N Jerome probably saw Taylor stopping Mikayla from leaving. So, Mikayla didnât feel the need to explain the situation to him After all, between Kylie and herself, Jerome was much closer to Kylie. He never explained himself, so why should she explain anything to him?
âLetâs go,â Mikayla instructed the driver.
The driver then looked back at Jerome, waiting for his command.
Jerome withdrew his gaze and signaled the driver to drive.
Then he asked Mikayla, âAre you meeting Taylor again?â
âWhat are you trying to say?â Mikayla scoffed. âWhat does it have to do with me if you both donât get along? Why canât I see him?â
Jerome was taken aback by her retort.
âMikayla, canât you speak nicely to me?â he said âIâm sorry. This is who I am. I canât talk nicely to you,â Mikayla retorted.
Sure enough, the coquettish voice Jerome heard from the phone was no longer present.
Jerome didnât want to fight with her, so he asked, âDid something happen just now?
Did Taylor caused you any trouble?
Despite everything, Jeromeâs intervention did come in the nick of time.
Itâs a small matter not really a problem, Mikayla replied, tone softened slightly.
Taylor called her over with some ulterior motives in mind, but he also held something she wanted. She couldnât afford to go against him.
âWhy did you call ?â Mikayla suddenly remembered and asked.
Jerome knew she wasnât telling the truth. But he also knew that, even if he pressured, her she wouldnât reveal it.
Putting his discomfort aside he asked, âHowâs your shoulder? You overwork , did âNope,â she replied.
Mikayla hadnât even driven the car out. She valued her life so much now, she wouldnât go against any medical advice.
âIs that why you called?â Mikayla was puzzled.
Jerome explained, âMy dad will be returning to the country soon. Did Grandma tell. you?â
Mikayla nodded. âYes. Is he coming back today?â
âIn a couple of days,â Jerome replied. âHeâs not comfortable staying at the Miller Manor, and the Miller Villa has been vacant for a long time. There is only a maid who does the cleaning all this while. We may have to go over and make some arrangements.â
So that was the reason.
âIâm not going.â âIâve never met Mr. Zachary so Iâve no idea about his habits. I wonât be of any help. Besides, my shoulder still hurts a lot,â Mikayla explained.
She decided that she didnât want to take up the responsibility.
âYour shoulder didnât hurt when you came to see Taylor, but itâd hurt if you went to the Miller Jerome asked.
âIt hurts. Thatâs why I want to go back and rest,â Mikayla said.
Jerome fell silent.
His expression changed, and he brought up another matter. âWhat did you just call my dad?â
âMr. Zachary. Isnât he the chairman of the Miller Group?â Mikayla replied before realizing something.
âDonât worry, Iâll still address him as Dad before the divorce,â she added Jerome felt unusually annoyed. She couldnât go a second without mentioning the Chapter 205 divorce.
âMikayla, Grandmaâs birthday is coming soon. Can you stop mentioning the divorce Itâs causing trouble for everyone.â
It was a joyous celebration for the family. It was inappropriate for news of the divorce to spread.
According to Wanda, Zachary wouldnât stay abroad for long.
