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?”

“He...”

I wanted to explain, but soon I didn’t think I needed to. I had nothing to do with Sean anyway. Why should I explain?

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

Sean’s face got worse.

At this time, Lester shouted, “he’s Philip! Mom asked Philip to play with me during my holiday! Philip taught me and played games with me. Philip is good!”

Lester was a child and naive. His eyes were as bright as stars when he was talking.

He couldn’t see Sean unhappy.

But I could.
