Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 989

When I saw Michelle Manson, I was impressed with her persistence despite myself.

I moaned quietly, “Oh, she looks like she works here!"

She noticed me as soon as I walked out and quickly approached me.

Coincidentally, my phone rang with a call from Laurie, who wanted to tell me that Michelle was still downstairs.

I could only helplessly reply, "You're a little late with that information."

She joked, "Well, good luck to you then! Or should I come back and rescue you?"

I smiled faintly. "There’s no need for that. I need to face her at some point."

Michelle was standing next to me as I said that.

I ended the call and looked at her unfriendly, asking, "Just get straight to the point. Don't beat around the bush. You’re putting pressure on me. Speak! What is it?"

Michelle grinned shamelessly and said, "Actually, it’s nothing urgent. I just wanted to invite you for a meal and a chat."

"If it’s nothing urgent, let's skip the meal. I'm busy every day and barely spend time at home. On the rare occasions when I do have free time, I prioritize spending it with my family. You know I have a daughter. I don't have the luxury of staying out," I said in a down-to-earth manner.

She had joked about me being a woman with a child during a gossip session at the class reunion, but she seemed to have forgotten those nonsensical remarks. She was bothering me again as if nothing had happened. I wasn’t surprised that no one liked her. She was shameless.

I continued, "Anyway, I don't think we have anything to discuss, Michelle. You come here every day blocking my door like it's your workplace, and it's annoying! If you have something to say, just say it. Otherwise, don't interfere with me!"
