President’s Secret Obsession With Ex-wife

Victoria stood in the doorway of the restaurant, feeling nothing but a dilemma.

Gabriel was right behind her and whispered, “The woman sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window over there is my mom. She is a superb fighter, and if I walk out of here alive today, you’ll be my savior.”

The corner of Victoria’s mouth twitched, and subconsciously she looked down trying to hide her face.

But Eleanor Mercer was already looking over and noticing her gaze, Gabriel stiffened.

“Sorry to offend.” With that said, he took Victoria by the waist and led her towards Eleanor Mercer.

Eleanor Mercer’s eyes sharpened and she looked at the two persons up and down a few times.

Like a gentleman, Gabriel pulled out a chair for Victoria with a smile in his eyes.

“Mom, this is my girlfriend, an interior designer by profession. You can just call her Poppy.”

Victoria’s mind went blank. And it was only when she sat down that sanity slowly returned.

By the looks of Eleanor Mercer, it didn’t look like she knew her.

She sighed in relief. Luckily, she was about to break all ties with Nick, but now she would have to play hard to return Gabriel’s favor.

“Mrs. Mercer, hello.”

Victoria’s features were already delicate. Her skin was fair, and her temperament was cool, clearly not in the same category as those pretentious girls Gabriel used to like.

Eleanor Mercer withdrew her measuring gaze and soon relief crossed her eyes.

“Thought you were going to fool me with some random girl. Gaby, you’ve grown up.”

Gabriel did intend to find a random girl to come over. He went out of his way to get the help of his ex-ex-girlfriend, but he didn’t realize that he said the wrong thing while buying a gift and got slapped on the spot.

Luckily, the slap wasn’t very hard and the fingerprints were not visible for the time being.

“Mom, Poppy’s great. You know that house in cousin Serene Haven Estates, it’s being given to her to design now. So don’t worry, I’m really not dating any of those unsavory girls right now.”

The fact that Nick selected him showed how good her abilities were.

Eleanor Mercer grew more and more satisfied the more she looked at her, “It’s a meet and greet.”

She took a bracelet off her wrist and handed it over.

Victoria didn’t dare to take it at all, “Auntie, it’s too expensive for me to take, and I didn’t bring you a gift today.”

Eleanor Mercer gave Gabriel an angry look, “Did Gabriel not even get you a present?”

She looked at Victoria’s outfit, the fabric was good but the design was simple, and the bag in her hand was a brand that cost less than a few hundred dollars.

She directly put the bracelet on Victoria’s wrists, “Take it, this is what I give to my future daughter-in-law. Don’t feel pressured, I know my son’s temperament very well, he is still young and undefined. If you are afraid that you can’t go to the end, it’s fine, even if you split up, the gift I gave you, that’s still yours.”

Victoria pursed her bottom lip. She thought about returning it to Gabriel later on.

Eleanor Mercer looked at her son with relief, “Looks like getting you to Andrews Enterprise was the right thing to do.”

“Mom, I came here today to talk to you about this. It’s so busy at work I don’t even have much time to spend with Poppy. I don’t want to stay at Andrews Enterprise, why don’t you talk to Nick about it, as long as you say yes I promise to give you a grandchild within two years, really.”

Eleanor sent Gabriel to Andrews Enterprise for training, which was supposed to keep Gabriel away from the women who came near him.

Now that she knew Gabriel got a nice girlfriend, of course she wouldn’t let work screw this up.

Her gaze turned to Victoria in a gentle tone. “Poppy, you keep an eye on Gabriel for me, too, okay?”

Victoria nodded her head, her face light but extremely sincere, “Mrs. Mercer don’t worry, Gabriel is actually honest and righteous.”

Eleanor heard this and laughed softly at Gabriel, “Well, you don’t have to work at Andrews Enterprise then. Take Poppy out more often and develop a relationship.”

Gabriel’s eyes lit up, the goal of the day was accomplished!

The three of them finished their meal peacefully. After speaking with Eleanor, Gabriel took Victoria by the wrist and left.

After getting into the car, he released her hand and said, ” Sorry! Sorry! My mom disliked those girlfriends I had before and was only mildly attracted to my ex-ex-girlfriend, with whom I originally wanted to act.”

Victoria removed the bracelet from her wrist, “I’m giving it back to you. I really can’t accept it. Looking at the style and pattern, it should be very expensive, and your mom also said that it’s for her future daughter-in-law.”

Seeing that she was so persistent, Gabriel took it back, “Don’t worry, I’ll introduce you to more orders afterward, and those sets of properties under my name will be given to you to design. By the way, where do you live now, I’ll send you back first.”

Victoria gave the address of her apartment.

What neither of them knew was that after they left, Eleanor Mercer went to Andrews Enterprise and was sitting in Nick’s office at this point.

“Auntie, what are you doing here all of a sudden?”

Eleanor Mercer sat down on the couch with a smile in her eyes as she thought about the girl she had just seen.

“It sure is good to have Gabriel come to you and find a girlfriend that actually satisfies me.”

Nick’s brow furrowed a bit as he heard Eleanor Mercer continue, “Just had my first meeting with the two of them. I didn’t ask too detailed questions, but I heard Gabriel say that the girl was designing a house for you. Have you been in contact with her? How’s the family and abilities?”
