The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback novel Chapter 495

When Darin looked away, his eyes landed on a Bentley parked across the street.

Colton spoke up, his tone casual. “By the way, your mom told me you two had a big fight. No matter what happens, she's still your mother. There's no such thing as a grudge that lasts forever between a parent and child.”

Darin couldn't help but laugh to himself, a soundless, bitter sort of amusement.

Just then, his phone started buzzing. He pulled it out and nodded at Colton. “Dad, let me grab this call.”

“Go ahead,” Colton replied.

Darin answered, “Hello?”

On the other end, Max sounded impatient. “When are you getting here?”

“Something came up, so it'll be a while,” Darin said.

Max just made a noise of acknowledgment.

Colton caught a bit of the voice through the phone. It seemed familiar, but since it was only a short exchange, he didn't dwell on it.

Once Darin hung up, Colton glanced over. “Work stuff?”

“Nothing urgent,” Darin said.

“Then let's eat first. My treat tonight.”

Darin just nodded. “Sounds good.”

They waved the waiter over and placed their orders.

Dinner passed quietly, a comfortable routine between them. When they finished, Darin offered to drive Colton home.

Colton shook his head. “I've got a driver waiting. Don't worry about me. Come over for dinner sometime, alright?” He patted Darin’s shoulder, lingering a little.

Darin smiled. “I will.”

Colton hesitated, then added, “Don't push yourself too hard at work. Take care of your health.”

“I will, Dad. Promise.”
