President's Substitute Wife

I was shocked. I turned around and saw Sean standing not far away. He didn’t push the shopping cart. He had only one energy drink in his hand.

He just seemed to want to buy a drink.

Sean was looking at us. He looked very unhappy.

I couldn’t help feeling nervous.

Actually, it was more than three months since we last met.

But he didn’t contact me. I saw him here when I wanted to give up. It was a bit ironic.

“Dad!”

Lester ran over first.

Philip asked me, “Becky, is he your ex husband?”

Ex husband.

Was he my ex husband?

Strictly speaking, he was.

I nodded. “Yes.”

Sean looked down and smiled at Lester. The smile was obviously perfunctory. Then he came to us.

He stood in front of Philip. He was a little taller than Philip. He stared at him and looked at me coldly and asked, “who is he?”

I said, “does it have anything to do with President Jessop?”

So I didn’t need him.

I told myself in silence.

But I felt frustrated.

“Mom, is Dad angry?” Lester looked up and asked me. He was confused.

“Really? I thought he abandoned me.”

“Yes!”

Philip nodded affirmatively.

When he opened the door, I could see Philip’s face was a little surprised.

The next second I saw Sean push him straight away. He came in and looked around. He saw me and came to me. He took my arm and said, “let’s go upstairs and talk.”
