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.

Frank, she asked, “Where have you been this afternoon?” Frank shrugged. “I have no reason to tell you, do I?” Helen snorted, greatly upset by his attitude. “Fine, keep your secrets. I’m not bothered.” Turning toward Henry, he asked, “What’s so important, Grandpa?” Seeing that everyone was there, Henry chuckled heartily. “I just met an old comrade, and he told me that his granddaughter is working at Flora Hall.
