The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage

Frank took a taxi to Laneville in the evening and was surprised to find Gina waiting for a while at the door.

Seeing him arrive, she promptly strode up to him and warned, “I take it you know what to say and what not to when you see the old man later.” Frank chuckled. “You really should chase me away instead if you’re that worried.” “What?!” Gina glared at him, shocked that he would speak in that tone with her.

Nonetheless, Frank ignored her and strode inside.

After all, he had no reason to play nice with the rest of the Lane family now that he and Helen were divorced!

As soon as he entered, he found Henry standing there with an apron, having cooked up a storm.

“What’s the occasion, sir? That’s a lot of food,” he said.

Henry was smiling when he saw Frank and walked up to grasp his hand. “Oh, you’re here, Frankie—you’ll find out soon enough.” As the pair sat down and made pleasant small talk, Gina stared fixedly at Frank, fearful that he would say what he should not.

Helen arrived soon enough and saw Frank as she had expected.

Henry was the one who arranged her marriage with Frank, so he naturally valued it greatly.

Helen said just then, “I can just arrange a job for Frank at the company. You don’t have to worry.” Still, Gina frowned as she pointed out, “Peter doesn’t have a job either. You should worry about him more.” “Hah! I would if he doesn’t goof off every other day.” Henry snorted. “All he does is embarrass me… And where is he now? Why isn’t he back yet?” “Oh, he’ll be here soon,”

And here I thought you had it together, but you actually had a woman on the side!” “I-Is that even possible?” Henry was left staring at Frank in disbelief—he knew Frank well enough
