The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 787

“Mommy’s not feeling so well, and she asked for you to see her upstairs,” answered Anya.

Maxwell frowned. “She should ask for the doctor instead of me. It’s not like I know how to cure whatever she has.”

Anya was stunned. Maxwell sounded just like Jeremy. ‘Is that how men treat the women they don’t love anymore?’

Ever since she married into this family, Phoebe had been doing whatever she could to please Maxwell, Cedric, and Beatrice, but she did not get the love and respect she hoped for. It was only because of Anya and Sunny that she could keep her position as Maxwell’s wife.

‘Sometimes I wonder how a man’s brain works. I mean, why is Daddy still pining for his ex- wife and daughter? He should be spending more time with Mommy instead. And that Jeremy… he’d rather marry that scheming country bumpkin instead of me!’

Feeling sad for her mother, Anya decided to fight for her sake. “Daddy, maybe you should at least check on Mommy. I heard Grandpa had invited a guest over today, and I’m worried that he’d think Mommy’s a party pooper if she says she wants to go to the hospital today.”

Maxwell pinched the bridge of his nose. “Go back to your mother first. I’ll go check on her a bit later.”

“It’s not that I don’t want to accompany her, but I need to take care of Joey too! Daddy, please hurry up to her room.”

Maxwell sighed and got up from the bench.
