Talking about this, Jack also seemed a bit pained. âSo when I met you again during university, I hated myself for missing so many years of your life and letting you suffer so much.â
âJack, this is not your fault.â
When I was going through difficulties, he was still just a child.
Some paths in life, you would have to walk by yourself.
No one else could help.
It was already very good that he could lend me a hand when I needed it the most.
At that moment, Jane came out with the pizza, smiling. âHow was your chat? How about we dig in?â
Jack responded enthusiastically, âGo ahead, I skipped lunch and am starving.â
With Jane around, the hot pot was filled with joy and laughter.
Gradually, I managed to push the trending topic out of my mind.
It will pass; everything will pass.

The next day, the snow still hadnât stopped. The cold wind was biting, and everything outside was covered in a blanket of white.
Jane stayed over last night. Now, after receiving a phone call, she was nearly bouncing with excitement, Charlotte, howâs your injury? Can you go out today?â
I drank a cup of water and asked, âWhat happened?â
âThe contract from RF Group is ready! They said if we sign it now, the funds will be in place by noon!â
âSo soon?â
Not just her, I was also a bit excited.
Normally, for a large multinational like the RF Group, contract procedures and fund approvals would take quite a while.
It had only been a few days?
When we arrived at the the RF Group groupâs office in Jelaston, lan was already waiting in the reception room with the contract.
Seeing me, he smiled, âSorry, the branch office isnât set up yet, so the environment is a bit makeshift.â âMr. Brown, are you setting up a branch office in Jelaston?â asked Jane.
lan didnât hide anything. As he handed over the contract, he said, âItâs in the planning stages. We were supposed to wait a bit longer, but due to some issues, we had to move up the schedule.â
had a feeling he was hinting at something.
But I couldnât quite figure it out, so I simply took the contract and looked it over.

It was filled with reasonable terms.

Jane checked it as well and found nothing wrong. Before I signed, she nervously asked, âMr. Brown, is the funding definitely going to be in place by noon?â
âSpecial circumstances would need special handling,â lan replied casually.
Jane immediately seized on that. âSpecial circumstances?â
I was also puzzled and looked at lan.
lan paused for a moment, then smiled. âI have high hopes for the Charlotte Jewelry. If we delay the funds and you decide to sign with someone else, what then?â
The efficiency of the RF Group Group was even faster than we had imagined.
Just after signing the contract and leaving, my phone rang.
The funds were transferred!
Jane was both surprised and delighted. She was about to go out for a meal but immediately turned the car around and headed toward the office building where we had paid the deposit.
At the moment we signed the lease and received the keys, both Jane and I saw anticipation and excitement in each otherâs eyes.
We finally had our own company.
Jane, grinning with joy, said, âWhy donât you call Jack and we can celebrate tonight?â
âSureâ¦â
As I agreed, my phone rang.
I looked at the screen and couldnât help but tighten my grip on the phone. When I answered, my body tensed up. âWhatâs up?â
On the other end of the line, the manâs voice was cold and detached, as if we had never had any relationship. âAre you free this afternoon?â
I stood by the window, letting the cold wind seep into my lungs, the chill permeating through me. My tone turned cold as well.
âDepends on what it is.â
âTo get the divorce certificate. Jus
âI have plenty of time.â
