Chapter 265

Nathan invited them into the living room and they sat on the sofa.
After the maids served the refreshments, Loretta sipped on her tea absentmindedly and said coldly,
“What business do you have, asking both of us to come over this time?”
Mila felt unusually upset at the moment. She looked toward the
elderly couple in front of her-They were clearly her grandparents, but she had no memory of them at
all.
They didn’t recognize her either.
She lifted her gaze and noticed that Zach’s gaze was still glued to her
face.
She felt conflicted. “I’m sorry, Mr. Hoffis senior, Madam Hoffis.”
“You don’t need to apologize to us,” Loretta scoffed. “You should apologize to my granddaughter.”
She lowered her head and felt claustrophobic. She then pursed her
dded. “Okay.”
Unse.
rly woman cast her another look of disdain and scoffed in
Are you both in good health?” Mila asked again.
“Whatever you want from us, just be straightforward about it. There’s no room for small talk in our
relationship.” Loretta snapped at her.
The latter lowered her head and fiddled with the corners of her shirt. Being despised by her own
grandmother was upsetting and painful, but she couldn’t tell them the truth.
Nathan slowly reached out and held her hand in his, trying to offer her
moral support.
Zach hasn’t said a word, but his gaze never left her face.
“We’ve gotten a divorce,” Mila said in a low voice.
Loretta was shocked. She looked at the woman and then turned to
look at Nathan.
“Is this true?” She asked.
Nathan didn’t reply, but anger boiled inside him. He couldn’t stand the
sight of Mila putting herself in such a lowly position in order to appease her grandparents.
However, he understood where she was coming from and also respected it. These were her closest
family members after all. She’s not at fault for not wanting them to hate her.
In an instant, Loretta broke into a smile. She clapped her hands gleefully and said, “Wouldn’t it have
made things easier if you did this in the first place?”
She then nudged Zach. “Say something, Zach. What’s the matter with you? Have you been stunned or
something?”
snapped the man back to his senses. “You absolute fool!” ed angrily at her.
furrowed her brows quizzically. “What are you yelling at me for?” She asked with a cold expression.
“I’m doing all this for Sally. Now that Nate’s divorced her, he had us come all the way so we could put
an end to this once and for all!”
Zach was shaking from anger. He glanced at Mila with reddened eyes before prying them away to look
elsewhere.
Loretta didn’t care about him. She asked Nathan with a smile, “What plane now that you’ve invited us
here to give us the news,
Nate?”
The man in question leaned back onto the sofa and replied lightly, ” We’re not talking about that today,
Madam Hoffis.”
“Then what did you have us come over for?”
“To get rid of the misunderstanding surrounding Chubs.”
“Chubs?” Loretta asked, pointing at Mila with disdain. “Isn’t that the nickname you call my
granddaughter?”
Nathan rested his forehead on his palm and rubbed his head with his fingers. He couldn’t understand
why she had to ask the pair to come over. They don’t remember her and they couldn’t tell them the
truth- This idea was nothing but a pain.
Loretta’s perception of her wasn’t going to change just because they were divorced.
At that moment, the air around them was tense.
Mila plastered a calm expression on her face and said gently, “Mr. Hoffis senior, Madam Hoffis, I really
just wanted to meet with the both you and get rid of any misunderstandings.
u don’t blame or resent me. I-”
silly child, how could we resent you?” Zach interrupted. His eyes elled up with tears and his tone was
gentle and loving. “You need to take care of yourself, okay?”
Nathan froze and looked at him with a bewildered expression.
