Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 714

I couldn't help but sigh. "You're like my big brother, spoiling me to the point where I can ignore everything about the company. I can just push all the responsibility onto you.

“Honestly, if I were running this company alone, who knows what state it would be in? It'll probably be bankrupt for the 80th time!"

I half-playfully said, "With you, everything is different. I can just kick back and relax, leaving everything to you. But you must not forget our agreement. You can't leave the company."

He gave me an indulgent glance and muttered, "You're blackmailing me!"

I smirked triumphantly. At this moment, I felt like a child.

"Alright then." I asked him, "When have I ever reneged on what I promised you?"

"When have you ever fulfilled what you promised me?" He countered, looking at me.

"I indulged you!" He didn't look at me, sighed wearily, and said, "Alright, I'll go back to Bibury. I'll bring Joyce with me."

He seemed to firm up his decision.

"Then I'll take you to the airport tomorrow," I quickly replied.

"Why do I feel like something's off about what you say?" He looked at me, displeased. "It sounds like you're afraid I won't leave!"

When I thought about Nocturnia, it was a complete blank, a completely unfamiliar place.

But what about Bibury?

It didn't feel like it either. In my memory, Bibury was only three years of high school. For me, Foswood carried ten years of memories. It was the longest time in my recollection, but I felt that it sometimes rejected me, becoming unfamiliar and lacking warmth.

I didn't respond to his question, so Ryan seemed to understand my inner thoughts and suddenly changed the subject. "How are things with Matthew going? Have you handled them?"
