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

Chapter 331

Jared was agitated by my words, choking for a while before finally saying, “Aren’t you with Nathan now? Why are you still messing around with Ryan?”

I was honestly surprised. Jared had come to terms with me being with Nathan.

To piss him off, I said on purpose, “Well, I learned this from you. You want someone young, full of energy, and sensible. Plus, keeping as many hot guys around as I can is only good for me.”

“Victoria…” Jared’s face darkened with irritation. “Aren’t you worried you’ll bite off more than you can chew?”

I shrugged and smirked. “Well, you are spot on.”

“You’re hopeless,” he muttered, clearly annoyed. However, he must’ve realized I was teasing him because he calmed down quickly. He added quickly, “Honestly, you should keep your distance from Ryan. Getting tangled up with him won’t do you any good.”

I was focused on my computer, but I snapped my head up when I heard that.

Jared gave me a long, serious look and said, “As your ex–husband, I’m just looking out for you. Some people are better left alone.”

“So, you know about Ryan’s past?” I asked, my curiosity piqued.

Jared said with a hint of sarcasm, “Wasn’t he the one who landed those government contracts?”

I grinned and said, “Yep, he’s the one who got that done for me.”
