Honey You Are My Lucky Star (Callen and Chelsea) novel Chapter 53

Watching Harrison's car driving away, I have mixed feelings.

Wendy Gibbs, my ex-mother-in-law, just texted me. She's one of the reasons I induced the baby and got divorced.

I don't know why she wants to see me, but she said that if I didn't see her, she would stay at my door.

I hate being threatened, but I didn't refuse her.

I want to see what she wants to do.

I didn't tell Harrison about this because we're not that close yet. Even though we have had sex, I still know nothing about him, so I don't want him to know everything about me.

It's only fair to me, isn't it?

Wendy's standing at the gate of my community, thinking with her head down. Perhaps she senses my gaze, she looks up at me and then walks to me with a smile.

"Chelsea, you're finally back."

Her fake smile makes me sick. "Well, what can I do for you?"

The embarrassment on her face disappears in a flash. "Can we have a good talk in your house?"

"It's not convenient," I refuse her.

She didn't see that coming, so she looks a bit upest.

Maybe she thought I'd treat her like I used to. I couldn't even raise my voice to her when she was still my mother-in-law.

But things are different now. This vicious woman doesn't deserve to be in my house.

Finally, we come to a cafe. She sits down and complains, "If we went to your house, we wouldn't have to pay for coffee."

"It's my treat." I speak coldly.

She looks at me and says awkwardly, "I just think we don't need to come here. A good woman must be thrifty, right?"

I never dared to shop when I lived with her, because she would accuse me of wasting. She thought her son worked hard for money, so I was wrong to spend even a penny.

She wouldn't be happy even if I went shopping for her. Maybe it's because she despises me from the inside.

I can't remember how I put up with her then. Besides, my ex-husband never took my side.

"Don't worry. I can afford this." I smile.

She senses I don't want to talk about it, so she cuts to the chase. "Chelsea, have you seen Callen recently?"

"It's been a long time since we met. What's the matter?" I subconsciously feel that something has happened to Callen.
