We Are Not Getting Remarried: Show Yourself Out

Chapter 538

serving the food and closed the door.Darren looked calm as he addressed the table, “Let’s eat first. We can only leave after finishing everything on the table.”Norman was dumbfounded.No one can eat under this circumstance!Their words had been full of ill intent, and they had even threatened him. Norman couldn’t say anything now! How could he go back on his words? In any other situation, the person wanting to breach the contract would have to pay the severance fee, but since Darren said that he would pay that fee, all his roads were now blocked.The Wickam family! They’re playing us!Norman did not want to participate in this dinner. He couldn’t stand putting down his pride. His daughter’s been abandoned, and they would soon be the laughingstock of the whole world. How could he sit here and have a meal with him courteously?Norman inhaled and tried to control his emotions.

His indifference showed how shameful Linda was to ask this question.‘Crack!’It was as though one could hear Linda’s heart breaking into pieces. There was only panic in her eyes. She shook her head in denial, “Why… Why are you doing this to me…”Her eyes were filled with sorrow, but Gareth was immune to it. He stood up and said, “I’ve got things to attend to. Enjoy the food.”He left right after that.“Garry!!” Linda called out in a hoarse voice. She stood up and followed after him.“Linda!”Norman was worried, but he could not leave. Rose furrowed her brows but stayed unmoving in her seat.…Linda’s tears continued to fall while she chased after Gareth.“Garry, please don’t go.
