Chapter 272
You’ve finally begun to care for your wife,” Wanda quipped. Glowering at Jerome, she continued, “What have you been doing in the past?”
Grandma-
“Grandma, you’re right. I wasn’t doing my best back then.” Jerome admitted his mistake before Mikayla could even finish speaking.
“It’s not your fault. I was imposing on you,” Mikayla said. “Grandma, Uncle Stephen and Aunt Matilda should be arriving soon. I’ll go and take a look.”
The last thing she wanted was to be in his presence. He reminded her of Kylie, and she didn’t want to be
furious at him because of her.
Knowing that was probably an excuse, Wanda nodded. “Alright.”
She slapped Jerome’s hand away once Mikayla left. “Go away! You’re so clumsy. Kay did a way better job
than you!”
Jerome withdrew his hands, his gaze still fixated on the direction Mikayla left.
“Why are you still here? Go accompany your wife!” Wanda snapped.
He obeyed and trailed after Mikayla.
Stephen and Matilda had arrived. They were busy greeting Zachary and the other Miller relatives. Mikayla
didn’t want to get involved, so she took a seat in a quiet area.
She was just about to request a glass of water when an arm reached out to her. It was Jerome, with a glass of warm water in his hands.
Mikayla furrowed her brows. “Aren’t you supposed to accompany Grandma?”
Jerome placed the glass of water in her hands. “Grandma complained that I was too clumsy. She kicked
me out.”
“You should go greet your relatives. I want to spend some time on my own,” she said.
Jerome’s expression was indiscernible as he sat down beside her. “Ignore what Dad said. He basically
dislikes everyone, so he’s not targeting you.”
Mikayla snickered. “I don’t think so. He seems to be quite pleased with Kylie.”
“Mr. White used to work as our butler, so Dad trusts him. That’s why he cares about Kylie as well.”
She was surprised that he actually bothered to explain. “It’s none of my concern. It doesn’t matter whether he likes me or not. From tomorrow onward, I’m no longer part of his family.”
Jerome felt like he had been stabbed. Well aware that she was annoyed, he averted the topic promptly.
“Didn’t you want to investigate the two bikers who.almost collided with you guys in Lakeville? I told Mike
to kook into it
He immediately attracted her attention.
They’re street racers, and they usually race within the city. You came across them on that street because they were taking the shortcut for a competition.
Tve given så the information to the local police for them to interrogate the racers. They’ll inform me once
there’s any updates.
Mikayla was suspicious. “Where did you get the information?” Didn’t she refuse his help?
Jerome told her that he went to the police station before he visited the hospital. He filed a police report once he was informed of the situation.
“Are you doing this for me, or are you doing it to clear Kylie’s name?” she asked.
