Belinda eyed the old man with a shrug, unfazed by his indifference. Turning to Fitch, she rubbed her hands together.
"Wow, what a bash this is, huh? I've never seen a shindig this swanky in my life! You really are something, my future son-in-law. Honey, come on over and say hello."
The man behind her was still draped in a coat, but he didn't seem embarrassed in the least. Strutting up to Fitch with all the airs of a patriarch, he said,
"I'm Zoey's dad. We've raised Zoey all these years, and if you want to be with her, you've got to get past us first."
It was as clear as day that they were after Fitch's money.
Fitch's expression was icy, so cold it seemed like he could freeze everyone in their tracks.
Wendy stood nearby, her smile twitched at the corners of her mouth before settling into a fixed gaze on Zoey in the crowd.
"Zoey, maybe you should clear things up with your parents. You and Fitch have nothing to do with each other. They must have gotten the wrong end of the stick."
At those words, Belinda's face fell.
"What do you mean they got it wrong? Zoey told us herself!"
Wendy's eyes were wide with surprise as she looked at Zoey, her face a mask of disbelief—Really?
Zoey stepped forward, emerging from the crowd with her spine ramrod straight.
Behind her, the murmur of onlookers filled the air.

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
