Winning her back after divorce (Divorce anxiety)

Chapter 325

Chapter 325 Adults Are All Liars The next day, Gizem received a phone call from Lauren. “What is the

meaning of all this?” Lauren was fuming. Gizem set her phone aside and put the call on speaker.

“Nothing.” Lauren replied huffily, “I’m out of money.” “So?” Gizem’s tone was ice cold. “I’m not your

parent. Am I supposed to give you an allowance?” “Gizem, what’s your problem?” Lauren was upset.

“Just because I spent some of your money, you think you can act so high and mighty?”

“Don’t spend my money then. Every time you run out of money, you come crawling back to me,”

mocked Gizem. “You!” Lauren gritted her teeth. “What the h*ll is wrong with you?” “Lauren, if you ever

mess around using my face again, I won’t let you get away with it.” Gizem’s tone was flat. “It’s not your

real face anyway. What’s the big fuss?” Lauren sneered. “Anyhow, once you’re done with your mission,

your face and name will disappear.” “That might be so, but I am still using them now. In the meantime,

you better act smarter!” Gizem retorted coolly. “Gizem, I am your senior.” Lauren was infuriated. Gizem

said indifferently, “Senior? I would still scold you the same way even if you were my master.” With that,

she hung up the phone. Lauren was boiling with rage. She set down her phone as she clenched her

jaw. Stupid Gizem! She decided to make a call to Theodore. “Are you here to tattle on Gizem?” said

Theodore half-jokingly. “Master, she’s nothing but a pawn. Why are you so nice to her?” Lauren

couldn’t accept this. “Oh, what do you know? Do you have any idea who her mentor is?” he asked

sternly. “Of course. Her mentor is one of your seniors. So what? She’s still foolishly toyed by us,”

uttered Lauren with contempt.

“Lauren, for the past five years, everything we have, we owe to her. She’s smart, and she’s useful to

us,” reminded Theodore solemnly. Lauren snorted. “We are too hung up on the past. Kathleen knows

how to break through to the future. She is the reason we’ve gotten to where we are today,” he praised.

“Fine. I’ll bear with her a little longer,” Lauren said icily. “By the way, any news on Nicolette’s

whereabouts?” asked Theodore. “No,” Lauren answered. The whole purpose of her trip this time was to

look for Nicolette. She also wanted to relax while she was at it. However, Gizem was putting a damper

on her plans. Five years ago, Nicolette had taken the chaos as an opportunity to escape. Although

Theodore had told Lauren that Nicolette was no longer someone that mattered, Lauren still could not

let go of the matter. That was why she was out searching for Nicolette. Lauren had no idea where she

could be hiding. There was no sign of her at all. The only thing Lauren could do was set this matter Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

aside for the time being. Her priority right now was the issue in Jadeborough. The next day, Desi knew

that Gizem was going to attend a charity event and insisted on tagging along. Gizem knew that Samuel

disliked it when Desi tagged along with her. This was because he was worried Gizem would be a bad

influence on Desi. Although this upset Gizem, she did not want to stir up any trouble. “Desi, I’m sorry,

but I’m really busy today. I won’t have the time to look after you,” she explained. “Ms. Zabinski, you

hate me, don’t you?” said Desi sadly. Although Desi had discussed this with Eil before, she still adored

Gizem. “Of course not. I’ll bring you next time, okay?” Gizem replied helplessly. “You adults are all

liars.” Desi pouted. Just as Gizem was in a dilemma, Samuel came downstairs. When he saw his

daughter’s reddened eyes, his heart ached. “What’s going on?” “Daddy, I want to follow Ms. Zabinski to

the event.” Desi tugged at Samuel’s pants. “Daddy, I want to go.” “Desi, you’re not supposed to go to

places with too many people.” Samuel’s tone was soft. Gizem stared at the elegant, handsome man

before her.

It was as though he had given all his tenderness to his daughter. Even though he seemed cold on the

outside, he was surprisingly a very loving father. Desi’s puppy dog face aroused pity within them. Due

to the little girl’s condition, Samuel rarely brought her out to play. He was afraid that something might

happen to her. Desi was very obedient as well. She had never once rebelled against her father’s

words. When Samuel first woke up and saw the scrawny state she was in, his heart almost tore into

two. The doctor said that since Desi was so tiny, it meant her mother’s pregnancy probably wasn’t a

great one. When Samuel heard that, he hugged Desi and cried. Kathleen had sacrificed her life to give

birth to Desi and Eil. How could his heart not ache? In a cold voice, he said, “Can you promise me that

you won’t run around or get too excited? If anything happens, you must tell Dr. Zabinski at once. Do

you understand?”

“Does that mean I can go?” Desi was overwhelmed with excitement. Samuel nodded. “However, I will

go pick you up in the afternoon.” “Okay!” Desi was over the moon. She went over to Gizem. “Ms.

Zabinski, I can go.” Gizem nodded. “Go get changed. I’ll wait for you.” “Okay, don’t leave without me,”

Desi reminded. “I won’t,” replied Gizem with a smile. Immediately, Desi turned around to go upstairs.

Gizem raised her head to look at Samuel. “Mr. Macari…” “I know. My men will protect her from afar.

Plus, I’ll pick her up in the afternoon,” Samuel assured. “Don’t worry, Mr. Macari. I’ll take good care of

her,” promised Gizem. His expression remained indifferent as he hummed in agreement. When she

saw how cold his reaction was, Gizem felt a little insulted. Does he not trust me? Just then, Desi came

back downstairs. She was wearing a beautiful pale yellow princess dress, looking very adorable. When

Gizem saw the little girl, her heart almost melted. A lot of colleagues in Gizem’s department often

criticized her for being too cold and unfriendly. Honestly, she saw herself as a distant person as well.

However, that all changed after she met Desi. Now, she realized she wasn’t as emotionless as before.

At least when it came to Desi, she had feelings. “Let’s go.” Gizem grabbed Desi’s hand. Desi was

feeling very joyful. She said goodbye to Samuel before following Gizem out. Gizem drove her new car

to take Desi to the event. Half an hour later, they finally reached the event venue. Gizem helped Desi

out of the car as Gemma came out to welcome them. Gemma was surprised when she saw Desi.

“Wow. Samuel let you bring his little princess out?” Gizem shrugged. “Why not?” “Hi, Ms. Young,” Desi

greeted sweetly. Gemma picked her up. Desi was Kathleen’s daughter. In terms of looks, she was the

spitting image of her mother. Gemma had seen Kathleen as a child. Thus, she adored Desi even more.

However, Samuel hardly allowed Desi out of the house. When Gemma missed Desi, she would always

visit Samuel’s place. It was very unexpected to be able to see Desi outside this time. “Come on. I’ll take

you to go meet the others.

The host of this event is called Federick. He has a daughter who suffers from autism. With his years of

effort, her condition has improved somewhat,” explained Gemma.
