When My Ex's Worst Enemy Became My Sanctuary novel Chapter 304

After a few days of living together peacefully, Mamie started to let go of the tension she’d been holding in her heart. Most evenings after work, she’d go straight home and spend time with Garth. Even Ladd had nothing to complain about anymore.

“Scott, because of your job, I know you can’t throw a huge wedding. But after the ceremony, why don’t we invite your friends and colleagues over for a little get-together at home? You and Mamie deserve a real celebration.” Ladd suggested, trying to be helpful.

“There’s really no need,” Scott replied calmly.

“Dad, let’s not give anyone a reason to talk,” he added, looking at his father.

Ladd just felt bad for Mamie. “Alright, but I’ll make sure Mamie gets a thick red envelope,” he said, half-joking, half-serious.

When Ladd handed Mamie a bank card, she immediately tried to give it back. She didn’t even need to check—she could guess there was at least a million on it.

“Mamie, there’s ten million in here. It’s just my way of saying thank you, and sorry you have to go through all this.”

The card felt like it was burning a hole in her hand. She took it out of politeness, then, as soon as she could, walked over to Scott’s nightstand and set it down.

“This is for you. I really can’t accept it.”

Scott smiled a little. “It’s my dad’s way of showing he cares. Just keep it.”

“Scott, you know with my job, I can’t take that money either.”

Mamie sighed, feeling helpless. “Fine, we’ll just save it for Garth’s future.”

Scott reached into his drawer and pulled out another card. “This one has my salary and some extra from investments. Use it for whatever we need at home. That other card, you can use for big purchases or invest it however you want. Don’t stress, my dad’s way richer than you think.”

Mamie was speechless. Who gives out a ten-million-dollar wedding gift, anyway? Of course the family was loaded.
