The Millionaire And His Billionaire Ex-Wife

Chapter 297

Patric remained silent for a moment, then let out a deep sigh of relief. “It’s easier said than done. Dad is stubborn, and changing his mind is like trying to move a mountain.”

“Are you afraid of Patric challenging you?”

Grace patted his shoulder reassuringly. “Don’t worry, I’ll help you plead your case. Besides, he may be able to control your marriage registration, but he can’t control who you fall in love with. In the future, you can do as you please. Just don’t go overboard and keep it public.”

Patric pondered over her words and realized they made sense.

The two of them continued walking and chatting, and before they knew it, they were approaching the gate.

It’s been almost a month since Peter’s cheating incident. The internet has long forgotten about it. It’s time for me to move back to my own apartment.”

Patric tightly clenched her wrist and sn atched the suitcase from her hand. “I don’t agree!”

“Mr. Patric! You have no right to stop me from leaving! You and Miss Grammer have divorced, so our agreement is void!”

Abigail was also getting a bit annoyed. It was the first time she spoke so defiantly in front of Patric.

Patric pursed his lips and his face turned cold.

Abigail didn’t argue further. “She’s right. Our lives are so different. I’m not worthy of you at all. I was just a rented fake partner. I shouldn’t have been sincere, let alone hold you back… I…

Before she could finish her sentence, Patric stepped forward and forcefully pulled her closer, pressing his lips against hers, cutting off all her apologies.

An ambiguous atmosphere enveloped them.
