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

After I finished giving instructions, I sat back down and said gratefully, “Thanks for the advice. I really hadn’t thought about fighting back like that.”

Edward’s eyes sparkled with a teasing glint. “Looks like you’ve still got a lot to learn–stuff you’ll never pick up from books or teachers. Want me to show you the ropes?”

I paused for a moment. Edward had managed to keep the Jennings family’s status and reputation in the business world, so he must be pretty shrewd and ruthless. If he could teach me how to hold my own in the business world, that would definitely be a huge advantage for me.

“Do I have to pay tuition?” I asked, curious.

Edward raised an eyebrow. “Since you’re so eager to learn, I’ll teach you for free.”

I shook my head. “No way. If I’m going to call you my teacher, there has to be a proper apprenticeship gift.”

Edward looked a bit put out. “Don’t put me on a pedestal. Last time we had dinner with your parents, you made me out to be some family elder. Do you have any idea how awkward that was for me?”

He totally saw through my little ploy.

“That was all Ryan’s doing. How was I supposed to know you’d show up?” I put on my most innocent face.

Edward suddenly tensed, locking eyes with me. “Did Ryan set that up on purpose, or was it just a coincidence?”

I was taken aback, staring at him blankly. “What do mean?”
