Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1327

Enoch slammed his teacup down. "What nonsense are you spouting? This is the head of the Houston family, not Andrew."

Yvette blinked. "Not Andrew? But Debra's..."

"The tea's cold," Enoch interrupted her. "Fetch a new pot."

He shoved the teapot toward her. When she hesitated, he ordered a maid nearby, "Take her upstairs."

Yvette reluctantly left, glancing back at Debra.

Debra watched, sensing something was off.

"Apologies for the scene," Enoch said. "My wife hasn't been right since falling ill over a decade ago. She often rambles nonsense."

"A decade ago?" Debra pounced on the details.

"Just an illness. Don't read into it," Enoch replied.

The housekeeper approached. "Dinner is ready, sir."

"Please join me for dinner." Enoch gestured, then ordered, "Go fetch Randy and Miss Mathis."

Debra subtly pressed Marion's arm. He squeezed her hand to reassure her. Presumably, they had bought Randy and Erica enough time.

Right on cue, the duo burst in from the backyard. Erica shot Debra a triumphant wink.

Debra took the hint and stood up. "Thank you, Mr. Osborne, but we should leave."

Erica added, "You're more like his grandson. The way you act around him. It's like a mouse meeting a cat. I'm not exaggerating."

Debra cut in, "Randy, what happened to your mother ten years ago?"

"She's not ill but traumatized," he replied, gripping the wheel. "Have I told you about her family?"

Debra and Erica both shook their heads.

"My mom is from a branch of the Potter family," he said.

The revelation shocked everyone.

Randy continued, "Years back, there was a kidnapping case. Jordan was taken. Andrew's legs got wrecked, and their parents died in a car crash. The blow was too much for the Potter family and my mother. She lost it and couldn't recognize anyone for years. She has only gotten better in recent years, but her mind is still fuzzy."
