Return, My Love: Wooing the Neglected Ex-Wife

Chapter 717:

That evening, their meeting with Amy wrapped up without any issues.noveldrama

As they left, the group split into two vehicles. Fannie sat in the passenger seat next to Jett.

Selma was about to climb into the car when Fannie spoke up.

“Selma, would you mind finding another way back? I need a moment alone with Jett.”

Selma hesitated, taking a step back. “Sure.” Her gaze flickered toward Jett, who appeared just as uncomfortable.

The entire evening had been unusually quiet, the tension palpable between them.

As they drove off, Jett was consumed by thoughts of confessing, of coming clean and seeking Fannie’s forgiveness. Even if it hadn’t been Bobby in the restroom, the truth might eventually reach Fannie’s ears. What would he do then?

But confessing carried its own set of risks. Fannie was a woman of strong principles, with no patience for lies, even if the apology was genuine. Jett wrestled with the dilemma, weighing which loss would be easier to bear.

Fannie, adjusting her dress, broke the silence.

“If you have time next week, I’d like to visit your parents.”

Jett’s grip tightened on the steering wheel as he responded quickly. “Sure.”

After a moment’s pause, he asked, “Why do you suddenly want to visit them?”

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen Dulce and your parents,” she said evenly, a gentle smile playing on her lips. “I think it’s important for our parents to meet under these circumstances.”

Jett couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

“Fifi, do you mean—”

“It’s time we think about the next steps for our relationship.”

His surprise quickly turned to delight. “Of course, Fifi.” So this was the conversation she wanted to have.

Fannie, seemingly unaware of any tension, was ready to discuss marriage.

Jett, however, couldn’t shake the thought of Selma’s expectations. Perhaps if he played along, it would keep her quiet. Maybe, just maybe, they could move forward as if nothing had ever happened.

Selma took a day off from the film set to visit the company. Her plan was to finalize the contract; Amy’s variety show had already secured her participation, and both Selma and Judie were slated to be involved.

Since the show would feature two female celebrities, Selma carefully chose her outfit, aiming for elegance without appearing too calculated.

Upon her arrival in the conference room, she spotted a few familiar faces. To her surprise, Judie wasn’t there, but Mayer was.

The boss had hinted at creating a romantic subplot involving Selma and a male artist for promotional purposes. It seemed Mayer might be that artist.

Recently returned from abroad, Mayer showed great respect to industry veterans.
