THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 743

The reporter, surprised by his question, chuckled. "Of course, Mr. Gonzales. Please, speak freely."

"No," Stuart said, shaking his head. "In my eyes, my daughter is perfect. No one is good enough for her. So if she decides to never get married, never have children, I will support her unconditionally."

*Crack.*

The sound of a crystal paperweight shattering on the floor echoed in Gordon's silent office. His heart shattered right along with it.

*Why couldn't his future father-in-law be a little more old-fashioned?* he lamented. *How could a person be so progressive? People were meant to get married! How could you spend your life with someone you love and not marry them?*

Gordon pressed his temples, a dull ache spreading through his chest. Having a girlfriend who didn't believe in marriage was hard enough. Now he had a fiercely supportive, open-minded father-in-law to contend with.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing thoughts. He opened his laptop, navigated to a popular online forum, and typed a question.

[URGENT: How to win over a future father-in-law with maximum charm and tact?]

As a premium member who had posted a generous reward for the best answer, responses started pouring in almost immediately.

[Dude, you're a busy guy! A few weeks ago, you were trying to befriend a dog, now you're trying to charm your girlfriend’s father!]

[Did you ever figure out the dog situation?]

It was true. Gordon's last question had been about how to bond with a dog, which was precisely why he and Monday were now the best of friends.
