Semua Bab Second Marriage to the Billionaire: Ex-Husband Begs Me Not to Go: Bab 101 - Bab 110

Aria nodded, guessing who Archer was referring to. She didn't want any more entanglements with Larry either, so she quickly agreed."That’s my girl,” Archer chuckled softly.He kissed her again before sitting back and opening the car door to get out."Wait..." Aria grabbed Archer's sleeve, breathing rapidly."Mister—" She almost said "Mr. Duncan" but remembering how particular he was about what she called him, she quickly corrected herself, "Archer, I'm nervous.""Will your grandparents really accept me?" Her worry was genuine.She'd been married before—would the older generation truly be able to accept that?"Why are you still worried?" Archer said. "My grandparents will love you.""I promise." He reached out and ruffled Aria's hair, offering her some comfort.Only now did she realize that since signing their marriage certificate, Archer seemed to enjoy these little touches. She had to admit, his gestures did help ease her anxiety.Pushing down her nervousness, Aria followed

"You rascal! Always giving this old lady such surprises. Aren't you afraid I might not be mentally prepared and get too excited? I could have a heart attack from all this joy!"Marianne was dizzy with unexpected happiness, feeling weak in the knees as she remained seated on the couch."Couldn't you have given your grandmother some warning?" Marianne was overjoyed; though her words were complaints, her face was creased with smiles. "You just registered today? Where's the marriage certificate? Let me see it!"Archer handed the marriage certificate to his grandmother.Marianne opened it and beamed with delight, "Oh my, look at my grandson and his bride! What a perfect match, like a prince and princess! No couple could be more suited for each other! I feel so blissful—after all these years of waiting, I've finally got what I wished for, and such a beautiful granddaughter-in-law too!""Martha, hurry and make some tea! I want to drink tea with my beloved granddaughter-in-law!" Marianne

Martha took the metal bowl back, noticing ash inside it. She wondered what on earth Archer had been doing with it, but since it was his personal business, she had no right to question him—though she remained quite puzzled.When Archer returned to the living room, he found Aria with a large, thick photo album on her lap.He walked over and sat beside her, discovering that the album was filled with his photographs—specifically, pictures from his childhood.Archer smiled, placing his hand on her back and twirling a strand of her hair around his finger."What are you looking at?" he asked.Aria was startled by his touch, but remembering they were now legally married, she turned to smile at him before looking back down to continue browsing. "Your grandmother wanted me to see your old photos. I find them quite interesting—you look so different from now... It's hard to imagine you as this adorable little boy. I always pictured you as having always been the way you are now."Archer chuck

With one worry off her mind, Marianne inevitably turned her attention to Aaron."Aaron," she began, "your older brother is married now, and you're almost thirty. Isn't it time you brought someone home too?"Aaron nearly choked on his food. After a cough, he replied, "Grandma, I'm actually in a better position since I meet lots of people regularly. Who knows, I might find the right person any day now. Instead of worrying about me, why not worry about Anson? He spends all his time in the entertainment industry, and I've heard it's quite common for people there to be gay. You'd be better off keeping an eye on him rather than me."Anson's hand trembled as he was picking up food with his fork. He never expected his second brother to throw him under the bus like this. He had specifically taken time off to come home today, only to be dragged out as a target by Aaron.He glanced at Aaron and said quietly, “Aaron, I'm only in my early twenties, so there's no rush. You, on the other hand, mi

"Yes, Grandma called Dr. Alexander's grandmother," Aria couldn't help but smile."Our grandmother won't consider her job done until she's notified every single family she knows," Archer said.Aria thought the same."You look so smug about it!" Aria couldn't resist asking.Archer's expression remained casual as he replied directly, "I am being smug.""Grandma is making these calls because she's been provoked too many times in the past. Ethan has no other hobbies except dating, and his grandmother has frequently pointed out to my grandmother that I don't have anyone in my life. After being irritated for so long, Grandma is finally striking back."It really wasn't Marianne’s fault.For years, Archer hadn't had anyone special in his life. At Duncan Industries, he was always accompanied by Henry and Kent. In his grandmother's eyes, Archer seemed to have no interest in dating or marriage. She worried about him constantly, while Ethan's grandmother would regularly "boast" about her gra
