Ulric didn’t respond to his question, but his mind could no longer focus on work.
“I’ve known you for so long, Ulric, and apart from Rosalind, you’ve never made exceptions for anyone else! You are meticulous and even strict with yourself, so don’t try to fool me. Be honest, did you reconcile with Rosalind? Did you remarry?”
“No.”
“You didn’t get married; it’s just a facade.” Johnny hit the nail on the head, leaving the usually composed Ulric speechless.
Seeing Ulric’s silence, Johnny pursed his lips and sighed, “I know what you’re thinking. Your mother is pressuring you to marry Sirena, and you don’t want to accept it. So you’re putting on this act to make them give up and to show them that you will never marry Sirena, right?”
“I just don’t want to be entangled anymore.”
Over the years, countless women had tried to get close to him, wanting to establish some connection. Some even waited at his company entrance, trying every possible way to get his contact information.
Now that Ulric had publicly announced his marriage, he hoped it would settle things once and for all.
“So, you’re really not getting back together with Rosalind?”
“No.”
Johnny was silent for a few seconds before raising his thick eyebrows and saying, “So you’re really not planning to reconcile with Rosalind? You’ve completely given up on her!”
Ulric looked up at him, “Did my mom ask you to say this?”
“Of course not! If I were on your parents’ side, would I be here talking to you about this? They genuinely believe you’re getting married. When they asked me, I even spoke up for you! I said at your age, a quick marriage is normal!”
“She gave up on me long ago; it’s not me giving up on her.”
On the plane leaving Wayer City, Ulric had several times wanted to leave a message for Cedric, asking him to check on Rosalind’s condition, but in the end, he didn’t send it.
Over the years, he had made decisive decisions in business deals worth billions, tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions. But when it came to matters involving Rosalind, he was always indecisive!
“You announced your marriage publicly; she must have seen it too. If she actually wanted to come back to you and saw the news of your marriage, it would truly be over between you two. Are you willing to let Rosalind go?”
Johnny leaned in closer, trying to read Ulric’s expression.
He wasn’t sure about other things, but he deeply felt Ulric’s love for Rosalind! Even someone as stoic as Ulric could show care and tenderness because of her. This clearly indicated that Rosalind’s position was irreplaceable.
Now that Ulric had announced his marriage, it seemed like he was cutting off all his options!
He felt it wasn’t that simple.
“In the days without me, she has indeed been doing well. Back then… she didn’t lie to me.” She really didn’t need him.
“Did you find out about her?”
“Not exactly found out; I happened to learn about her recent situation.”
Johnny frowned and spread his hands, speaking as if it were obvious.
“Logically speaking, she should indeed be living better now! Previously, Rosalind had to earn money everywhere to pay for her mother’s medical bills, which was a significant expense! Now she doesn’t have to; her mother-”
Ulric suddenly looked up, frowning tightly, “What about her mother?”
Realizing he had slipped up, Johnny immediately covered his mouth and shook his head, “Nothing, nothing!”
“Speak!”
