Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 21

Frances was in the lounge, chatting with Martha.

Frances had always loved fashion since she was young. Even though she had aged now, she would never stop seeking beauty.

It's just that no one can erase the marks of time. We all will grow old. No matter how hard she tried, she could not go back to her radiant 20's.

So, when Starry pushed the door and came in, Frances was amazed.

In just two months, her temperament seems to have changed for the better.

Seeing her in the gown, Frances adored it even more, "There you are."

It's just that she was used to being a "wicked person" in front of Starry, so the joy just flashed across her face for a few seconds. Starry walked over to her and Frances returned to her usual expression.

Starry has long been used to it. She smiled as she handed over the gift, "Frances, I wish you good health and a happy birthday."

Frances glanced at Starry, "You are so considerate."

Martha on the side took the gift, "Ms. Bradley seems to have lost weight."

Starry looked at Martha and said, "Thank you for your concern, Aunt Martha. I caught a cold a few days ago."

When Frances heard this, she frowned, "You're still young. How come you've caught a cold twice in just two months?"

"I was accidentally drenched in snow."

Frances glanced at her, "You're a grown up. You don't even know to bring an umbrella with you when it snows?"

Starry smiled and responded humbly, "Not gonna happen next time."

"Fine."

After all, she was not her granddaughter-in-law anymore, and Frances felt it was better not to continue with this topic.

"There is a lot of delicious food downstairs. Help yourself. And you young people can hang out together."

Starry nodded and left politely.

As soon as she walked out, Martha opened the gift from Starry and handed it to Frances, "Old lady, it's a silk handkerchief."

Frances likes these delicate things. The silk handkerchief looks pure handmade, Chinese embroidery, with roses on the front and irises on the back.

Gifts are about the heart, not the money.

Frances liked it, because Starry picked something to her liking, which meant Starry was considerate.

"It's a nice handkerchief and it seems that Ms. Bradley chose it herself."

Frances took over the handkerchief and looked at it, "She did a good job."

Then she handed the handkerchief back to Martha, "Put it away gently."

Lucia hadn't figured out why Starry was here tonight, then she saw Starry come downstairs.

The birthday party had not yet started, and Frances was resting upstairs. Unless Frances requested, no one could go upstairs during this period.

But Starry was invited to see Frances as soon as she came, prompting a lot of speculation.

"Starry met Frances as soon as she came. It seems that Frances is very satisfied with this ex-granddaughter-in-law!"

"Of course. Starry has been married into the Pearson family for five years. She treated people and arranged things nicely every time. Look at her today, although she is divorced from Filip, she still came to the Frances's birthday party. How graceful is that!"

"Right, Starry maybe not be worthy of Filip in terms of her background but she is a good match for Filip in other aspects!"

Lucia couldn't bear to listen to them any longer. She walked up to them with a red wine glass, "Ms. Bradley and Filip are divorced. Let's talk less about whether they match up with each other or not in front of the Pearsons."

They saw Lucia with different expressions, but they didn't refute, "Ms. Scott is right."

Lucia snorted and looked at Starry not far away, the expression on her face getting worse.
