Chapter 1197 Will You Please Be My Plus-one?
Gloria quickly responded without hesitation, “You don’t need to apologize!”
What others said had little influence on their relationship. Old Mrs. Collins had persuaded them to get along well with each other, while Old Mr. Collins had persuaded them to divorce as soon as possible. Their opinions were the opposite. To be exact, they neutralized each other. So, the main reason was Jordy’s attitude toward her. He hated her from the beginning to the end, so it was normal that he did not want to live together with her. Therefore, their divorce had no catalyst from outside. It was just because they were not suitable.
Gloria had long thought it through. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Sensing that Gloria didn’t intend to say anything else, Old Mr. Collins sighed helplessly and said softly, “In this case, I won’t bother you any longer. Girl, I hope you can think about it carefully. There is no rush to refuse.”
Gloria said yes with a calm face although she had been surprised twice just now. Her feelings for Jordy had long turned to ashes, so there was nothing to relive. She did not intend to think about it anymore or take Old Mr. Collins’s words to heart.
“Good.”
After they hung up without saying anything more, the car fell quiet again.
When Gloria turned her head to glance at Jordy, she saw his gloomy face. So, she silently turned around, opened the car door, and got off.
“Thank you for sending me back. See you!” Gloria said, closed the car door, and then walked toward the villa with her bag.
Jordy did not start the car after a long time, but she didn’t pay attention. After she opened the door, she walked inside without hesitation and quickly closed it.
Jordy used to know the password of the combination lock of her house, but she had changed it after that incident, so he could not enter the house without her permission anymore. Moreover, their relationship had reached such a freezing point that she would not allow him to enter her house again.
Jordy didn’t get in this time, and Gloria had a good sleep.
Not long after Gloria arrived at the company the next morning, she received a message from Jonathan, asking, “Old Mr. Roberts’ birthday is coming around the corner. Are you willing to be my plus one?”
Gloria raised an eyebrow and replied, “I’ll go by myself. I will have other things to do on that day, so I might leave earlier.”
Jonathan said, “It’s okay. I’ll send you there.”
Gloria refused, “No, thanks.”
She did not want to spend too much time with Jonathan now. She had originally wanted to deceive Old Mrs. Collins to make her feel better. If she got too close to Jonathan, her plan would backfire. All her efforts would be in vain, and Old Mrs. Collins’s condition would get worse.
She soon added, “I have important things to do, so I can’t get too close to you for the time being. I’m sorry.”
When typing the message, she had deliberately capitalized the word “important” to highlight it. Jonathan was a smart person, so she was sure he could tell what she meant at a glance.
Recently, she had frequently visited the old house of the Collins family, so Jonathan knew how much she cared about Old Mrs. Collins. He was a clever person, so he would not make things difficult for her.
