Chapter 1069 “Okay. Go back to your room first. I‘ll have a few words with your mom. I‘ll tutor you later.”

“Okay. I‘ll be in my room then”

“You can go.”

Bryce turned around and walked a few steps, but he suddenly turned back. “Mom, Dad…” He looked at his parents cautiously. “Can you not fight?”

Justin‘s heart throbbed when he saw the longing and hopeful expression on his son‘s face. He opened his mouth and tasted a l ittle bitterness. “We‘re not fighting. Don‘t overthink things. Study hard. Your midterms are coming.” “Oka y. I‘ll study hard. Mom, Dad… Stop fighting…”

After that, Bryce ran back to his room.

Tina dropped her work and sighed softly. “Sorry…”

Justin did not look at her. He only helped her put the messy papers on her desk in order. “You should talk to Bryce about that.”

Tina paused a little. She frowned, staring at Justin‘s actions. “Don‘t touch these. They contain confident ial information.”

“Okay, I won‘t.”

Justin put down the file in his hand without looking at it. “Sort it out yourself. I‘ll go help Bryce with his homework. We‘ll take him out to the movies later…”

Before Justin could finish, Tina interrupted him, “The movies?”

Tina looked troubled. “I don‘t think I can make it. I still have a lot of work to do…”

Tina saw Justin looking at herself expressionlessly and could only sigh. “I‘m really sorry, but I have to d o my best in this case.”

“Is this case so important to you?” Justin asked her.

Tina nodded. “It is. You know it too. I‘ve always needed just one more case to become the top lawyer in my firm…”

“If I remember correctly, you‘re already the top lawyer in your firm.”

“It‘s different.” Tina sighed and pressed her forehead hard.

“If I had a choice , I would definitely like to accompany my son. I would go to the movies and amusement parks with him, but this time, this one is really critical…”

Tina looked up and met his gaze. “It‘s the same as your performance evaluation before. You‘re just a st ep short. Are you willing to give in to your competitors?”

Justin said nothing and gave her a long look. After a long silence, he asked, “Are you so invested in this case because of Stella?”

After he asked the question, he saw Tina‘s face slowly turn serious. Then, she asked him with a derisiv e tone,“ What do you think?”

“I‘m asking you a question.”

“I‘m not,” Tina said, “But why do I feel like you care?”

Justin gave her a look. “No need to look at me like that. It‘s over between her and me.”

“It never started, did it?”

Tina teased him. “She‘s been with Weston for so long. Why would she agree to marry you? I‘m really cu you that charming? How did you win Weston‘s woman?”

Justin looked a little frustrated, and he cut her off. “You better not show the child this mean side of yours After that, he turned to leave.

The two ended up arguing again. Tina watched Justin leave and felt a slight headache.
