Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 1999

Chapter 1999

She looked at the table and the empty plates laid on it, then she remarked," Isabel sure eats a lot.”

She turned to Roland. "Roland, are you full?” "I'm full." After a moment of silence, he asked, "Mom, did you make any more cookies?"

Martha made a face and said, "Hold on, I’ll make something for you."

With that, she went into the kitchen.

After a while, she emerged with a bowl of noodles.

Roland took his time with the noodles.

His mother sat across from him and looked at him tenderly. "Roland, why did she leave in such a hurry?" "She’s only here for supper."

Martha regarded him silently.

She gave him a sideways glance and seemed slightly upset. She questioned him, ‘Why didn't you ask her to stay for the night?" "There’s no need for that. She lives nearby."

Martha sighed. "Roland, don't you get what I’m trying to say here?" "I do." Roland continued after a brief silence, "I don't think I’m worthy enough to become her partner right now."

Martha frowned. "How so? We may have fallen on some hard times, but you're essentially the president of Carter Corporation now, which makes you a perfect match for Isabel who is a celebrity."

Not to discredit Isabel, but she thought with Roland’s current status, he could easily date any celebrity he wished.

Roland entered a pensive silence for a moment before telling her, "It's getting late, you should get some sleep.

Martha sighed and said earnestly, "Roland, Isabel is a good girl. I don’t want you to miss out on her."

Roland looked at her, his eyes poised with calmness. "Don't worry, that’s not going to happen."

After the fulfilling meal, Isabel returned to her place. She took a hot bath before settling in for the night.
