The Returning Ex

Chapter 984

He treated her as if he was talking to a little girl. “I’ll let you check my phone everyday, alright?”

In response, she moved away from him. “Hmph. She can still call you.”

William immediately laughed. “I really can’t do anything about that. Even if I delete her contact, she’d still have my number saved.”

Matilda too, knew that she was being ridiculous. After pursing her lips and contemplating it for a moment, she returned William his phone. “You must tell me if she tries to contact you in the future.”

“Alright, alright,” William answered without any hesitation.

His attitude really made Matilda feel more assured.

Then, she lay down and pondered for a moment before saying again, “About us remarrying, just pick a time to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to claim our certificates again. It shouldn’t be a hassle.”

William turned over and hugged Matilda. “Alright.”

On the other hand, Isabelle had already decided on a place, and her men were efficient enough to arrange for Mrs. Bailey’s departure the next day.

Mrs. Bailey hadn’t started packing up, and she was surprised when she saw how anxious Isabelle was. “Belle, I can’t leave so soon as I haven’t made any preparations yet.”

However, Isabelle started packing up Mrs. Bailey’s luggage for her. “It’s alright. You’ll stay at the hotel first when you get there and I’ll send the butler along with you. After helping to rent a house and let you settle in, he’ll return again.”

After saying these, Isabelle stood up and turned toward Mrs. Bailey. “After I settle everything at my end, I’ll go look for you.”

Right then, Mrs. Bailey’s eyes reddened as she stared at Isabelle and asked, “Are you unhappy here? If you don’t like staying here, let’s just leave together. Don’t care about those responsibilities as the job to take over Bailey Corporation shouldn’t have fallen onto you in the first place.”

Isabelle went over to hug Mrs. Bailey. “I’ve already gotten a plane ticket for you and the butler is already done packing up. A car will be there to pick you guys up when you reach, and I’ve already booked the hotel.”

At that moment, Mrs. Bailey frowned slightly before she lamented, “Why are you in such a hurry?”

However, Isabelle didn’t say anything. Instead, she dragged Mrs. Bailey’s luggage downstairs after packing all the necessary documents as well as clothings.

Meanwhile, the butler was already waiting at the entrance of the house. He could already be counted as an elderly now, so he couldn’t help but feel his heart ache when he saw Mrs. Bailey getting weaker as time passed by.

Moreover, Dexter technically grew up under his watch as well. The thought of him made the butler’s eyes redden.

Then, he asked Mrs. Bailey if she wanted to visit Dexter at the funeral home.

However, Mrs. Bailey decided against it after opening and closing her mouth for a moment.

She wasn’t in a good condition to visit Dexter, and he probably wouldn’t want to see her like this anyway.

To be honest, Mrs. Bailey knew that her condition was bad.

Still, Dexter’s death had been nothing but a disaster for her; her entire world had been shattered and it couldn’t be rebuilt anymore.

Mrs. Bailey didn’t sleep the entire night as she pondered on what happened in the past and what would happen in the future. What could she do to pick up on her life again?

Then, she recalled what Elder Mr. Bailey said when he was on the second floor the previous day. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

She knew that she still couldn’t walk out of it, but all of the others in the family had already gotten over it.

Now, she knew couldn’t fit into this family any longer.

What happened to Dexter had become a scar in Mrs. Bailey’s heart, and it would scab over and over again, never healing itself.

However, it seemed that almost everyone in this family had already forgotten about his existence.

It was as if they all wanted to remove the traces that Dexter was once alive.

After Isabelle sent Mrs. Bailey and the butler into the car and told them to be careful, she sighed in relief as she watched the car drive out from Bailey Residence.

The Baileys would no longer have any relation to Mrs. Bailey from now on.
