CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 287

Frances was still straightening her neck and wanted to argue with her mother.

But when she heard what her mother had said, she was taken aback, “What? What do you mean by that?”

Maggie sneered, “In our family, besides you, who else can be returned? Now let me see what you can do. Old Mrs. Grant came and said in person. She asked you and Khalid to find time to get the divorce agreement. And the Grant family will give you all the property that should be given to you.”

Frances couldn’t believe it was true, and showed a forced smile, “Come on! The Grant family won’t do this, especially Khalid.”

Maggie looked at Frances as if she was an idiot, “Old Mrs. Grant has come and said in person. Khalid doesn’t count for much. How can you be sure that Khalid hasn’t got sick of you for so many years? Frances, I’m your mother, but I also can’t stand you. How long can Khalid bear you?”

Frances was taken aback, but persisted, “No, Khalid won’t.”

She grabbed the phone casually and quickly called Khalid.

As a result, the phone rang for a long time but no one answered.

Frances began to look bad.

She made several calls in a row. Then she had no choice but to put down her phone.

She looked up at Maggie, somewhat anxious, “Mom, what did my mother-in-law say just now?”

Maggie stared at her for a long time before sighing, but her voice was still cold, “She said that you don’t fit each other. The Grant family can’t afford you anymore. The Grant family has too many things to deal with and has no energy to handle the trouble you have caused. So she asks you to find time to go through the divorce procedures with Khalid. As for the divorce agreement, they will write it and show it to you. You will get all the property you deserve.”

“I won’t divorce.” Frances stared and said directly, “I won’t divorce!”

Maggie looked at Frances. There was nothing she could do with her daughter, “I let you go downstairs just to help you strive for a chance, but you didn’t cherish it. I won’t care about your business in the future.”

Frances had just made her lose face in front of Old Mrs.

She really didn’t want to care about her business anymore.

After Maggie finished speaking, she turned around and went out.

Frances sat on the bed and was still in a daze.

She didn’t believe that Khalid would abandon her.

After being his wife for so many years, she still knew what kind of temper Khalid had.

Her mother said that Khalid would not be able to stand her. She also understood this. Sometimes she did go too far but they had been like this for so many years.

Why he couldn’t bear her this time?

Frances thought for a while, then quickly changed her clothes and walked out of the room.

There was no one downstairs. She went straight to the garage and still called Khalid along the way.

But Khalid didn’t answer all the calls.

Before Khalid didn’t answer the phone because he was in social activities or a company meeting.

Today, Old Mrs. Grant came to talk about this matter. Frances didn’t believe that she came here hastily without telling Khalid.

So Khalid should know Old Mrs. Grant’s coming. But now he didn’t answer her calls...

Frances didn’t dare to think about it anymore.

She drove away from the Mason family’s house and drove directly to the Grant family’s old house.

At this time, she didn’t care if she would lose face.

Frances ran through two red lights and drove at top speed to the Grant family’s old house.

After Frances rang the doorbell, a housekeeper came to open the gate. When he saw Frances, he naturally let her in.

Frances drove the car in and saw Lydia when she got off the car.

Lydia was enjoying the cool in the garden.

Seeing Frances, Lydia greeted her without much enthusiasm.

Frances would definitely ignore her before.

But today she thought about it, then spoke, “Hey, are you alone by yourself here?”

Lydia was surprised and said, “Yes, just by myself.”

Frances nodded, then headed towards the main building.

There was no one in the living room of the main building. The servant saw Frances coming back, somewhat surprised, “Madam, you are back.”

Frances raised her foot and walked upstairs. Only after she took two steps, the servant spoke again, “Are you looking for elder Mr. Grant? He is not at home.”

Frances was taken aback for a moment, “He is not here?”

The servant said, “But Old Mrs. Grant is upstairs, and she said if you go find her, you can go directly to her room.”

Frances, standing on the same spot, almost knew what was going on.

Old Mrs. Grant knew what her temper was, and knew that she would definitely come back to look for Khalid, so she let Khalid hide outside.

Frances thought for a while and took a deep breath, “Alright, then I’ll go find her.”

After speaking, she went upstairs at once.

Old Mrs. Grant was in the room and hadn’t changed her clothes.

She was sitting on the sofa at the foot of the bed, holding a photo album.

The photo album was quite large. There were many photos.

At this age, no one developed photos. These photos were all from the past.

Old Mrs. Grant had a smile on her face and her eyes were gentle when she looked at the photos.

As soon as Frances entered, Old Mrs. Grant knew it was her. She didn’t even look up, “There you are. Come and sit.”

Frances was a little angry, pulling a long face. After a few seconds, she sat down next to Old Mrs. Grant.

Old Mrs. Grant didn’t look at Frances at all. She just kept her eyes on the album.

She flipped it twice, “Look, this photo was taken when you and Khalid got married. It has been almost thirty years.”

The photo was plasticized and placed in the album, so it was well preserved.

Frances gave a glance at the photo. She didn’t even know there was such a photo.

But at that time she was really young. She had not put on weight, and she had a smile on her face.

Khalid on the side looked gentle. Both of them grinned at the camera.

Frances froze for a moment but said nothing.

Old Mrs. Grant touched the photo and sighed with emotion, “So many years flew by.”

Old Mrs. Grant laughed softly, “It feels like a blink of an eye. But thirty years have passed. As soon as I saw these photos just now, I don’t know why I suddenly remembered the scene when I met you for the first time.”

Old Mrs. Grant turned her head and looked at Frances, “You felt restrained at that time. When you saw Khalid, you didn’t seem to like him. I thought you two wouldn’t have a follow-up, but later I heard you’d like to get in touch with Khalid.”

Old Mrs. Grant’s eyes were very gentle, “At that time, I actually liked you very much. I could see that you didn’t really like Khalid, but you still said that you’d like to get in touch with him because you thought he should be a good man. I thought you didn’t want to directly reject Khalid. So I thought you were a good girl.”

At that time, Old Mrs. Grant actually investigated Frances. Frances was in her youth, and there were some suitors around her.

Some families with similar backgrounds also regarded her as a candidate for marriage.

At that time, she could choose Khalid and agreed to make friends with him first. Old Mrs. Grant felt that Frances didn’t want to embarrass Khalid.

So she had some good feelings for Frances.

Frances looked at Old Mrs. Grant and felt inexplicably worried.

Old Mrs. Grant closed the album slowly and changed the topic at once, “I heard that you hired someone to look for Katherine’s trouble.”

Frances was taken aback. She didn’t expect Old Mrs. Grant to know this matter.

She stuttered, “How do you know?”

Looking at Frances, Old Mrs. Grant didn’t look angry. Her tone was still easy-going, “Have you never thought about the consequences when you did this?”

Frances was taken aback. She really hadn’t thought about it.

She just wanted to vent her anger.

Old Mrs. Grant sighed, “You’d better get divorced. I’m not sure if you two fit each other, but our Grant family really can’t afford the upheaval.”
