 219

“I guess I’ll skip this time. You guys go ahead and enjoy.”

Mary was clearly not pleased. “It seems like you all don’t care about me anymore. Just because I’m getting older, everyone thinks they can push me around.”

Leanne couldn’t help but laughed. “How am I pushing you around? Don’t be so stubborn.”

“You said you were working late yesterday, and today, when you’re not, you still won’t come over. It feels like you’re just brushing me off.”

Leanne had no choice but to lay it all out. “Curtis and I are getting a divorce. It’s not right for me to come back now.”

“What does your divorce have to do with me?” Mary’s logic was crystal clear. “So what if you’re divorced? This isn’t your in-laws’ house anymore; it’s your home. What’s wrong with coming home for a meal?”

Mary was quick with her words, and Leanne found herself speechless.

“Fine, how about I take you out tomorrow, would that be okay?”

“I don’t want to go out with you.” Mary’s voice turned sullen. “You couldn’t even come to visit me during the holidays. It’s like you’ve forgotten about me.”

Leanne scratched her brow in frustration.
