At least... at least she was his wife. That was one thing Noreen could never take from her. But she never imagined that Dn would ask for a divorce. She had thrown tantrums, started fights, cried, and even begged... But nothing could change Dn''s mind. He was dead set on divorcing her. He was even willing to give up the joint projects between Omniva Group and her family, ceding the majority of the benefits. Crystal''s eyes, red and swollen, stared at Noreen, filled with resentment. "Stop ying innocent with me. Don''t think I don''t know..." "Crystal!" A cold voice barked from behind her. Crystal''s words died in her throat, which felt as if it were stuffed with a wad of cold, damp cotton. She couldn''t utter another sound. Dn strode over, his gaze flickered downward, his tone icy. "I''ll have the driver take you home." Crystal resisted. She hade here today to reconcile with Dn. She had told him clearly that she didn''t want a divorce. She had said she wanted to have a child with him, believing a child would keep him from leaving her. Right there in Dn''s office, she had taken off her clothes and thrown herself at him. But Dn had coldly pushed her away. For Crystal, it was a profound humiliation. She had been the apple of her family''s eye her entire life, getting whatever she wanted. Yet with Dn, she had stumbled time and time again. And so she had fled his office in shame... only to run into Noreen. The moment she saw the woman she had always considered her rival, she lost allposure, unable to bear the thought of them meeting. "I don''t want to." Crystal clutched at the corner of Dn''s shirt, pleading with him. "Honey, I don''t want to go home." "Crystal, I''ve said everything I need to say. From now on, talk to mywyer." Dn pulled his hand away and took a half- step back. Those simple words made Crystal''s entire body go rigid. In that instant, her world copsed. Thest glimmer of light in her eyes was extinguished by Dn''s coldness. Her reddened eyes locked onto him. He remained impassive. An endless bitterness soured in her heart. Dn nced at his assistant. The assistant understood immediately and moved to escort Crystal away. Crystal was practically dragged off. Noreen witnessed all of this, and everything became clear. "It seems today isn''t a good day to report on work," Noreen said in a light tone. A ripple passed through Dn''s eyes. "Then let''s not talk about work. It''s lunchtime. How about we grab a bite together?" he invited. "I''m sorry, I have ns," Noreen replied, using a casual excuse to decline. She was clearly keeping her distance. In that moment, Dn looked crestfallen. He knew Noreen''s personality well. The hand hanging at his side clenched and unclenched several times before he finally managed to say in a rtively calm voice, "Next time, then." "I''ll email you the reportter." She was referring to her work report. Dn felt a pang of disappointment. If she sent an email, it meant she wouldn''t being back. They wouldn''t see each other again. Having said what she needed to, Noreen had no intention of lingering and turned to leave. Dn suddenly called out to her. The words he had kept locked in his heart for so many years rolled on his tongue before he finally spoke them. "Crystal and I are getting a divorce." Noreen looked at him calmly, her eyes devoid of any emotion, as if she were listening to something utterly insignificant. "If I..." Noreen nced at her watch. "I''m sorry, I''m in a hurry. We can catch up another time, okay?" She didn''t even wait for his response before turning and walking away quickly. Dn stood there, stunned, for a long while. That sentence, just like the email from so many years ago, was once again left unsaid, a victim of bad timing.
