Unveiling the Genius Behind the Divorcee novel Chapter 227

Chapter 227 Strangers Once More

“Come on, it’s time to eat.”

Haleigh came out of the kitchen, eagerly looking towards the living room, and then froze. “Oh… Ms. Wescott, why is it just you? Where’s Gavyn?”

Jacquelyn smiled gently, “He has some matters to attend to, so he went upstairs first.”

Haleigh raised her eyebrows, “This kid, the guests are still here, and he just went upstairs by himself, not showing any gentlemanly manners at all!”

“Please don’t hesitate, Mrs. Delacruz.”

Jacquelyn understandingly said, “It’s alright. After all, this is our first meeting, so it’s normal for him to be a bit slow to warm up. We’ll get to know each other gradually.

I just happen to have something to attend to as well, Mrs. Delacruz. I’ll come by another day to try your cooking.”

Jacquelyn picked up her bag and got up.

Haleigh felt extremely guilty and said, “I’m so sorry, he’s just like this, slow to warm up. Please come again next time, and I’ll make you something delicious!”

After sending Jacquelyn away, Haleigh’s mouth still wore a wide grin, feeling completely satisfied with Jacquelyn.

Coming from a good family background, well-educated, highly cultured, attractive and gentle – only someone with these qualities would be worthy of Haleigh’s son!

In the future, she will definitely be a good wife.

As a mother, she was determined to play matchmaker and ensure that Gavyn would marry her daughter and bring her home!

Gavyn returned to his study, but the feeling of annoyance just wouldn’t go away. He had no interest in carefully examining the reports on the table.

Haleigh was utterly unqualified to be a wealthy wife, lacking both the appropriate education and elegant conversation skills.

The fact that she was his mother, and all her various attempts at “doing what’s best for him,” never failed to give Gavyn a headache.

I found a friend’s daughter whom I had met a few times at parties, and enthusiastically played matchmaker. I must have had too much time on my hands.

Gavyn rubbed his forehead in frustration, feeling increasingly agitated. Suddenly, the phone rang with an urgent tone.

It was Laila.

Gavyn took just a glance and hung up with a cold expression.

He once had immense trust in this woman, but now he was equally fed up with her. At this point, he didn’t want to hear Laila’s voice at all.

Laila’s call was hung up on the other end, but she didn’t feel discouraged.

Perhaps they’re just busy?

She carefully typed a text message on her phone to Gavyn: [Gavyn, my injury is almost healed. When can I start working again?]

Gavyn stared at the message popping up on his phone again, his handsome eyebrows furrowed tightly.

He wrote: [Please handle it.]

Gavyn quickly forwarded the message to Lloyd, who was busy investigating Divine Doctor. Upon seeing it, Lloyd couldn’t help but express his disdain towards Laila.

He replied: [Mr. Delacruz, rest assured, I will handle it.] They’ve done so many disgusting things and still want to stay by their boss’s side. What a beautiful dream they have!

After sending the message, Laila was filled with joy and excitement, yet she also felt a bit of uneasiness due to being close to home. She paced back and forth, clutching her phone tightly.

Helen once taught her that one must be in a favored position to gain an advantage.

Even if a man appears unshakable in his words, if you constantly linger around him, showcasing your gentle, virtuous, and enchanting beauty, he will undoubtedly be moved!

The position of a secretary requires close personal interaction.

She had already planned her outfit for her first day at work. It was a white blouse and a hip-hugging skirt, the epitome of a modern urban woman. Alluring and full of charm, she couldn’t help but sway in front of Gavyn, catching his attention.

Just thinking about it, Laila felt a warmth in her lower abdomen.

Buzz!

Just as I was fully immersed in the wonderful daydream of my new job, the phone rang.

It must be Gavyn who saw it!

“Gavyn…”

Laila couldn’t wait to pick up the phone, and as soon as she did, she let out a sweet, delicate call. Her voice was so tender and charming, as if she was using all her skills to captivate the listener.

On the other end of the phone, Lloyd was rendered speechless.

Don’t use this trick to ruin others.
