The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 105

At the Haynes’s house.

Roxanne called Bruce more than ten times, but no one answered.

Ingrid watched anxiously from the side and said, “How is it? Is the call connected?”

Roxanne said dejectedly, “No. Bruce has been refusing to answer

my calls.”

Upon hearing that, Ingrid looked even more anxious. She said, “Oh no, this is going to be troublesome.

“Listen to me. Hurry up and go to his office to look for him.”

“Mom, I don’t want to go!” Roxanne said.

Ingrid looked displeased. “You have to go even if you don’t want to!” she said. “If you don’t want to go alone, I’ll go with you!

“Let’s go. Hurry up and change your clothes.”

Roxanne pounded the sofa impatiently. “Mom, can you not be like this?” she said. “You’re giving me a lot of pressure!

I’m annoyed. Do you know that?”

“I’m doing this because I’m worried about you,” Ingrid said. “If your marriage with Mr. Everett falls through, think about how our family will live in the future. How will others see you and the Haynes family?”

Upon hearing that, Roxanne leaned back and lay on the sofa.

She was on the verge of a breakdown and felt helpless.

Bruce had already ignored her. She did not know what else she could do.

Even more so, she did not know how to win his heart back.

“Get up quickly.” Ingrid said. “Why did I give birth to such a useless daughter like you?”

“Mom, can you leave me alone for a while?” Roxanne said. “I’ve got intense mental stress now!”

“No, I can’t, Ingrid said. “It’s a critical situation right now, and you still don’t have a sense of crisis!” Ingrid stepped forward and grabbed her daughter’s arm, trying to pull her up.

Roxanne pounded her head hard. She glared at Ingrid with teary eyes and said, “Mom, can you stop forcing me?

“If you force me again, I’ll die in front of you! I’m serious this time around!”

Upon hearing that, Ingrid was so frightened that she felt a tightness in her chest. She did not dare to nag Roxanne anymore.

Her tone softened. “Alright, alright, alright,” she said. “I won’t force you anymore, okay?”

As she spoke, she could not help but mutter quietly, “Sigh, why am I so unlucky to have such a useless daughter?”

When Shaun heard the two of them arguing, he quickly came down from upstairs. “What are you two arguing about again?”

he asked.

Ingrid rolled her eyes and said, “What else can we argue about?”

As soon as Shaun heard that, he knew that they were arguing about Roxanne’s marriage. He said, “Oh my, marriage is predetermined from one’s past life!
