“If you really don’t want to deal with it, you can just find an excuse to go on a business trip overseas,” Lucy said, her view of the situation perfectly clear. “The overseas branches should have plenty of work to keep you occupied.”

Kenneth fell silent.

He really was a true friend. “If I leave, what happens to him?”

Lucy teased him with a deadpan expression. “And you still insist you do not have a crush on him.”

“We’re just very good friends!” Kenneth protested. He didn’t want that as a label. “If I leave and something really happens to him, then what? I can’t just let him swallow it all alone.”

He only felt okay leaving the country once John and Sierra were settled back then. Now that John and Sierra were about to blow up, would his world collapse all over again?

“He’s not going to stop living just because you’re not here,” Lucy said. She saw these things more clearly than anyone. “He’s not as weak as you think. He’s not just one man right now. He’s also a husband and a father.”

Kenneth blinked. “And?”

Lucy threw the question back at him. “Are you?”

Kenneth bristled. “Of course I’m not!”

Lucy only made a quiet sound. “Yeah…”

Kenneth felt even more confused.

He was just about to ask what she meant when Lucy basically showed him the door.

Kenneth shamelessly refused to leave and decided to camp at her place for the next few days. If something really did happen, he could drag her along to share some of the pressure later.

Lucy couldn’t be bothered with him and went back to her room to sleep.

On the nineteenth, Sierra took Tommy and Anna to get the divorce certificate.

Lucas cooperated fully. In less than ten minutes, they walked out with the certificate in hand.

Looking down at it with a bitter smile, he looked at Anna. “Can I ask you something?”

Anna held Tommy’s hand. “Go ahead.”

Lucas glanced at Sierra before he spoke. “Who is Sierra’s father?”

“You’re her only father ten minutes ago,” Anna said.

She was always clear about where the lines were. From now on, she could take on both roles herself if she had to.

Lucas paused, a storm of emotions rising in his chest. “If I had done everything your way back then and the Bell Group had never gone under, could the three of us have lived out a relatively happy life together?”

“No.” Anna had never been someone who lived in what–ifs and hypotheticals.

Lucas’s gaze froze.

Anna laid it out calmly. “Even if you had listened to me about everything back then, it won’t be long until people say that all your success depended on me. With your personality, you’d still end up feeling like your pride had been insulted, and you’d still take

it out on Sierra and me.”

Lucas stayed silent. He didn’t argue.

He knew she was right.

Back then, he really liked Anna. He thought she was smart, capable, independent, strong, and good at everything. When people said he was lucky to marry such a good wife, he felt pride from the bottom of his heart.

As time went on and he took over as president of Bell Group, hearing those same words started to rub on him the wrong way.

The longer it went on, the more it bothered him.

In the end, he stopped listening to anything she said and convinced himself that he would still do just fine without her.
