Before Macy could even finish her words, she was stopped by me. “Just go, I’ll be fine!”
With that, she didn’t say much after that. Nonetheless, she stared angrily at John and warned, “If you dare to harm her in anyway, I’ll take you on at any cost!”
John raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
Macy left after that.
The lady wearing green-colored gown changed my teacup as well as the tea for me. She looked at me and mentioned, “If Ms. Stovall is afraid of insomnia, you can try drinking a bit of black tea. Don’t worry about insomnia and you can take it without any doubt.”
“Thanks!” I smiled at her.
John looked at the lady and frowned a bit as though he blamed her for acting without his consent.
The lady then shut her mouth and kept quiet while smiling sweetly at me.
After John had a few sips of tea, he gazed at me. “Since you already left Fuller Corporation, aren’t you planning to divorce Ashton?”
I giggled. “Since when is Mr. Stovall interested in someone else’s personal matters?”
He frowned and asked, “Is there a need to differentiate between general and personal matters among us? Letty, you should know that I can let you live a better life should you leave him.”
“Do I look like I am not living a good life now?” The incident that happened at Fuller Corporation in J City has caused a great commotion. Thus, I am not surprised that he knew about it.
He put the teacup that he held on to the table with a deep gaze. “Letty, you know that I understand you better than yourself. Stop pretending to be tough. You know clearly that Ashton is not your refuge. The best way out is for you to leave him.”
“Ah!” I couldn’t help but laugh, “Is Mr. Stovall kidding? Even if I have left Fuller Corporation, I am still Ashton’s legitimate wife.”
“Tsk!” He took a sip of tea while his eyes were fixed to focus on me. He commented in a strange tone. “You are so confident and that makes me feel a little surprised. I came back from K City just yesterday. There is a rumor among the well-off families saying that Mr. Moore and Ms. Anderson had found a son in law with a dignified demeanor that goes by a family name of Fuller.”
After saying that, he laughed spontaneously. “Where is your hubby, Ashton currently?”
John had intended to make me feel disgusted. However, I pretended not to hear his words and calmly replied, “Mr. Stovall, if there is nothing else, then I shall leave first.”
