Love Mission: Ex-wife Strikes Back

Eric sighed and plainly said, "Mom, I really don't like Fiona. I know that you and Dad want to pair me up with someone of equal birth, but I'm really sorry. This will just not work. You know me, Mom. I could be stubborn too; if I don't like Fiona, then I can't force myself to be with her. Or would you rather see me divorced after two years of marriage?"

"What are you talking about?" Lilia replied angrily.

"Your marriage with Fiona was arranged between our family and the Jiang family. Moreover, I have watched Fiona grow up. I know better than anyone else what kind of girl she is.

Your father and I desire to see you live a good life. Fiona is spoiled and bratty sometimes, but she is beautiful, highly educated, and she comes from a respectable family. Marrying a girl of her caliber is the dream of many men. I don't understand why you disagree."

Stunned, Julia straightened her back and said over the phone, "Aunt Lilia? You're back?"

"Yes. Actually, I had just arrived here a few hours ago. By the way, I haven't seen you for a long time, so I want to ask if you have time to have dinner with me tonight," asked Lilia.

"Tonight?" Julia was shocked by the unexpected invitation. She was in the dark as to why Lilia invited her to dinner, but she had a hunch that things would not be good.

However, Julia respected an elder like Lilia, so she felt obliged to give in to her request. How could she refuse her invitation if Lilia was asking to see her herself?

So Julia smiled behind the phone and said, "Sorry Aunt Lilia, I'm afraid I can't make it tonight. I still have to do some nighttime shots. But, I'm free tomorrow. You rarely come for a visit so let me treat you to dinner."

"Okay, how thoughtful of you! See you tomorrow, Julia," Lilia muttered and hung up the phone.
