Chapter 58 Return Of Ex-wife

• Back at the hospital, Roxanne had been resting in her ward for over ten days. The wound on her wrist was more or less healed up. On that very day, it was ultimately time for her to be discharged. Shaun. Ingrid, and Bruce all arrived to pick her up. “Oh, Bruce, now that Roxy has been discharged from the hospital, what is the plai your marriage?” Bruce could barely manage a smile on his handsome face. “We planned to go pick the wedding gown in a few days, but only after Roxy’s body has completely recovered. After that, we’ll pick an auspicious date to get engaged.” Ingrid’s mouth twitched slightly as she listened to his speech. “An engagement? What’s the point of getting engaged? Why can’t they ski p all these and get their marriage certificate at once?” she wondered. Of course, she didn’t have the temerity to tell them that. After all, if she were to press the matter, she would make her daughter look bad and cheap. “Okay, then. You two call the shots. As your elders, we’ll only offer our advice when needed. Let’s hop in.” The driver opened the car door. Ingrid got into the car first, followed by Roxanne and Shaun.
• Bruce was the last to slide into the car. As the car headed for the Haynes residence, Bruce’s heart became heavier and more entangled as he thought of his feelings toward Roxanne.. He suddenly discovered that he actually didn’t have a thing for Roxanne at all. After all these years, he remembered never having a stir of rush whenever he faced her. Even so, he could only muster his courage and go with the flow. The first thing that came to Ingrid’s mind the second she reached home was to make a phone call. “Hello, Mrs. Roger! My dear Roxy is getting engaged. Well, who else would it be? Of course, it’s Mr. Everett. He has even bought a pink diamond that’s at least 20 carats and proposed to Roxy.” After a while, Ingrid dialed another number. “Hello, Mrs. Paul! Roxy’s getting engaged next month, so you have to come to witness the ceremony…” Ingrid couldn’t hold back her overflowing joy as she rang up those housewives of the upper echelons to brag about it.
• A few days later, the news of Bruce getting engaged with Roxanne from Haynes Group spread like wildfire. All the Greyport socialites couldn’t stop scoffing, “Another engagement, huh? Didn’t they already have one six years ago? What good had come out of it?” “Hmph! Did you see how smug Ingrid has been? How could the Everett family take her daughter in? Who does she think she is?” “Mr. Everett is also really blind to have chosen Ingrid’s daughter, of all women.” “I heard that it was her daughter who had cut her wrist and threatened Bruce into submitting to this marriage. The Everett family had to accept her daughter for fear of causing a fatality.” “Hah! It’s the same old tricks. It’s just like what Ingrid had done when she forced herself into her man’s family.” “Like mother, like daughter.
