Always There: Win My Ex-wife Back

Chapter 26: They Needed Michelle.

Michelle sensed that something was wrong.The sudden affection seemed fake to her.She might have believed her family if they had been kind to her when she was a child, but she could see through their facade now.

Jolie glared at Michelle before reluctantly going upstairs.

"Michelle, this is Mr.Dustin." Clay smiled, pointing at the middle-aged man beside him.

The smile on Michelle's face vanished in an instant.Although she couldn't fathom her grandfather's intentions, she smiled courteously at Dustin.

"Oh, is this your granddaughter Michelle?" Dustin smiled, stretching out his hand.

"Clay has told me a lot about you.You look prettier than he described.Clay, anyone would want to show off a_ pretty granddaughter.Why did you hide her from us?"

Dustin was a sophisticated man.He didn't bother finding out Michelle's status in the family before flattering her.

Clay burst into laughter.

"You are right, Dustin.She has inherited her grandmother's beauty.Michelle is my favorite granddaughter."

Clay was an eloquent speaker.He could persuade anyone into believing his ideology.

"Michelle, you need to behave well in the future.Dustin is the youngest director of the Public Health Bureau.He is your direct leader, so don't hesitate to approach him if you have any problems in the future.He will be happy to help you out."

Clay stood up and motioned Michelle to sit down.He wanted them to get along with each other.

"Dustin has been a busy man, so he is yet to find a wife.Michelle, why don't you find out if there is any suitable match for him in your hospital? Dustin will remember your favor."

Clay beamed with joy.He picked up a cigarette and took a few puffs before placing it back on the table.

It finally dawned on Michelle that Clay wanted her to be a matchmaker.

She understood that he might have heard about her divorce with Gerard and had perhaps called her here for his personal gains.

Michelle grew frustrated.She couldn't understand why the Greenwoods always tormented her.

Michelle had just regained her freedom, but her grandfather was trying to trap her again by introducing her to Dustin.

Their plans seemed never-ending; she didn't have the strength to go through everything all over again.

Michelle sighed and glanced at the clock; she regretted returning home despite knowing that the Greenwoods called her only when they needed something. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Dustin didn't stop talking.

Michelle forced a smile and nodded to his every word.She didn't pay attention to what he was saying; her mind was busy pondering ways to escape.

The clock struck six.The people who had gathered upstairs were chatting happily.

Michelle raked her eyes across the hall.Her breath caught in her throat when she saw a familiar figure descending the stairs.

Time stood still, and everything seemed to fade into insignificance as she couldn't take her eyes off the handsome man.

Dustin's voice turned into a muffled babble.What was he doing here? Michelle's mind went blank.
