Right away!”
Cedrick changed his clothes, made himself look sharp, and sped to the office.
Harlan was also told to attend the board meeting. “What’s so urgent that we have to meet right now?”
He muttered to himself that he still had to go to the office, but he needed to go home to change; he had clothes at Maricela’s, but he’d worn them for two days, and the rest were too casual for the office.
When he got home, the house was unusually quiet, without a single sound.
“Nicole?”
He called out, but no one answered.
Did she go to the hospital?
“Son!”
He called out again, but still no one answered. Did the nanny take him out to play?
The nanny came out and called him, “Sir.”
“Where’s my wife?”
He asked casually, figuring she was definitely at the hospital.
“Your wife…” the nanny trailed off.
“What’s wrong?”
“Your wife left.”
“Left?
Where did she go?”
Harlan frowned.

“She said she went back to her ancestral family home.”
“Her ancestral family home?
Is her mom all better?”
“She didn’t say.”
“And Jacob Hall?”
“She took him with her.”

Harlan thought Nicole had taken the kids to take her sick mom back to their ancestral family home, so he didn’t think much of it, changed his clothes, and went to the office.
When he got to the office, he found Cedrick standing at the front desk.
“Cedrick, what are you doing here?”
Was the boss actually playing doorman?
“Is there anything important in the meeting today?”
“You go on up first.”
As Cedrick spoke, he saw Lucille getting out of a car.
He immediately went over to greet her.
Harlan looked back. He really was playing doorman…
Lucille was also very surprised to see Cedrick. “What could make the great Cedrick himself stand here and wait?”
Cedrick looked a little embarrassed. “Lucille…”
Lucille gave a slight smile. “Afraid I’ll get burned to death halfway here again?”
Cedrick’s face instantly turned red and pale.
Lucille didn’t look at him again and walked straight into the company building.
The receptionist had been replaced; Lucille still didn’t recognize them.
“Hello…”

The receptionist had just said two words when Cedrick caught up from behind. “She’s here to see me.”
The receptionist didn’t ask anything else and politely held the elevator for them.
Lucille didn’t quite understand. For the past five years, Cedrick had been as busy as a spinning top. Forget coming down to meet her, he couldn’t even find time to reply to a message.
Back then, she used to blame herself, wondering if the messages she sent him were too boring and trivial, distracting him from his work.
But after Maricela came back, forget messages–his entire person was available. As long as Maricela needed him, he would drop everything and rush to her side.
So, it wasn’t that he was really that busy.
He just didn’t care.
How long does it take to reply to a message?
One second?
Two seconds?
It was just like her and her grandmother.
If her grandmother sent her a message, no matter how busy she was, she would reply or call back immediately, regardless of what her grandmother said.
In the elevator, Lucille didn’t say a word.
Cedrick, on the other hand, tried to speak several times, but Lucille kept pulling out her phone to look at it, stopping him from getting a word in.
Finally, he found an opportunity when Lucille put her phone back in her bag and quickly spoke up, “Are you busy?
Staring at your phone the whole time?”
Lucille nodded. “Yes, didn’t I tell you?
My brother is at home planning my divorce party for tonight, and he needs to coordinate with
me.”
Cedrick’s face visibly soured. “Mr. Cruz is really happy to see us get divorced, isn’t he!”

Lucille nodded again. “Of course. Aren’t you?“.
“1…”
