Phoebe would return from her business trip in the afternoon, so Demi would then have time to go to Snow Group.
As for Angel…
After taking a nap, Demi sent her a message. “Sorry for what I said earlier. It was spoken in anger. Your work has been excellent. Work is work, but we should not involve ourselves too much in each other’s private
lives.”
Deep down, Demi was wary. Once bitten, she didn’t want to encounter another Rhea.
Angel replied quickly.
“It is fine. I didn’t take it to heart. Still, I suggest you see therapist when you have time.”
She even sent over a digital card, asking Demi to add her senior on WhatsApp.
“He is a psychology prodigy, well known both locally and abroad. You can try chatting online first.”
Demi was speechless. She could not understand why this new assistant was so insistent on sending her to therapy.
She knew her emotions had been unstable lately, but that was only….
Nevin and Orion flashed through her mind. Demi’s gaze turned cold.
She had already let it go.
Her hand rested gently on her belly. She would have a child who belonged to her alone.
“Mr. Blackwell, wait.”
As Nevin was heading out to meet a client, Rhea suddenly called after him.
He turned back. Rhea stepped closer and stared at his ti. “Mr. Blackwell, your tie is crooked.”
As she spoke, she reached out naturally, loosened the knot, adjusted it, and tied it neatly again.

Ignore Hubby and Son’s Regret, Shining Now
Chapter 125 A Moment of Confusion
During that moment, Nevin instinctively leaned back, then stopped.
He felt uneasy about Rhea standing so close.
His thoughts drifted to the past. For years, Demi had been the one to tie his tie every morning.
After tying it, Demi would stand on tiptoe and kiss him on the lips.
When he came home from work, she would be the one to loosen it.

Sometimes he could not resist pulling her into the bathroom with him. At times, Orion would suddenly rush in looking for his mom and ruin the moment.
As those memories surfaced, Nevin’s gaze darkened.
Rhea held her breath and shyly glanced at Nevin’s eyes.
Lost in his thoughts, Nevin did not notice her look.
“All done.”
Rhea reluctantly withdrew her hands, her heart pounding.
She had tied Nevin’s tie herself. Such closeness made her believe her long held wish was about to come true.
