Chapter 240 

When Jerome’s low volce came from behind, the driver thought that he had misheard it.. 

“Mr. Miller, are you asking me that?” 

Jerome said nothing. 

The driver bravely responded, “My wife has the final say in my family. She’ll take care of any urgent matters, so I don’t need to worry about them.” 

Knowing that the driver had misunderstood his question, Jerome didn’t explain any further. 

The doctor who had treated Mikayla didn’t know what the situation was like at the time, so he had just jumped to conclusions. 

It wasn’t the first time Mikayla had caused trouble for Kylie. If Jerome kept standing up for her Indiscriminately, she would only become even more unscrupulous. 

Besides, he hadn’t known that Mikayla was injured. He had wanted to ask her the details about the 

incident afterward, but she had already left, and he couldn’t contact her. 

Thus, he believed that there was nothing wrong with the way he had handled the whole matter. 

If Mikayla had accompanied Eduard out of town because of this matter, he could only let her go. 

Although Jerome tried to convince himself rationally, he still felt uneasy when he recalled Mikayla’s mockery and coldness. 

After lunch, Mikayla arrived at the airport with Eduard and William. 

She was a lady, so she couldn’t share a room with Eduard. She didn’t know the specific time and place of his accident in her previous life, so, in order to be safe, she had asked William to accompany him. 

After getting their boarding passes, they went to the first–class VIP lounge. 

When William and Eduard were chatting, Mikayla’s phone rang. She glanced at it and found that it was 

Wanda who was calling. 

Why would Wanda call her at this time? 

Mikayla picked up the call and said, “Hello, Grandma. What’s the matter?” 

Wanda replied, “Kay, Zachary will return today. Didn’t you promise me that you would come for dinner at 

the manor?” 

Mikayla slapped her forehead. She had completely forgotten about it. She didn’t hear Jerome mention anything about it in the morning either. 

Of course, even if he had mentioned it, she still wouldn’t change her plans. 

Mikayla apologized, I’m sorry, Grandma I’m accompanying my grandpa to Lakeville to visit an old friend. 

I won’t be around for the next few days, so I can’t go there for dinner tonight 

“When will Mr. Zachary arrive? I’ll give him a call to apologize. 

“You don’t need to do that. I didn’t invite you to meet him. I just wanted you to accompany me 

When Mikayla heard that, she felt even more guilty Last time, she failed to make the mille crepe cake for Wanda, and now she had broken her promise to accompany Wanda for dinner. 

She really wasn’t a good granddaughter in law 

“Kay, did Jerome make you angry again? Why are you suddenly going to Lakeville?” Wanda asked. 

Mikayla quickly changed the topic and said, “Grandpa in getting old. I’m worried about him traveling so far away alone, so I’ve decided to accompany him. 

“But don’t worry. I’ll definitely come back before your birthday and celebrate it with you!” 

Wanda could tell that Mikayla didn’t want to talk about Jerome. They had probably fought again. 

Yesterday, she had received news that the couple had gone on a company trip. They had seemed very affectionate with each other, and someone had even captured photos of them hugging each other. 

So, why was Mikayla going out of town today? 

Wanda thought that their relationship had improved after she had transferred the nanny away. But in the 

end, that wasn’t the case. 

“Kay, you know that I want more than just you celebrating my birthday with me.” 

Mikayla understood what Wanda meant, but she couldn’t do it. She apologized, “I’m sorry, Grandma.” 

“Silly girl, I know that it’s not your fault.” 

Since Wanda couldn’t stop Mikayla from leaving, she requested Mikayla to return two days earlier. 

She informed Mikayla that although there wouldn’t be a huge celebration for her birthday, many relatives and friends would still be there. She hoped that Mikayla could help to set up the venue and take care of 

some other matters. 

Mikayla, who was full of guilt, agreed with Wanda’s request. “Alright. I’ll let you know when I get back.”
