Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 997:

While she was lost in her thoughts, her phone buzzed with another message from Connor.

“So, when did you get to know Everett?”

She replied quickly, “I met him today.”

Connor’s response came fast, disbelief evident in his words.

“Just today? And he’s already so nice to you? Do I resemble a toddler to you? You really think I’m that gullible?”

Moments later, another message arrived, sharper this time.

“Marissa, be honest. What’s your relationship with him?”

Keeping her composure, Marissa replied, “I don’t owe you any explanations, Connor.”

His reply was quick and firm.

“You’re the mother of my kids. What you do matters to me, and I deserve to know.”

Unfazed, she shot back, “We’re divorced.”noveldrama

Connor’s message came through, heavy with bitterness.

“Just because we’re divorced doesn’t mean you can cozy up to other men. You’re still the mother of my kids, Marissa. If you go there, I’ll make sure he’s out of the picture. Don’t test me.”

Marissa let out a sharp breath, her fingers tapping impatiently on the screen.

“Connor, that’s absurd. Can you act like a mature man?”

But Connor didn’t back down.

“Last chance, Marissa—what’s going on with you and Everett? If you won’t tell me, I’ll show up at that banquet myself. If your dad’s big day falls apart, don’t blame me.”

Marissa’s jaw clenched as she shot back, “Is that supposed to intimidate me?”

Connor’s reply was cold.

“Take it however you want.”

Marissa rolled her eyes, frustration bubbling over.

“Fine, Connor. I’m not hiding anything. Everett and I have a complicated history, and it’s been weighing on me.”

Connor pressed for more.

“Explain it, Marissa.”
