Chapter 193

“Sure.” I nodded with delight, casting a skeptical glance at her. “Is it because… Tom won’t leave you alone?

“Yeah!” She hiccupped after drinking the water, her gaze slightly unfocused but her thoughts clear. “He said he doesn’t want to split up with me and is willing to give up his engagement for me.”

I was somewhat surprised. “Is that true?”

“You silly thing!” Jane poked my head with her finely manicured fingers, completely sober. “Whether it’s true or not, it doesn’t matter. Even if he’s willing, will his family agree? The Hilton family might not be as affluent as the Frost family, but no matter what, it’s not my place to marry into such a family.”

“Love, no matter how intense, can it withstand his family’s strong opposition? Even if I marry into the Hilton family, will I really live a happy life? Only a fool would fall for it!”

After hearing her out, I pinched her cheek. “After drinking so much, you’re still so clear-headed?”

She smiled at me. It was a bitter smile. “It’s precisely because I’m clear–headed that I drank so much.”

She was way too clear–headed.

She didn’t even leave herself a chance to sink a little or to find a brief moment of happiness.

Jane rested her head on my lap and murmured, “Cinderella could be with the prince because she was originally noble…”

“I’m at best the Little Match Girl.” I looked at her with heartache. ‘Then I’ll use all my savings to buy all your matches and make you rich,”

Anyway, Ryan had given me quite a few things, enough to support her.

The next day, I slept in and woke up late, then tidied up and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Just simple milk and sandwiches.

Jane sat listlessly at the dining table, sizing me up, her voice weak. “Why do I feel like you’re in a really good mood today?”

“Not bad.” I placed breakfast in front of her. “I’ve made an appointment with Ryan to pick up the divorce. certificate today.”

“Today?” She yawned. “Isn’t the cooling–off period for divorce next month?”

“It’s something he can handle with a phone call.”

Jane was displeased. “But why is he so impatient?”

“I suggested it.” I smiled and sat opposite her, taking a sip of milk. Then I dropped a bombshell. “You were right before. John and Jessica are indeed having an affair.”

Jane was stunned for a moment, caught off guard by the revelation. She blurted out, is it true? Did you see them do it with your own eyes?”

“Yeah.”

She immediately grabbed my phone. “Did you record it? Show me!”

“It isn’t good for your eyes,” I kindly reminded her.

Fearless, she replied, “I’ve seen countless clips. This won’t bother me.”

After watching, she gave a brief comment. “Well, no wonder he’s a middle–aged man. He’s even quicker. than a rabbit.”

I nearly choked on my breakfast and gave her a glare, urging her to finish breakfast quickly.

After breakfast, she voluntarily went to wash the dishes. I walked to the balcony and dialed Ryan’s number.

He picked up quickly but remained silent, waiting for me to speak.

I pursed my lips. “When are you free today? I’ll meet you at the Civil Affairs Bureau.”

Crack!

It sounded like the phone was smashed, followed by a burst of static.

I squeezed my palm, stood on the balcony in a daze for a while, about to go back inside when the phone rang again.

It was Gary calling.

I answered, “Hello.”

“Mrs. Frost…” Gary still sounded uncertain. “Mr. Frost, Mr. Frost asked me to tell you, two o’clock this afternoon.”

I took a deep breath. “Okay.”

. At that moment, when it was really time to divorce, I surprisingly felt it was unrealistic.
