Oh Please, My Ex-wife

Janet walks over as she sighs in relief, she has started to accept Joanna as her own daughter-in-law.

From the aspect of being obedient, Joanna was a thousand times better than Alice.

“You are a sweet girl.”

George is very sharp and notices that his daughter is very protective of the Smiths. She has started to consider for the Smiths before she even marries into the family.

But Edward doesn’t treat Joanna with as much priority as he expects. He heard that he still likes a woman called Alice.

George’s expression worsens and turns his attention onto Edward, “Have you been busy with work lately?”

“It’s an honor to have the concern of the Mayor of Longhorn City. Most of the work is done by Joanna.” Edward replies calmly, he didn’t change his attitude just because he is the Mayor.

From this angle, George cannot but admit that Edward is the most talented young man in the city and it is this reason that he didn’t object to Joanna marrying into the Smith family.

But no matter how talented he is, if Edward’s heart is not with his daughter, then George didn’t feel at ease. “I heard that you held a press conference recently.”

Jonna, who was seating beside, is surprised. She didn’t think that her father will bring up this issue. She tugs on George’s clothes, reminding him not to continue further.

But if George were to restrain his words, then he wouldn’t be the Mayor of the city. He stretches his hand and pats Joanna on her back twice in assurance. He shifts his attention back towards Edward. “You should know my motives.

I never do anything without value. Regarding the Press conference, I’ll take it as you were misguided. It’s better to settle the marriage soon and not drag it out to avoid other interruptions. You, youngsters, don’t keep quarreling every few days, please consider for the older generation.”

George said it is complete and to the point in addressing Edward. It also gives Edward
