No Divorce? The Billionaire's Love Chase! novel Chapter 272

"Ann's mother is, in a way, your mother-in-law," Wendy continued. "It's only right for you, as her son-in-law, to visit her now that she's ill."

"Since you can't give Claudia the marriage she wants, you should focus on Ann and your son. Your constant indecisiveness makes me wonder if this child is even yours!"

The moment Wendy said that, the color drained from Ann's face. York's deep eyes darkened.

Wendy picked up her purse and stood. "I won't disturb your family dinner any longer. After you eat, take them home and spend some quality time with them. As for Claudia… you two have no children and few financial entanglements. Just let her go."

Without giving York a chance to respond, Wendy left the private room.

After she was gone, York fell into a long, heavy silence.

Ann watched his expression carefully and tentatively spoke. "York, maybe you should go home to your wife. Ethan and I can take a taxi back."

York tightened his grip on his water glass. "Did you send Celia to find me?"

Ann's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly denied it. "What are you talking about, York? Did Celia come to see you?"

Before he could reply, she added angrily, "My family has had some trouble lately, and Celia saw how upset I was. She suggested I ask you for help, but I refused. She must have gone behind my back because she couldn't bear to see me suffer. I'll confront her about it later."

An inexplicable frustration churned inside York. "I have something to do. You two can take a taxi back."

Seeing him about to leave, Ann grabbed his sleeve and pleaded, "York, you saw what just happened. Your mother is starting to doubt Ethan's father. Please, just do this for show, for our sake. Do you really want your grandfather to come after me again, like he did six years ago?"

York had no appetite. "You feed the child first. I'll wait for you in the car."
