Always There: Win My Ex-wife Back

Chapter 42: His Cousin 

"Well.Honestly, she is my..."

Gerard left his voice hanging on purpose and l looked at Michelle's nervous expression.

"I'm his relative," Michelle answered quickly before Gerard could finish his sentence.

She was afraid that he would expose their relationship back then.

At that time, she didn't know how many people would annoy her because of it.

After all, it was exasperating enough now.

"Oh? How are you related?"

As Cali Townsley spoke, she walked close to Michelle to read her nameplate.

"So your surname is Mills?"

After completing the report she was dealing with, Michelle raised her head and looked at Cali.

"I'm Gerard's cousin, Miss Townsley.You can go to the nurse with the form."

Michelle neither wanted to look at Gerard nor stay with him for a minute longer.How she wished she could travel through time and space and be anywhere else but here.

"Won't you go with us, Chelle?" he asked with a teasing grin on his face.

‘'How could Michelle say that I was merely a cousin?’' he wondered silently.

Well, technically speaking, the two of them used to be very close and they could certainly pass for being relatives.

But would they still be considered like that if they used to be husband and wife? Michelle handed the form to Gerard and shrugged nonchalantly.

"I'm busy now.I won't be able to accompany you."

"Really? What's making you busy?"

Gerard made it sound like he was asking innocently, but he was actually having fun teasing her.

Despite the scowl on Michelle's face and her obvious disinterest to see him, he still found her endearingly cute.

Gerard's dazzling smile never wavered as he walked out arm in arm with Cali.

Just then, he paused and turned to face her to say, "Chelle, come home with me when you're free.Grandma misses you very much."

Michelle went silent upon hearing those words from him.

As Gerard and Cali walked further to the end of the corridor, Michelle kicked the door and exclaimed, "Damn it! Can you not piss me off? Why did you have to come back?"

"Michelle, who are you cursing?" Nina asked the moment she stepped out of the elevator together with George.

"Nothing.You misheard me.By the way, have you finished your meal!?" Michelle asked in return to cover her shock.

'They didn't see Gerard, did they?'

"Yes, I'm done.Guess who we saw downstairs just now?"All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Nina wiggled her eyebrows as if she was about to reveal a juicy gossip.

Michelle pretended not to know what was going on.

"Who is it?"

"It's Cali Townsley, the movie star! Oh, and guess who else? Gerard too! They were together and it seemed like the relationship rumors written on the newspaper were true.Cali looks even more beautiful in person, although I'm not sure if her figure is real because no one should be that perfect."

Nina rambled on and on, as she had this certain fascination for celebrities.

She didn't notice the knowing look on Michelle's face.She did not just see them.She even personally handled the hospitalization procedure for them.Would Nina be more surprised if she admitted this to her?

"Ah, by the way Michelle, isn't Gerard a relative of your family? I heard that Cali is going to stay in the VIP ward of our hospital.Did you see them just now?" Nina asked as if she read her mind.

"Yes, I saw them.She's in room VIP001," Michelle informed her.

She really admired Nina's lung capacity, since she could speak nonstop without needing to catch her breath.

"Did I hear that right? VIPOO01? That's Gerard's exclusive ward, though.If he let Cali stay there, then it means they're really a couple.It seems that Cali is likely to become the daughter-in-law of the Roberts."

Nina nodded to herself through her observations, as if she was certain of Gerard and Cali's relationship.

'If I told Nina that I used to be the daughter-in-law of the Roberts, what will happen? Will she become speechless for once or would she go even crazier?'’ Michelle wondered.
