The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 728

The dining table was already set with four dishes and a bowl of soup.

Lanny was lying in his stroller. Perhaps exhausted from swimming, he had slept the entire ride home.

Lance sat next to the stroller, his wrist resting casually on the handlebar, looking entirely relaxed.

"Where is Alexa?"

Catherine sat across from him and reached out to pull the stroller closer to her side.

But with Lance's hand resting against it, the stroller didn't budge.

"I gave her the afternoon off," Lance said softly, gesturing for her to sit. "Have you thought about it?"

He was referring to Catherine's employment contract with Golden Horizon Enterprises.

Did she still want the job?

He had figured out that if he didn't ask, she would never give him an answer voluntarily.

"I like working at Golden Horizon. The fact that the Southeast Expansion Project was canceled is actually a good thing for me. Now, I have even less of a reason to leave."

Catherine spoke the truth.

Without Adelina as a partner, her work would only go much smoother.

"I meant your plans for the future."

Lance tapped his finger against the tabletop in a slow, rhythmic beat.

"I want to leave Eldervale."

Catherine took a deep breath. Refusing to give herself a chance to hesitate, she blurted out everything she had been holding back.

"So, our marital agreement can end here. The Lee family is a total mess right now. I doubt they have the time to cause me any more trouble."

Now was the perfect time to leave.

She didn't look into Lance's eyes as she spoke.
