Chapter 101 I Really Want to Be With You

Jethro’s expression was overcome with cold fury as he spoke his final words. My heart ached inexplicably. Despite our relationship having ended, happiness was far from what I felt.That was it then? Were we nothing to each other from then on?The thought of being completely disconnected from him brought sorrow to my heart. My eyes flickered before I hastily opened the car door and got out. Jethro watched me with piercing, hawk-like eyes that made me feel utterly uncomfortable, before making a swift exit.Back in the office, I tried masking my discomposure with work. I felt inexplicably torn, almost reluctant to let go of our past. As lunch hour came to a close and coworkers slid back behind desks, Jethro made his way to his office. His figure appeared in my line of sight, causing my heart to panic. I ducked my head and dodged his gaze, but it seemed like I had become nothing but a wisp of air to him. He bypassed me without even a glance, disappearing into his office and dismissing m

Chapter 102 Initiating a Kiss

My heart fluttered, keenly aware of Ignatz's thoughts. His declaration should have filled me with happiness, but that happiness eluded me for reasons I could not fathom."I understand, and thank you for trusting me,” I said.My response was measured, no doubt giving away the complexities of my past with Jethro to a man as perceptive as Ignatz. Despite his suspicions, he said nothing, considerate of my feelings. This was a rarity among men.As I gazed out the window, Jethro haunted my thoughts. When our relationship was ambiguous, evasion was my go-to move. Now that it was truly over, my heart felt hollow as if I had lost something precious.After dinner, Ignatz proposed a shopping trip, but my spirits were low from the day's emotional rollercoaster with Jethro, so I declined. No longer entwined with Jethro's life, I did not head back to Verdantia but instead to Summer's place. Without any ties to him, it felt inappropriate to stay in his house.Ignatz pulled up outside Summer's pl

Chapter 103 Facing Jethro's Wrath

She looked just as she always did, yet I sensed the act. Summer was hiding a deep sadness behind her usual sparkle."Exactly. My Summer is so beautiful that she has admirers lining up around the block. Any of them will be better than that jerk," I affirmed, settling beside her and wrapping an arm around her as a gesture of unity.It was clear to me Summer was slowly stepping out of the shadows of her heartbreak. Ending things with Jethro might have been for the best. Now, I could be there for Summer without a constant cloud of worry hanging over me.After the night at Summer's, I encountered Jethro again at the office the next day. I thought he would at least greet me, but he brushed past without even a glance. It was as though I did not exist. I frowned slightly as I watched him stride toward his office and felt a twinge of disappointment.Settled at my desk, my eyes kept straying to Jethro’s office door. Discontent bubbled within me. What was his opinion of me now? Even without o

Chapter 104 His Ruthless Indifference

Jethro's temporary office walls were thin, and everyone heard every word of our tense conversation. It had been a war zone in there, and my self-respect was in tatters after his wrath. I dragged myself back to my desk, still reeling from his earlier fury."You okay?" Misha looked at me with concern etched on her face.I swallowed a sniffle and masked my sorrow with a pretense of indifference. "I'm fine," I declared with an ugly smile that was far from convincing."Mr. Jethro went overboard. It was just a design proposal. Was such an outburst necessary?" Misha muttered as she glanced at Jethro’s office."It's best if we just stick to our work. Complaining could land you in hot water next," I advised, my tone carrying an undertone of protectiveness for Jethro despite everything.Misha took the hint and promptly went back to her tasks.My mind was a whirlwind, incapable of conjuring any design. Inspiration eluded me though the new proposal was due by day's end. My mind was as blank

Chapter 105 You’re Despicable to the Core

This was the second time he was suggesting that I leave the firm. Was this his intention all along?I stifled my tears and chose not to respond with anger. It took a lot of effort before I could steady myself and respond without my voice betraying my emotions. "Understood. I'll keep refining the design until it meets your expectations."If his intention was to make me quit, I refused to cave. No matter how difficult he made things for me, I would strive to meet his demands.Appearing content with my level-headed response, Jethro offered me an indifferent glance and silence. Not wanting to spend another second in his presence, I planned to exit his office. "If there’s nothing more, sir, I'll be heading home for the day,” I said.But as fate would have it, my phone chose that moment to ring.It was Ignatz, and my pulse quickened, especially with Jethro within earshot. His piercing gaze locked onto me, his sharp intellect likely deducing the caller's identity from my expression. I

