Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Chapter 552

Bamboo Grove, Lillian's Manor.

As dusk fell and the last rays of sunlight melted into a sea of scarlet, Mila Sutherland sat by the downstairs window, quietly listening to Jade Sutherland's voice on the phone. She gazed out at the endless horizon, answering only now and then.

"I feel the same way. We'll need to discuss the timing a bit more before I can confirm anything. As for the division of assets, I'll have to trouble you, Jade. However you think is best, I'll go along with it."

"Alright."

"I understand."

"Don't worry. I trust him."

Just as she was speaking, the doorbell rang. Mila guessed it was Adrian Montgomery returning home with Forrest Whitmore. She stood up, walked to the door, and unlocked it.

"Let's leave it there for now, Jade. I'll confirm as soon as I can."

She hung up.

The door swung open and Adrian burst inside, nearly leaping into her arms.

"You're back."

Mila hugged her son, then glanced up with a smile at Forrest, who followed behind. Turning her attention back to Adrian, she asked, "Did you have fun with Mr. Whitmore today?"
