Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 439

Madelyn had never thought the famous Kieran would ask to borrow only twenty from her.

Although she found it odd, she still granted Kieran’s request.

After rummaging through her branded handbag, she couldn’t find twenty. There were only bills of a hundred.

She froze as the room went silent for a few seconds.

An awkward smile surfaced on Madelyn’s countenance as Kieran gazed at her. “Please wait for a moment, Mr. Kieran.”

Hastily, she left to meet with the butler and asked him for a twenty bill before handing it to Kieran.

Kieran kept it in his pocket and said politely, “Thank you.”

Without delay, he left the residence and arrived at Yucca Delight as soon as possible.

However, when he did arrive, he stood at the entrance instead of stepping in. Inez is sharing a meal with her fiancé right now. With what identity should I meet her? How can I reasonably chase her fiancé away without making the situation awkward for everyone and then have a one-to-one conversation with her?

After contemplating the matter for a while, he thought himself unskilled in the affairs of love.

Thus, he decided to ask Treyton for advice again.

However, when he patted his empty pocket, he recalled not bringing his phone to make himself seem more pitiful. Great, now I can’t even call for help. Guess I’m on my own.

Meanwhile, in Salinsburgh, the Newtons were enjoying lunch in the dining room at noon.

The meal was particularly delicious because Craig had returned.

Jennifer wasn’t interested in the food. She kept staring at the door.

Craig had promised that their mother would join them for lunch, and she was looking forward to that.

Her excitement was so great that she gripped the hem of her dress and fidgeted with her fingers restlessly.

Just as Craig was about to say something after noticing Jennifer’s anxiety, an elegant woman appeared.

Everyone turned their line of sight to the visitor.

However, plenty of them lowered their heads after realizing who the woman was.

Jennifer stood up excitedly and watched the woman amble in gracefully.

The woman was Caylie Smith, Abraham’s second wife.

Abraham’s first wife passed away soon after the family’s eldest child was born due to an illness.

After that, Abraham married Caylie.

Over the years, she had conceived several children, including Craig, the second child, Lucas, the third, Elise, the fifth whom they had lost, and Jasmine, the seventh and the youngest.

Although she had given birth to many children, her figure remained slender and graceful.

Jennifer’s eyes reddened as she gazed at Caylie. My eyes resemble her the most among my siblings.

Unable to suppress her excitement, she stretched her hand toward Caylie as the latter approached the table.

However, Caylie ignored her and stepped toward Craig, asking in a displeased voice, “Why did you call me here? You’re delaying my visit to the church.”

Craig flashed a faint smile and said gently, “Our long-lost sister has returned, Mom. She missed you.”
