Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Chapter 100

When Mila's phone rang, Adrian was in her bedroom, so he naturally overheard the entire conversation.

Adrian was playing a video game and shook his head, saying, "Yeah, she said I was supposed to have dinner with my great-aunt. I don't even remember her, probably one of Mom's relatives."

"Great-aunt?" Giselle mused, puzzled.

One of Giselle's goals for her trip back was to ensure Mila was left with nothing. She had enlisted Ryan's help long ago to dig into Mila's background. What they found was an ordinary family, and she thought she knew all the close relatives. A great-aunt was news to her. But now wasn't the time to dwell on it.

"Adrian, if your mom's calling you, it seems she's forgiven you for making her faint. If you go back now, maybe your dad won't be so hard on you," Giselle suggested, testing the waters.

Adrian shook his head quickly. "No way. My dad is mad because I didn't listen to him. Whether mom forgave me or not doesn't change that. I can't go home yet."
