After being reborn, I make up my mind to stop chasing after my husband and daughter

Jared’s expression changed in an instant. The gentle demeanor vanished. Even his eyes turned cold and gloomy.

Nathan and I walked up to him, and Nathan greeted him politely, “Mr. Holcomb, I just came to see Victoria off. I hope you don’t mind.”

He definitely hadn’t expected me to get involved with Nathan so soon after the divorce, and now here we were, acting all affectionate and close.

How thrilling and surprising!

I smiled at Jared. “Nathan dropped by to see me off. Don’t worry. It won’t affect our plans.”

Then I turned to Nathan and teased, “Weren’t you going to bring me coffee?”

Nathan responded right away, “Just a sec, I’ll grab it for you.”

“Okay!” I shot him a nod. He headed to his car, coming back with a to–go cup of coffee in

hand.

Jared took a deep breath. He was about to lose his temper. But somehow, he held back. Maybe he couldn’t find a reason to do so.

His face was dark and stormy, his voice cold. “Victoria, is this some kind of joke?”

“You get another man to provoke me. Is this your idea of revenge after the divorce? It’s childish and ridiculous,” Jared snapped through gritted teeth.

I kept my tone calm. “You’re overthinking. I’m planning to invest in his company, so we’re
