Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Chapter 506

Chapter 501

Jade studied him for a long moment before finally voicing the question that

lingered in her mind. "And if, one day, you two are truly married, but Mila no longer loves you-what then?"

Forrest didn't answer right away. Only after a lengthy pause did he finally say, "I suppose I would wish her happiness."

His tone was calm, almost detached.

Jade's gaze lingered on his unflinching face. She never let her thoughts show- whether approval or dissatisfaction. Instead, she simply lifted her hand, a silent gesture for him to leave.

Forrest rose without protest.

"You'll have to ask Mila."

That was all Jade offered.

Forrest smiled, undeterred. "Thank you, Mrs. Sutherland."

He opened the door, nodded politely to the old butler waiting outside, and made his way toward the guest room.

Jade glanced up at the butler as he entered, her voice quiet but direct. "What do you think-how much of his answer was sincere, and how much an act?"

Though the butler's face was youthful, his bearing was steady and mature. Closing the door behind him, he replied respectfully, "A bit of both, I suspect. He's a man who knows how to keep his cards close."

"So, he can't be trusted?" Jade pressed.
