Chapter 152

Author: Lean
We were already getting a divorce. I didn’t want to owe Ryan any favors!

Moreover, this debt belonged to Bob. There was no way I would pay for such a person.

"Of course, I know exactly who he is and what his status is."

The person with the hoarse voice pursed his lips, pressed the dial button, and turned on the loudspeaker. "We don't want to offend him either. If you really have nothing to do with him anymore, I'm not stupid enough to create trouble for myself."

Listening to the beeping sound from the phone, my began to race.

Should I ask him to save me, or should I distance myself?

Those two thoughts battled in my mind, but the moment the call connected, Ryan gave me the answer.

The voice that first came through was Jessica's.

"Who's calling? Why are you calling so late..."

My nails dug deep into my palms. It hurt. "It's me, Charlotte. Where's Ryan?"

He said he was just going to sign some documents.

Now, somehow, his phone ended up in Jessica's hands.

Jessica hesitated for

    Her reaction had been within Caleb's expectations.He couldn't help but hold her hand and said gently, "If you don't want to go, I'll talk to Aunt Dianne."Whitney looked at their hands together, and after a moment, still pulled hers back."It's fine. This is my job."Caleb had always known that she didn't like him interfering too much in her work.Last time, he had deliberately taken her on leave to the islands, and although she wasn't happy, she hadn't lost her temper with him.Deep down, she still felt inferior compared to him. No matter how much she wanted to lash out at him, she held it in.But he wanted her to feel equal to him.He wanted her to express her anger.Only then could he guide her forward."Not all work has to be done. If it makes you unhappy, why do it? You don't need to force yourself anymore. You don't have to suffer."Whitney was in a terrible mood at that moment.Caleb confessing his feelings had already caused enough chaos.Now there was also the tr

    But after the meal, Dianne called Whitney into her office."You're not someone who gets distracted at work.""Are you in love, or is something going on? Tell me, and I'll see if I can help you solve the problem."When Whitney heard the word "love," she immediately denied it. "I'm not in love. I'm currently married."Dianne didn't continue talking about love. "What happened? It's rare to see you like this."Whitney couldn't say.After all, it was about Caleb and Dianne was part of the Hilton family."Sorry, I'll adjust myself. I'll definitely do my job well."Dianne asked, "Can you go on a business trip? An inspection in another city."Whitney nodded. "I can. How many days will it take?""A week. Go pack tonight. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning.""Okay.""Go ahead and get back to work."Whitney left the office, went to the restroom, splashed cold water on her face to wake herself up, then returned to her desk and worked seriously.A team member came to report and, seeing

    It seemed that Janet already knew about Caleb's confession to her.Otherwise, how could someone so busy suddenly remember to remind her to eat and take her medicine?That had always been Caleb's job."Also, remember to keep warm. If the pain gets too bad, call me — I'll take you to the hospital."Whitney replied politely, "Okay, thank you."Then she heard the doorbell ring.When she opened the door, it was the Hilton family's driver delivering her dinner."Thank you.""It's my duty. Madam said to make sure you eat well."Whitney nodded.After closing the door, she took her pre-meal medication first.Then she messaged Tanner to ask whether missing one dose at noon would have any impact.Tanner said it was fine but also reminded her not to forget regularly.The body was her own.Yes, the body was her own.She had fought so hard to live — not to destroy herself.And she couldn't let anyone else destroy her either.She opened the insulated bag. Inside, the dishes were made

    If someone was coming to hang out, she would definitely welcome them."I need some time to take things in.""Okay." Jane also thought she needed some time. "But don't overthink it. If you're stuck, just say something in the group chat — we're all here for you.""Alright."Whitney hung up the phone and felt an itch on her face.When she reached up to touch it, her hand came away wet.They were tears.She hadn't cried in a long time.Aside from the involuntary ones that came during certain moments in bed.She was moved.Deeply moved.Caleb didn't know where else to go, so he went back to his own company."Dad, I'm staying in your lounge for a while.""Huh?"Janet was also there and casually handed him a cup of coffee. "Got kicked out of the house?"Caleb took a sip and frowned at the bitterness.It was an espresso."What's this? Are you really my mom?"Janet said, "It's to perk you up. You look pretty down."Caleb was indeed feeling down, but he wasn't into bitterness.

