My Ex-Husband Is Crazy About Me
Chapter 48 ~ Man In Front Door

Meanwhile, breakfast at the Christensen residence was cheerful and pleasant. I don't know what makes it different, but there's hardly any difference.

Although there were only two people, Vidrian and Savana, the warmth created seemed like a whole family. Really happy and full of laughter.

Seeing his daughter eating voraciously, Vidrian smiled in satisfaction. Although her body was small, the girl had a good appetite. He never thought about his food.

"Honey," call Vidrian in the middle of the meal.

"Yes?" Savana answered without looking

"Nearly your grandmother's sixty birthday" Vidrian said.

Savana. "I know," he answered. "So you want us all to celebrate in the village?" tanyanya, immediately understood what her father meant.

Grandma's birthday, always the same, is celebrated every year in the village with their small family. There was never a special celebration considering how simple life the old woman had been living.

"No" replied Vidrian. "I'll pick him up and we'll celebrate together here" he added.

"really?" ask Savana, don't believe it.

"Md. I've been talking about this with your two aunts."

"Really?" Savana asked once more, as if the answer was still not enough.

"Of course" he said. "You don't believe it?"

Savana smile. "I believe, Dadd," he answered in the end. "You want me to come with you to pick her up?" tanyanya while winking her eyes flirtatiously.

Usually, they would go together to the village, along with his two aunts with the driving father. But since Grandma's birthday is going to be celebrated here and dad's on duty to pick her up, isn't it natural that she would go along to pick her up?

"No," Vidrian answered quickly.

A smile recedes on Savana's lips. With a frown he asked "Why? You want to leave me alone at home?" It's not really a big deal living alone at home or not. After all, he's not really alone. There are still caregivers, housekeepers and drivers. However, the drama queen will start her acting. So for the sake of totality, he would try his best to melt his father's heart in order to allow him to come with him.

"Where is it possible? I never left you."

"You forgot, you always leave me alone." Savannah does not want to lose.

"I'll take you to your mother. Isn't that a fair offer?" Vidrian said calmly as if what he said was normal. Forgetting the fact that the topic of 'mother' is quite taboo in their family, let alone because Savannah does not have it.

Savana. "Mother?" muttered. He looked at Vidrian and smiled wryly. "You forgot, I don't have a mother." Discussing about 'mother' was like applying salt to her wound. Although he looked ordinary, he was very sad in his heart.

"You have it."

"Don't joke. I don't have it."

"Now you have it."

Savana. Now he has it? A mother? Is his father lying? Does he think lying to him is fun?

Sucks.

Savana pouted and refused to look at him again.

Vidrian's gaze, which could not be separated from Savana, could not help but catch the change in expression of his little daughter. But she was not sad, she smiled a little.

Since now the Savannah really has a mother, then it is fine to raise this topic. In addition, sooner or later the Savana will meet with Ruby. Just wait for time until it actually happens.

"I'm serious, Savana" said Vidrian after a long time seeing his daughter's drowning face. "You really have a mother. And I'll take you to him." This time he didn't want to play Savana anymore.

Savannah's view lifted. He observed Vidrian's facial expression to find out what tricks the man was playing. But other than a serious face with a warm gaze, he was unable to find anything else.

That he has a mother?

That Vidrian would deliver it to her?

No. gabe. Not likely.

She has no mother. And that fact will never change. He was tired of hoping and he didn't want to hope anymore.

The sky is dark.

Ruby closes the document and calls Julius to prepare a car for her.

Once the car is ready, Ruby exits her study and goes downstairs. He took over the key from Julius and said, “Go home and rest. You worked hard today. I I drove myself to home.” Ruby opened the car door while talking then threw her bag into the passenger seat, jumped into the driver's seat, and left.

When the car gets to the intersection, the traffic light turns red. Ruby looked up and happened to see news on the screen at the top of the building in front. It was about a financial company that was bought by SVN.

The man in the news was wearing a black suit. He had his hair neatly combed back. His eyes were sharp and his entire body was emitting an elite aura.

Ruby did not expect that the man-owned company had grown rapidly. Now, the men's business empire controlled several sectors. And it proves that his daughter's life so far has been fine, perhaps even better than he thought. She might be able to live like a princess in a fairy tale, full of happiness and love.

Ding!

It was a notification from a short message.

Ruby looked at her phone and got a short message from Veronica. “I'm with Maxen now. Let's go to your apartment and remember to make us dinner!”

Pensive ruby. He put his phone down, looked up, and turned on his car when the lights turned green.

The car goes into a high-class community. In cities like this, where every inch of land was as expensive as gold, ordinary apartments were already very expensive, not to mention high-end apartments.

She was just a girl born into a normal family. It is not very rich but it is enough to let it have one high-end apartment unit in this area. Not only that, his parents did not even sell him during their downfall. For some reason, they chose to keep this apartment rather than their own home.

A parent who loves his daughter.

Ruby got out of the elevator and pulled out the key.

Then he went to the door and opened it.

It has two bedrooms with a medium-sized living room. It's almost empty. There was only a table, a few chairs, and a sofa. The dark decoration theme makes it feel cooler.

Even Veronica, who has come here all the time in America, says it doesn't look like a place for a woman and she repeatedly says she doesn't like her taste.

Is correct. This place is so empty and cold. Looks bland and pathetic. But he likes it no matter what.

Ruby dropped her bag and went to the kitchen.

He lit a kettle of water and went to the living room to sit on the sofa. Staring out the window, he did not know why Veronica and Maxen wanted to meet at this place.

Perhaps because this place has a long history of their friendship, so even without him, Veronica and Maxen often come to this place and call him through video calls to later reminisce together.

What a sweet friendship.

When Ruby was still deep in thought, she heard the doorbell ring. He got up and went to open the door. “I'm a little tired today. If you want dinner, why don't you cook for yourself?"

As soon as the door opened, a high shadow covered the entrance.

Ruby looked up and saw the person in front of her. And his eyes contract.
