Tania knew that she had been through a lot recently, so she didn't bother her and just waited for her to straighten out her thinking.
Lois didn't move until the sun set. Tania pulled her into the car and drove her home.
As soon as Lois returned to her rental house, she began to cry. Tania was frightened by her silence. Tania coaxed her with a tissue, "don't cry. It's ugly. Maggie won't recognize you anymore..."
Lois shook her head. She didn't want to give up, but she knew that Joey wouldn't let her go and Maggie wouldn't come back to her.
Lois cried so hard that she couldn't catch her breath. Tania took out her phone from her pocket and dialed Joey's number.
Looking at the caller ID, Joey rubbed between his eyebrows and answered the phone, "hello."
"It's me, Tania. Joey, You let Lois see Maggie. She is crying so hard that she can't breathe. Let's talk about it later if she has any grudge against you. You let her see the child. Her emotion now..." Du....The phone was hung up.
Tania shouted at the phone, "Damn it! Is he a man! Why is he so vindictive? "
When Tania raised her head, she saw that Lois was looking at her with red eyes. Tania put down her phone and turned her head helplessly. She didn't dare to face the hidden hope in Lois's eyes. She had watched Lois walk over step by step until now. Although she was angry, she pitied the person she trusted.
"Now that things have come to this, we can only take it step by step. What are you going to do next?" Sitting next to her, Tania said, "I think you'd better run the company first. Only when you have the financial strength, can you really compete with Joey for your child."
Lowering her head, Lois's face was pale and feeble. She forced a smile and said, "I know. I'll go to find a lawyer tomorrow and officially discuss divorce with Joey."
Tania patted her stooping waist and said, "you'd better straighten up. Don't always be so depressed."
Lois nodded, "Tania, please help me find a place. I am gonna to work hard."
Looking at her forced smile, Tania patted her head and said, "there will be hope for you to live on."
Hearing that, Lois felt a lump in her throat. She shook her head hard and said, "it's not that serious. As you said, half of Maggie is mine and half is his. He won't be willing to see his little fellow suffer, will he?"
She tried her best to ignore the uncertainty in her words. She gritted her teeth and smiled, "I'm tired. Let's have a rest."
Lois asked Tania to set up the company. She focused on talking about the divorce with the lawyer.
She was caught off guard. Just as she was confident to negotiate with the lawyer group she hired, she was refused by several lawyers. Either because their child was seriously ill, or because their parents in the countryside fell down and were hospitalized.
All of a sudden, there was no one around Lois. She temporarily transferred the newly established company to Tania and went straight to the law office.
Lois looked at the lawyers 'whose kid was sick two days ago, no one took care of the child', and 'whose mother fell and lost her legs', and was hospitalized', and 'who was on a vacation abroad with his wife'. she was surprised, but felt it reasonable.
Major Chen frowned, hesitated and greeted, "Mrs. Shen."
Lois looked at Major Chen and asked, "is Mr. Chen's wife abroad alone?"
Major blushed and said, "Mrs. Shen, you'd better to stop. "
She raised her eyebrows and sneered, "why?"
"Gu Family is powerful!" Major left in a hurry with one word left.
Lois smiled and understood.
Having made an appointment with Tania in the cafe, Lois felt that she needed to relieve her depressed mood.
Sitting opposite to Lois, Tania said with righteous indignation, "Joey has gone too far this time!"
"He has gone too far every time."
Taking a sip of the watermelon juice, Lois said, "I thought he is honest."