    "It's not a confession..."Whitney didn't know how to explain it. "Did my brother say something to him?"Jane replied, "I understand, you don't believe that he could like you."Whitney fell silent.Should she believe it?She probably shouldn't."Tell me your reasons."Whitney scratched her head, unsure how to explain.She had considered many possibilities.But never once had she thought that Caleb might like her.It was completely unreasonable."I just think..."She thought for a moment, then decided to speak frankly. "How could I be worthy of his liking?""Why aren't you worthy?" Jane immediately retorted. "Do you have missing limbs? Even if you were missing these organs, why wouldn't someone like you? There's no need for a reason to like someone, liking someone is just liking them. You've known each other for a year now, he must have seen your strengths."Regarding the fact that Caleb had known Whitney long before, Jane didn't plan to mention it.That should be somethi

    But...At that moment, when she heard all that, she didn’t give it too much thought.She just thought that she had made a mistake by suggesting a divorce last night.So she said, "Sorry, I didn't understand. I won't bring it up again in the future."Caleb had a headache.He had never had such a headache before.He spoke for so long, yet she still misunderstood."Did you not understand anything I said earlier?"Whitney honestly shook her head.Caleb sighed, "When you mentioned divorce, wasn't it because you were angry, suspecting that I’m cheating on you?""I wasn't angry, I just thought if you have someone you like...""The person I like is you."Whitney froze.She had no idea what Caleb was talking about.It was like he had eaten poisonous mushrooms.Caleb also realized that once he said this, she would surely not believe him."Whitney Collins.""Huh?"He was so serious. When he called her full name, she automatically straightened her back.Caleb moved closer to her

    "I’ve told you what my sister is thinking. I even gave you advice, but don’t blame me if you’re not going to listen."Caleb suddenly remembered something.Westley had said before that Jane could help him with Whitney.He hung up the phone.He thought for a moment, then got out of the car and entered the house.When he returned to the master bedroom, he saw that she was already asleep.She clearly didn't care about him.Even if he said he liked her, she wouldn't believe it.Jane had listened to the whole conversation.She asked Zachary, "What naughty thoughts are you having again?"Zachary hugged her. "I'm only loyal to you now."Jane reached up and drew circles on his chest."Oh? How do I feel like you've tricked me into this too?"Zachary caught her hand and kissed it. "The one who understands me the most is you."Whitney thought that when she woke up, it would be the same as before, not seeing Caleb.But when she went downstairs, he had already prepared breakfast."Co

    After finishing a bowl of herbal tea, Whitney still couldn't figure anything out.She had asked him earlier, but from his expression, it seemed like he didn't want to talk.Since that was the case, she decided to pretend she didn't know.If he wanted to be intimate later, she would take the opportunity to ask."Thank you."Caleb pursed his lips a little, but he didn't say anything.He took the empty bowl and returned to the kitchen.Whitney wasn't sure if she should go to the study, so she just waited.After a while, he came over and handed her the phone."Go read."Whitney immediately went to the study.Caleb stood where he was, watching her figure disappear around the corner.She didn't even ask properly and was already thinking of bringing up divorce?Caleb couldn’t believe how easily the divorce was mentioned.She had already made her judgment.She hadn't even considered the business interests between the two families.Otherwise, how could she have spoken of divorce

    Whitney didn't understand.He already had someone he liked, why not give that woman a legitimate identity?She didn't insist on holding the position of his wife.Why did she feel that Caleb was even more angry?Since he was angry, she decided not to continue talking."I'm going to read..."Caleb didn't let go, his large hand firmly holding her slim waist.Whitney didn't really want to be with him.He had been with someone else for so many days...But he looked like he was still angry, and if he forced himself on her, she couldn't resist."I don't feel well..."She probably was about to start her period. A couple of days before her period, her lower abdomen would hurt and she would get migraines.She also felt irritated.But she could tolerate it.Besides, no one would care about her discomfort, whether she said it or not didn't matter.Caleb placed her on the couch.Whitney thought he had understood her hint, so she got up and walked toward the study.But he stopped on
