A Night with Her Cruel Mate

"There's no need for that." Terence looked at Jean with confident eyes. "I noticed that you are always busy with the company's affairs. Since you are rather committed, I'm positive that you can make decisions by yourself. You don't have to report everything to me."

"I can't do that! You also have shares in the company. Besides, it's my first time to run a company. I'm terrified that my lack of experience will lead to problems in the company. So, I will be more relieved if you can help me manage it."

Jean flashed a smile. "That's everything I need to report. If you don't think it's a problem, I'll leave now."

"Wait a minute!" Terence hurriedly stopped Jean. "Jean, I'm deeply sorry for what my mother did to you. Her reaction was out of my expectations. I didn't think that she would go to you..."

"It doesn't matter." Before Terence could finish his words, Jean interrupted him. "It's a rather good thing for me. I feel stressed while living in your house. With all of the kindness you've shown me, I always felt like I owe you something and can't pay you back.

Well, now, I owe you less."

"Jean." When he saw Jean's kind reaction, Terence frowned slightly. "Please understand that it was never my intention to make you owe me anything. I just wanted to help you."

"It's fine. I understand." Jean looked at Terence devoutly. "I have also thought about it carefully. Even before this happened, I already realized that your mother thinks of me as a vile woman who destroys your marriage. It doesn't matter. I don't mind it."

"Don't worry. I will explain it to my mother," Terence hurriedly said. "You have nothing to do with my divorce with Julia."
