After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

The atmosphere in the dining room dropped to a freezing point, with a subtle tension in the air.

Adrien stood off to the side, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead.

Lila spoke up, "Mom, brother, please stop arguing. It's true that Adrien didn't handle this well. He's indeed reached retirement age. Let him go home and enjoy his retirement."

Nathalie turned to look at her, took her hand, and said, "Lila, you always side with your brother. But since you've spoken, let's just drop this matter."

Then she glanced at the butler. "You don't need to come in tomorrow."

Adrien opened his mouth to say something, but Nathalie shot him a warning look, silencing him. He turned and left without another word.

Nathalie then turned to Aaron, "Why are you still standing there? Go upstairs and change your clothes before you burn yourself."

Lila added, "Brother, Mom cares about you. The only reason she didn't agree to let Adrien go before was because we're used to him, and she was worried about adjusting to someone new. Please don't stay mad, okay?" Like a little angel, she moved back and forth between Nathalie and Aaron, easing the tension between them.

Nathalie's expression softened visibly. "Alright, let's eat."
