The Year I Was the Other Woman To Myself novel Chapter 552

With that, he walked upstairs, leaving her behind.

Maria frowned. She was already in her pajamas, and he was kicking her out?

Her eyes narrowed. It had to be because of Natalie. Hamilton wasn't over her, and that's why he was being so cold.

Penelope waited at the designated spot for a long time, but Hamilton never showed up. Instead, Michael arrived.

“Theodore was there when you called.”

Penelope blinked. “He was?”

She had heard other voices on the line but hadn't thought much of it.

Michael held back a smile. “Which is why Hamilton isn’t coming.”

“Why not?”

“Do you really think Theodore would let him get into a fight with his ex-wife?”

“We don’t have a relationship anymore.”

“That’s what you think.”

Penelope pursed her lips. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

“It means I’m buying you a drink. You in?”

Penelope couldn’t refuse that offer, especially since Michael had helped her out so much.

They went to a stylish little tavern and started with small talk about their lives. As the drinks flowed, the conversation deepened. Somehow, they ended up discussing Theodore’s engagement to the mayor’s daughter. Michael thought they were a good match, but probably not in love.

“So what are you getting at?”

Michael paused. “Is there really no chance for you and him?”

Penelope let out a long breath. “He's like a fine vintage wine.”

“Huh?”

“I’m talking about Theodore.”

“What do I know about what he tastes like?”
