“How did you know?”
After asking such a question, I felt a bit foolish.
Given his relationship with Bethany, he would obviously know.
Seeing that he had no intention of taking the dress, I offered it again, only to hear him say with a half- smile, “Mrs. Frost, you think so little of me. It’s just a dress. Do you think I would take it back after giving it to you?”
“Give?”
I was somewhat surprised.
This dress was quite expensive, certainly costing seven figures.
Frank crossed his arms and completely avoided my attempt to return it. With a flamboyant and unrestrained attitude, he said, “Otherwise, would you just be my female companion for nothing?”
“Fine then.”
I knew I couldn’t return it, so I accepted it with a smile.
For a family like theirs, this amount of money was indeed negligible. Persisting in refusal would seem pretentious.
I smiled slightly, “Then thank you.”
“If you really want to thank me, do me a favor.”
“I’m not being a female companion again.”
I rejected instinctively.
Frank let out a pleasant laugh. “What are you thinking? This Sunday, go to the University of Jelaston and pick someone up after school. I should be busy that day, so I’m asking you for help.”
I frowned. “A boy or a girl?”
“A girl.”
Upon hearing this, I suddenly understood,
Previously, when he mentioned accompanying someone here, I thought it might be an illegitimate child. But given his age, he couldn’t possibly have an illegitimate child old enough to be in college…
Was it his young girlfriend?
When I nodded in agreement, my gaze inadvertently swept over a pair of women’s slippers under the entrance cabinet. I smiled lightly. “Alright, I’ll do it.”
Considering my current main task is negotiating a partnership with the RF Group and other work will start only after the funds come in, I should be relatively free this weekend. I can find time to pick someone up.
The next morning, as soon as I got up, the doorbell rang.

When I opened the door, Ryan, dressed in a bespoke suit, came in effortlessly, changing into slippers. He took out the breakfast from a thermal box and placed it on the dining table.
“It’s made by the chef from the the Frost family’s residence.”
He pulled me over and pushed me into a chair. “Quick, eat while it’s still warm. Albert said these are your favorites.”
I was still a bit dazed. “Ryan, didn’t you understand my point? We’re still getting a divorce, you don’t need to be so nice to me.”
A couple about to divorce didn’t need to do such affectionate things.
“You haven’t understood my point either.”
Ryan carefully gathered my loose hair and tied it back, making it easier for me to eat. His voice was deep. “I told you, I’m seriously trying to win you back.”
