The Ex-husband Wants to Get Power Every Day After the Divorce - Chapter 362
Chapter 362: Chapter 361: I Heard That Your Leader Will Be Present
“Natalie, don’t make things difficult for Ivy.” Zoey pulled the excited Natalie back. “The competition is starting today. Where do you expect Ivy to get the tickets for you?”
An awkward smile spread across Natalie’s face.
She was thinking that since her cousin was a member of the ‘W’ organization, she would have no problem getting the tickets somehow. However, the competition was about to start soon, and it was impossible to expect her cousin to steal so many tickets at once.
Such a request was indeed unreasonable.
Natalie apologized with a smile: “I’m sorry, Cousin Ivy. I was too excited, and my request was indeed over the top. Please forget what I said…”
“It’s not too much.” Molly blinked her beautiful eyes and said softly, “It’s not difficult for me to get these tickets.”
Natalie’s eyes widened, and she immediately recalled the incident at the Chamber of Commerce.
It was said that those tickets were hard to come by, but Cousin Ivy managed to get them without spending a dime.
This was the power of the ‘W’ organization.
Natalie rubbed her hands excitedly, “Then I’ll be waiting for those tickets from you, Cousin.”
Upon hearing that Molly could get the tickets, Natalie didn’t hold back anymore.
Ever since she got Harry Lambert’s autograph and a picture with him, Cousin Ivy held a divine status in her heart.
Before, she had only heard about Ivy from others, but after witnessing her save her own company and noticing Harry Lambert being obedient to Ivy, Natalie immediately idolized her cousin.
They were of the same age, but her cousin was just incredible!
Seeing her sister’s eager attitude, Zoey felt a bit helpless. She was about to tell Molly not to spoil Natalie too much when Molly smiled and said, “Big Cousin, you should come too. I have enough tickets.”
Zoey’s words stopped at the tip of her tongue.
She really wanted to attend this design competition. In fact, she had even saved some money to buy a set of jewelry at the event. It wouldn’t be true to say she wasn’t curious or wanted to go. As a jewelry enthusiast, she never missed such competitions, especially one of this level.
Initially, she thought she wouldn’t go since Natalie could only get a few tickets, but she didn’t expect Ivy to get front-row seats.
“Thank you, Cousin.”
She smiled shyly.
Natalie grabbed her hand with a wicked smile, “And you blamed me, but you also wanted to go more than I did.”
Zoey glanced at her and tapped her forehead.
“Then why don’t you go get ready now, or you’ll be late.”
Natalie looked at her pajamas, stuck out her tongue, and playfully went to the dressing room.
Joshua Thompson and Damian Thompson parked their car outside, waiting for them.
Molly glanced at her cell phone, recalling what Michael Gallagher said earlier about taking her to the competition venue.
She only told Michael about her chance to participate in the competition, not even the Thompson or Leaford families.
After Michael learned about it, he said he would personally take her there. However, he hadn’t appeared yet.Thinking about Scarlett Jackson’s voice on the phone last night, Molly felt short of breath.
She had forgotten about Michael’s birthday, but did he have to spend this day with another woman?
Couldn’t he remind her if she forgot?
Although she had some complaints, guilt still occupied her heart, as she really had forgotten about it.
“Let’s go.” Joshua Thompson, with his arms crossed, looked at her hesitation and raised an eyebrow, “Waiting for Michael Gallagher?”
Feeling exposed, Molly pulled a tight smile.
She looked at the time on her phone, sighed softly, and was about to get in the car when a familiar car drove by from outside.
It was Michael Gallagher!
Molly’s heart leapt and she withdrew her foot from Joshua Thompson’s car.
Seeing this, Joshua Thompson raised an eyebrow and said, “As soon as you get a man, you forget about me as your brother.”
“No, no, Joshua, and us!” Natalie cheerfully stepped on the car pedal with her little skirt, “We won’t forget about you, right, sis?”
Zoey just smiled and said nothing.
Molly walked up to the passenger side of Michael Gallagher’s car and looked through the front window to see his handsome, expressionless face.
However, much to Molly’s dismay, he didn’t seem to show any signs of opening the door. She tried pulling the handle twice but couldn’t open it.
Molly was somewhat annoyed and headed straight to Joshua Thompson’s car. But as soon as she was about to walk there, the car drove away.
Molly stood in place, feeling stunned.
At that moment, Michael Gallagher got out of the car and opened the passenger door.
