Chapter 359 Justin watched her actions thoughtfully but said nothing. He told her to sit down across the desk.
âYou came to see me. I assume you have some business?â
Stella nodded. âI wanted to ask about Robbâs offer to study abroad.â
Justin could probably tell her intentions.
He wanted to cut to the chase, but after thinking about it, he decided to explain.
âSorry about earlier. Tina and I have a little disagreement. She has no problem with you. Sheâs just unhappy with me.â Stella was actually a little curious about Justinâs matters with Tina. She asked politely, âMr. Hall, why are you guys always so tense? When you divorced, didnât you separate peacefully?â Justin understood her implication and laughed at himself mockingly. âActually, it wasnât that bad. It was a peaceful breakup. There were no major conflicts or cheating...â The two were still making efforts to keep the family steady even the day before the divorce. âThen why did you get divorced anyway?â Justin could not explain clearly. âPerhaps we just didnât see the need to stay together anymore. So, we divorced.
However, we didnât announce it immediately because of my son.â After a long time, Bryce finally discovered it. He threw a tantrum and almost ran away from home.
After they got Bryce back, they agreed on how they wanted to raise their son after the divorce. From that point on, Justin and Tina realized that they were almost like strangers.
Their divorce was a peaceful negotiation, but as time went on their resentment for each other grew. It grew to the point where the mere sight of each other would make them fight.
âForget it. Letâs not talk about me. Whatâs the reason you came today?â âI wanted to ask about Robb.â
Justin pulled out a file. âAbout his offer to study abroad, right? Iâve spoken to him.â âIs that so?â Stellaâs eyes lit up. âWhat did he say?â
Justinâs tone was a little heavy. âI intended to talk to you about this. To be frank, this offer to study abroad is very beneficial to him. With his qualification, heâll have a good prospect if he can go abroad to further study. Thereâs still a certain gap between the research level domestically and abroad. If he can learn foreign advanced technology and then come back to contribute to the country, I trust heâll have a good future. But...â
He frowned. âHe refused me decisively without even saying anything. I was going to discuss this with you.â
Stella paused for a moment. âDonât worry. Iâll talk to him about this. Iâm here mainly to make sure...â
Soon, it was evening. Justin got up from his seat. âI happened to be free. Why donât we have dinner together?â Stella was about to refuse, but Justin added, âYou can ask Robb to join us. We can have dinner in the cafeteria and talk about it.â
Stella could not refuse since he said that, so she called Roger.
Roger thought Stella paid him a special trip, but he saw Justin was there too. His face sank. âSis, Mr.
Hall...â Justin noticed that he greeted Stella first and did not comment about it. He told him to sit across from him. âYou should know what your sister and I want to talk about, right?â
âThis is our own business. Mr. Hall, I hope you can give me the space to make my own choices. I donât want outsiders to interfere...â Roger made his position clear before he even sat down. Stellaâs face turned gloomy. âHave you ever wanted to discuss this matter with me? Why did you refuse? Studying abroad is a great opportunity for you.â âI already said I donât want to leave...â âYouâre an adult.â Justin could not help but say, âItâs your future. I hope you can talk to Ella about it.â
The two of them seemed to be preaching. This provoked Roger and made him rebellious. He stood up abruptly. âI know youâre here to convince me, but Iâve already decided. Itâs useless for you to say anything!â
