Today was the day to sign the contract. Shawn, as the representative of the partnering company, didn't show up until ten. Moreover, he was wear a baby carrier and cradling his newborn daughter in his arms. to everyone, yet a hint of pride on his face.

"Sorry, guys, got held up feeding the little one," Shawn apologized with a bow to every

With that, he held his baby close with one arm while he picked up the contract with the other. The baby might have felt uncomfortable and started to fuss and cry.

Shawn immediately put down the contract and gently patted his baby's back to soothe her.

Seated across from him, Edwin watched this scene with clear disgust on

Shawn, far from embarrassed, looked at him reproachfully, "Come on, you're a dad too. Don't you understand the joy of just having a childr Shawn's words caught Edwin off guard, leaving him speechless for a moment. Although he'd become a father earlier, he had never really looked after Irene. At first, he was too busy with work, and later, when Irene got older, she'd hide whenever she saw him. Edwin might not have been in debt to anyone, but he did owe his daughter.

After the contract was signed, Ray couldn't resist reminding Edwin, "Well, even for the kid's sake, you shouldn't have split with Sharon. Do you really think anyone will truly cherish your daughter after she's away from her own family? Aren't you afraid she'll end up too pitiful?"

"What's the use of talking about it? The marriage is already over" Edwin replied gloomily.

"A divorce can always be reversed, can't it?" said Ray

"Yeah, that's why Sharon was so determined to divorce, Edric chimed in and smacked his phone against the armrest of his chair. "See? Just now, Sharon made a statement clarifying her relationship with Randall. She says they're just friends, and she's always seen Randall as her little brother?

Hearing this, Ray Immediately checked his phone, and true enough, there was Sharon's clarification statement via Randall's Twitter.

TII bet you anything that Sharon's gonna show up at that entrepreneur dinner tomorrow night. She'll sweet-talk Edwin, apologize, and then hint they should make up," Edric said. He believed all those rumors abour Sharon, Rocky, and Randall were just tricks played by Sharon to get Edwin back.

"If she can pull that off, it could be an opportunity, Ray said, looking at Edwin meaningfully and giving his shoulder a firm squeeze. "She might have her schemes, but she was always devoted during the marriage

Perhaps because of Edric's words, all of Edwin's close friends showed up to the entrepreneur dinner the next day. Aside from Ray, Shawn, and Edric, two others had especially returned from abroad.

As predicted, Sharon showed up at the event. She looked delicate and adorable in her outfit. Her white dress perfectly covered her knees, and her matching high heels showcased her slender, straight legs. However, she was so thin it almost made her look fragile, her delicate face lightly made up and all the more emphasized her petite and helplessness.

Edric lifted his chin in disdain. Told you so. Within thirty seconds, she'll definitely come looking for Edwin His lips curved into an ironic smile.

Edwin had been silently sipping his drink. Even though he didn't say anything, he put down his drink when he saw Sharon walking toward him. And there was no Tilda by his side today like usual,

When people around them saw Sharon walking over to Edwin, their faces revealed understanding as they waited for the drama to u

Edwin lifted his chin out of habit, curious to see what kind of play Sharon might put on to apologize.

"I've been waiting for you for a while. Perhaps because of her outfit, Sharon's words sounded full of grievance, making her look more pitiful. Edwin morted and said, "If you're not sincerely here to apologize, then you should..."

But before he could finish, Sharon walked past him and toward another non, Only then did Edwin realize she wasn't there for him at all.

Tim sorry, Got caught in trafic." Across from Sharon, the man was mature and relaxed, revealing a pleasant undle,

Everyone was silent.

Sharon had been so focused on seeing Blake that she hadn't even noticed Edwin on her way, and the daregarded Edwin hail anger burnungg in lús Chapter 17

"It's a bit noisy here. Let's chat over there", Blake suggested as they left together. Though they weren't holding hands, their proximity and intimacy paved the way for all kinds of assumptions

Edwin didn't know what was happening with him. He gripped his fist an hard that he didn't notice he'd crushed his glass until the shards sliced his skin, and the sting snapped him back to reality. "Oh my, you're hurt!" Someone reached out, gently holding Edwin's cut hand. "You need to be more careful."
