Goodbye My Arrogant Ex novel Chapter 75

“Your mother stopped by a few days ago. She even brought a gift for your wife. The two of them seemed to get along quite well, and she seemed very pleased with Marguerite.”

Leonard raised his eyebrows, genuinely surprised. He hadn’t expected that.

Without hesitating, he headed straight for Marguerite’s bedroom.

When he knocked and stepped inside, Marguerite looked up, startled to see him.

“You’re back,” she said.

“Yeah. I heard my mom came to see you,” Leonard replied, his expression calm and unreadable.

“She was lovely. Treated me very kindly. You don’t need to worry,” Marguerite explained, anxious he might be concerned.

“Oh, and about those companies you suggested—I’ve already started reaching out to them over the past few days. They’re very interested in my patents, and I’ve scheduled some meetings with them soon.”

She kept searching for things to say, unable to shake the awkwardness that lingered between them. It felt as if they were two strangers, tied together by circumstance, making the whole interaction oddly uncomfortable.

Still, she believed that, in time, things might get easier.

Marguerite began to speak again, but his phone rang, cutting her off.

She fell silent, instinctively pausing.

Leonard answered his phone.
