Ivy Thompson, the lost fourth young lady of the Thompson family.
What Damian Thompson said was both a reminder and a warning.
Molly Walker is not only his ex-wife but also a member of the Thompson family.
“l know she is Ivy Thompson, but it seems like you haven’t treated her as family either.” Michael Gallagher’s voice was low and gentle, and his seemingly casual remark hit the nail on the head.
Damian Thompson narrowed his eyes and thought of his younger brother, Nicholas Thompson.
He restrained his smile, and his voice suddenly became colder and deeper: ‘1 1 don’t care about others, but as long as I’m here, 1 won’t let her be wronged.” “Mr. Gallagher, when I asked you at the hospital, you had already given up.”
“You have a bad memory, and I don’t mind reminding you again that you were the one who gave up on her first!”
Michael Gallagher’s dark pupils constricted like a deep vortex.
He slowly lowered his eyes and swallowed, the low and hoarse words imprisoning a ferocious beast: “1 regret it.” Damian Thompson was taken aback.
Regret?
In his impression, whether in the past or now, Michael Gallagher has always been a person with strong self-esteem. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have fallen out with his sister to this extent.
But now, this “I regret it,” is he admitting his mistake?
Damian Thompson chuckled helplessly, “It’s not that I don’t want to let you see her, but she doesn’t want to see you.”
Michael Gallagher nodded. Just when Damian Thompson thought he had given up, Michael Gallagher bypassed him and strode towards the door.
‘ Damian Thompson didn’t react for a moment.
“Hey… Michael Gallagher!” Damian Thompson was anxious. At this moment, Molly Walker collided with him head-on.
But there was also a man standing next to Molly Walker.
The man wore a black sweater with casual pants, a long windbreaker covering his knees, and a beret, looking both casual and artistic.
When he saw Michael Gallagher, a faint smile appeared on Jeremy Norman’s face: “Michael Gallagher, long time no see.”
The last time he saw Michael Gallagher was at a national math competition, where he lost to Michael and reluctantly took second place.
Michael Gallagher had the opportunity to represent Orientopia in international competitions, but for some reason, he gave up.
This incident left a deep impression on Jeremy Norman.
Losing to an extravagant youngster was his shame.
Later, when Michael Gallagher took over the Gallagher family, he was said to have changed his ways. However, he only started paying attention to Michael since news of his romance with Molly Walker came to light.
Michael Gallagher glanced at him and didn’t pick up the conversation. Instead, he said to Molly Walker, “Do you have time now? I want to talk to you about something.”
Talk, about what?
About Isabelle Richardson?
Molly Walker’s heart sank, and she shook her head woodenly: “No time.”
Even if she had time, she didn’t.
Isabelle Richardson was his fiancée.
He probably wouldn’t forgive her.
She hadn’t thought about getting his forgiveness either.
Michael Gallagher’s expression remained unchanged, and he looked at her steadily: “Are you avoiding me?”
Molly Walker: ‘ .
“Mr. Gallagher, even though you are Miss Thompson’s ex-husband, you should pay attention to your own status. Clinging and pestering can be annoying.” Jeremy Norman’s beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowed into a crescent shape, seemingly not understanding the warning in Michael Gallagher’s eyes, he said to Molly Walker, “Miss Thompson, you mentioned earlier that you would show me the scenic spots in Sunnydale. Let’s go now.”
Molly Walker nodded, not even looking at Michael Gallagher, and said to
Damian Thompson, “I’m leaving first, and I won’t be back for lunch.”
After saying this, she hurriedly walked away, as if trying to shake off someone, her steps quick.
This time, Michael Gallagher didn’t cling or pester.
Damian Thompson patted his shoulder knowingly: “Some people are hard to catch once you’ve missed them.”
Hard to chase doesn’t mean you can’t chase.
Michael Gallagher looked in the direction Molly Walker had left, and his pupils seemed to deepen a bit.
No one knew what he was thinking.
When they had walked away, Molly Walker finally breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Jeremy Norman and said apologetically, “Thank you. I’m sorry for using you just now.”
Jeremy Norman waved his hand, a smile on his handsome face: “It’s not using,
I was willing to help. I had too much to drink last night and stayed at the Thompson’s overnight. I should be the one saying thank you.”
Jeremy Norman’s response gave Molly Walker a good impression.
One of the organization’s missions mentioned Jeremy Norman. Although she was now in charge and didn’t have to take on missions anymore, she still wanted to accept some.
If she only stayed in management and never went to the grassroots level, she would easily lose control of the content and grassroots.
In her work, she preferred to be in control.
Since the mission included getting close to Jeremy Norman, she would take the initiative to approach him.
“Miss Thompson… Can I call you Ivy in the future?” Jeremy asked.
Molly Walker was silent for a moment, and then said softly, “Call me Molly.”
She had grown accustomed to this name and couldn’t completely adjust to a sudden change.
Jeremy Norman nodded: “Molly, do you still like him?”
Hearing the words “Molly,” Molly Walker was stunned for a moment.
As for liking Michael Gallagher…
She lowered her eyelashes and chuckled lightly: “l don’t like him anymore.” She didn’t like him anymore, not as much as before.
But the person she once liked is like a tree rooted in a place, and she couldn’t move it. But she would never water that tree again.
Over time, the tree would slowly wither, right?
Molly Walker didn’t see the surprise in Jeremy Norman’s eyes after she said she didn’t like him anymore.
He didn’t like competing for love. If she still liked Michael Gallagher, he would have backed off.
But if she didn’t like him…
Then he had to bravely pursue.
“Molly, can l…” Just when he was about to confess his feelings, a woman’s voice suddenly interrupted him.
“Molly.”
Molly Walker looked at the person in surprise: “Mom!”
After calling out, she immediately shut her mouth and quickly glanced at Lana Lewis’s face. Seeing that she wasn’t angry, Molly Walker had a vague idea in her heart.
Was her mother-in-law’s memory back?
“I have something to talk to you about.” Lana Lewis’s expression was serious, and she smiled at Jeremy Norman, “I’m sorry for interrupting you, but I have important matters to discuss with my daughter-in-law. Can you give us some time?”
Jeremy looked at Molly Walker, and when he saw her nod, he laughed: “No problem, Auntie, you and Molly have a chat.”
Lana Lewis looked at Jeremy Norman a few times and recognized him immediately.
As the heir of the Norman family, Jeremy often appeared on news. Although she rarely got involved in Capital City affairs, she had also spent time in Capital City when she was young.
Now seeing Jeremy Norman, it was as if she was recalling the past, and her gaze became somewhat distant.
It wasn’t until Jeremy Norman walked away that she remembered the purpose of her visit today.
“Molly, my memory has returned.”
Upon confirmation, Molly Walker smiled with relief: “That’s good.”
Lana Lewis hesitated and started to speak, “Regarding the time I was harsh with you, ah, I must have messed up my mind. Don’t take those things to heart…
“It’s okay, Mom, I know.” Molly Walker has always respected this mother-in-law.
In the Gallagher family, Michael Gallagher was her beacon, and her mother-in-law had been her armor and a rare warmth in recent years.
She knew that Lana Lewis wouldn’t come to her without reason. “Mom, did you come to find me this time because of something?”
