When My Ex's Worst Enemy Became My Sanctuary novel Chapter 301

In his mind, this was the best place Bonita could possibly go. A whole day passed before Bonita finally replied with a simple, “Okay.”

Scott showed up in a sharp suit, carrying a few gifts. “Relax,” he said, flashing Mamie a reassuring smile. “Your parents already like me. If they ask about the wedding, just say it was my idea. They won’t blame you for anything.”

Mamie hadn’t told him she had lost her memory, and she definitely hadn’t explained that Claire and Josh were really her uncle and aunt, not her parents.

“I’m not nervous,” she replied, keeping her voice steady.

When the door opened, Mamie stepped in with a bright smile. “Dad, Mom, I’m home.”

Claire felt her eyes sting. It had been so long since she’d heard Mamie call her “Mom” like that.

“Mamie, you’re back!” Claire said, her voice trembling a little.

“Claire, Josh, I’ll just put these gifts here. It’s not much, just something small. Sorry for showing up with no warning.”

Josh watched Scott closely, his eyes narrowing a bit. The man seemed even more sincere than last time, almost too earnest.

“Come in, have a seat. You’re not intruding at all,” Josh said.

Scott sat down, but immediately noticed Adonis coming out of the study. The look Adonis gave him was hard and cold, his eyes sharp and full of scrutiny.

“Mamie, this is your brother, right?” Scott asked, trying to be polite.

Adonis didn’t bother to hide his annoyance. He looked like he wished Scott would disappear.

Josh picked up on the tension and shot Adonis a warning look. “Adonis, this is your sister’s boyfriend.”

“Josh, I’m not just her boyfriend anymore.”
