Chapter 649: The Strange Stepmom
"I didn’t want you to marry Gianna either—did that stop you? Dad, I’m not with Miss Wilson just to spite you. I genuinely like her. But you? You’ve turned yourself into someone else’s pawn over a kid."
Mr. Langston inhaled sharply. He never really understood how much Everett’s biological mother had affected him—just knew his son had this odd quirk: he didn’t like women.
Now that Everett actually liked someone, shouldn’t he just let it be?
"You okay now?" The old man suddenly softened. He wasn’t that stubborn of a person. But divorcing Gianna? That was off the table.
Because they still had a sweet, lively little daughter at home.
"I’m fine," Everett replied flatly.
"If you’re fine, come home for dinner tomorrow night. And if you want to bring Miss Wilson... I won’t object. I still don’t like the idea of you marrying an actress, but I respect your choice," Mr. Langston said with obvious displeasure. "You bailed on Delilah last time. You better go to the Chengs’ in a couple of days and apologize."
"Apologize? I’ve made it clear I won’t see her. Stop throwing women you like at me!"
"How dare you! You’re arrogant and ungrateful!" Mr. Langston was furious, jumping out of his seat. He only pushed those women on Everett because he was afraid the guy would stay single forever.
Everett didn’t even glance back. A week ago, Delilah had flown to Country S to see him—but he’d deliberately avoided her.
She even texted him later, calling him cold and heartless.
