The Ceo’s Ex-Wife Can’t Escape

Chapter 54: Good Enough For You Matthew restrained a burst of laughter, covering his mouth while trying to concentrate on his work. Before him, who was gazing down at his reddened face due to the desire not to laugh out loud, Jackson was deeply frowning. After almost a month, he would come up to his office and demand a meeting. But for what is this meeting? Matthew wanted to laugh.

“Am I the bridge of your love story with Airina? And besides, Rina was definitely mad at me when she knew how I set her up with you.” He shook his head, disappointedly and regrettably.

Jackson leaned forward, and then the next second, he pulled the chair. “I don’t ask for so much. Just.. let me know when she is not so busy so I can prepare some dinner with her tonight.”

Matthew sighed, motioning him to leave. “I just learned my lesson. If you really want to be part of her life then do what you going to do and don’t make me meddle in it.”

“… What about you and Elisa?”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Matthew slightly froze, clearing his throat, “I will deal my affairs with my own. What you need to do is learn how to actually get into her heart and be able to melt the coldness she has for you.”

Jackson reclined deeply on the chair, heaving a deep sigh. “I had been calling her and texting her if she was free tonight, but she always just declined and saw my messages. Nothing else.”

Matthew shrugged his shoulders, “Yes, right. You deserve it. Oh, and have you seen Evan?”

Jackson gazed at him, “Evan? He has returned from traveling around?”

Matthew waved his hand, “He really didn’t travel around the world, just went to visit places with his love of life.”

Jackson exhaled deeply, “Even Evan has a love life, why can’t I do the same?,” As he was about to turn around, he blinked his eyes hesitant, “We… well, thank you for your time.”

“Mhm, don’t come back.”

Jackson smirked.

Airina placed the presents she had for the Halton family, allowing the head maid to help her carry them inside. Since she had promised that she would return with gifts, and was finally available, she planned to visit them and pay her greetings to Grandpa Halton, who played a big role in her success on this path.

“Grandpa, I am back!” Airina yelled enthusiastically, obtaining everyone’s attention inside the house. Grandpa Halton’s expression drastically changed, approaching her and smiling at her widely.

“Aha! You’ve finally come to visit us! You unfilial child, I thought you wouldn’t come to visit!”

“Grandpa, you’re being too sarcastic.” Lena, the youngest child in the family complained then embraced Airina in a giggly manner. In return, she kissed Lena’s head, giving her a customized headband and clips with her name engraved intricately on them.

Lena gaped, accepting them with her wide-eyed, “Oh, my, my, my, my! Thank you so much, Rina! You’re now my favorite person!”

Grandpa clicked his tongue in disapproval, “Didn’t you just tell me I am your favorite person?”

Lena stuck out her tongue, “My mind changes quickly!”

As such, she ran inside the living room, playing with the given gifts to her. Airina hugged Grandpa Halton, supporting him to the sofa before sitting across him. Aside from him, there were also Matthew’s parents who smiled at her.

“How have you been dear these past few months?,” his mother asked then resumed, “We have just come back from our traveling, and it seemed that it’s the perfect timing since we came to meet you.”

Airina grinned, “Thank you for wanting to see me, Auntie and Uncle. I also wanted to see you but Matthew said you were occupied with sightseeing. That got me thinking, to what places have you visited?”

His mother laughed in delight, counting with her fingers while saying, “We’ve been to Fiji, Tokyo, Korea, China, Taiwan, Thailand, New Zealand, ah, and Palawan! Everything we have experienced there so far was such the best of the best! Isn’t that right, Ken?”

Mister Ken nodded, “Yes, we can’t wait to start our new journey again.”

“Tsk. Rina came to meet me not you two, so why are you intervening in my conversation with her?” Granda grumbled, a frown deep in his face.

“Aiya, Grandpa. I just became excited to know if Rina is interested in our single bachelor,” his mother turned to her once again, “Rina, do you have any interest in my Matthew?”

Airina widened her eyes, surprised that she had just been asked such a question.

“I…”

“Matthew is a good person, he is handsome, educated, well-built in terms of physical or even mental, and he is also good at consoling others. In terms of business, I’m sure you two have the same wavelength to comprehension. How is he? Is he good enough for you?”
