Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right

Verna felt a pang of guilt.

Garland continued to play the emotional card. "If you don't let me out, I'll spill

about when you wet the bed at 12. And when you were 13, you wrote a farewell

letter during your first period. I still remember every word. I..."

"Stop." Verna's face darkened. "Be a gentleman, okay? If you dare say these

things, you're dead."

"Verna, please, I really need to get out. I'm not Fermin. I want to live for myself.

Debra and the others treat me like a friend. I can't just hide here knowing they're

in danger. You understand me and will agree, right?"

"I..." Verna hesitated.

Just then, Bert stepped out of the room. Seeing his stern face, Garland tensed up.

"I was bored in my room. Just chatting with Verna."

"You think I don't know what you're planning? You want to go out? Not a chance."

Before Garland could argue, he added, "But I do have a task for you."

Garland scoffed, "You won't let me out, and now you want me to work for you?

Dream on."

Bert's face darkened. "Fine! We'll ignore the situation in Seamar City now.noveldrama

Anyway, with Andrew there, nothing serious will happen."

He started to head back to his room. Garland quickly grabbed him.

"Dad, wait. What task?"

"I want you to go to Seamar City as

Fermin, strengthen our ties with the

Potter family, and form a long-term

strategic partnership with Debra.

What do you say now?"

Garland quickly nodded. "I'm in."

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely. You're the best dad in the world."

He hugged Bert and rushed back to

grab his already-packed luggage.

Bert was surprised by his eagerness.

"Dad, I love you. I'll see you around."

Garland said, dragging his suitcase

downstairs.

Liza slipped out of her room and hugged Bert. "Dad, I love you too."

She rushed to grab her luggage and follow Garland.

"Stop!" Bert called out to her.
