THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 1119

"What?" Elsa asked.

"When I joked that my child would be a better match for yours, your boyfriend's face darkened completely!" Gertrude explained. "If he was just trying to push for marriage, who cares who the match is with? Why did it have to be Caitlin? It's obvious he looks down on my family's status compared to Caitlin's!"

Gertrude had seen it clear as day. The look on Xander's face at that moment… if looks could kill, she would have been dead. It proved that from the very beginning, his target was Caitlin's family connections.

"No, no, that's not it," Elsa said, shaking her head. "Gertrude, you have to believe me. Xander is absolutely not the kind of person you're imagining! He wasn't looking down on you. That's just his personality. He didn't know how to respond, so he dropped the topic. Please, don't overthink it. He definitely doesn't have a social-climbing bone in his body!"

Gertrude looked at Elsa. "Then do you honestly believe that if Caitlin didn't come from such a powerful family, your boyfriend would have ever brought up that topic?"

"And you need to trust me for once, Gertrude. It wouldn't matter who Caitlin was; my boyfriend would have still made that joke about an arranged match because his only intention was to push for our own marriage."

Gertrude shook her head, a hint of resignation in her voice. "Elsa, you've always seemed so level-headed. How did falling in love turn you into this… this person who's completely blinded?"

Was it true what they said? That you can't see the picture when you're in the frame?

Elsa's eyes were firm. "Because I know my boyfriend! Gertrude, if you don't believe me, let's call Caitlin and ask her. I'm sure she feels the same way I do."
