Chapter 231
I replied firmly, “Yeah, I want to try It”
“You got this.” His gaze held mine, unwavering as he spoke.
A genuine happiness bubbled inside me, and I sincerely said, “Thank you so much!”
Even though he downplayed it, I could still imagine the great effort he had put in to recover Janedream.
Mark let out a resigned laugh. “What are you thanking me for? I also wanted your parents‘ company back, but they wouldn’t budge.”
*This is more than enough,” I insisted eamestly. “Having Janedream back is all that matters.”
*Glad I could help,” he sighed, walking over to the entrance to look outside before turning back to me with a slight frown. “Jane, do your have a rag?”
I asked, “What’s wrong?”
“The cleaners missed a spot. I’ll clean it up. It’s blood. I don’t want it to freak you out.”
“It’s okay.” I said as I gathered the documents into a folder and placed it on the coffee table. “Don’t worry about it. I probably be moving out in a few days anyway.”
The house in Riverview Estate was mine, according to the divorce settlement. But dealing with Bryant meant endless trouble. Today, it was Dorothy. The next day, it could be Margaret or Teresa. Any would question why I was living there and maybe even barge in to create a scene. Staying there was asking for trouble.
“You found a place?” Mark’s tone was gentle.
“Not yet. I just decided on moving.” I shook my head. “Ill start looking for apartments and plan to sell this place tomorrow.”
I was overjoyed. “Really?”
“Absolutely.” Mark smiled. “How about I show you the place tomorrow?”
“No need to see it.” I declined with a grin. “I trust your judgment. It must be a cool spot if you say so. But to be clear, I’ll pay you the rent as usual. How much were you asking for it?”
