Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband? novel Chapter 552

Bamboo Grove, Lillian’s Manor.

As dusk fell and the last rays of sunlight melted into a sea of scarlet, Mila Sutherland sat by the downstairs window, quietly listening to Jade Sutherland’s voice on the phone. She gazed out at the endless horizon, answering only now and then.

“I feel the same way. We’ll need to discuss the timing a bit more before I can confirm anything. As for the division of assets, I’ll have to trouble you, Jade. However you think is best, I’ll go along with it.”

“Alright.”

“I understand.”

“Don’t worry. I trust him.”

Just as she was speaking, the doorbell rang. Mila guessed it was Adrian Montgomery returning home with Forrest Whitmore. She stood up, walked to the door, and unlocked it.

“Let’s leave it there for now, Jade. I’ll confirm as soon as I can.”

She hung up.

The door swung open and Adrian burst inside, nearly leaping into her arms.

“You’re back.”

Mila hugged her son, then glanced up with a smile at Forrest, who followed behind. Turning her attention back to Adrian, she asked, “Did you have fun with Mr. Whitmore today?”

“Hmph! Not at all!”

Adrian wasted no time lodging a complaint. “He lied to me!”

Mila raised her eyebrows at Forrest. He pushed up his glasses and gave a helpless sort of smile. “We had a little situation come up, so I had to take him by the Federal Security Bureau. I couldn’t show him the CN source code like I promised… There was a bit of a hiccup.”

“I told you I’d take you to see it next time, didn’t I? Why are you still sulking? You’ve been grumpy the whole way home, you little rascal.” Forrest ruffled Adrian’s hair, but Adrian slapped his hand away.

“Who cares? I don’t want to see it anymore!”

Adrian shot Forrest a glare, then slammed the door shut behind him, leaving the two adults blinking in surprise.

Mila managed to calm Adrian down, and when she opened the door again, she found Forrest waiting outside, still smiling warmly. “Has the little rascal forgiven me yet?”

“You’re the rascal! Your whole family are rascals!”

Adrian popped out from behind his mother.

Just as another argument was about to erupt, Mila sighed and raised her voice, “Enough! Both of you, quiet!”
