The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 1278:

As her performance ended, Laney gracefully approached Merrick’s mother and presented her with a beautiful pearl as a gift. Merrick’s mother smiled brightly, showering Laney with praise.

Merrick said to his friends, “She’s my best friend.”

Beyond the water and glass, Laney’s gaze drifted past the audience to the VIP section, where her eyes landed on Cliff. It had been some time since their last encounter, and he appeared more calm and mature, his piercing gaze fixed on her, as though trying to capture every detail.

Laney then surfaced from the water.

Merrick was quick to hand her a towel.

“Outstanding job,” he whispered, offering a thumbs-up.

“It exceeded my expectations by far.”

Laney smiled, catching her breath. The performance, short as it was, had put her under great pressure due to the water, and she felt exhausted. She made her way to the dressing room without delay.
