She Quit Her Family and Found Herself novel Chapter 275

After all, Hulda had been his daughter-in-law for seven years, and during that time, she had bent over backward trying to become part of their family.

He refused to believe she felt nothing for them anymore. Not to mention, there was still Miles.

"If she says no, tell her Miles misses her and wants to see her," Wade added.

Hulda had always doted on the boy. As his own mother, there was no way she wouldn't cave.

The moment Wade gave the order, Herbert picked up his phone and dialed her number without a second of hesitation.

He told himself he was only doing this for his father's Go academy, strictly business.

But he didn't even notice how his hand was trembling slightly from the sheer anticipation.

Herbert might not have noticed, but Sylvie certainly did.

She pressed her lips into a thin line, a dark flash of resentment passing through her eyes.

The call only rang once before it was abruptly declined.

Even though Herbert had half-expected it, he still stiffened the second the line went dead.

An intense wave of irritation washed over him. He could perfectly picture the cold, unfeeling look on her face as she hung up on him.

He couldn't understand how the woman who used to hang on his every word had suddenly morphed into someone so heartless.

She had used such underhanded tactics to marry him in the first place, yet now she was acting as if she wished they had never met.

"Well? Did she answer?" Wade asked urgently.

Herbert's face darkened as he lowered his phone. "No."
