“Don’t tell me anything about him from now on,” I said.
The smile on Jorgie’s face instantly froze. “Christine?”
I added, “And happy birthday, Jorgie.”
“Wait, Christine… Don’t hang up…”
But the sound of the call disconnecting could be heard loud and clear.
Jorgie was completely stunned. It felt like his phone had turned into a lump of hot coal.
He really wanted to slap himself.
Why did he decide to meddle for no reason? What did he just do?
The room was completely silent.
Hansen calmly looked at everyone and let out a chuckle. “Have you all gone mute?”
No one dared to speak.
Hansen laughed again. “Do none of you have anything to say?”
“Hansen…”
“Calm down, you’re bleeding even more!”
“Hansen, you know how Christine’s temper can be.”
Wendy Steel, who had been sitting quietly in a corner all this time, suddenly spoke up. “Actually, I’ve wanted to say this for a long time. What you did to her was too cruel. She’s still a woman with her pride. Even if you didn’t love her anymore, you should have ended things properly…
“Who the hell said I wanted to end things cleanly?” Hansen sneered as he said icily, “She was with me for seven years. Even a dog would have been attached by now!”
Wendy smiled faintly. “But have you ever thought about it? How many years does she have to give to you? What if she never comes back?”
“That’s impossible.” No one noticed that Hansen’s voice trembled ever so slightly.
“Is there anything that’s truly impossible? If a heart has been shattered and turned cold, how hard do you think it would be to warm it up again?
“Hansen, stop doing things you’ll regret for the rest of your life,” Wendy said and immediately picked up her bag
to leave.
Sitting not far away, Ronald Mann watched his wife of two years leave with a dark expression.
Was she simply standing up for Christine?
Or was she projecting her own pain and blaming him for treating her badly?
“Ronald, aren’t you going to see your wife out?”
Ronald smirked and lit up a cigarette. “Who’s my wife? My wife is busy filming a drama. She’ll only be back next
month.”
