Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband? novel Chapter 12

Hearing Giselle's voice, Adrian's eyes instantly lit up.

"Giselle! Giselle!"

He called out to her, his voice full of indignation, "Dad, you're a liar! You promised and didn't keep it. I'm not talking to you anymore. Giselle, Dad's cheating me!"

By the end of his rant, he was complaining about Lysander to Giselle.

On the other end, Giselle, hearing his frustration, took the phone and soothed Adrian with her gentle words. She playfully scolded Lysander, making light of his faults, and promised Adrian that she would take him out over the weekend and play games with him. Only then did Adrian's mood improve, and he started to laugh.

Giselle always knew how to handle things.

In the past, whether Dad was reprimanding him or making him unhappy, reporting to Mom never helped—Dad never listened to her.

After a while, Adrian reluctantly hung up.

Once he ended the call, he suddenly remembered what Lysander had mentioned—Mom was back from her trip.

Wouldn't that mean she would be home tonight?

Oh no, if Mom came back, she would start imposing her rules again, limiting his game time—what a nuisance!

Even Dad didn't like spending time with Mom, so why should he have to endure it? Dad was being unfair!

He wasn't going to behave.

He decided to go to Grandma's house. That way, even if Mom came back, he wouldn't have to stay with her.

Adrian immediately climbed out of bed, clumsily dressed himself, and grabbed his gaming console before heading downstairs to knock on Harper's door.

Harper, awoken by the noise and puzzled by the young master's antics, reluctantly called the driver. In the middle of the night, they drove Adrian to the Montgomery Manor.
