Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Adrian, sensing the tension in the air, obediently nodded and scampered upstairs.

Now, the living room was left with just the Montgomery family-Conrad, his son Lysander, and Lysander's wife, Mila. None of them looked particularly pleased.

Conrad surveyed his son and daughter-in-law with a stern expression. "I've told you before," he said in a low voice, "don't bring your marital issues here. In this house, especially in front of your mother, you better put on a show of being the perfect couple. Understand?"

Lysander let out a soft, dismissive click of his tongue, agreeing verbally but showing little respect for his father on his face.

Mila remained silent, watching the scene unfold with a cool detachment.

She wasn't deeply involved in the affairs of Montgomery Holdings, but over time, she had gathered that Conrad and Lysander had been at odds within the company due to their differing visions. Their ability to appear civil in the family home was solely out of respect for Lysander's mother.

Conrad cast a brief, indifferent glance at Mila and then turned to Lysander. "Come with me to the study."

As Conrad and Lysander headed upstairs, Mila stayed behind, well aware they were going to discuss company matters-topics she was never involved in.
