When My Ex's Worst Enemy Became My Sanctuary novel Chapter 264

Aaron coughed a couple of times when he heard that.

Honestly, only Garth would dare say something like that. Aaron didn't even want to hear it.

Scott shot Garth a cold look. His eyes were sharp. “You sure seem eager for us to break up. If we did, Mamie would end up being someone else’s mom, you know.”

“No way!” Garth blurted out, suddenly feeling miserable at the thought.

He really liked Mamie. Maybe it was because she reminded him of his own mom, or maybe he just liked her for no reason at all. Either way, the feeling was impossible to explain.

“Dad, you have to do something.”

“I’m working on it.”

At this point, all he could do was make sure Garth got plenty of time around her.

For three days, Dorothea barely left the villa.

It felt like her body didn’t even belong to her anymore. She was practically living like an overgrown baby.

Latham would carry her to meals, carry her out to the garden to soak up some sun... and somehow, every time, they’d end up back in bed.

When it was finally time to visit her family, Dorothea glanced at the clock and nearly lost it. It was almost noon.

“Latham, can you please control yourself?”

Latham knew he’d gone overboard. He rubbed his nose, taking a kick from his wife without complaint. “Honey, don’t be mad. You just said your legs were so sore you couldn’t even lift them.”

“You still have the nerve to mention that?” Dorothea grabbed anything she could find on the bed and chucked it at him.

Latham didn’t even try to dodge. Instead, he scooped her up and set her on the floor. “Okay, okay, don’t be upset. Go get changed and do your hair. We have to go serve tea to Grandma, remember?”

It wasn’t just Grandma she was worried about.

She hadn’t even said hello to Ladd after the wedding.

Thinking about it made Dorothea mentally curse Latham all over again.

After they finished getting ready and arrived, Pauline greeted them warmly. “If you two couldn’t make it this morning, you could’ve just come another day.”

Dorothea’s cheeks turned pink. “Grandma, we’re actually planning to stay here.”
