Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 806

Old Mrs. Quigley had no patience for his useless excuses. She cut him off, "Just agree to the divorce! Stop holding my granddaughter back. She deserves someone better!"

Without waiting for Felix's reply, she hung up the phone.

Felix remained frozen, holding the phone to his ear. A murky, unreadable emotion swirled in his dark eyes.

After a long while, he spoke to the dead line. "We are not getting a divorce."

Once Madeline had composed her expression, she walked toward Felix's car.

But before her hand could even touch the door handle, the car suddenly sped away.

Her face froze.

This was the first time Felix had ever forgotten her.

…

When Claire arrived at Willow Brook, Noreen had already been waiting for about ten minutes.

"Sorry, there was some traffic, it held me up. Aunt Rosalind, have you been waiting long?" Claire felt apologetic.

Rosalind Gilmore smiled and poured her some tea. "Not at all. We just got here a little while ago ourselves."

Claire noticed a gift bag on the chair next to her and asked Noreen, "Didn't I say no presents? You know I don't celebrate my birthday."

Noreen shook her head. "It's not from me."

"Then who is it from?" Claire asked, puzzled.

"My senior, Wilbur."

Claire paused, mid-sip. "He's in Rivercrest City?"

"He was in Winrich this morning for business and gave it to me to pass on to you. He should be back in Northcrest by now."

Claire secretly let out a sigh of relief.

Using the motion of drinking her water, she stole several glances at the gift from Wilbur.

She wondered what it was.

While they waited for the food to arrive, Noreen handed Claire several documents to sign.

The sight of the dense text gave Claire a headache. She asked Noreen what they were.

"Just some documents that need your signature," Noreen said without looking up.
