Chapter 150 Calculated Moves
Awww just asking to piss me off” Queria was annoyed
ju
Yo pygay homones are acting up, and mood swings are common. I get that, but Ms. Backman, this holy isn’t even my
Kic baby husband’s so why do you keep bothering me?” I asked her back coldly,
Queena took a deep breath You’ve ruthless. De underestimatest you?
With your ego and arrogance, Edons many people ever live up to your standards. Let me guess, you’re trying to get Shawn to knowledge this child, trying to find a substitute, and I ruined your plan, that’s why you’re lashing out” As things started to make more seme, I couldn’t help but wonder if Shaven had also talless victim to her scheine in past life ton What a poor guy
Queen’s breathing grew heavier as she got more insitated, judging by her reaction, it seemed like I had hit the mark.
“Mrs Hartwell, not everyone is as manipulative as you do, I case you for having me followed” Quera diverted the subject immediately
Sue me? Do you have evidence?” I sabed an eyebrow.
Queena went silent. Clearly, she had none.
“Don’t get too arrogant. Shawn doesn’t love you and that’s the fact. Let’s see how long you can keep smiling” With that, Queena huing up angrily.
My heart fel a lile lighter. Her litle scheme had failed, after all
Later that afternoon, I took Melanie out to husch. She helped me look over the contract and gave me a teasing smile. “The contract looks fine. But your husband is offering you a 300–million annual salary? I’m so jealous. That’s top–tier pay for a senior manager. And you, a rookie, are already making that much? Having someone hacking you up is really something”
Let’s not talk about that. I said with a slight smile. “Shawn’s been really sickening lately, I want a divorce, but he won’t agree
Melanie looked completely unsurprised. ‘Of course not. For starters, you’re gorgeous, and not easy to replace. But more importantly, a divorce would affect his company’s stock. He can’t afford that kind of risk.
Her words stunned me. I’d never even considered how our divorce might impact his business. Now it made sense, that our divorce might really affect lus company’s stock. So the real reason is not about lingering feelings, but cold, hard calculation?
Men really are creatures of logic. I’d completely overlooked that.
“So what now? I really can’t keep living like this I sighed.
“Desperate to find someone new already?” Melanie gave me a knowing look. “But I get it. Seven years with the same man anyone would get bored. Here’s an idea Tell Shawn you’ll stay married, but you each live your own lives. Do your own thing. no questions asked. It’s basically the same as being single”
“You can actually do thur?” I raised a brow. Honestly, the idea didn’t sound bad. Give him his freedom, let him pursue. whatever pretty new thing he wants. The moment he finds someone else, he’ll want a divorce himself. I wouldn’t have to lift a finger.
“Rich people play like that all the time. People just don’t talk about it. We get cases like this at the firm constantly. But be careful, this kind of game can spiral out of control fast” Melanie was clearly used to this kind of thing
really had seen too little of the world. Two lifetimes, and I still took love way too seriously,
“Not a bad idea. I’ll keep it in mind.”
Having lunch with Melanie felt like a therapy session. All my stress melted away, leaving only relaxed feeling and laughter.

Finished
feel a bit excited.
Shawn had originally forbidden me from leaving the country. But after one good argument, he gave in. Maybe that’s the trick, when in doubt, argue it out.
There were three senior staff joining me on this business trip, one man and two women. One of the women had been working with Shawn for years. She was probably there to report back to him.
That night, Shawn showed up at my apartment with Yuna.
Yuna ran over and threw her arms around me. “Mommy! Daddy said you’re going overseas tomorrow and won’t be back for a few days. Can I sleep with you tonight, please?”
I said gently. “I’ve got a lot of work to do tonight and might be up late. You should go back with your dad.”
Shawn could tell I was keeping some distance from our daughter. Though he still seemed displeased, he didn’t say anything. Instead, he bent down and coaxed her, “Yuna, Mommy’s working really hard. Let’s not bother her, okay? I’ll take you home.”
“No, I don’t want to go home.” Yuna’s eyes welled up with tears as she clung to me. “Mommy, you don’t talk to me as much anymore. Did I do something wrong? If I did, just tell me. I’ll change, I promise!”
“You didn’t do anything wrong,” I said softly, gently prying her arms away. “Yuna, you’ll be starting elementary school soon. As a student, you need to start learning to be independent. Mommy is just guiding you on this journey, but your life is yours to live.
Shawn frowned. “She’s too young to understand what you’re saying ”
“She’ll understand eventually,” I replied, watching as Yuna’s little mouth pouting and her eyes brimming with tears.
Shawn sighed. “All right, is there anything I can help you with for your work?”
“Thank you, but it’s not necessary,” I said curtly. I didn’t have the patience to be polite with him anymore
Even Yuna seemed to notice too. She looked up at Shawn and asked, “Daddy, did you and Mommy already secretly divorced?”
