Chapter 72

The living room, which was originally filled with joy, was now solemn.

The Old Master sat at the head, while Cristina and Leona beside him, one on the left and one on the
right.

Belle sat next to Cristina and Everett sat next to Leona.

No one had a smile on their face.

The granddaughter-in-law was actually his ex-daughter-in- law! No one could accept it.

No one spoke, as if no one knew what to say, how to say, and how to start.

Finally, the Old Master spoke first, "Bella, tell me what's going on!"

The Old Master used to smile, but now he didn't, so he looked very dignified.

Belle was stunned when she heard Leona talk about the garden, and her mind was in a mess.

When the Old Master asked about it, she clenched her hand and said, "Grandpa, I don't know what's
going on with this either.That day, Brayden suddenly said he was going to get married, and then he
discussed about seeing us.When we met, we made a reservation to meet you.Everything went well.I
had no idea why she would be..."

Looking at Everett sitting across the street, she continued, "I didn't know she would be Everett's ex-
wife.She didn't tell me she was divorced, nor did Brayden:"

Leona said coldly, "She definitely won't say it!"

If she said it, Brayden would not be willing to marry her! Cristina was the calmest person.



He said to the Old Master, "Dad, I think it’s better to wait for Brayden to come back."

Right now, this matter was best known to the parties involved.

"Well, wait until Brayden comes back."

The Old Master had a dark face as well.

No one would be happy that an originally went-well thing had come to this stage.

After the Old Master finished speaking, he looked at Everett.

"Everett, come with me.”

"Ok"

The Old Master went upstairs and Everett followed him.

The two of them disappeared upstairs and the rest people downstairs began to discuss.

Leona immediately asked Belle, "Bella, didn't you investigate that girl when Brayden told you he was
getting married?"

In a family like theirs, if a boy would like to look for a girlfriend but they didn't know the girl well, they
would investigate her thoroughly.

She did not believe that Belle would not investigate the girl.

Belle's heart tightened and her face was full of discomfort.

"No.Mom, you know, Brayden is stubborn.If he made his mind, then no one could change it.He told me
that the other party has no family background, but he likes her.He said he would only marry her.’



"As you know, he has always been in poor health.Thus, I didn't ask for anything from him.I just wanted
him to be healthy and happy, so I didn't check the girl out."

Leona was speechless at once.They were both parents.

How could she not know Belle's feeling? But...Leona opened her mouth several times but she couldn't
say anything.

Cristina looked at her expression and knew that she was in a complicated mood.

One was her son and the other was her grandson.

She felt struggled, too.

"Sister-in-law, we all understand Bella's feeling, but now this thing has happened, it's useless to pursue
what's going on before.Our priority now is to figure out Brayden's feeling, and we'll talk about the rest
later."

Leona had to nod.

Belle said, "I'll call him now!"

Now the most anxious one was her.Cristina stopped her.

"Don't worry, he would be back soon.’ He would definitely come back.Upstairs.Everett followed the Old
Master into the study.As soon as they entered, the Old Master asked, "Have you been in contact with
that girl for the past two years?"

The girl that the Old Master was talking about was naturally Olivia.

Everett looked at the Old Master, his dark eyes as deep as a cold pool.



"No."

The Old Master nodded, his eyes calm.

"Say something about her."
