Vana.”
He put the milk aside, hugged her slim waist from behind, and gently rubbed his chin on her shoulder in
an intimate way.
I was wrong
The things you don’t like, I’ll change them from now on, okay?”
Jovana had a blank face, gave a slight struggle, really resisted his presence, and felt too tired to deal with
him.
My heart felt so tired.
Armando noticed her resistance and hugged her tighter, “As for Juliette, if you don’t like her, I’ll end her contract with her agency tomorrow, okay?”
Jovana paused, thinking she’d misheard…
Didn’t Armando really treasure Juliette?
How could I bear to fire her?
Armando knew people well and obviously noticed her mood change.
“Vana, could you forgive me?”
He gave a gentle kiss on the soft skin of her neck, tender as water.
Jovana snapped back, her face suddenly turning pale. She pulled away like she’d been shocked, “I’m a bit tired, I want to sleep. You should rest early too.”
The implication was obvious: she didn’t want to share a bed with him.
“Vana.” Armando’s eyes were deep, a bit restless.
Jovana was insistent, “I’m tired.”
Armando stared at her for a few seconds, gave in, and let go of her waist. It was true that he was the one at fault today.
“Okay. You rest early.”
He picked her up in his arms and gently laid her on the bed, then kindly took off her shoes, tucked her in, gave her the warm milk, bent down and kissed her forehead, turned off the light, and finally left the room quietly.
The moment the door closed, Jovana’s faint smile disappeared. She lifted the covers, got out of bed, and took another shower, scrubbing hard at the places Armando had touched.
She leaned weakly against the cold wall, covering her eyes and crying…
The scent she used to rely on felt like torture to her now.
A moment later, she wandered back to the bedroom, looking lost.
In the dim room, the phone’s flashing light on the nightstand was especially glaring.

Meru
Since she was close, Jovana saw that line of words floating on the screen at a glance, and her already pale.
face looked even more bloodless.
“Jovana, the man you loved for so many years didn’t even give you the most basic trust. That must’ve hurt, right? In front of so many people, your closest one embarrassed you. That must’ve felt really awful, huh?”
“Nine years together couldn’t beat my ninety days!”
Jovana’s eyes were shining with tears, and she couldn’t catch her breath because of the tightness in her
chest.
Yeah, she loved for so many years, and in the end, it was like a joke!
Juliette seemed to guess how much pain Jovana was in on the other side of the screen, and finally felt a lot better.
Armando got the cold shoulder after trying to be friendly, and with what happened today, he felt pretty upset, so he grabbed a bottle of booze and had a few drinks.
Suddenly, the phone on the coffee table suddenly rang.
Saw the note.
He frowned and hung up the phone.
However, the other side kept bombarding nonstop.
Armando was getting impatient. He glanced at the bedroom upstairs, and finally answered the phone.
There was suddenly a sound of wronged crying over there, “Mando, why did you end my contract? I really didn’t lie to you about today, Harland really stayed with Jovana, he was definitely in that bedroom, you gotta believe me…”
Hearing that word, a shadowy cold light flashed in Armando’s eyes.
So much happened today, and Harland really made him feel uncomfortable.
He believed Jovana, but he didn’t believe Harland.
He spoke in a cold, hard tone, “Alright, don’t bring this up again. There’s no room to negotiate about ending the contract. Tomorrow, I’ll have Normand give you some more money. Before we got together, I told you my bottom line. Let’s part on good terms.”
“As for your agency, I would take care of it. You wouldn’t be affected.”
Juliette’s hand holding the phone slowly lost its strength, like she was out of it.
She cried and said, “Mando, I won’t dare to do it again. Please don’t leave me, okay…”
This time, Armando didn’t comfort her like before and just hung up the phone indifferently.
The cold mechanical voice came into my ears.
Juliette felt hopeless.
Was this really the only way?

No, she wasn’t willing!
The next morning.
Jovana didn’t go with Armando. After she finished packing up, she drove to the office by herself.
