His Ex Wife Is A Billionaire

Chapter 773

Chapter 773

Frederic stormed into the room, his face as dark as a thundercloud, his presence more intimidating than a Halloween ghoul.

“On such a sunny day, why do you have to look like you’re attending a funeral?” Hamilton chided, glancing away from his son’s gloomy expression with a tsk–tsk of disapproval. “Seeing you puts such a damper on my day, I swear it’s shaving years off my life!”

Frederic ignored the verbal sparring with his dad and made a beeline for Marilla, completely disregarding the Ashbournes, who were over for a visit.

“Marilla! You’re coming home with me right now!”

Marilla recoiled, her face pale as milk, clutching her teddy bear like a shield.

Just as Frederic’s hand was about to clamp onto her, another hand–veined and strong–caught his wrist in an iron grip.

Marilla’s eyes widened in shock, staring at the tall figure stepping protectively in front of her. “Aaron.”

Aaron met Frederic’s fiery gaze with a cold flicker in his eyes. “Mr. Frederic, let’s keep this civil. You’re scaring Marilla.”

Frederic, panting with anger and frustration, couldn’t immediately free his wrist from Aaron’s hold and bit back his rage with a snarl, ‘Let go!”

With a calm gaze, Aaron released him.

Frederic quickly stepped back, rubbing his wrist, which had turned an angry shade of purple.

“Mr. Hamilton, Mom, it’s about time. I promised Marilla we’d go out and have some fun,” Aaron said, trying to diffuse the tension as he turned to Hamilton.

“I just said Marilla has to come with me. She’s not going anywhere!” Frederic roared back, unable to contain his fury.

Hamilton bristled. “Marilla already made plans with Aaron. And here you are, making a scene in front of our guests! The Ashbournes have come with gifts, and you’re causing a ruckus!”

“You don’t understand the situation. If you did, you wouldn’t be taking this tone with me!”
