Chapter 3

I took a deep breath and swallowed all the past grievances.

"How can you call helping her a stupid thing? If she knows you think like this, she might not call you next time."

"Divorce is for your own good, so that you don't have to suffer so much for me. It's better for me not to be your wife."

Since I was willing to endure hardships with him, I am not someone who sought wealth and status. If he truly found his superior difficult to work with, he could simply resign and not work there anymore.

He insisted on claiming to do things for my own good, but he had done nothing but harm me along with his female boss.

"Nonsense! Unreasonable!"

My words were like ignited gunpowder, which made Shaw angrily slam the door and leave.

After he left, I tidied myself up and went to the company.

Just downstairs, I ran into David, my boss.

"Jane, why did I hear from HR that you are going to resign?"

Yesterday I found out that I was pregnant using a pregnancy test. Thinking that I had won fifty million, I confidently submitted my resignation letter to my employer.

"It was nothing. I just got confused for a moment yesterday."

David immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"I thought it was that project that scared you away. It's okay if you don't want to challenge the difficulty. There are also many new projects that suit you."

David was my senior, and he had always been grooming me for higher positions. But I resigned to become Shaw's wife.

"I want to try the project in France."

David immediately stopped and looked at me with joy.

"Jane, are you serious?"

I nodded.

"Can your partner agree to it?"

I knew that my previous thoughts of being a housewife have caused David a lot of headaches.

But he also respected my choice and did not interfere too much.

"My career is more important. Besides, I'm planning to get a divorce."

David tried to comfort me, but didn't know where to start.

Because he witnessed the ten years of my love and acquaintance with Shaw.

"David, don't worry, I will definitely focus on my career in the future!"

"Good! I believe you!"

He no longer mentioned Shaw to me.

We had a whole day meeting for the project in French, and basically determined the team's travel plan and project development policy.

By the time I finished my work, it was already time to get off work.

Picking up my phone, I realized that Shaw had called me more than ten times.

In the past, even if he called me once, I would be happy and spinning in the office.

But at this moment, I felt no joy, but rather a bit annoyed.

This was the feeling of him being constantly bombarded by phone calls from me.

Indeed, it was very annoying.

"After a busy day, let's go eat together and discuss the details?"

Today's meeting still had many details that I was not sure about. Faced with David's invitation, I did not refuse.

I didn't answer Shaw's call and went directly to the restaurant with David.

When the waiter took us to the seat, coincidentally, Shaw and Amy were sitting next to us.

David coldly glanced at them and asked the waiter to change our seats.

I knew, as smart as he was, he had already guessed why I wanted a divorce.

"Jane, you don't reply to messages or answer calls, but you have time to have dinner with the boss?"

When we were leaving, Shaw quickly stopped us.

"I was busy, I didn't check my phone."

Shaw's face immediately turned black.

"Then how do you have time to accompany him for a meal?"

"Don't you know that Amy and I have been waiting for you here for a whole hour?"

I was a little stunned.

Amy explained with a smile.

"Last night's incident caused trouble for you two, it's my fault. I wanted to invite you to have a meal together, clarify the misunderstanding, and make up for your anniversary yesterday."

I couldn't help but laugh.

Whose anniversary was celebrated by three people together?

"You are exaggerating. Shaw helped you all night, and I also received money. Where is the misunderstanding from?"

David suddenly hugged my shoulder, separating me from Shaw.

"Do you mind if I join? After all, it doesn't sound right for three people to celebrate an anniversary."
