No Divorce? The Billionaire's Love Chase! novel Chapter 579

The natural joy in her eyes twisted York's heart.

York stepped toward Claudia.

Just as he was about to speak, someone from outside called her name. "Dr. Watkins, Director Harvest wants to see you in his office."

Claudia answered the call and quickly took the tote bag from York. She handed him the items she had prepared that morning and scurried out the door, not even waiting for him to finish what he was saying.

After Claudia left, York remained alone in the break room, silent for a long time.

Reborn into this life, it seemed like everyone had changed. And yet, it also felt as if nothing had changed at all, and he was the only one who was different.

A few days later, in the afternoon, at Ferguson Mansion.

Old Mr. Ferguson and York's parents sat in the living room with grave expressions.

Butler Palmer reported his findings to the patriarch. "Ann James and her son have not left Caledon. The young master is on a business trip in Maronia. They have not met."

The patriarch nodded in satisfaction. "As long as York isn't married, we can't let our guard down."

Sewell added, "You're right, Dad. The heir to the Ferguson family absolutely cannot marry a woman like that Ann James!"

Wendy, sitting beside Sewell, felt a flicker of doubt. Her son was refusing to get married or even engaged. Could the reason not be Ann after all?

The patriarch instructed Wendy, "Make arrangements. When York returns from his trip, invite Mrs. Windsor and Miss Windsor over as guests. From now on, you should spend more time with them."

Old Mr. Ferguson's intention was clear. Wendy nodded. "I'll do my best."

Her compliance didn't mean she would actually follow the patriarch's orders. Marcia Windsor was young but shrewd, with ambitions that rivaled any man's. A woman like that was suited for a career, not for a marriage. Besides, her son had been unusually proactive with Claudia lately. How could she, as a mother, not know what was going on?

Marcia spoke gracefully, but her expression was clearly strained. York knew she would be at the Ferguson Mansion, yet he went directly to the Watkins's home. His attitude toward her was crystal clear. It seemed she couldn't hold out much hope for a marriage alliance between their families or an engagement to York.

After the Windsors left, Old Mr. Ferguson angrily smashed a teacup. "The successor to the Ferguson Group, fawning over the daughter of a bankrupt family. It's disgraceful!"

Sewell personally called York and ordered him to come back.

At that same moment, York received his father's call and left the Watkins's house. After getting into the car, Mark couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Ferguson, didn't you say you were going to wait for Miss Watkins to get off work before leaving?"

York tightened his grip on a small jewelry box. "Back to Ferguson Mansion."

Mark quickly told the driver to go.

Not long after York left, Claudia returned from work.

Seeing the various expensive nutritional supplements arranged in the living room, she couldn't help but ask, "Dad, Mom, did we have guests today?"
