Chapter 27 - 27: Sorry, I disturbed you

Translator: 549690339

She never hoped Michael Gallagher would believe her, but she didn’t expect him to trust Isabelle Richardson’s clumsy scheme either.

Watching Michael Gallagher and Isabelle Richardson leave, Joshua Thompson folded his arms and sneered.

“His eyes are only on Isabelle now. What’s the point of having such a man around for the New Year?”

Molly Walker didn’t speak. She raised the corner of her lips, her eyes dark and unfathomable.

Divorce was inevitable, just delayed by accidents.

“Why did you come too?” Molly changed the subject.

Joshua Thompson thought about Michael’s phone call. He wanted to say that Michael had asked him to come, but considering Michael’s behavior now, he swallowed the words.

Michael jumping off the building was indeed courageous.

But in the end? He rushed to save Isabelle.

He almost thought better of Michael.

Under Molly’s puzzled gaze, Joshua Thompson sneered, “When you didn’t reply, 1 felt something was wrong. I found out easily.”

If it was so easy to find out, then Samuel Richardson wasn’t who he said he was.

He was hiding something.

Molly didn’t care either.

“You were startled today, I’ll treat you to something delicious.” Joshua Thompson tried to lighten the mood.

Molly thought about the box regarding her past, still in the car.

“Wait for me downstairs.’

Molly left him and walked toward the car.

From a distance, the car door opened, and the box lay securely in the seat.

Perhaps the box was inconspicuous, but Samuel and the others had overlooked it. It was still where she left it when she departed.

Molly exhaled in relief, relaxed as she picked up the box. Just as she was about to leave, she heard Isabelle’s voice.

“Michael, I’ve done what I promised you, so now…”

Isabelle’s voice was filled with excitement.

Molly didn’t want to listen, but her feet seemed rooted to the spot, unable to move.

After a while, Michael’s voice came through: “Thank you, I’ll keep my promise to you.” “I’ll divorce her this week, and you can arrange the rest…”

“Alright!

Isabelle hugged something happily, and sounds faded away quickly.

Molly couldn’t bear to listen any longer and turned away abruptly.

However, the commotion still attracted the attention of the two people by the car.

“Miss Walker… Isabelle exclaimed in surprise, “When did you get here?” After speaking, Isabelle revealed a triumphant smile.

She wasn’t disappointed to have Molly overhear, on the contrary, she was glad.

Molly forced a smile and turned around to meet Michael e s gaze. They both stared at each other for a moment, more distant than ever before.

“l just arrived, sorry to interrupt.” Molly’s eyes were indifferent, a detachment like never before.

She turned away without seeing Michael’s clenched fists.

Suppressing her emotions, Molly walked a great distance without looking back.

Her mind was filled with Michael’s promise to Isabelle.

Divorcing her and marrying Isabelle.

It was expected.

He would eventually marry Isabelle.

Her heart had long been frozen, so no pain could be felt, yet her face still felt cold.

Molly looked up as raindrops pelted her face one after another. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

It was raining.

“Molly!” Joshua Thompson waved from the car, “The weather in the mountains is terrible. I checked the forecast, and there could be a landslide.

Let’s leave first.’

Molly, holding the box, didn’t hesitate and ran toward Joshua’s car.

Seeing how she treated the box like a treasure, he casually asked, “What’s in the box that you treasure so much?”

Molly looked at the box, considering whether to open it and show Joshua.

But thinking about its humble contents, she stopped herself in the end.

“Nothing much, just something my grandmother left me.”

About her background.

Seeing her drooping eyelids and sad expression, Joshua Thompson glanced at the box again.

He was curious, but it wasn’t appropriate to ask further.

She’d always been composed or fierce in front of him, rarely showing this kind of expression.

There must be a story behind what’s in the box.

“Since it’s so important, put the box in the back seat.”

It’s dangerous to hold the box while sitting in the passenger seat.

Molly Walker didn’t argue, putting the box in the back seat.

As soon as Joshua Thompson stepped on the gas, his cell phone started vibrating non- stop.

He answered the call with a bored tone, connected the Bluetooth, and the other party’s voice echoed through the car speakers: “Mr. Thompson, the results of your last request are in.”

Upon hearing that, Joshua fumbled to hang up the call.

If Molly knew that he had stolen her hair for a test, not to mention the results, just the behavior itself would make her hate him.

Subconsciously, he hung up the call directly.

Although he was itching to know the results, Molly was there.

He didn’t dare.

Seeing him hastily hang up, Molly pretended not to see or hear anything, looking out the window instead.

Joshua stopped the car and quickly sent a message to the other party: “l will come to get the results tomorrow.”

Before the results were out, he wished day and night for it to come out. But when the results finally came, he started to procrastinate.

He was looking forward to the results, and afraid of them at the same time.

How cowardly.

Joshua mocked himself.

Molly had also received a text message at this time.

It was from Michael Gallagher, stating that he would go to the Civil Affairs Bureau the next day.

It was funny. So many accidents happened regarding their divorce. It seemed as if fate was messing with them. She simply replied with a “Mm-hmm.”

At the Richardson family’s villa.

Samuel Richardson lounged on the sofa, listening to his subordinates’ reports, and angrily put out his cigarette.

“Mr. Richardson, we didn’t expect the heiress to burst in like that.” Sean Johnson braced himself and recounted the events from beginning to end.

“She didn’t see you guys, did she?”

“No, she told us to leave first.’

Samuel nodded, glanced at the message from Isabelle, and a smile spread across his face.

“Leave it at that for now. Just deal with the aftermath.”

Sean looked at Samuel in disbelief.

If this had happened in the past, Samuel would have already called Isabelle over for a lecture.

But now, he seemed quite satisfied with the situation?

Sean was utterly confused.

Samuel happily shared the good news that Isabelle had just sent with them. “Michael Gallagher and Isabelle are getting married.”

Although they missed out on the Thompson family, the Gallagher family was no less than the Thompsons.

He initially thought Isabelle could secure Michael after Xavier Gallagher died, but he didn’t expect it to take so many years.

As long as someone from the Gallagher family became his son-in-law, that was fine.

Sean didn’t expect the news to change so quickly in just a day.

Isabelle was about to marry Michael Gallagher.

But when Michael had rushed in, it was clearly for his ex-wife.

Would their marriage really make the heiress happy?

Unable to speak his mind, he swallowed his words.

Even if she wasn’t happy, it wasn’t his place to say it.

As for Isabelle, a smile lingered on her face.

Ever since Michael proposed marriage, her smile had been unwavering.

Finally, happiness had arrived.

She was going to marry Michael!
