Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 55

Starry was stunned for a moment. Then, she felt kind of moved.

Since divorcing Filip, she had been having dreams about those five years.

She didn't know why she had stubbornly thought that Filip was the person. But now that she thought about it, everything was like a dream, nothing was true, and of course, none of it was left.

But her five years at the Pearson residence were real, Frances was really picky about her, but she didn't make things difficult for Starry.

The thing between her and Filip was a deal. Neither of them was to be blamed.

So, after the thing was exposed, Starry's first thought was not Filip, but Frances.

Frances was picky, but she treated Starry as her granddaughter-in-law.

Seeing Frances just now, Starry decided to confess and apologized. She was very frank and sincere.

She sat there respectfully, ready to be scolded.

Frances did scold her, not because she lied to her, but because she divorced Filip.

Starry looked at Frances, who was eating pastries on the sofa opposite. "It was just a big dream."

This was not only for Frances, but also for herself.

Frances was eating pastries. When she heard Starry's words, she lost her appetite.

Martha had been restraining herself from laughing. But when she heard Starry's words, the smile on her face faded a lot.

Seeing Frances stop talking, Martha hurriedly handed her the tea.

Frances took a sip of tea. "Young girl, you are sober! Do you have to be so sober at such a young age? Even if Filip wanted to divorce, I'll help you, what are you worried about?"

Frances was an old-school person who thought that getting married was a lifelong thing.

To this day, she still can't accept that Starry divorced Filip.

After having Starry as her granddaughter-in-law for five years, Frances couldn't accept any other girls now.

She was picky, and she cared about beauty. Young ladies from rich families that Martha told her these days were either not as good-looking as Starry, or not as sophisticated.

Anyway, she didn't like any of them. Looking back at Starry, apart from her family background, she was perfect.

Starry knew Frances had misunderstood. She didn't want to mention the past, but she didn't want to be misunderstood either. "Lady Frances, Filip and I had no feelings for either other."

Frances had just eaten the rest of the pastries. Hearing that, she frowned and heard a different meaning. "You mean you don't like Filip?"

Starry lowered her eyebrows, and blinked, her eyelashes fluttering a little. "There are some misunderstandings."

Frances didn't believe that. She had seen how Starry treated Filip in those five years.

Even she felt sorry for Starry.

Frances snorted coldly, "Then you should divorce him."

Starry didn't answer.

Frances was furious this time, but she didn't say anything more. "Let's go, Martha."

Starry put the pastries in the box from inside the kitchen, "Aunt Martha, take some desserts."

Martha didn't dare to pick up. She glanced at Frances.
