My CEO Wife Panicked After Our Divorce (Audrey and Carter) novel Chapter 188

Chapter 188

Chris had always thought his mother–in–law was the kind of person who was tough and said little, mainly because he had never seen Linda act with absolute authority in

the business world.

Now looking at her, he felt that something was brewing in her heart, about to explode at any moment.

But fortunately, Linda only said, “You handle it as you see fit. Sophie is your sister, but Michael… people like him, whether it’s you or Sophie, I will never let him into our family. You should have understood this by now, and Sophie better understand it too.”

But obviously, Sophie still didn’t quite understand.

Back then, her liking for Michael was only because she was too fond of her older sister and had always followed her footsteps.

And now, Jessica had already broken free, but Sophie obviously hadn’t.

“In that case, let’s not worry about it for now. I’ll find a way to deal with this live streaming platform.”

The sky gradually darkened, and fireworks had already started outside.

In the kitchen, the chefs and housemaids were still busy, and Albert had gone to make video calls to his son and daughter.

Linda watched TV, while the young couple went to the backyard to watch the fireworks.

“It’s been many years since I’ve seen fireworks up close like this,” said Chris.

Jessica replied, “Impelia has always been like this, it’s really boring. I’ll take you somewhere else.”

“Somewhere else?”

Chris wasn’t very familiar with the area nearby and instinctively glanced at Jessica, who was already holding his hand and heading back to get changed.

“You two going out?”

Jessica said, “I’m taking Chris to watch the fireworks. We’ll be back soon.”

After putting on their coats, Jessica didn’t let go of Chris’s hand.

It wasn’t very dark outside. A week before the New Year, the property management had already wrapped colorful lights around the trees nearby, making the entire neighborhood colorful and bright,

Many houses had various kinds of decorative lights hanging by their doors.

Jessica held Chris’s hand as they walked toward the back of the neighborhood.

There was a small doorway that only allowed one person to pass at a time.

Jessica’s eyes sparkled mischievously, she looked back and smiled at Chris, then bent down to squeeze through.

Chris, not knowing what was going on, could only follow closely.

Only people who were quite thin could pass through the small passage, anyone a little bigger couldn’t get through.

After bending down to pass, just as Chris straightened up, he was stunned by the scene before him.

There was a large open space, seemingly still unplanned for construction, but many people had gathered there.

Apparently, all the nearby families had brought their children to set off fireworks here.

Jessica pointed and said, “When I was little, my dad brought Sophie and me here to play with fireworks. Back then, there weren’t so many people living in this neighborhood. Now it’s much livelier than before.”

It seemed that before his father–in–law died, the family had always lived happily.

Because they had been happy, Jessica’s father’s death became an insurmountable chasm forever.
