Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 1314

Joshua shot Adrian a cold glare and said, "You have to come with me right now.”

Adrian furrowed his brows upon hearing this. "Where t o?”

"Where else?" Joshua curled his lips into a sneer." Granny has refused to take the antidote, and her condition is deteriorating. Your sister died many years ago, and you’re her only son now. Do you need m e to teach you what you should be doing?"

Adrian froze for a moment, then suddenly realized that Joshua wanted him to pay his respects to Granny Lynch before she passed. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Joshua, I understand what you're trying to say, and it’s not like I'm refusing to pay my respects to Mother."
