Chapter 20 Filip's Ex-Wife
Chapter 20 Filip's Ex-Wife
The birthday party of Frances was organized by Austin. The guest list for that night was basically
confirmed, and the invitations had been sent out, except for one person.
It was hard for Austin to decide whether to invite Starry or not.
He, as an outsider, could tell that Frances liked Starry.
But now that Starry and Filip had divorced, should he send the invitation card to Starry? If he did, he
couldn't confirm whether Starry would come or not, so he had to leave the question to Filip.
"Mr. Pearson."
Austin looked at Filip and inexplicably felt guilty.
Filip looked up at him, "Go ahead."
"Do you want to invite Ms. Bradley to old lady's eighty-year-old birthday?"
Filip, thinking of the words of Frances, frowned, "Yes."
Austin nodded, "Okay, I'll have the invitation delivered to Ms. Bradley."
"Wait."
With a cold face, Filip said, "Give me the invitation."
Austin was stunned. "Mr. Pearson, are you going to deliver the invitation to Ms. Bradley in person?"
"What's wrong with that?"
Of course, Austin didn't dare to say no. He not only agreed, but also felt happy.
After all, Filip personally sent the invitation, Ms. Bradley would at least show some respect. If old lady
saw Ms. Bradley, she should be happy.
Being Afraid that Filip might go back on his words, Austin put down the invitation and left in a hurry.
Filip took the invitation, but the name of the "invitee" was still empty. With a cold face, he reluctantly
wrote down the two words "Miss Starry" with a pen.
Starry stayed in the villa for five or six days without going out. She didn't change her clothes and go out
to buy food until all the in the fridge was almost run out of.
It snowed last night, and the dead branches in the yard were covered with snow. Looking at it from the
balcony, she found the scene bizarrely artistic.
After a while, Starry turned around and went back to her room.
She stood outside for a while, and her hands were a little cold. She picked up the hot-water bottle on
the sofa and slowly walked into the kitchen, wanting to make a meal.
As soon as she put down hot-water bottle, the doorbell rang.
Starry frowned, picked up the hot-water bottle again and went downstairs unhurriedly in cotton slippers.
When Starry saw Filip, she was a little surprised. "Mr. Pearson?"
Mr. Pearson?
Filip's face turned livid at her words. Not long ago, she called him Filip, but now she called him Mr.
Pearson.
She distanced herself from him so quickly.
With a straight face, Filip handed the invitation to her, "Grandma will turn eighty years old this week.
Come to the party if you have time. She'll be happy to see you."
Starry looked down at the invitation card in her hand, "Oh, thank you."
After saying that, she took the invitation and opened it. When she looked up, she found that Filip was
still there. Starry was stunned and asked, "Anything else?"
Hearing this, Filip's face turned even colder.
He personally sent her the invitation card in the snowy day, but she only said "thank you" instead of
inviting him to have a cup of tea.
"No."
Filip took a deep breath, turned around and left.
But after two steps, he stopped.
When he turned around and saw Starry, who was about to close the door, Filip's heart was filled with
anger. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
He looked at Starry expressionlessly, "Since we have divorced, you don't have to please grandma
anymore. If you don't want to come to this birthday party, then don't force yourself."
Starry replied indifferently, "I see."
Then she closed the door gently and went back to the villa with an umbrella.
Standing at the door and looking at Starry's back, Filip clenched his fists. The joints on the back of her
hands were clear.
He watched her walk into the villa and then turned back to the car. Thinking of the calm look in Starry's
eyes when she looked at him just now, Filip felt a little unhappy.
He took out the cigarette box, picked up a cigarette and lit it up. The window was half open. The cold
wind blew in with the snow. Filip took a drag on the cigarette and drove away after a long time.
On the day of Frances's eighty-year-old birthday party, all the people in the Araria City who had some
connections with the Pearson family came, and those who didn't have any connections tried their best
to join the party.
And many people who had business with the Pearson family from other cities also came to celebrate
the birthday of the Frances.
Starry arrived at the hotel in the red supercar. As soon as the eye-catching sports car entered the hotel
gate, it attracted a lot of attention.
Starry took the car key, took the gift box, opened the door and got out of the car.
The light outside was dim. Many people couldn't see clearly that it was Starry at the beginning. They
only saw a woman in a long dress and overcoat walking slowly and gracefully.
Today, Starry wore a haute couture pinkish gown with embroidered red flowers. It was high-class
enough but also graceful, suitable to the occasion and won't steal the spotlight.
She was also styled today. Her hair was half tied, and she was wearing exquisite accessories. Although
the makeup on her face was not heavy, the red lips brought out her stunning facial features.
She came with presents in her hand. As soon as she entered the hall, she attracted the attention of the
people around her subconsciously.
"Who is she? She is so beautiful. She is so stunning in this long dress."
"Starry Bradly! Filip's ex-wife! Why is she here?"
People around them were talking about her, but Starry ignored them and walked inside in her high
heels.
At this time, Filip, who was greeting guests, also saw her.
Although he didn't like Starry, he had to admit that Starry's face was really God's work.
The gown went well with her figure. With her gorgeous face and the indifferent look in her eyes,
together with the dress, she seemed like a noble goddess.
He had thought that she wouldn't come, but he didn't expect that Starry really came with a gift.
Well, it seemed that she was just pretending that day.
If she really didn't care about him, there was no need for her to come here and suffer so much criticism
just to please Frances.
Did she really think he was a fool?
Filip turned his gaze and looked at Austin, "Take Starry to see grandma."
Austin nodded and walked to Starry, "Ms. Bradley."
Austin was amazed by her beauty.
Starry smiled faintly, "This is a gift for old lady."
Austin came to his senses, "Since this is a gift for the old lady, you'd better give it to her in person."
Starry thought for a while, "Where is the old lady?"
After all, she had been the daughter-in-law of Pearson's family for five years. Frances seemed to
dislike her, but old lady didn't make things difficult for her.
Now that the old woman was eighty years old, Starry would naturally come to congratulate her.
Otherwise, it would be too ungrateful.
"Ms. Bradley, this way, please."
Starry nodded and followed Austin upstairs.
Not far away, Lucia looked at Starry with a pale face.
Why was she here?
