Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Colin frowned slightly and an extremely uncomfortable feeling filled his heart.

He glanced at Michelle and said indifferently, “You don’t need to invite me again in the future. I majored in biology and I can’t appreciate such high art.”

Then he added, “I’m just a worldling. I Like those things that most men like.”

The implication was that he only cared about women and sex.

Colin’s words made Michelle’s smile fade away.

He said he could not appreciate such high art to show he didn’t like her.

Colleen glared at Colin to warn him to mind his Language.

Colin picked up the phone and stood up, “You eat first. I’m going out for a cigarette.”

“What? Cigarette?” Colleen exclaimed from behind, “You smoke?”

Colleen Donovan couldn’t believe it.

In her eyes, her son was always an obedient child who had never smoked or even played video games as he grew up.

He had never developed such bad habits though a lot of other boys around him began to smoke or drink alcohol back in the school years. But now Colin said he would go out for a cigarette.

Colin simply ignored what his mother said and left the room.

After he closed the door behind him, Colleen took a few deep breaths to calm down.

Michelle gave her a cup of water and said, “Don’t get angry, Mrs Smith. It is quite normal for a man to smoke, isn’t it?” Michelle knew exactly what was in Colleen‘s mind.

Colleen drank a mouthful of water and sighed, “I didn’t know he smokes. He has never smoked before he got back from college.

Michelle continued, “He had been studying hard these years so he might have learned to smoke to relieve his pressure.

Colleen patted her hand and said, “You’re so sweet. Every single word you said is what I want to hear, Michelle.”

Michelle smiled timidly, “Thank you, Mrs. Smith.” Colleen thought of Colin’s attitude toward Michelle and started to criticize her son, “Colin has always been a quiet and introvert kid. He didn’t know how to please a girl. Please be more patient with him, Michelle.”

Michelle smiled, “I won’t, Mrs. Smith. But I like his personality and his firm attitude. It means he won’t get seduced by other women easily.”

Michelle’s words had won Colleen’s heart. Colleen asked her, “You really think so?”

“Of course,” Michelle said sincerely, “I know he doesn’t like me. But I think I will move him through persistence.”

Michelle had a glimpse at Colleen and continued, “Zuri White became his girlfriend in this way, didn’t her?”

As she mentioned Zuri, Colleen’s face seemed a bit weird. She didn’t want to mention Zuri, especially in Michelle’s presence.
