Always There: Win My Ex-wife Back

Chapter 53: A Marriage of Mutual Interest 

Michelle's voice sounded as calm as if she were talking about something that happened to someone else instead of her.

As they heard this, people at the table felt angry and odd.

"Chelle, are you saying that Gerard married you on purpose?"

Claire wanted to confirm if she heard it right.If so, Michelle was used and then discarded.She nodded.

"I'm not the Greenwoods' favorite person.In the face of a great suitor such as Gerard, they wouldn't choose me over Jolie and Paula to marry him.”

"So Gerard married you because you were the most convenient person to his goal.Since he was aware that you weren't important to the Greenwoods, once he realized they were of no use to him, he could divorce you, knowing that they wouldn't do anything to help you, right?"

Elliot summed it up.Before Michelle could answer, David thumped the table angrily.

"Humph! This Roberts' brat! Does he think that my granddaughter is someone who he can marry and divorce without any respect? He then underestimated the Mills family!"

Although it had just been a few minutes since David accepted Michelle as his granddaughter, he didn't hesitate to back her up.

Seeing the old man's reaction, everyone in the room laughed, relieved that he finally let go of the past.

"Grandpa, calm down.There's no need to be angry.I bet this was a marriage of mutual interest.Chelle must have had her reasons for marrying Gerard too.Otherwise, she wouldn't have allowed herself to be used, would she?"

A sudden voice cut into the room.

As everyone turned, they saw a handsome young man in a gray suit.He walked in with a smile, which formed two cute dimples, one on each side of his face, just like Michelle's.

His tanned skin particularly glowed under the lights, making him even more attractive to look at.

"Moore!"

Michelle had remained close to her three cousins since childhood and had never lost contact with them, especially the eldest one. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Despite the constant smile on his face, Moore Mills was more sensitive than his two other brothers.He could always tell what was on Michelle's mind.

Stretching out his arms, he gave her a warm hug.

Then he pinched her nose affectionately and said in a soft tone, "Little girl, you've grown even more beautiful in these past few months we haven't seen each other."

"I'll always be the most beautiful girl in your eyes!"

In front of Moore, Michelle never shied away from acting like a naughty, spoiled little girl.

"And a big mouth too from what I can see!"

As Michelle pulled him, Moore sat at the table and greeted the elders, "Hello, Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, and Dad.Why didn't you call me and my brothers and tell us Michelle was coming for dinner?"

"As if it's easy to get you on the phone.I can't believe you're even here! Every time I call, you're busy.If one day I want to see you, what should I do? Make an appointment with your secretary?"

Claire complained as her eyes remained fixed on Moore.

Even though her three sons weren't teenagers anymore, they weren't considerate towards their parents' wishes.

Elliot and Claire were getting old and all they wanted at that moment was to have grandchildren.

However, the three men kept showing up with new love affairs in the news every day instead of bringing actual daughters-in-law home to meet them.
