How to Train Your Ex-Billionaire novel Chapter 126

Otherwise, why would Winifred reject a son as outstanding as hers?

"No!" Yvan said forcefully. "I did nothing to wrong her."

Monica was worried. She could see that Yvan was genuinely in love with Winifred.

Feelings from seven years ago, now tangled up once more.

She had never seen her son so devoted to a woman.

She had to help him.

Monica decided to call Winifred herself and invite her to the party.

When Winifred answered and heard Monica's invitation, she politely declined. "I'm sorry, I'm busy that day. I don't think I'll be able to make it to your party."

Now that she knew about Monica's relationship with Yvan, she couldn't allow herself to get too close to them.

Besides, Yvan would definitely be there, and seeing him would just be awkward.

Winifred's grip on her phone tightened. "Mrs. Brown, I'm sorry. I never meant to hide it from you."

"I'm not blaming you. That's between you and Yvan," Monica assured her. "To be honest, Winifred, I'm very happy that Yvan has someone he likes, especially since I'm so fond of you. I know you started dating in college. Young love is the purest kind, untainted by material concerns, and you were each other's first. I truly hope you and Yvan can get back together."

Winifred hadn't expected this reaction. She had worried that Monica would be displeased, look down on her, or at least distance herself after learning the truth. She never imagined she would be so welcoming.

Mrs. Brown was such a kind person.

It was a shame that she and Yvan…
