My Cold Ex-Wife Refused to Move On novel Chapter 128

Chapter 128 Small Gift

Seeing Mandy upset, Louis quickly said, “Sir always cared about you. When he was still here, he never allowed you to be this sad.”

The real culprits were the Harrison family.

Ever since the incident with Paul, Louis had made it his mission to find the one responsible. He just hadn’t expected that so many years would pass, and Wendy would grow up in the meantime.

“You’ve gotten old too,” Mandy said as she stood in the quiet room. “Your kids said they want you to move in and retire with them. What do you think?”

Louis shook his head. “Back when I followed you and Sir to build this from the ground up, I said I’d dedicate my life to the Quinn family. I’m not dead yet, and there are still things I can do. Even if Ms. Quinn and her husband are steady with their work, there’s still something they lack.”

Mandy glanced at Louis and understood what he meant.

Softness… No matter how ruthless Wendy could seem, she still wasn’t as hard–hearted as Mandy once was.

“They’re children raised in love. They don’t really understand what it means to be ruthless, or that ruthlessness is often what secures power. But maybe that’s a good thing–less of those kinds of acts means more blessings in the long run.”

After drying their hands, the two of them left the room. Mandy said, “I’m just waiting for the day they have a baby. While I’m still healthy, I can help take care of the child.”

At the mention of this, Wendy and Chase exchanged a glance. In the end, it was Chase who spoke up.

“Mandy, we’re not in a rush. Wendy and I are still young, and we’re both so busy with work that we re don’t have time to think about having a baby.”

“Weren’t we busy back then too?” Mandy cast a glance at Wendy–she didn’t even need to ask to know it was her daughter who didn’t want children.

When Quinn Group was just being founded, Mandy had already been pregnant with Wendy, but she still gave birth. Later, as Quinn Group found its footing, many outside corporations eyed them hungrily. Back then, the tactics used were downright dirty, but even so, Mandy still had Stella. Being busy with work had always just been an excuse not to have children.

“You can do whatever you want, but at the end of the day, you still need to have a child.”

“Got it.”

Surprisingly, Wendy didn’t argue with her, which made for a rare peaceful evening. Everyone was in good spirits. After dinner, Wendy took Chase upstairs to pay respects to her father’s memorial.

“Dad, it used to be just me coming here. I chose to protect the one I love the same way Mom did… but…” She turned her head to look at Chase. “My love is brave. He stands by my side and faces everything with me.”

Chase knelt in front of Paul’s memorial. “Paul, I’ll protect Wendy, and I’ll find the one who tore this family apart. You can rest easy.”

Wendy took hers without a second thought. When she saw Chase still hesitating, she reached over, snatched the one from her mother, and stuffed it into his hands. “Mom gave it to you, so take it.”
