Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon novel Chapter 430

“Andie, come to Mommy.”

Grace’s voice softened a little, but a trace of anger still lingered in her tone.

Lyman quickly got out of the car and pulled Grace away from behind.

Seizing the moment, Grace tried to wrap her arms around Lyman’s waist, but he instinctively stepped back.

Undeterred, Grace clung to him again.

Lyman pushed her away, careful not to use too much force. “Grace, calm down.”

Effie held Andie in her arms, quietly watching the tense exchange between Lyman and Grace.

Grace glanced up, her eyes locking on Effie. A sly smirk tugged at her lips, and a flicker of challenge sparked in her gaze.

She expected to see anger on Effie’s face, but instead, Effie simply smiled back at her, unbothered.

Grace froze, confusion flickering in her eyes. What was Effie playing at? Did she love Lyman or not? If she did, why wasn’t she reacting at all?

While Grace was still caught up in her confusion, Lyman took the chance to push her aside.

“Enough, Grace. Andie’s not doing well right now. Let’s just go home,” Lyman said firmly.

Grace could only mutter, “Fine.”

In the end, Lyman insisted that Grace sit in the backseat with Effie, while he took the passenger seat up front.

Grace stared at Effie the entire ride, as if she could drill holes right through her.

Effie met her gaze with a calm, fearless smile, completely unfazed.
