THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 223

Irene’s feelings for Caitlin went beyond simple affection.

More than anything, she admired her.

That’s why, in Irene’s mind, Caitlin would surely know how to help with Keira’s migraines.

But Keira just shook her head. “It’s nothing serious. My headaches haven’t flared up lately, and I don’t want to trouble myself traveling now that the weather’s turned cold.”

The truth was, unless something involved Freya, Keira hadn’t been interested in much of anything lately.

Since Keira refused, Irene didn’t press her. “Alright then. When spring comes, I’ll come to the city and take you out to Silverhaven for a change of scenery.”

“Sounds good,” Keira replied, nodding.

The two were still chatting when Amanda Gonzales approached, Ann Templeton at her side.

“Mom. Irene,” Amanda called out.

“Grandma. Lady Irene,” Ann chimed in respectfully.

Irene gave them a polite nod.

Keira looked at Amanda in surprise. “Amanda, I thought you were heading back to Heartwood Vale with Gavin today?”

Heartwood Vale was Gavin Templeton’s hometown. Every year, right before the holidays, Amanda accompanied her husband home to honor his family’s traditions.

Today was supposed to be the day Amanda left.

“Gavin had some last-minute business to take care of, so we decided to leave the day after tomorrow,” Amanda explained, pausing briefly. “Oh, and Mom—Ann’s not coming with us this year.”

“That’s fine. You and Gavin can make your own arrangements,” Keira said, rarely interfering in her daughter and son-in-law’s family matters.

Amanda continued, “Ann wants to take a trip to Neon Spire before the holiday.”

Neon Spire?
