Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 725

No one could really blame the Blue family for thinking that way.

After all, the idea of Conrad, with his history and status, actually having real feelings? It was almost impossible to believe. Like something straight out of a fairy tale.

But Stephen had always prided himself on reading people well. One look at Conrad and he could tell the guy was sincere. He believed every word Conrad said.

If Conrad was putting on an act, and managed to fool even Stephen, then he deserved an Oscar. But if he really meant it… well, that was something even more special.

Real feelings were rare in families like theirs. That’s why, if you found them, you had to hold on tight.

Stephen nodded again and again.

“Wonderful, just wonderful.”

He grinned, squeezing his wife’s hand and lowering his voice.

“Julia, you’re Wiona’s grandmother. We need to get those gifts ready for the kids as soon as possible.”

Then he looked at Wiona, his excitement bubbling over.

“Wiona, when do we get to meet our great-grandkids?”

He laughed, almost giddy.

“This is the best birthday present we could ever get. Better than all the riches in the world!”

Wiona hadn’t brought the kids today. She hadn’t been sure how things would go with the Blue family, so she’d left the babies at home just in case. If everything went well, she’d bring them next time. If not… well, there’d be no reason for a meeting at all.

Now that she knew where her grandparents stood, Wiona smiled.

“Grandpa, Grandma, don’t worry. At the next family dinner, I’ll bring the twins to meet you.”

There was so much to say and catch up on, the conversation never seemed to end.

Before they knew it, it was lunchtime. Everyone—except Paige and Carter—gathered around the table, even Ryan. The meal was lively and warm.

After lunch, Wiona was shown to a guest room to rest. Conrad, on the other hand, was whisked away by Stephen for a walk in the garden. But even after Wiona woke from her nap, Conrad still hadn’t come back.

She was dying of curiosity. What on earth was her grandfather doing with Conrad? How long could a simple walk really take? Was the Blue family’s garden really that interesting?

She straightened her clothes and went to open the door, only to nearly bump into a maid who was just about to knock.

“Ms. Morgan,” the maid said politely. “Mr. Carter Blue would like to see you.”

Carter?

So he wanted to see her? That was perfect. Wiona had been hoping for a chance to talk to him anyway.

She nodded. “Alright, lead the way.”

Pulling out her phone, she quickly texted Conrad.

Where are you? I’m going to see Carter.

After hitting send, she slipped her phone back into her bag and followed the maid through the hallways, turning this way and that, until they reached a quiet courtyard.

A camellia tree was in full bloom by the entrance, its flowers bright against the leafy green.

Carter stood beneath the tree, waiting.
