The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 1173:

But things took a turn when Juliet’s whole family showed up and insisted on treating Cliff to a meal as an apology for Juliet stepping on Laney’s toes.

Philip had previously instructed him to handle the Foster family’s matters properly. Considering how Juliet had helped Madison before and how respectful the whole Foster family currently was, Cliff couldn’t turn them down.noveldrama

As a result, Cliff ended up drinking too much, and by the time he left the table, his head was pounding. Feeling his presence in this state at Laney’s competition would be pointless, he asked Madison to tell Laney not to expect him.

Drunk, Cliff found himself later sleeping in a hotel room.

When Cliff woke up, it was already late. He checked his watch and noted the competition had ended a while ago. Rubbing his temples, he felt a strange emptiness. He figured Laney would likely be mad at him again and probably end up crying.

Cliff sighed, ignoring the headache, and headed for the restroom, intending to take a shower before setting off to pick Laney up.

Just then, someone swiped a card and walked in.

Cliff, who had only gotten half undressed, quickly threw his clothes back on.

Juliet entered. As the eldest daughter of the Foster family, she was not only stunning and well-educated but also smart and great at handling things, completely unlike her arrogant sister Kira.

Seeing Cliff was awake, Juliet gave him a soft smile. “Still not feeling well?” She placed the dinner down. “I asked your father to have the housekeeper prepare your favorite dishes.”

Cliff frowned. “Did you book this room for me?”

“Yes,” Juliet replied, her eyes full of admiration. “You were too drunk, so I went ahead and did it.”

Cliff pressed his lips together. “Thanks, but in the future, just reach out to my assistant for situations like this.”

Juliet wasn’t blind. She knew Cliff’s politeness was just a nice way of turning her down.

Today’s meal, meant to be an apology, was really just a setup against Cliff.

Cliff wasn’t interested in her, but Juliet liked him a lot. He had the looks and skills she was looking for, and with her nearing thirty, she didn’t want to delay marriage any longer.

Juliet shifted the topic. “Laney’s competition just wrapped up. There should be a celebration tonight. Since you missed it because of the drinking, how about buying a gift for her? I can go with you to deliver it.”

Cliff had actually been considering buying Laney a gift to make amends. However, going with Juliet, someone he barely knew, felt off, especially since they were both single.

“Miss Foster, if you have other things to do, go ahead. I’ll drive to meet her once I’m ready,” Cliff said.
