Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband? novel Chapter 98

A ghost trying to scam you is best ignored.

...

Driving to the office, Mila decided to treat her team to lunch as a farewell gesture.

That evening, after gathering the last of her belongings from the company, Mila stood before the towering skyscrapers, gazing out for a moment.

She had devoted eleven years to mastering computer science, even pursuing a PhD for the sake of her then-partner, Lysander. Now, as she let it all go, she felt surprisingly at peace.

After all, her life brimmed with endless possibilities.

With a smile on her face, she turned decisively, ready to embrace new horizons.

Jade had known about Mila's resignation and had booked a lavish dinner at a hotel to celebrate the new chapter in her life.

...

The dinner table was set for just the two of them—Mila and her great-aunt Jade—allowing for free-flowing conversation.

They chatted about future plans before Jade shifted the focus to Adrian. "When are you going to bring my great-grandnephew over for a visit? It's been seven years, and I haven't even had the chance to hold him. He's growing up so fast, and soon it'll be hard to form a bond."

Jade, unmarried and childless, cherished Mila as her own daughter, so naturally, she held Mila's son dear to her heart.

In the past, strained relations meant she could hold back her longing. But now that they had reconciled, she was eager to embrace her great-grandnephew.

Mila, however, found herself in a bind.

Just yesterday, she had witnessed Adrian's close interaction with Giselle, like mother and son. In recent years, he had grown distant from Mila, often impatient and unlistening.

Even if she wanted to introduce him to Jade, convincing him to come was an uncertain task.
