"My back hurts so much..." She nestled in Ryan''s arms, crying as sheined, "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 outughing, 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 cor. 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? Let me take you to the hospital."
Then he left inrge strides, as if afraid that something might happen to the woman he cared about, leaving behind only a cold silhouette.
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.
Nancy nced 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 rtionship is. Could she really be Mr. Frost''s wife?"
With that thought in mind, she looked at me with 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 thepany knew about our rtionship. Now, before we even got divorced, he didn''t bother hiding his rtionship wit Jessica. Then why did he hold mest night, saying that he never intended for things to turn out this way?
Such a thought made me feel that he was just a hypocrite.
I pursed my lips lightly. "It''s okay. When the timees, I''ll leave."
"Then take me with you! I''ll go wherever you go!"
"Okay."
Seeing Nancy''s fawning appearance, I couldn''t help butugh.
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 brought me a 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.

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, tears 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 called me yesterday. They''re done with your car''s repairs. Do you want me toe with 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, ying with her phone idly.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.
After a while, she suddenly stood up and eximed, "Why is your ear bleeding?"
