Remarry Missions: Catching My Naughty Ex-Wife

Chapter 32

Chapter 32 A Gift Damara stood at the restaurant entrance, feeling caught in a dilemma. Payne was behind her, whispering, “The woman sitting by the floor-to- ceiling window over there is my mom. She’s a formidable one, you know. If I can survive today, I’ll owe you a big one.” Damara’s lips twitched, and she instinctively wanted to lower her head to hide her face, but Jessica had already noticed her presence. Sensing Jessica’s gaze, Payne visibly tensed up. “Excuse me. He said and then took hold of Damara’s waist, leading her towards Jessica. Jessica’s eyes were sharp as she scrutinized the two of them. Payne, acting like a gentleman, pulled out a chair for Damara with a smile. “Mom, this is my girlfriend, Penny. She’s an interior designer.” Damara’s mind went blank, but her composure slowly returned as she settled into her seat. Jessica seemed not to recognize her, which was a relief. Damara relaxed. Fortunately, she’d soon cut all ties with the Robinson Family. For now, she had no choice but to put on a show to repay Payne’s favor. “Nice to meet you, Mrs. Robinson.” Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Jessica withdrew her scrutinizing gaze; there was a touch of approval in her eyes. “I thought you would bring any random woman to fool me, Payne. I’m glad you’re mature now. Payne had indeed planned to bring just any woman, even going as far as asking his ex-girlfriend for

help. However, he inadvertently said the wrong thing while buying a gift and got slapped. Fortunately, the slap wasn’t too severe, and no fingerprints were visible for now. “Mom, Penny is outstanding. Do you know my cousin’s A&U Villa? She’s the one in charge of the design now. So, rest assured, and I’m not dating any shady girls now.” The fact that Abner chose Damara showcased her capabilities. Jessica grew more satisfied with Damara. The more she looked, the more she liked her. “This is a gift for you. She took a bracelet off her wrist and handed it to Damara. Damara didn’t dare to accept it. “Thanks, but I can’t accept that. I didn’t bring any gifts today.” Jessica scolded Payne with a displeased look, “Payne, didn’t you buy her any gift?” Judging by Damara’s attire, while the fabric was of good quality, the design was simple, and her handbag was from a brand that cost less than 300 dollars.

He’s still young and unsettled. If you’re afraid that your relationship might not last, it’s alright. Even if you break up, the gift will still be yours.” Damara pursed her lips, planning to return the bracelet to Payne later. Jessica looked pleased as she glanced at her son. “Looks like sending you to Robinson Group was the right decision.” “Speaking of that, I was going to tell you about it. There’s too much work at Robinson Group, and I hardly have time to spend with Penny. I don’t want to work at Robinson Group anymore. Can you talk to Abner? If you help me this time, I promise I’ll ensure you have a grandchild within two years.” Jessica had sent Payne to Robinson Group for experience, hoping he’d avoid his previous flings. Now that she knew he had found a decent girlfriend, she couldn’t let his job affect their relationship. Her gaze shifted to Damara, and she spoke gently. “Penny, can you keep an eye on Payne for me?”

Damara nodded, her expression calm but genuinely sincere. “Don’t worry. Payne is a reliable and righteous guy.” Hearing Damara’s words, Jessica chuckled lightly and said to Payne, “Alright, you don’t need to go to Robinson Group later. You guys can go out, have fun, and bond.” Payne’s eyes lit up; it seemed he had accomplished his goal today! 13:33 Chapter 32 A Gift After a pleasant meal, Payne said goodbye to Jessica and held Damara’s wrist, leading her away. 140 Vouchers Once inside the car, he finally let go of her. “Sorry about that. My mom hates my ex-girlfriends, except for one of them, so I was trying to get her to pretend to be my girlfriend.” Damara took off the bracelet from her wrist. “You can have this back.” “I really can’t accept it. Judging by the color and pattern, it must be expensive, and your mother said it’s meant for her future daughter-in- law.” Since she insisted, Payne reluctantly took the bracelet. “As I promised, I’ll introduce more projects to you later. I’ll have you design the properties I own as well. By the way, where do you live now? I’ll give you a ride.” Damara told him her apartment address. Little did they know that while they were returning, Jessica had gone to Robinson Group and was now sitting in Abner’s office. “What brings you here?” Jessica sat on the sofa, smiling at the thought of the girl she had just seen. “Sending Payne to work here was a good idea, and I’m quite satisfied with his new girlfriend.” Payne had a new girlfriend? Abner frowned slightly and listened as Jessica continued, “I met her for the first time just now. I didn’t

ask much, but Payne said she designs houses for you. Have you met her? Do you know about her background and ability?”
