Chapter 45

Chris smiled and shook his head, snatching the thermos back from Roy’s hand and tossing it to Jessica.

“If you want to take care of her, go ahead. I won’t disturb you.”

He pulled Roy back into the private room and closed the door.

Meanwhile, with Roy’s help, Jessica was in a good mood.

She hadn’t brought Michael to the drinking party, it was better that the head of the Fame Group didn’t see Michael.

Before things were settled, all the Hall family members could only put on a polite front.

Besides the private rooms, there were some scattered tables on the first–floor, usually serving a few walk–in customers at noon, but only up to ten tables.

At that moment, all were empty.

The two found a place to sit, and Michael asked the manager for a bowl.

He seemed completely unfazed by the earlier sarcasm, smiling with red–rimmed eyes as he helped Jessica serve the soup.

“What’s the matter with you?”

After closing the door, Roy forcefully pushed Chris into a chair, his voice turning cold

“Didn’t you say you divorced? Who’s that man? Looks like a homewrecker to me.”

Chris couldn’t help but laugh and poured Roy a cup of tea.

“You seem to know quite a lot.”

Roy wouldn’t let Chris change the subject.

“Hurry up and tell me. Don’t make me find out myself.”

He knew Roy’s skills—if he wanted to look into something, it wouldn’t take an hour.

“Alright, alright. He’s Jessica’s first love. Back then, it was because he went abroad that Jessica, heartbroken, married me. We
