Always There: Win My Ex-wife Back

Chapter 45: Grandparents 

Recalling the spectacle Patrick created, Michelle became all the more determined to buy a car.

Moreover, the alimony she received from Gerard was in the realm of big bucks.It was so much that she could squander money all her life without working a single day.

Now that she thought about Gerard, she remembered that after he sent Cali to the hospital, he didn't show up for the entire afternoon.

Perhaps he left early on purpose because he feared the paparazzi would make his visit into some strange story tomorrow.

After being busy for several days, Michelle finally had time to sit back and relax.

Leaning against the bus window, she was reminded of Rose.

Maybe she should call Rose and ask her for advice.

Whilst Michelle was deep in her thoughts, she was surprised when her phone rang abruptly.She saw the caller and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was Rose.

'What a coincidence!' she thought.

"Hi! Good to hear from you Auntie."

As soon as Michelle received a call from Rose, she could feel her mood improving.

"Chelle, are you off duty?"

It was a little noisy on the other end of the phone, so Rose's voice was quite distorted.

"Yes."

To hear her clearer, Michelle brought the phone closer to her ear. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

From the background noise, Michelle could tell that Rose was in a crowded place.

"Chelle, I called you several times before, but you didn't answer.Maybe you were working at that time.I'm at the airport now.I'm going abroad to deal with a case, so it may take a few days for me to come back.When I'm abroad, you can stay with your grandparents; they miss you quite a lot."

Even though Rose said that she couldn't help but sigh.She hoped that after ten years, Michelle's grandparents would let go of the old grudges.

"Grandparents...I see...But...Where do they live?"

Michelle knew that Rose lived alone, and Rose's house was definitely not big enough to accommodate three people.

Moreover, Michelle's grandparents had long since sold their own home, so she was certain that they weren't in their old home either.

When Rose heard Michelle's reply, she knew that Michelle still cared about her grandparents.With a smile, she said, "Chelle, your grandparents are living with your uncle now.You can go there anytime.Don't forget to visit them one of these days, okay? Oh, I've got to hang up; we are boarding.I will call you when I come back."

Before Michelle could say anything, Rose hung up the phone.

Back in the bus, Michelle could only look at her silent phone in a daze.

Of course Michelle knew where her uncle's house was.

Her aunt and uncle had been nothing but kind to her all these years and apart from Rose, she felt the most familial affection for them.

When she thought about that, she recalled that she hadn't visited them in forever.

Stopping her train of thoughts then and there, Michelle decided to get off.

Right now, she was quite close to the city center, so she decided to visit a shopping mall and buy some gifts.

Just now, she had made up her mind to visit her uncle and aunt today.

Instead of dilly- dallying and sleeping on this for days, she decided to visit them today.

If her grandfather still treated her like he used to do in the past, she would not blame him.

After all, he was just an old man, heartbroken by what her parents had done.

Once again stewing in her thoughts, Michelle hailed a taxi.

After getting in, she told the driver the address, and soon, they were on their way to Eastern Villa.

The Eastern Villa was a relatively quiet area of this bustling city.

It had a healthy environment, and the transportation to the major areas of the city was quite convenient.

In the entire Binfield, it was one of the most sought-after areas.

The last time Michelle came here was two months ago.

At that time, she had only separated from Gerard and not divorced him.

So, every time she visited her uncle and aunt, they would bombard her with questions about why Gerard didn't come here.

Michelle still remembered that her answer was always the same.

She would always say that Gerard couldn't come because he was too busy with work.

This time, Michelle wondered if she should tell her uncle and aunt the truth that she had divorced him.
