Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband? novel Chapter 214

A sudden noise from behind made her turn around. There, standing at the doorway with a carefree grin, was a young man clad in nothing but a lightweight denim jacket, seemingly unfazed by the chill in the air.

"Hey there, Cousin!" he called out with a mischievous glint in his eye.

...

In the study.

"Felicity, we're really at our wits' end, which is why we came to you for help," Xavier sighed heavily.

"You know how it is. Lillian and I have been so busy with our careers, jetting back and forth between countries, that we've neglected to keep a close eye on Archie. We thought leaving him with his grandparents would be good for him, but they’ve spoiled him to no end. Now he's completely out of control, and I can't even bring myself to say what he's done..."

He trailed off, unable to continue. Felicity exchanged a worried glance with Conrad. "What happened exactly?"

"Let me explain," Gina interjected with a sigh, taking over the conversation.

"Felicity, you know our family has a legacy in the arts, always producing a couple of geniuses each generation. Naturally, we had high hopes for Archie."

"Both his grandparents are renowned in their fields, so we thought being with them would nurture his talent. And he does have talent, no doubt about it."

"But we never expected this! Last year, he scored top marks for the Royal Metropolitan Academy of Arts, but decided to enroll at Northridge Institute of Technology for mechanical engineering instead. It's baffling!"

Felicity nodded, remembering how the family was overseas when Archie made his college decision, thinking it was a colossal joke at the time. But that was last year.

Before she could ask for more, Gina continued with a grimace.

"We eventually accepted that he can study whatever he wants. After all, artistic talent isn’t confined to a single university."
