How My Ex Became My Next by Kirk Stanley ( Gilda Lynch )

Chapter 242

Emily laughed at herself when she saw him scuttling away from her.

She was clearheaded now.

She looked downcast with clenching fists, her anger evident all over her face after being rejected. She thought of the scene at the stairs where Jensen unconsciously shielded Gilda.

ily wondered, “Haven’t they been divorced?

Emily

“Why did they act like they still cared about each other?

Emily’s eyes darkened, and a trace of cruelty flashed in her eyes.

Following his shower, Jensen returned to the living room and looked for Gilda, only to discover that she had

vanished.

Noticing that, Marilyn sighed slightly and said, “Gilly has left…”

“Grandma, why didn’t you get her to stay here?” Jensen asked, sounding slightly miffed.

“Jensen, to be honest with me, what exactly do you want?” Marilyn sounded displeased. “I asked you to show Gilly more affection back then, but you ruined it. Now that you are divorced, you are eager to get her back. Why are you so bitchy?”

“Grandma! What are you talking about?”

Marilyn said angrily, “Have you gotten rid of other women? If my memory serves me correctly, you cheated on Gilda and got the other woman pregnant.”

Jensen’s face darkened at the mention of the past.

Although Marilyn spoiled him, there was nothing she could do to help him regarding this matter.

She said, “It only takes one infidelity to make someone unwelcome. Remember that.

“If Gilda forgives you, you must repent for the rest of your life.

*And if Gilda can’t forgive you, don’t force her. If so, it just means that the story of you two has come to an end…”

After hearing Marilyn’s words, Jensen frowned and returned to his bedroom alone, no longer wanting to deal with the guests.

He stayed on the balcony smoking, leaving soot on the floor and a thick smoke cloud in the air.

After a while, Jensen pulled out his phone and made an international call, asking, “How’s the Investigation going?”

After a moment later, Jensen extinguished the cigarette butt. “Okay, I’ll book a ticket and head over right away.”

Jensen flew abroad that night.

After leaving the Harrington residence, Gilda headed straight to a multi–brand boutique in the mall.

It had been a while since Gilda had been here. And the business was doing just fine. Megan hired two shop

assistants to help her.

“Hey, Gilda, what brings you here today?” Megan asked in surprise. Gilda smiled and replied, “I happened to pass by. How is it going? Can you manage it?”

“Yes, don’t worry! No–problem.” Megan answered and then asked Gilda at the sight of her worried look, “Honey, what happened to you today? Are you bothered with something?”

Gilda pursed her lips and asked, “Don’t you think it’s inappropriate to have a black–and–white picture of a living person hanging on their wall?”

After all, it was considered unlucky to do so according to Clusia tradition.

Despite not understanding what Gilda was talking about, Megan stated, “I don’t understand why someone would do that. It sounds weird to me. Anyway, ordinary people wouldn’t do that…..

Gilda thought so too.

But she couldn’t help thinking about the photo hanging on the wall in that room. Was all this just a coincidence?
