THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 449

Carla brushed Farrell’s hand aside. “Figure it out yourself! I warned your grandmother before—opportunities only come once. If you missed your chance, that’s on you. It has nothing to do with us!”

She and Old Mrs. Ryan had tried to talk sense into him, but Farrell just wouldn’t listen.

Now he regrets it?

What’s the point?

“Mom!” Farrell took a step forward, grabbing Carla’s hand. “Are you really my mother?”

Carla turned to her son, caught between anger and exasperation. No matter what, Farrell was still her son—and truth be told, she genuinely liked Caitlin.

After thinking it over, Carla relented a little. “Go back. Talk to your grandmother.”

Old Mrs. Ryan and Keira had been close friends for years. If Old Mrs. Ryan could put in a good word for him, maybe there was still hope.

Farrell realized she had a point and hurried after her as she walked out.

Mother and son soon got into the car and drove away.

—Meanwhile—

In the Gonzales family’s living room, Keira was still fuming, even after Carla and Farrell had left.

If Farrell were just a kid, maybe she could excuse him. But he was twenty-seven! How could a grown man act so irresponsibly?

Just then, Caitlin returned from outside, unaware of what had happened. She hurried over and slipped an arm around Keira’s shoulders. “Grandma, what happened? Who upset you?”

Keira didn’t answer right away. Instead, she turned to Caitlin and asked, “Freya, do you know Farrell?”

Keira was no fool. She knew exactly why Farrell had come running back to apologize. She also realized that Farrell’s feelings for Caitlin hadn’t come out of nowhere—they’d grown over time.
