Chapter 65
After leaving the study, I quickly took a shower and then went downstairs to have a meal.
Frederic was already sitting at the dining table, silently eating his meal, completely ignoring my presence. I still wasn’t accustomed to having meals alone with him. The atmosphere was heavy and silent. I had nothing to say.
At that moment, his phone rang. I glanced at it and was speechless.
How does Emilia always manage to call when Frederic and I are together? If I hadn’t been reborn once. I would seriously suspect that she had installed surveillance around Frederic.
Emilia was very excitedly saying something on her phone. I could only hear her voice, but couldn’t make out the content.
Frederic pinched his brow, looking sinister. “I’ve told you that if you need money, you can come to me. How much do you want? Speak.”
This sentence made me feel a bit dazed, as if I had returned to a previous life. Frederic asked me, “How much do you want in order to agree to a divorce? Speak up!”
Similar words have completely different meanings.
What did Emilia say again, and then she hung up the phone.
Frederic threw his phone aside, clearly losing his appetite for food. Kira was wiping tables nearby. I didn’t know if she had noticed this
side.

“What did you do?” I asked curiously
“Eat.” Frederic glanced at me and said irritably.
“Did you mess up her work?” I wasn’t scared at all and made a guess. “So she called to blame you and accuse you, right?”
This was Frederic’s way of doing things. Just a college girl. He didn’t care about respect or disrespect. If he had to respect her, that would be a later matter. He would only genuinely consider her once he truly fell in love with her.
Currently, he still only regarded Emilia as an unattainable rarity.
Frederic frowned. “Do you want me to praise you for knowing me too well?”
That’s not necessary. I said. “No, I just think your approach won’t work. I heard she is a top student at Aroma University. Her background may not be as good as yours, but in some ways, she is more outstanding than many ordinary people. Such a girl has strong self–esteem and won’t attach herself to you just for money. You can consider changing your way of pursuing her.”
“You seem to be eager for me to pursue her,” Frederic squinted his
eyes.
“Didn’t I mention divorce to you before? I was serious,” I said, looking directly into Frederic’s eyes, unfazed.
“Still 3%?” Frederic smiled.
“No, 5%.” I extended five fingers, with a radiant smile. “How about it? Deal?”
Frederic stared at me, and although his smile did not fade, I could sense his mockery. He averted his gaze, took a few more bites of his
meal, and then got up and left.
I couldn’t help muttering. Did he agree or not in the end?
After Frederic left, Janessa called. “Syl, get everything ready today. We’ll meet at the airport tomorrow. I’ve already bought the plane tickets for you guys.”
“What time is it?” I asked.
“I already sent it to you on Line. Take a look,” Janessa replied.
After hanging up the phone, I opened Line to check. I had to board early in the morning.
It’s good to take a break. After finishing my meal, I went upstairs and fidied up a bit. I have to sleep early tonight. I have to wake up early
tomorrow.
I didn’t tell Frederic and my parents about my plan to go to Swartcorf with Janessa. The next day, I went straight to the airport and met up with Janessa and the others.
“After arriving there, please grant me a passionate encounter!” Cecelia prayed as she lay on the comfortable and spacious seat after boarding.
