Looking at Molly’s serious face, Michael lowered his eyes, and a pure smile appeared in his deep pupils.

No wonder she’s the manager of “W” organization, being able to make such a promise to him.

She was indeed confident and capable.

Actually, after saying that, Molly herself felt a little embarrassed.

Michael had everything now, and saying something like that to him seemed like an empty promise.

“If you can’t think of anything now, you can bring it up later,” she added carefully.

“I’ll ask now.” Michael’s gaze deepened, “The day after tomorrow, there is a family dinner held by my grandfather. Come with me at that time.”

Jenkins family dinner? Inviting her?

Molly was stunned for a moment.

“Not only the Jenkins family, but my grandfather’s friends will be there too. You can think of it as attending a small banquet.”

Upon hearing this, Molly felt slightly relieved, but then a little disappointed, her heart feeling empty.

Michael pursed his lips, actually, what he wanted to ask the most was to remarry, but he didn’t want to force her, nor did he want her to use marriage as a favor.

Emotions should be a matter of mutual respect and willingness for both parties.

Being with him for three years, if it hadn’t been for the incident, she might have still been enduring everything about him.

Thinking of how she had tearfully confronted him back then, his heart suddenly ached.

At that time, he hadn’t realized that he had fallen for her, and still thought he treated her just like family as before. By the time he realized he had fallen in love with her, he had missed too many chances.

“From beginning to end, I never thought of marrying Isabelle.” After hesitating for a few seconds, he lowered his eyes, his well-defined hand slightly curled, “I took her back to the country because she tried to commit suicide abroad by burning charcoal, and was saved. Later, she was diagnosed with severe depression, and the doctor said she could commit suicide at any time.”

At this point, Molly frowned.

Isabelle, who was so sick, might indeed do such a thing.

As for the marriage between Michael and Isabelle, it does seem there has been no progress. Although she has seen Isabelle choosing a wedding dress and heard the two discussing marriage, it seems that there has been no next step from Michael’s side.

“Were you just appeasing her at that time?”

It’s not only appeasing, but also stalling.

Michael nodded his head, recalling the incident between Isabelle and Xavier, his eyes clear, “Sending her abroad and letting her live well is my way of taking care of her.”

He couldn’t bring himself to marry Isabelle.

“What if she actually committed suicide for you back then ”

Molly’s words trailed off.

Michael smiled bitterly. At that time, he had been living entirely for the Gallagher family, for Xavier, and never thought of living for himself.

After Xavier’s death, he became like a zombie. When Isabelle threatened him with death, he could only use delaying tactics, but marrying her was something he truly couldn’t do.

“Did you ever have feelings for her?” She remembered, at that time, the news of their love affair had spread wildly. In the Gallagher family, all the servants began to sympathize with her.

“No.”

He had only ever felt responsibility towards Isabelle. It was only when he found out about Bailey’s whereabouts that he proceeded with a plan.

Molly recalled his change in attitude. Before, although he had some scandals, he had never been so cold to her. Although they were not very close, he would still come home and eat the late-night snacks she made. Without this, their marriage would not have lasted three years.

It wasn’t until the half-year before their divorce that Michael gradually became indifferent, and later even brought Isabelle back.

“Did you discover early on that Xavier was still alive?” Molly asked suspiciously. Bailey, being only a few years old, couldn’t possibly hide so well.

Even later when Bailey returned to the Gallagher family, it was so smooth and natural that it seemed odd.

With Michael’s intelligence, he couldn’t have been kept in the dark about such a thing by Isabelle.

It was more likely that he had found out early on.

Michael smiled meaningfully, “I had suspicions, but I wasn’t sure.”

As she thought

“After that night, I was indeed very angry. I hate being manipulated, but I would not have thought you would ask for a divorce.”

If she had simply asked for a divorce, he wouldn’t have let her go easily. But if she had fallen in love with someone else, he could only let her go.

However, there was a variable between the two, her grandmother.

He hadn’t expected Isabelle to be so bold, nor that she had a background, not fearing the Richardson family, nor caring about the Thompson family.

Knowing the truth, Molly’s heart gradually calmed down. Regardless of her relationship with him, her biggest fear during these days was not that she had loved him but that she had fallen for a terrible man.

Admitting that she had poor taste and had fallen in love with a scumbag was cruel in itself.

“I’ll go to the Jenkins family dinner the day after tomorrow,” Molly’s heart relaxed, and a smile appeared on her face involuntarily, “But I don’t promise I won’t quarrel with your grandfather.”

She couldn’t do much about an old man who was obsessed with the surname of the child in her belly, but she could definitely quarrel.

Thinking of the last time she was almost dismissed, Michael’s face slightly cooled.

His grandfather indeed acted foolishly at times.

“I’ll pick you up then.”

“Okay.” Molly nodded her head, looked up, and met his burning gaze. Her heart panicked, and she quickly said, “Now that we’ve talked, should we go outside first?”

They were at someone else’s house, and it wouldn’t be good if others saw them.

“Yeah.” Michael’s eyes dimmed, pressing his magnetic voice, “Wait.”

Molly looked back, and he pulled her in, the usually calm man obediently coaxing, “Molly, can I have a hug?”

A hug?

Molly suddenly remembered that sometimes after returning home from a meeting, he would be too tired to eat dinner and would stand alone on the balcony smoking, standing there for hours. She, new to marriage, didn’t know how to comfort him, so she could only stand aside and worry.

Later, she saw an article saying that if a man comes home very tired, please give him a hug, even a stranger’s hug can have a healing effect.

The next day, she asked him if she could hug him.

Michael raised his eyebrows as if he didn’t understand her intention, and she gritted her teeth and threw herself into his arms. Surprisingly, he didn’t push her away, even asking if she had been wronged outside and what was wrong with her.

Since then, hugging became their unspoken agreement, and neither of them crossed the line.

But now, Michael was actually asking for a hug, so humble and submissive.

Molly found it funny.

Just then, the door suddenly opened.
