Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire
Chapter 90
Grace had always been one to keep up appearances, and seeing Selena troubled by all the gossip really got under her skin. She was worried sick, just like Selena.
Selena felt a twinge of sadness, too. Because of that no-good Everett, her grandma had to put up with the town's wagging tongues. Being fiercely protective, Grace must've been driven up the wall countless times. It was like a punishment for Selena's blind love. "Grandma, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault." Her voice was thick with emotion.
Grace's face tightened as if she'd just put two and two together. She clutched Selena's hand and asked anxiously, "So, your husband still can't make it? Didn't he promise me?"
"He..." Selena hesitated, unable to bring herself to tell her grandmother the truth. At that moment, she was ready to confront Everett. Breaking promises to her was one thing, but dragging her grandma into it was just too much.
It was cruel to give someone false hope!
Grace's voice was barely a whisper, "This is a disaster. You and your husband haven't even had your wedding yet, right? Since he was finally coming home with you, I thought we could have a little gathering out here in the country. Introduce him to friends and family, and shut up those who look down on you."
Seeing Selena's reaction, Grace knew what was up. She wobbled, and Selena rushed to steady her. "Grandma, are you okay?"
This threw Selena for a loop. She hadn't seen it coming. She gulped a few times before asking, her voice shaky, "Grandma, you were only mulling over hosting a reception, right?"
Grace covered her face, her voice trembling as she admitted, "The reception is set for tomorrow night. Invitations have been sent out. The whole village knows you're bringing home a wealthy husband..."
