Beyond the Divorce

Instead of chatting aimlessly with him here, I'd rather go straight to the design institute. I could meet Joyce there and discuss the wedding arrangements with her directly, and I could also see Hana. I hadn't seen her since my father was rescued.

The Reese family had worked tirelessly to ensure my safety at the construction site, so of course I had to go see the child. Besides, I really missed the little guy.

Ryan quickly stood up from his chair. "I really don't understand. Is this your wedding or mine? Why are you so nervous?"

"Thank goodness I didn't marry you. It wouldn't have lasted long." I glanced at him in disdain, grabbed my bag, and left.

I could hear him muttering behind me. "If you had married me, you wouldn't have this attitude!"

I rolled my eyes and silently cursed him in my heart. What a jerk! He was so stubborn!
