Chapter 12 Why Are You Here?
“Fiancée?”
Wendy exclaimed in shock, instinctively looking at Joe next to her.
Joe’s face turned dark and sullen.
“Mr. Johnson must be joking. When did you get engaged? We didn’t hear anything about it,” Joe said, his eyes fixed on Mia, revealing a touch of severity.
He thought Mia was still the naive woman who would hurriedly explain and placate him at the slightest frown. He didn’t realize that Mia hadn’t even glanced at him, but just looked helplessly at David, “Why are you here?”
Her familiar attitude said it all.
Wendy clutched her skirt tightly, unable to believe it.
The Johnson family! Almost equal to the Smith family! How could Mia, after being abandoned, climb such a high branch?
And Joe’s unusual attitude…
“Congratulations, Mr. Johnson and Miss White. You can come to our wedding…”
“Enough.”
A surge of irritation welled up in Joe’s heart, and he coldly interrupted Wendy.
His eyes met David’s, and the tension between the two men scattered.
Mr. Smith and Mr. Johnson…
The onlookers observed their expressions carefully as if trying to discern something.
Wendy was startled, and her voice dropped a little, “Joe…”
The man who used to comfort her immediately completely ignored her and looked at David, “Mr. Johnson, getting engaged is a good thing, but don’t let it all be in vain.”
David raised an eyebrow and sneered, “Mr. Smith, don’t worry. I’ll surely invite you for a drink at the engagement party.”
Joe glanced at him and turned to leave.
Wendy bit her lip and forced a smile for everyone, hurrying after him.
Others, fearing to offend the Johnson family, had quietly left, leaving David and Mia alone.
Watching Joe’s retreating figure, David eyed Mia, “Seeing your scumbag ex-husband, do you feel thrilled?”
Mia was both amused and annoyed, “What nonsense are you talking about? Announcing me as your fiancée so loudly, aren’t you afraid your mother will kick you out of the house?”
David snorted, “You know how much my mom loves Ben and Anna. If I can bring you home, she might set off ten thousand fireworks.”
Hearing his words, Mia also laughed.
Two years ago, David’s mother, Mrs. Lucky Johnson, was touring Farmland when she suddenly suffered from low blood
sugar.
She happened to meet Ben and Anna, who were playing outside. The two little guys fed her two candies by accident to help her recover. Since then, Mrs. Johnson had been completely conquered by the two little guys, and even David, her biological son, had to step back.
Not far away, Joe’s hand burst into veins, his eyes glaring venomously at the laughing pair. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Wendy was alarmed and hurriedly said, “It seems Miss White and Mr. Johnson are close. Miss White disappeared for five years; I wonder when she met Mr. Johnson. Her disappearance was so complete, I don’t know…”
This was implying that Mia’s disappearance years ago was connected to David.
Joe’s glass shattered in his hand, startling Wendy.
Her eyes welled with tears as she mumbled, “I just care too much about Miss White. After all, she left because of me. Now that she’s back, Joc, if you feel guilty…”
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Joe’s brow furrowed.
Wendy took the opportunity to pout, “I’m just worried that you’ll fall for Miss White again after she returns since she was once your wife.”.
Joe’s eyes landed on the lively pair not far away, and his face darkened further, “We’re divorced; how could I possibly have feelings for her?”
