After the divorce, he begged
Chapter 336
“No hurry.” Ryan spoke up gently. “Let’s talk about it after we’ve had dinner
Rebecca responded with a quiet “mm”
Because Jeffrey was there, everyone ate with an unusual sense of ease.
There were no awkward questions, no gossiping, and nobody tried to dig for secrets.

Everyone kept quiet under Jeffrey’s watchful gaze. Even when someone tried to bring something up. Jeffrey would step in and settle it before Rebecca ever had a chance to say a word.
The family dinner ended up feeling just like any normal meal with friends.
For most of dinner, it was pretty much nothing but the Guzman family singing Jeffrey’s praises–felt like one big show of business flattery from start to finish.
Halfway through dinner, Rebecca’s gaze landed on Jeffrey, who exuded a quiet elegance and carried himself with cool detachment. Sensing her eyes on him, he quickly wrapped up his conversation and looked her way, a warmth in his eyes he himself seemed unaware of. “What’s wrong?” he asked softly.
“Nothing.” Rebecca said, turning away.
Leaning in close, Jeffrey spoke in a low voice meant just for her. “If you want to leave, just tell me. I’ll take care
of it.”
For a moment, Rebecca’s eyes grew unfocused, as if her mind had drifted somewhere far away.
He’d always said that to her at every dinner, a familiar promise. Sometimes, he’d whisk her away before she even had the chance to ask.
There was a sudden splash.
Then came a sharp clatter.
Jeffrey’s wine glass toppled over right in front of him.
The wine splashed all over his clothes.
“Sorry about that, Jeffrey!” blurted the person offering the toast.
“Jeffrey, you okay?” someone else jumped in, voice full of worry.
The guy who spilled the drink started to panic, looking uneasy.
Even though this was a Guzman family gathering, everyone at the table knew just how important Jeffrey was in their social scene. With someone accidentally pouring wine on him during the toast, people couldn’t help but worry he’d see it as the Guzmans trying to pick a fight.
