I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 1056

Chapter 1056: Love Until I Want to Lock Her Up

Their relationship with Maya came to an abrupt end. At a gathering, after a few drinks, Doctor Dobbin pointed at Kason and said, "I know what's best, so I graciously let you have her!"

Kason nodded and poured some wine, saying, "Thank you."

And so, the dynamics between them were set.

Although they appeared carefree at the time, they all knew Doctor Dobbin's heart wasn't in it.

Even though Doctor Dobbin was reluctant, there was nothing he could do. Back when Brandon and Maya were still in university and engaged, they had effectively pushed Doctor Dobbin out of the picture.

As the elevator doors opened, Doctor Dobbin collected his thoughts. Stepping out of the elevator, he locked eyes with Anthony, who was standing by.

Doctor Dobbin paused for a moment and then looked at Anthony. "Why aren't you heading to the office?"

Upon seeing Doctor Dobbin, Anthony straightened up. "You know the Hawkins brothers."

"Indeed," Doctor Dobbin replied without hesitation, walking towards his office. "Let me offer you some advice-be more carefree."

Anthony glanced at him, raising an eyebrow. "Carefree? How am I supposed to do that?"

Doctor Dobbin retorted, "Miss Thompson doesn't like you. She sees you as a friend. Clinging to her like this isn't appropriate, is it?"

Anthony didn't respond immediately. Instead, he walked past Doctor Dobbin and entered the office. Taking a seat, he said, "Were you carefree when you were in love?"

Helping himself to some water, Doctor Dobbin mumbled, "Quite carefree, and I knew when to act."

Anthony watched Doctor Dobbin, taking the water glass and bringing it to his lips. "That's truly carefree. But I'm not like you. Unless she gets married, I won't give up."

"Just that infatuated?"

Anthony was blunt, "It's love."

Doctor Dobbin raised an eyebrow. "Love?"

"Love to the point where I want to secretly lock her up. So she'll be mine alone, and no one can take her away."

Doctor Dobbin chuckled, teasing, "You're really twisted!"

"You wouldn't understand!"

Doctor Dobbin grunted. "Indeed, I don't quite get it. I don't understand why you're pining away for someone who's in a mutual affection, waiting for her to acknowledge you. Are you that pitiful?"

"In the world of love, the one who loves the deepest is inherently pitiful."

At this point, Anthony lifted his gaze, looking at Doctor Dobbin. "You're not pitiful enough, which is why you haven't succeeded."

Doctor Dobbin was momentarily taken aback by Anthony's unconventional theory. After a brief silence, he finally spoke, "So, being pitiful is the key to success?"

"I'll succeed more than you."

Doctor Dobbin found it hard to argue with Anthony and nodded in response. "Alright, maybe I wasn't as pitiful as you back then. I never even had a chance to speak up; I was stifled."

Anthony laughed, "You really have no backbone."

Doctor Dobbin didn't engage in further banter. After a short pause, he whispered, "Are you really planning to do something morally questionable and make her get rid of the child?"

Anthony placed the water glass down. "I haven't sunk that low."

After saying this, Anthony fell silent for a few seconds before asking Doctor Dobbin, "Is she alright?"

"Everything's normal."

Anthony nodded, running out of things to say.

Observing the sudden quietness, Doctor Dobbin finally spoke up, "Are you... not really bringing her along for that purpose? Is it just to ensure she's alright?"

Anthony didn't respond to Doctor Dobbin's words. Instead, he whispered, "I want to be carefree, but I can't."

As he said this, his voice was barely audible.

Watching Anthony, Doctor Dobbin wanted to say something but swallowed his words. After a moment of hesitation, he finally spoke, "They'll probably sort things out soon, clear up misunderstandings, and reconcile."

"Isn't that a good thing?"
