My ex-husband is seeking a second chance

Chapter 12

Brooke Males, Mare’s grandfather, slammed his hand on the desk in the study of the Males residence, causing coffee to spill from his cup. “Do you know what you’ve done!!

Mare was unfired. “I will handle it

“How?” Brooke wasn’t satisfied. He reprimanded, “Have you fo RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Taking a deep breath, Brooke continued, “Pearl cared for you diligently when you were ill. She was obedient and never complained. When you recovered, I thought things would be perfect between you two. How could you divorce her and marry that daughter from the Santos family? Are you out of your mind?”

“No reason.” Marc’s attitude was indifferent. “I simply don’t like her

Brooke’s anger grew. “Why did you marry her then? Pearl may have been born in the country but is well–behaved and modest. How could you abandon her?”

Fuming, Brooke grabbed a paperweight and threw it at Marc. Give me back my granddaughter–in–law.”

Brooke was hot–tempered. “Did you know what he did! He doesn’t want Clarissa but chooses to marry the vixen. He’s out of his mind.” He strode away furiously.

Mandy sighed. Marc came out and met her gaze. “Grandma”

“Is she worth this trouble” Mandy sighed. “You knew what your father did. If you remember, you wouldn’t think about Clarissa at all

Marc pursed his lips, growing frustrated. “Clarissa is different from her family.”

“Different” Mandy mocked. Knowing Mare was stubborn, she switched topics. I heard Pearl left with nothing. Where did she go?”

Mare shook his head. I’m still investigating.”

Mandy sighed again. “Such a pity” She patted Marc on his back. Too bad for you”

Marc frowned. He was uncomfortable with how everyone praised Pearl Pearl was usually quiet. He wondered when she won everyone over.

“Mr. Males, bad news” Thomas rushed over, interrupting Marc’s thoughts, “Your mother went to find Miss Santos… and hit her

Marc’s eyes darkened and ran off

Clarissa was staying in a three–bedroom apartment of more than 1200 square feet Mare arranged for her. Although it was spacious, Clarissa wasn’t satisfied. She preferred the Malles House. She couldn’t wait to be married to Marc She could finally hold her chin high

Have you gone nuts dreaming about marrying into weil I must’ve lost my mind to trust you. I’ve been catching heat all day, and my account got suspended. I’m dying with frustration. I took your money, but I’m done with you

The other responses were worse, either cursing her or blocking her directly. Clarissa frowned, panicking. How did things turn out like this? Trying to calm herself, Clarisa was about to call Mare when an elegantly dressed lady in a wheelchair was wheeled in.
