Always There: Win My Ex-wife Back

Chapter 48: Family Members 

"You're right.It's a good thing that Chelle is here.Please, dear, don't cry.It's my fault that I made you sad.Come here, let me wipe your tears," Angie said, raising her trembling hand to reach Michelle's face.

Her heart sank when she saw the girl's reddened eyes.

"Grandma, I'm okay. Don't cry."

Michelle also wiped the tears off Angie's face, and then, unconsciously, she glanced upstairs.

She knew that her grandfather and uncle were in the study, but why didn't they come down to see her yet? She had a strange feeling about it, after all, she had been in the house for a while.

She wondered if her grandpa was still angry and didn't want to see her. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Noticing that Michelle's eyes kept wandering to the second floor, Angie and Claire immediately realized what the girl must be thinking.

The old lady promptly winked at her daughter-in-law.

As she understood what it meant, Claire stood up and walked towards the stairs.

Once she saw her aunt leaving, Michelle knew that she was going to get her grandfather and uncle downstairs.

The girl couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Seeing this, Angie stood up and sat beside her.She gently held her granddaughter in her arms and caressed her face.

"Chelle, would you like to come live with me? I haven't seen you for so many years. I miss you so much!" What Angie said was true.

For over ten years, she had been suffering day and night.

Her daughter had died miserably at a young age, and all she had left of her was her granddaughter.

Yet her husband had refused to accept the girl, which resulted in Michelle living with the Greenwoods throughout this whole time.

The worst part was that they took advantage of her and made her marry a man for their own benefit.

Not only did Michelle feel uncomfortable with the situation, but she and Gerard didn't even have a wedding ceremony.

As far as the outside world was concerned, there was never a union, much less a divorce.

Angie had asked Elliot and Claire about it, so she knew that Gerard and Michelle's marriage existed only on paper.

The Greenwoods must have cast their greedy eyes on the man's power, and persuaded Michelle to marry him, ignoring her happiness and needs altogether.

At the thought of this, Angie felt even more guilty.

Soon, the three people in the living room heard a sound coming from the stairs.

The first voice Michelle recognized belonged to her uncle, Elliot Mills.

"Oh, my little princess! I was just talking about you with your grandfather.I told him that it was time for you to pay us a visit.I had barely finished my words when your aunt came in saying you were here,"

Elliot said with a smile as he walked down the stairs, supporting the elder of the Mills family, David.

Despite his advanced age, David was still a very strong man.

However, after he came back from abroad, he didn't have time to adapt to the abrupt climate change, so he caught a cold.

Otherwise, he wouldn't need Elliot's help to get downstairs.

The moment the old man spotted Michelle sitting with her head lowered on the sofa, he suddenly felt anxious.

But why was he feeling that way? Over ten years ago, he made a mistake.

Although he confessed the fact to himself every day, for the sake of his dignity, he wouldn't admit it out loud.

Frankly, if he hadn't heard that the Greenwoods had arranged Michelle's marriage, he would never have realized the huge mistake he had made in the past.