Molly stood there awkwardly, not wanting to go over.
A large hand wrapped around her wrist.
The touch was slightly cold, but it instantly softened her heart.
She figured she would let it go. After all, he was the birthday boy yesterday, and he was indeed wronged.
As he led her to the passenger seat and fastened her seat belt for her, the heaviness in Molly’s heart finally lifted.
“Yesterday…” Molly Walker’s brain was working at a high speed, trying to find a reasonable wording, “That… your birthday… I’m sorry, I forgot.”
Michael Gallagher unbuckled his seatbelt and gently responded with a “Hmm.”
Molly glanced at him, knowing that he was still angry.
The birthday had already passed, and she knew he wouldn’t let go of this matter so soon. After all, it was a fact that she had neglected his birthday.
Thinking about what Scarlett Jackson had said yesterday, Molly softly asked, “About yesterday’s incident… is there anything else you’d like to tell me?”
He had been in the shower with Scarlett, and she even knew his cell phone password. This was something Molly couldn’t accept.
Molly didn’t even know Michael’s cell phone password herself, yet Scarlett did.
This was a blatant provocation.
Michael glanced at the rearview mirror. The girl’s cheeks were puffed with air, and her black eyes were spinning, not knowing what she was thinking but it certainly wasn’t anything good.
“I had a lot to say, but I’ll save it for another time.”
A good proposal had been ruined, and the blame was on Jeremy Norman.
Molly saw that he didn’t seem to want to talk, so her heart clenched in anger and she turned her head away.
The two of them remained silent for the rest of the journey.
It seemed like a century had passed when Michael finally hit the brake, his thin lips tightly pressed together.
He didn’t know why she was still angry even though he was the one who had been wronged yesterday.
“Are you feeling better?”
Her face was still somewhat pale, and he’d heard that she had donated a pound of blood to Jeremy Norman yesterday.
Thinking of her blood flowing into Jeremy’s body, his anger was no longer as unbearable as yesterday, but his mood was still terrible.
His heart felt torn apart, unable to heal.
He knew he shouldn’t be so petty, but thinking of her risking her life to save another man while pregnant, he couldn’t contain his anger.
“I’m fine; it’s no big deal. I just donated blood.” She glanced at him and, sure enough, the man’s face became even darker after hearing this.
“Jeremy Norman is really lucky to have someone like you to save him.”
Michael’s eyes were as deep and intoxicating as the night sky.
Upon hearing this, Molly suddenly felt an inexplicable sourness.
So he had been jealous all this time…
“At that time, the situation was critical. If I didn’t save him, he would have died.” Molly’s tone paused, “Besides, I owe him a favor, and I wanted to repay it… ”
Her words trailed off.
She couldn’t exactly say that after repaying the favor, they wouldn’t owe each other anything anymore.
This would make her seem pretentious.
However, Michael understood what she meant.
Not wanting to be indebted meant that they would not have much interaction in the future.
Seeing her timid appearance, Michael’s anger suddenly washed away.
“Alright, don’t be angry anymore.” She unbuckled her seatbelt, leaned towards him, and held his hand, “It’s my fault. I should have told you about this earlier, I shouldn’t have kept it from you.”
The girl’s soft voice seemed like a fluffy brush, stirring his heart.
Michael’s body was as stiff as a stone, his voice was hoarse and heavy: “Next time, you’re not allowed to donate blood to him.”
“Even if he’s about to die in the next second, it’s not your turn to donate.” He added forcefully.
Molly nodded, tilted her head playfully, and asked, “Is there anything you want to tell me?”
She had been frank with him, and she hoped Michael could be frank too.
Obviously, what happened between him and Scarlett yesterday was not an accident.
Having divorced, the two of them could marry separately but she couldn’t help but care.
She admitted she was petty, but for the sake of their child and herself, she needed to know his intentions.
“I’ve already said what I needed to say.” Michael looked down at her, deep and serious, “I’ve forgiven you.”
That’s it?
Molly felt a bit annoyed.
What did he mean by this? Was he planning to hide the fact that he had shared a room with Scarlett?
“You and Scarlett… ”
“Miss Thompson!” A voice suddenly interrupted her words.
Molly looked out the window and saw Scarlett wearing a white fur coat, holding an expensive rare leather bag, standing there tall and graceful, with a smile full of inscrutable depth: “I heard that the leaders of your ‘W’ organization will be attending today’s event. Is that true?”
