Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 1574

A week ago, Gina got an invite from her neighbor.

Her neighbor's son was getting hitched, and they wanted her at the wedding.

On Sunday morning, Gina got all dolled up and was ready to hit the road. Elliott offered to give her a lift, and she was pretty stoked about it, waiting in her room.

Bonnie came back to the room and said to Elliott, "I'm hitting the mall with some coworkers. Time's ticking, I gotta bounce. Let your mom take a taxi."

Elliott checked the time and said, "I already promised Mom a lift. It's too late to hail a cab now. Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"I totally spaced!" Bonnie chuckled, "You better go break the news to your mom."

Elliott was stuck between a rock and a hard place, so he went and told Gina.

Gina was a bit bummed. She had hoped to have Elliott drive her around her old neighborhood to catch up with the old neighbors. She brushed it off with a smile and said, "No biggie, Bonnie's got stuff to do. I'll just grab a cab."

"Then let me call one for you." Elliott pulled out his phone and started calling a cab.

A few minutes later, the cab arrived, and Gina hopped in and headed back to her old neighborhood.

Just as Gina was about to enter her old neighborhood, a man popped out from behind a corner shouting, "Gina!"

Gina jumped at the sudden appearance of the man. It took her a moment to realize it was Shawn Sullivan.

Shawn looked like he'd aged a lot. His hair was gray, his back stooped, and he was dressed in shabby clothes. It was hard to believe this was a man in his fifties.

Gina looked at the man in shock, a wave of hatred and anger washing over her, "Why aren't you dead yet? What are you doing here?"

Shawn stepped forward, his face wrinkled and looking worse for wear, "I messed up before. I quit gambling. I want to come back and live a good life with you."

Seeing people coming to bring gifts, Gina felt embarrassed. She pulled Shawn to a quiet corner away from the crowd, "Under no circumstances are you coming home. And you'd better get out of here. Go wherever you want, but don't bother letting us know if you're sick or even dead."

Tears streamed down Shawn's face, "Gina, we were once married. Can you really bear to see me homeless?"

"You should've thought of that when you were gambling away everything without a care."

Shawn hung his head and wiped his tears, "So what if I lost a lot of money gambling? I bought the old house with the money I earned. Elliott and Emily were raised by me. Now that you've bought a new house and are living the good life, do you want to ditch me? Fine, then I'll sue Elliott for not caring for his father!"

"You're nuts! You think the court has time to deal with a shameless person like you?" Gina glared at Shawn.

Shawn didn't care, "You're pushing it! You can't expect me to beg on the streets."

"If you dare to sue Elliott over this, I swear to God, I'll fight you tooth and nail!" Gina snapped angrily.
