Chapter 32
I only realized how stupid I had been on the way to dinner.
I was actually looking forward to Ryan speaking up for me when
Jessica was asking me questions.
For example, “Isn’t it normal for her to use my money to buy things?” or Does she need your permission to spend my money?”
But what did Ryan say?
He said, “Grandpa bought her the car.
He used Grandpa as an excuse to shut Jessica up.
But the car was a Valentine’s present he bought me a while ago.
When Jessica was making a fuss, he not only didn’t recognize the car belonged to me, but also forgot how I got the car.
Another possibility was that he knew how I got the car, but he didn’t want Jessica to find out. He was actually quite nice to me.
Was I really Mrs. Frost? Why couldn’t I even our community assets? Why did I have to hide the truth in front of his previous lover?
How could he have tried to comfort Jessica in a cold voice in front of
me?
“That’s enough. You’re in your 30s already, don’t be so childish. You can just buy another car of the same model. It wouldn’t take long to change
the color.”
Those were his exact words.
Looking at the neon lights outside the window, my heart suddenly ached and I began to have butterflies in my stomach as well.
‘How was he able to give someone else the same thing that he has given me?‘ I wondered.

Jane asked while driving, “Still thinking about what just happened?”
Yeah
I knew the divorce was unavoidable, but I was still afraid of being disappointed.
Jane squinted her eyes. She didn’t start cursing like before. Instead, she said, “If she really dares to drive the same model car as you, I’ll teach her a lesson that she’ll never forget.”
“What are you planning on doing?” I sensed that something wasn’t right.
“Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. You just need to take care of the baby in your womb.”
The barbecue restaurant wasn’t too far away from the car store. As soon as Jane finished speaking, she parked the car outside the
restaurant.
The restaurant had been there for over 10 years. The area was a little rural; but the meat there was great. A lot of locals would come over during Autumn and Winter times. The business would normally be bustling.
After getting out of the car, I grabbed Jane and warned, “Don’t be impulsive, alright? I just want to successfully divorce him. Nothing else matters now.”
“Alright, alright.” Jane nodded her head and went to queue up for a table.
When the two of us saw how many people were in front of us, we were both dumbfounded.
There were nearly 50 tables waiting ahead of us.
Just when we felt annoyed, someone opened a window upstairs. A handsome face popped out and called out jokingly, “Jane, come up.. We’ve already saved a table for you.”
It was Tom.
