Chapitre 108: Problem

Michelle met Riley at a secluded area of a nearby cafe.

After their drinks were served, Riley cleared his throat.

"So, what are we talking about?"

Michelle traced the rim of the cup with her finger. "My mom and dad bought a house."

"Oh...that's good. At least they could finally check out of their hotel." Riley flashed her a smile.

Understanding his confusion, Michelle shook her head. "No, no...they bought US A HOUSE!"

"What?! Why would they do that?" His apartment actually has a sentimental value to him. He has a lot of memories in it, good and bad. However, now is not a time to tell that to his new girlfriend who is talking care of the couple dogs he had with his ex.

Michelle began tapping her fingers against the porcelain cup.

Before she could answer, he spoke. "Regarding your mother's complaint about our marriage, I have a solution."

The last four words in his sentence was masked by her synchronous interruption. "We have a problem."
