Selden’s voice sounded rather helpless. However, he didn’t seem to dwell on the sadness even though he had broken up. He even joked with Ava, so she had no idea how to comfort him at all.

We can fix his dissatisfaction with the project as well, and I’ll try my best to make it up to you if you’ve been displeased with me, alright?” “But what’s the point of asking me to inform him?” “Since you’re his wife, can’t you solve this issue easily by talking to him? Ava, could it be that you’re unwilling to do that?” “It’s not that, but…” How could she possibly have the right to speak to Damien in the current situation? Obviously, Damien was targeting her!
