80 Jerome pursed his thin lips to ignore Mikaylaâs horrible attitude.
He calmly said, âYou said that you wanted to do this before. Iâm just giving in to your wishes, whatâs wrong with that?â
Mikayla couldnât help but chuckle. âYou said it yourself, that was in the past. I donât want to do it anymore. The only thing you need to do now is sign our divorce papers!â
you donât want to do so anymore, then why did you let your aunt bring my things into the room? And why did you tell your aunt that I rarely come home for meals?â
Mikayla felt like she was caught redâhanded when Jerome said that.
Matilda actually told Jerome about what she had said!
âI didnât ask my aunt to come over. Her actions have nothing to do with me,â Mikayla said.
âMikayla, Jerome, come down quickly! Dinner is ready!â Matildaâs voice came from downstairs.
Mikayla restrained her emotions and said to Jerome, âLetâs talk about this later. No matter what my aunt asks you to do later on, donât agree to it.â
Jerome glanced at her with a numb expression.
Mikayla lost her mood to change clothes and went downstairs.
Amy and Matilda had brought the dishes from the kitchen, Other than the mushroom soup, there was also highâquality braised beef.
It seemed that Matilda had spent quite a bit on the ingredients. It was clear that this meal.
was meant to please.
âWhat are you standing there for? Whereâs Jerome? Ask him to wash his hands and have dinner!â Matilda greeted her warmly.
Mikayla said, âAunt Matilda, please donât come to our house to cook in the future. Amy will prepare whatever we want to eat.â
Matilda understood the implication of Mikaylaâs words and she said, âMikayla, Iâm doing this for you I just want you and Jerome to grow closer.
âWhatâs wrong with that? Why do sound like Iâm meddling in your a your affairs?â
Charter ho replied, âYou shouldnât Interfere in our matters without telling me beforehand Matilda didnât understand what Mikayla was talking about. She asked, âWhat do you mean?â
Then, Matilda quickly added, âOh! Did you mean putting his things back in the room â
She continued to explain, âWhen I came over, your housekeeper was packing things, so I went upstairs to take a look.
âI asked her to move the things in the corridor inside the bedroom. Whatâs wrong with that? You shouldnât throw a tantrum at me!â
Mikayla looked at Matilda and said, âIf youâve so much time, youâre better off taking care of Louisa. I heard she might not graduate on time. I donât need you to worry about my affairs.â
âYou!â Matilda exclaimed.
But when she saw Jerome coming downstairs, she immediately calmed herself.
She ignored Mikayla and warmly greeted him, âJerome, come and sit here. Dinner will be ready soon!â
Mikayla sighed silently.
During the meal, Matilda took the initiative to chat with Jerome. âJerome, you must be very busy with work, right?â
Jerome took a sip of soup and said, âIâm a bit busy.â
Matilda sighed and said, âStephen is also very busy but I doubt heâs as busy as you are.
âHeâs working very hard to keep the company running but not many people appreciate his efforts. Itâs giving him a headache.â
âI think that he should hire a professional team to manage the company if he canât handle it himself,â Mikayla couldnât help but interject. âI mentioned it to Grandpa last time. You must know about it too.â
Matilda was angered by this idea.
âWhat do you mean? Do you not believe in your uncleâs ability? Youâd rather spend money to hire others to do the job?
âIf word gets out, people/would say that Stephen is not fit for the job!â
