Chapter 19 

The renovations began shortly after he gave me the keys to the house. I had to keep an eye on the renovations, so I would be out early and back. late. He never asked about it. 

Even if I returned late, at most, he would just say, “You’re back late,” or, ” Looks like the Design Department is quite busy.” 

There a follow–up question about where I had been or what I 

was never had been doing. It was not within his scope of concern. We had reached the point of divorce, and I didn’t want to tolerate anything a Maybe it was when you were with Jessica.” 

¡ore. 

Sure enough, I saw a trace of stiffness on his face. It made me feel 

much better. 

“I haven’t been in contact with her lately.” 

“There’s no need to explain to me.” I felt it was unnecessary now. “As long as you’re willing, once the divorce proceedings are done, you can marry her anytime.” 

“Why are you speaking in such a tone? You make it sound like we’re strangers” Ryan furrowed his brows slightly, which made him look at little helpless.

“Flat shoes are more comfortable.” After being pregnant, I basically stopped wearing high heels. I was afraid it might affect the baby.

Ryan cocked his brows, his smile neither friendly nor unfriendly. “What, can’t I inquire about my subordinates‘ work?” 

“Sure.” Feeling pressured, I had to lower my head. “Before next Friday.” 

The samples were already ready, and as long as they were confirmed to be correct on Monday, we could urge the supplier to prepare the fabric, and the factory could start production. 

“Oh.” He responded with a flat tone again, and I really didn’t want to say anything more to him.
