Chapter 143

I hesitated for a moment, glanced into the bag, and saw two exquisite velvet boxes inside. They contained the jade pendant Grandpa had prepared for the child.

A wave of intense pain swept through me. Goldly, I spoke, “This was something Grandpa prepared for the child. Since the child is no more, it should be returned to you.”

I realized he was completely unreasonable and impossible to reason with. I pursed my lips. “Ryan, I can accept other things, but this is too precious.”

He blurted out, “It’s given to you, not to someone else.”

I couldn’t help but clutch my hand tightly, suppressing the strange feeling in my heart, trying to remain rational. “Between us, we only lack one divorce certificate to settle things clearly.”

“Settle things?” Ryan’s indifferent eyes subtly raised. He looked at me calmly.

At first, I felt a bit embarrassed, but then I saw through his trick. I sneered. “Take it off then. Let everyone see your eight–pack and muscles.”

One button, two buttons, three buttons:

The shirt was taken off

Broad shoulders, narrow waist, a perfect invented triangle shape, revealing a large area of smooth and strong chest muscles, and faintly visible well defined abet

“Want me to take off more?”

He glanced at me casually, his fingers grasping the belt buckle, seemingly ready to

I stared at him in disbelief, pulled the curtain shut abruptly, grilled my teeth. “yon!

“Didn’t you tell me to take it off?”

He asked knowingly, seeming slightly innocent

Rolling my eyes, I picked up the black shirt and threw it back at him. “Sot tell you to do something and you just do #7”

Hearing this precise answer, my heart skipped a beat

He stared at me with his dark eyes. “Yes”

“You said #t/I thought for a moment, looking at him. “Before Grandpa left, he had a last wish thaven’t mentioned it to you, Grandpa said, Jessien is not allowed to enter the frost family Gan you do that?”

My heart sank bit by bit

the brow furrowed slightly, as if amused. “We told you many times already i don’t have those feelings for her anymore. Have you been listening? How could possibly many her? Charlotte, are you a fool the person i like now len’t her!”
