No Divorce? The Billionaire's Love Chase! novel Chapter 581

When Palmer, the butler, told her that Old Mr. Ferguson wanted to invite her family to dinner to catch up, Claudia couldn't help but scoff.

That old man from the Ferguson family hadn't changed a bit.

Still so arrogant and domineering.

She was about to refuse when York beat her to it. "Go back and tell my grandfather that won't be necessary."

Palmer looked troubled and refused to leave. "Young Master, the patriarch gave a direct order. You should try to persuade Miss Watkins to come."

Felix hesitated for a moment, then turned to York. "York, our family was in the wrong for suddenly breaking off the engagement. Even though it's in the past, we never properly apologized to your parents. Since your grandfather is extending an invitation, we should go see him."

As soon as Felix finished, Palmer quickly added, "Mr. Watkins is right. I'll go inform the patriarch right away."

York's blue, complex eyes were fixed on Claudia, his expression unreadable.

Claudia stood frozen, lost in thought.

She knew exactly what the men of the Ferguson family were like.

But since the old geezer had come looking for them, even if she refused this time, there would be a next time.

In that case, she might as well take this opportunity to clear the air once and for all.

Claudia pulled York into a private room and spoke candidly. "York, you see what's happening. The closer you get to us, the more dissatisfied your grandfather becomes. For everyone's sake, you should probably keep your distance from now on."

York's voice was as gentle as he could make it. "Claudia, my family's opinion doesn't represent my own."

"Don't worry," he promised. "I won't let my family give you any trouble."

In his past life, he hadn't protected her.

In this life, he would never let her suffer even the slightest harm.

Claudia felt like she couldn't get through to him. "We'll see tonight whether they'll give us trouble or not."

Several hours later, Claudia and her parents arrived at the hotel as planned.

York came forward to greet them. "Why didn't Eddy come?"
