The Unexpected Heir Weight of her Deception
Chapter fifty twoAlexa turned back, her expression now attentive as Mrs. Thompson outlined the first task. "The initial challenge," Mrs. Thompson began, her voice steady, "is to convince him that you can assist him in moving past his divorce.""So, he's a divorcee," Alexa inquired, seeking clarification, to which Mrs. Thompson simply nodded in confirmation."His wife has recently divorced him, leaving him hesitant to embrace the next chapter of his life," Mrs. Thompson elaborated, a hint of disdain evident in her tone.

The Unexpected Heir Conflicting Priorities
Chapter fifty threeMr. Thompson's son spoke with a mix of defiance and hurt in his voice, pushing back against his mother's expectations. "I appreciate your concerns, but I don't think it's needed.
