Her Marriage: The Night is Still Young-Chapter 86: Josephine Thompson Actually Added Him Back on WeChat
"Mm, okay."
Nathaniel Gallagher didn’t say anything more, and tenderly kissed her forehead.
"Then I’m leaving!"
"Careful on the road."
"Don’t worry, I’ll call you when I get home."
"Goodbye."
...
Half an hour later.
Nathaniel Gallagher drove back to the Gallagher Family’s old residence.
Mrs. Gallagher, Mrs. Dixon, and Vivian Shaw were already waiting for him to come back for dinner.
"Nathaniel, you finally came back. If I hadn’t called you, wouldn’t you have planned on coming home at all?" Mrs. Gallagher sat by the dining table, her face dark and ominous.
She had fractured her leg.
Stayed in the hospital for a week, and now she was back home to recuperate.
Mrs. Dixon: "Ma’am, since the young master is back, please don’t criticize him."
Vivian Shaw also hurriedly tried to soothe Mrs. Gallagher, "Yes, godmother. Brother has been too busy recently, let’s not add to his troubles."
"Rarely do we sit happily together to eat, so let’s talk about something pleasant."
Mrs. Gallagher listened, but could only swallow her anger.
She was getting really angry.
Her son lost his mind and divorced his young and beautiful, talented daughter-in-law.
In turn, he planned to marry an older disabled woman from a humble background.
She could not accept it.
"Mom, I have to go on a business trip to Northwood the day after tomorrow, possibly for a week. While I’m away, make sure Henny is well taken care of."
Mrs. Gallagher responded, "Is it another conference meeting?"
"Yes."
"Are you going alone or with someone else?"
"You don’t need to worry about that, I’ll arrange it myself."
"Is that woman going along with you?"
Nathaniel Gallagher furrowed his brow, "Mom, just take care of yourself and mind your own business."
"No, I can’t. I’m worried you won’t take good care of yourself. Let Vivian go with you." Mrs. Gallagher decided.
Right now, she’d rather accept her son being with Vivian Shaw than with Eleanor Churchill.
"It’s not necessary."
Vivian Shaw looked at him pitifully, "Brother, I’ve never been to Northwood. Now that there’s a chance, I really want to go and see. Besides, isn’t the hotel over there about to open?"
"I also want to go to Northwood to discuss Audenburg’s management styles with the team there."
Nathaniel Gallagher furrowed his brow, speaking indifferently, "The management style and business concept between the mainland and Audenburg are different."
"So, I’m planning to hire local management, your going there is useless."
Vivian Shaw listened but remained persistent, "Brother, that’s perfect, I can learn about the mainland’s management style too."
"At least I can broaden my horizons, gain knowledge. Also, Northwood has so many famous sites, I’d really like to see them."
Mrs. Gallagher quickly chimed in, "Yes, let Vivian go along. Vivian is like family, and with more experience, she can help you in the future."
"...It’s really unnecessary." Nathaniel Gallagher felt even more irritated.
"Look at you, Mom now doesn’t feel anything she says matters to you. You don’t care about me at all now, and I have no say at home anymore." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Vivian Shaw hurriedly pacified, "Godmother, don’t be angry, if brother doesn’t want me to go, I’ll stay in Audenburg to accompany you and take care of you, wouldn’t that be nice?"
"Don’t say it, I have no status now. My son can’t be controlled, doesn’t discuss anything with me, I’m really... better off dead!" Mrs. Gallagher said, then couldn’t help but cry.
"Husband, why did you have to leave so early? Now I’m left alone with nobody to rely on, my son finds me bothersome, I might as well join you."
When Nathaniel Gallagher heard this, he felt utterly powerless, "...Okay, okay, don’t cry. If you want to go, go!"
"I’m leaving the day after tomorrow, hurry up and pack your things."
"Oh, okay, brother. Rest assured, I won’t cause any trouble."
"I’m full, you all eat slowly." Nathaniel Gallagher had no desire to eat, stood up directly, and walked out.
"Nathaniel, why are you leaving in such a hurry when you’ve barely touched your food?"
Nathaniel Gallagher didn’t care to argue, walked out straight away.
He drove aimlessly.
Not knowing where to go?
Return to The Rose Garden, too oppressive.
Return to the ancestral home, too irritating.
Return to Mooncove Bay, seeing the empty house made him resist the urge to reminisce about when he lived with Josephine Thompson.
His other houses were either rented out or rarely visited, too cold and barren.
No choice, he had to return to the club.
He had a presidential suite reserved at the club, specifically for resting at leisure.
Twenty minutes later.
He arrived at the hotel.
All the staff along the way respectfully greeted him, "Hello, President Gallagher."
Nathaniel Gallagher, feeling low, took long strides and quickly entered the elevator.
"Ding!"
As he exited the elevator, he reflexively took out his phone to check.
Upon opening WeChat.
He saw that Josephine Thompson had added him back on WeChat.
She also sent him a cute emoji.
Seeing the message, Nathaniel Gallagher’s heart warmed, feeling slightly excited.
