The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 1247:

“How can any decent man fall for someone in one day?” Cliff countered, his tone clipped.

Gerry chimed in, grinning.

“Cliff, why are you so worked up? Did you eat too much spicy food and overheat?”

Cliff didn’t even realize he was losing his temper. Wasn’t this just his usual way of speaking?

After a brief silence, Cliff’s anger subsided. In a cold tone, he said, “Laney just graduated. I’m worried she might get taken advantage of.”

Gerry found Cliff’s behavior increasingly irritating. When Laney was with Cliff, he had kept his distance, acting indifferent and proud with a fiancée and an engagement on the horizon. But now, Cliff seemed to want to meddle in Laney’s life. Did he honestly think he still had a say in her choices?

Gerry retorted, “Come on. Laney is twenty-three. She’s been out of college for almost a year. She hasn’t even been in a proper relationship yet, and Merrick is a good guy. He’s charming and successful, and our parents approve of him. I think he’s exactly the kind of man Laney deserves.”

Cliff crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes.
