Too Late, Mr. Billionaire: You Can't Afford Me by Thedora Birnir

Chapter 130 Her Feelings

For Denver

Denver could hardly believe his ears.

Hadley was not fit to stand by his side?

With a smirk, he retorted, “That’s just ridiculous…”

“What did you say?” Roderick couldn’t hold back any longer. “Denver, is that the way you speak to your mother?”

“Dad.”

Confusion marred Denver’s handsome features.

“Did you hear what Mom just said? Can you believe that? We’re in the 21st century!”

“You…”

Wilma found herself at a loss for words.

She shared a look with her husband.

“Denver.” Wilma moderated her voice, noticing her son’s irritation. “You were educated abroad and might see things differently, but remember, this is Srixby!”

“Mom.” Denver’s stance remained firm. “My education has nothing to do with this.”

Denver was not caught off guard.

He had been bracing for his parents‘ resistance.

Speaking with intentional clarity, he made his point.

“What does it matter if Hadley has been divorced?”

Wilma and Roderick were left speechless by his words.

At the social event they just returned from, they had caught wind of gossip that their son was involved with Eric’s former wife.

Now hearing their son, they were taken aback to discover the rumors were true.

They were even more taken aback by Denver’s vehement defense of Hadley.

Temporarily at a loss for words, they could not respond.

Denver, seeing his parents lost for words, chose not to press further. They needed time to digest everything. He gently lifted the jewelry box from the table.

With a sigh of distress, Wilma watched her son exit the room before closing her eyes and massaging her
