로그인Tanya sighed regrettably. "Acutally, I really didn't want to go back, but my family is urging me to go home soon. I was thinking I should arrange for us to meet at a tourist spot instead."Charlie appeared puzzled. "Why won't you want to go back? Isn't it a good thing, spending time with family? After being away for so long?"Tanya pursed her lips in awkwardness.She certainly would like to see her family too, but there was a simple reason she didn't want to go back—she did not want to face Trevor Kennedy, her boyfriend.When feelings change, a person would naturally try to avoid their current partners as much as they could, ideally not meeting or talking for a while.The silent treatment, as one would say.The best outcome would be for the partner to ask for a breakup on their own following the silent treatment, and with that, the relationship could end without further face-to-face interaction.That was why Tanya was so keen to stay away, or only make a quick stop back home if
In the days before the Oskian New Year, Charlie was still following Tanya as he toured between different cities, until she finished her Oskian tour.However, he already regretted taking the job after Eastcliff, but it was already too late—he couldn't just tell his wife that he was giving up halfway as Tanya's Feng Shui consultant.Nonetheless, after the twenty concerts, Curtis Autos had also gained widespread brand awareness in Oskia, as well as the rest of the world.Although Curtis Autos had yet to announce any car model at the moment, Charlie knew full well that when it came to starting a new business, one principle must always be followed: always get famous early.In recent history, before certain public figures launch their car brands, they first build hype by vowing to dedicate all honor of their lifetime into making their brand successful. It would immediately draw the public's attention, and to no one's surprise, their cars would sell like hot cakes.As Curtis Autos was na
Claire had her pride too.She didn't want to be labeled the girl who married rich or the icon of a modern-day Cinderella story—instead of being a vassal to an important family, she'd rather have a boring, easy life.Moreover, Quinn suited Charlie more than herself, and she definitely sacrificed a lot to find him.Whether it was sentiment or rationality, Quinn deserved her blessing and respect.She certainly could give the former by ending her marriage with Charlie, which counted as a virtue.Hence, she replied to Charlie, "Yes, let's attend the concert in Eastcliff together—just the two of us. When it's over, I might be going on a business trip, so you can head back to Aruous Hill while I fly from Eastcliff to Rochester.""Why Rochester?" Charlie asked in curiosity.Claire thought for a moment, and came up with an excuse. "A client just introduced me to her bestie, whose villa in Rochester needs a makeover. She was hoping for a design from me, but I need to survey the site first
Though Claire was sullen as she headed upstairs, neither her parents noticed anything unusual.And she was used to it—they didn't have the innate instinct to care. In fact, no one in the house cared about her mood save for Charlie.All Jacob and Elaine could think about at that moment was how to get their tickets' worth of fun in their Maldives trip, not noticing at all that Claire's eyes were swollen red from crying.Returning to her room, she washed her face with cold water, doing her best to calm down as she thought about what she could do to minimize the damage when she left Charlie.Still, that meant she should first check with him his schedule for the second day of the second month in the Oskian calendar—his birthday.Picking up his phone, she sent Charlie a voice message, "How are you going to spend your birthday?"-Charlie was just getting bored, sitting backstage at Tanya's concert.Receiving Claire's message, she didn't hesitate to reply right away, "You're a big fan
Claire locked herself in her office the whole day and never left.She also never ate or drank, merely sitting alone on her office chair and reminiscing about her marriage with Charlie.There was no telling how many times she cried through it all, and her eyes were left red and swollen from tears.As evening arrived and everyone else left, Momo knocked on Clarie's door and asked softly, "Ms. Wilson? Aren't you leaving?""In a minute," Claire replied. "Just go for now—are there still others outside?""No, it's just me left."Claire sighed in relief, and said, "Alright, just go on ahead. I'll be leaving soon too.""Yes, Ms. Wilson. I'm going now."After Momo left, Claire waited for another ten minutes until everyone was gone, before dragging her weary self out of her office.Looking around at the clean, spacious office, she found herself really reluctant to leave.Leaving Charlie meant anonymity and briefly disappeared from this world.When that happened, her company would be s
Ten minutes later, Momo was happily skipping out of Feather Hall with two charms.Claire was herself outside, spacing out and not noticing Momo until she came up to her, asking in feigned curiosity, "What's on your mind, Ms. Wilson?"Clarie came to her senses and frantically replied, "What? Oh, it's nothing… Anyway, are you finished?""Yep!" Momo nodded happily, waving her charm. "I got it, so let's go! Can I hitch a ride?""Sure," Claire agreed to it immediately, but remained distracted.At that moment, her mind was filled with shock, confusion, and pain—all she wanted was to hurry back to her office soon, lock herself up to think in silence.Still, she was still distracted on the way to the office, and almost got in an accident if Momo didn't warn her in time.After getting to the office after many close shaves, Claire was heading straight to her office when the admin came to ask, "Ms. Wilson? What time will the daily meeting be?"Claire waved him off, groaning and scowling,
Charlie looked on from a distance. He could not help but feel surprised. He never thought that Nanako could be beaten by the American girl. Nanako seemed very passive and would not fight back.Furthermore, her beautiful face was also bruised and bleeding due to repeated hits, especially the corner of
After Quinn and Claire had added each other as WeChat friends, Quinn looked at Charlie before she smiled and said, “By the way, Master Wade, why don’t we add each other as friends too?”After that, Quinn handed her WeChat QR code over to Charlie.Charlie could only take out his cell phone and scan her
Zell hurriedly bowed as he said, “Don Albert, please wait for a while. I will go and talk to my daughter for a minute. We were just discussing this matter amongst ourselves here, so she does not know anything about this yet…”Albert looked at his watch before he said coldly, “I’ll give you three minu
