Chapter 29 "My back hurts so much..." She nestled in Ryan's arms, crying as she complained, "I just asked about her progress at work, and she pushed. me... Ryan, can't you just let her be the director? Everyone else supports her too. I really don't want to work in this kind of environment anymore." Listening to her, I couldn't help but admire her skill at making up lies. I almost burst out laughing, but then I met Ryan's scrutinizing gaze.

"Is that so?" His voice was icy, sending a chill down my spine.

I chuckled self-deprecatingly. "If I say it's not true, would you believe me?" "Ryan..." Jessica's eyes welled up with tears, her delicate fingers tugging at his collar. This suit was one I personally designed and tailored for him. It was a gift I gave him for Valentine's Day this year.

He didn't answer my question. Instead, he just lowered his gaze to the woman in his arms, furrowing his brow. He seemed impatient but concerned as he said, "You're not a child. Crying like this after a fall? Lettake you to the hospital."

I took a deep breath, trying to keep my eyes dry and devoid of emotion.

'Charlotte, what are you disappointed about? He's just your ex-husband now.' Once they were out of sight, Nancy rushed in anxiously. "Charlotte, are you okay?" "Why wouldn't I be?" I forced a smile on my face.

Ryan wouldn't dare to do anything to me. Otherwise, he would have to answer to his grandfather.

+16 BONUS Nancy glanced in the direction Ryan and Jessica had left, then turned back to me. "Mr. Frost was holding Mr. Frost in his arms like that. Everyone is guessing what their relationship is. Could she really be Mr. Frost's wife?" With that thought in mind, she looked atwith a face full of despair and worry. "What if that's the case, Charlotte? You and her don't get along. She'll definitely bully you!" My heart sank. It was pointless to say anything else. I was already used to it.

I had been married to Ryan for three years, and apart from Jane and Gary, no one in the company knew about our relationship. Now, before we even got divorced, he didn't bother hiding his relationship wit Jessica. Then why did he holdlast night, saying that he never intended for things to turn out this way? Such a thought madefeel that he was just a hypocrite.

I pursed my lips lightly. "It's okay. When the tcomes, I'll leave." "Then takewith you! I'll go wherever you go!" "Okay." Seeing Nancy's fawning appearance, I couldn't help but laugh.

Jessica was just a titleholder and did nothing. Most of the director's and deputy director's work fell on me.

At noon, I was too busy to go downstairs for lunch. Nancy broughta portion of beef curry. When she lifted the lid, a wave of nausea surged up from my stomach.

"Charlotte, don't you want to eat this? I'll go buy you something else," she said.

"No need, this is fine." I suppressed the urge to throw up and forced myself to eat.

#15 BONUS It was probably because of aggravated morning sickness.

The food I wasn't sold nearby. There was no need to go through the trouble.

Unexpectedly, halfway through eating, I threw up into the trash can, ears and snot streaming down my face.. Fortunately, I kept the noise down, so no one should have heard.

In the evening, just before getting off work, Jane knocked on the door.

"I forgot to tell you that the garage calledyesterday. They're done! with your car's repairs. Do you wantto cwith you to pick i ?". I didn't even bother to lift my head. "Okay, wait for me. I'm almost done here."

"Busy woman." Jane chuckled and sat down in the chair on the other side of my desk, playing with her phone idly. After a while, she suddenly stood up and exclaimed, "Why is your ear bleeding?" COIN BUNDLE. get more free bonus D
