Missing Mrs. Lowry: The Billionaire’s Wakeup Call

Chapter 22

Megan grunted an affirmative, “I know! It was Sullivan who invited him.”

Lucia was taken aback, “That mistress is Cressida? Megan, how come these two just can’t seem to disappear? If it hadn’t been for that accident back then, you would’ve been off studying abroad with Paxton by now instead of waiting on Sullivan hand and foot!”

Lucia took a drag of her cigarette to calm her nerves.

Finally, she spat out her disdain, “Sullivan thinks he’s the cat’s pajamas, but damn, the cost of one night’s sleep is just too steep!”

She expected Megan to back down. But Megan simply said calmly, “Paxton called me. He said he hopes I can learn from him in the next four years here at home.”

Lucia was thrilled, snuffing out her cigarette. “If you miss this chance, Megan, I’ll never forgive you.”

Megan smiled slightly. “I know”

Feeling somewhat relieved, Megan tidied up the dishes and, after taking a shower, returned to bed.

Lucia was already asleep.

Megan lay down beside her, unable to resist resting her head on Lucia’s shoulder. She missed Lucia so much, with her around, everything seemed manageable.
