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.

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?
