Ulric’s thin lips were tightly pressed together. Although he didn’t speak, the atmosphere had plummeted to its lowest point…
Rosalind had never seen him like this before and instinctively took a step back.
Realizing that he had frightened her, Ulric’s handsome face softened slightly, and his voice was low and hoarse.
“I don’t agree.”
“Mr. Walters, I know this situation has put you in a difficult position, so I’ll handle the rest myself. I can find a way to prove what I haven’t done.” However, now that W Group had decided to fire her, they would inevitably be on opposing sides in arbitration or court.
So Rosalind wanted to clarify her relationship with Ulric first.
“Rosalind, come home with me,” Ulric’s tone was gentle and patient, as if coaxing a willful wife who had run away from home.
It was completely different from his earlier stern demeanor.
This was at Tilda’s doorstep, and Rosalind knew she couldn’t entangle with Ulric for too long. Even if Tilda wasn’t home now, Ulric’s status and his frequent appearances on business magazine covers would make him recognizable to passersby!
That would only complicate matters further!
But she didn’t want to go back with Ulric either.
“As for the penalty for breaching our agreement, you can send it to me via WeChat once you’ve calculated it. I won’t renege on it, but today isn’t a good day to discuss this. Mr. Walters, could you please leave?”
This was probably the first time in Ulric’s life that someone had asked him to leave.
But when Ulric looked up at her, there was no anger, only disappointment.
He thought that after spending time together, Rosalind would at least have a little bit of affection for him.
If she hadn’t so easily mentioned breaking up today, Ulric would have thought she was starting to reciprocate his feelings.
“Do you know where I came from?”
“What?” Rosalind was taken aback by his sudden question.
“The plane from Fragrant Harbor just landed, and I came straight here,” Ulric’s slightly wrinkled shirt already proved this. “From noon until now, I haven’t eaten anything. Come with me.”
“…”
Although she didn’t know why Ulric suddenly changed the subject, he had lowered his stance so much that she couldn’t refuse this request, considering how he had taken care of her before.
After a few seconds of hesitation, Rosalind nodded, “Okay.”
In the end, she got into Ulric’s car. This time, Cedric wasn’t with them, it was just the two of them in the car.
Neither of them spoke. It wasn’t until they were almost at the restaurant that Ulric’s phone, placed on the center console, beeped.
Rosalind instinctively glanced down and saw that it seemed to be a message from his father.
[You must marry Sirena! This is not a choice. Your mother’s condition has worsened again. She just went to the hospital rooftop herself, and it was only thanks to a nurse’s timely intervention that she was saved! Are you planning to ignore your own mother for that woman?]
Because there were many words, Rosalind hadn’t finished reading when Ulric took his phone back.
Another minute of silence followed until Rosalind spoke up.
“When do you have time? Let’s get the divorce certificate.”
“What is the reason for the divorce?”
“…”
Ulric suddenly turned his gaze to her face. “There is nothing between Sirena and me.”
