Twins - The Unforeseen Legacy of My Ex's Uncle-in-Law novel Chapter 313

“Odette’s back in town.”

“You’re not gonna tell me this is all about Odette, are you?” Serge said with disbelief. “As far as I know, he’s not exactly losing sleep over her. He’s never been like this before.”

Today, Enoch’s reaction was, admittedly, a bit over the top.

Drusilla was at a loss for words, merely sighing before speaking, “Let’s just drop it, Dr. Denton. Please, don’t say things like that in front of him again!”

“What for?” Oberon chuckled. “Aren’t they heading for a divorce? What’s there to misunderstand? You still have feelings for him, don’t you?”

He had deliberately stirred the pot in front of Enoch to gauge his reaction. Clearly, Enoch wasn’t as indifferent towards Drusilla as he pretended to be.

If he truly felt nothing, he wouldn’t care whether or not she was moving on.

As for Drusilla, despite her attempts to remain detached, it was obvious she was still concerned about how Enoch viewed her.

“I don’t have feelings for him,” Drusilla denied. “I just don’t want him getting the wrong idea about us. It would reflect poorly on me! You know how this world treats women. Men can do anything, and it’s just a bit of banter, but if a woman steps out of line, society can’t wait to crush her. I’ve already been through the wringer with my divorce from Harlan. I don’t need rumors about me and Enoch adding to that.”

Serge looked genuinely remorseful, “Sorry, I didn’t think it through. My apologies.”

Drusilla cracked a small smile at his words, “I’m going to check on the kids.”

Serge nodded, “Alright.”

He had planned to visit his sister as well, but after Drusilla’s remarks, he didn’t follow her.

...

Drusilla felt awkward, quickly adding, “Well, after getting to know her, I realized she’s had it tough.”

Blythe nodded, “True. Colton and Cormac came back without her asking for anything in return. Maybe you should spend some time with her, see if she needs anything. We can’t have her struggling too much.”

Drusilla lowered her gaze, not really intending for the Taylors to offer Verena anything. After all, Verena wouldn’t accept it. It was more about making sure they had a good impression of Verena. That way, if she needed to take the kids back under Verena’s name, they wouldn’t think too much of it.

...

As Drusilla was eating, her phone suddenly rang. It was Hestia on the line.

Drusilla glanced at the screen before answering, “Hello?”

Hestia sounded frantic, her voice hushed, “Drusilla, what’s going on with you and Enoch? Do you have any idea he’s causing trouble again? Isn’t he still your husband? How can you not handle one man? Do you know he’s on the verge of making our family go bankrupt?”
