He squinted his eyes slightly. âItâs fine. I have money.â
I was at a loss for words. After all, he was right. I could only nod. âAlright, then I⦠Iâll leave now. Iâll send the certificate to the Frost familyâs residence once itâs ready.â
When I returned to the Charlotte Jewelry, someone was already in the office.
Jack looked at me with a helpless expression. âWhy did you just run back to the country without saying a word? If I hadnât talked to Dave, I wouldnât have known you were back.â
âI saw from your social media that you were on a business trip abroad.â I smiled. âI was planning to tell you when you got back.â
As soon as I finished speaking, Jane walked in with a lively stride in high heels and cocked her brows.â Did you get it sorted this time?â
I nodded. âYes, I did.â
âReally?â Jane didnât believe it. âShow me.â
I had told her last night that I was going to get the divorce certificate from Ryan today.
She was skeptical, thinking something would probably go wrong again.
I handed her the divorce certificate. âSee for yourself. Itâs the real thing.â
Last time, due to inexperience, I was tricked by a fake certificate Ryan provided.
Janeâs face lit up with joy. âFinally, you got rid of that broken marriage.â
Jack was a bit surprised. âYou and Ryan are completely divorced now?â
âYeah, just today.â
âThen, let me treat you to dinner today.â
Jack chuckled lightly. âFirst, to welcome you back to the country, and second, to celebrate your divorce.â
âAwesome!â Jane gave him a thumbsâup. âCan we have whatever we want?â
âFeel free.â
I was amused and let them make the plans.
After learning from Nancyâs experience, I no longer left Important design drafts in the office.
Before leaving work, I packed up my drawing board and left the office with the two of them.
The dinner reservation was made by Jane.
It was a wellâknown private restaurant in Jelaston, specializing in authentic local cuisine.
The environment was elegant.
As Jack poured us juice, he asked casually, âCharlotte, how long are you planning to stay in the country this time?â

âIf everything went well, I probably wonât leave.â
Frankes was nice, but I always felt like I was drifting from place to place.
Jack looked surprised for a moment and then smiled. âWhen did you decide that?â
âIâve always had this idea. Actually, I never planned to settle in Frankesâ¦â
While speaking, the waiter pushed the door open to serve the dishes. I instinctively looked towards the door and saw a bodyguard in black pushing a wheelchair.
This time, there were no other bodyguards blocking the view.
I immediately recognized that the person in the wheelchair was Frank.
I stood up and ran outside, searching around in the direction he had gone, but there was no one in sight.
I stood in the middle of the corridor, stunned for a while, looking at the passing waiters as if that glimpse had been a mere illusion.
Suddenly, a door to a private room behind me opened.
Standing inside was the woman who had opened the door for me at Jelaston Summit. With the door slightly ajar, she leaned against the other half of the door and asked, âAre you looking for Frank?â
The possibility Jane had mentioned the other day came to mind.
For a moment, I didnât know how to respond.
But I wanted to know Frankâs current situation.
I clenched my fists, trying to avoid causing any misunderstandings between them, and said as calmly as possible, âYes, Iâm a friend of his. Is he inside?â
âFrank.â Unexpectedly, the woman opened the door fully and turned back with a charming smile, looking at the man seated at the main seat, saying enigmatically, âYour âfriendâ is looking for you.â