Chapter 106 You Will Willingly Become My Woman

Jethro silently stared at the key in my hand, his thoughts beyond my comprehension. When he made no move to take it, I placed it on the table and headed for the door, dragging my suitcase behind me."Serena, you will willingly become my woman."His words, calm yet unfathomable, reached me just as I was about to step through the doorway.I halted and turned to face him, but all I could make out was his silhouette against the dim light. The implications of his words eluded me, but this wasn't the time to ponder them. With much effort, I quelled my inner chaos and walked out.When I got to Summer's place, I found her making dinner. It was the first time she had done so since her breakup. I wondered if she was truly moving on or just putting on a brave face for me. I lugged my suitcase to my old room before joining her in the kitchen."I haven’t been out these past few days, so we're out of groceries. We'll just have to make do tonight," Summer said apologetically while stirring the c

Chapter 107 Ignatz Is Perfect for You

I was embarrassed to bring Ignatz to such a simple place on our first outing, but high-end establishments were simply beyond my budget."Sorry we’re dining at such a casual place," I said awkwardly, struggling to make eye contact with him."Don't worry, I'm quite fond of this spot. It takes me back to the food stalls I used to frequent with my ex-college classmates. Those were good times." Ignatz smiled reassuringly, making it clear he didn't look down on the modest venue.Whether he truly felt that way, I couldn't tell, but his consideration touched me. Though our relationship was still fresh and we were practically strangers, his genuine approach to our budding connection was endearing."Mr. Attorney, since Rina is treating us today, perhaps next time it’ll be your turn. You two have known each other long enough, and as her best friend, I think I deserve a little bribe, right?" Summer teased as she turned to Ignatz."We shouldn't expect others to always treat us, Summer," I inte

Chapter 108 So Many Jerks

In Summer’s eyes, Ignatz was the epitome of the perfect man and exceptionally suitable for me. I knew that she just wanted me to find happiness quickly and had my best interests at heart, but it felt like something crucial was missing between Ignatz and me."I get what you're trying to say. I’m even more eager to get married than you are right now. Look at me, I’m not getting any younger. I’ll soon be labeled an old spinster." I sighed helplessly, preferring not to dwell on this subject. I was acutely aware of my advancing age and the looming shadow of spinsterhood.Hearing my tone of resignation, Summer lowered her head and resumed eating, offering no further argument. It was then that Ignatz returned."I'm sorry, Rina, but an unexpected issue came up with a case I’m working on. I need to discuss it with the client. I will not be able to stay with you for the rest of dinner," Ignatz said with an apologetic look."It's okay. Work comes first. Go ahead," I responded. Somehow, his im

Chapter 109 Physical Altercation

As the couple drew closer, I noticed that the woman with him was dressed rather provocatively, and her fashionable attire hinted at wealth. Likely in her thirties, she was clearly older than Claude."And why would I care about that? You're my girlfriend, so it's natural for me to want to kiss you. Why should we worry about others?" Claude proclaimed before attempting another kiss with a sleazy grin on his face."Oh, stop it," the woman protested in a playful tone. Despite her verbal resistance, she tilted her head, offering up her red lips.Their public display of affection was surely painful for Summer to watch, and a flicker of hurt crossed her eyes. She had only recently ended things with him, and witnessing the couple’s intimacy stirred her emotions."Hey, you done with your meal? If so, let's leave," I suggested, knowing the scene would only cause Summer more pain. The saying “out of sight, out of mind” seemed fitting for her own good."I'm not done yet. Why must I be the one

Chapter 110 Involving the Police

Claude froze, clearly shocked by Summer’s slap. It was a while before he reoriented himself. He looked furious when he turned back to her.Summer had always been gentle and accommodating during their relationship and had never so much as raised her voice at him. This sense of disillusionment and unforeseen aggression must have caused him a great shock."You slapped me?" Claude’s expression was as dark as a storm cloud. The gaze he fixed on Summer made it clear he was the type of man who would strike a woman."I hit you because you deserve it, Claude! You cheated me and betrayed me! Hitting you is the least you deserve! I wish I could do more!" Summer screamed as she spiraled out of control.As she spoke, her tears finally broke free and ran down her cheeks. She was in pain, and her heart ached. I didn’t approach to comfort her, knowing this was her moment to vent. Once she released all her hatred for Claude, the anguish would subside.Claude was dumbfounded by Summer's emotional t
