My ex-husband is seeking a second chance

Chapter 64

Pearl Woolery had surprised Marc Males a lot after their divorce, but what had surprised him the most was the way she was working now.

It was not that Mare had never interacted with female CEOs before, but most of them gave him the impression that they were either too emotional or too rational. None of them were as straightforward as Peart

Moreover, she knew everything he wanted to do now and pointed out his motives right away.

If what he heard before were rumors, wi

what he saw now was the truth

He had always underestimated his wife.

Marc had mixed feelings. He took the contract from her and flipped to the last page. He raised his pen and was prepared to si

Pearl drank her coffee as she reminded him softly. There’s no hurry to sign it. Mr. Males, you can take a closer look at the details of the contract first. It won’t be too late to sign it after confirming that there’s no problem.”

“There’s no need for that. I believe that you will not trick me.” Marc signed his name and took out a rose seal. He smeared it with ink and stamped his name

“What was he doing? Was he playing the emotional card?” She thought

“That doesn’t seem like what he does.”

Since he took it our Pearl naturally wouldn’t pretend not to see it.

Do you

like this seal a lot, Mr. Males?”

Marc looked up. The white jade had a cold texture, just like the pair of eyes she was looking at him with now. They were clear and cold like the spring water in a mountain stream. He could not help but tighten his grip on the seal

He pursed his thin lips and admitted frankly. “I do like it very much.

“Be it the jade material or the carving technique, everything is top–notch. Which master did you hire to carve this??

Mare said, “If possible, I would also like to ask them to carve something for me”

“I don’t think she’s free these days”

Pearl rejected his request calmly. She picked up her cup and took a sip of coffee. She then instructed Mason Turner to take the contract as soon as possible and go through the process. Then, she turned to Marc and said, “When Lucas Parker has confirmed his side, the racecourse project can officially begin.“‘

Marc nodded lightly. He was still puzzled by Pearl’s rejection just now. She rejected him so readily. It’s not like she was the master who carved the scal, right? Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

The moment this thought appeared in his mind, Marc smiled bitterly to himself.

How had he become so suspicious of everything‘

An expert hacker and a top–notch chef were enough to surprise him. It would be crazy if she also knew how to sculpt jade.

Pearl stood up. “I believe that you have a lot of work to do so if there’s nothing else, I won’t keep you any longer.

She was a

Mare also stood up and looked at her deeply, “Ms, Woolery, why don Lwe have a drink together if you have time!

“Some other time,” Pearl answered with a polite smile. “As you can see, I’m quite busy.”

-Marc did not seem to understand what she meant. “It’s okay. I can wait for you”

Pearl was speechless.

“Had this man’s brain hern short–circuited by the four small enameled bowls because he had not been rejected for too long?” She thought. “Tu really not fier today. I have an appointment tonight” Pearl once again rejected him awkwardly but politely.

“Okay, I’ll be right there.”

Pearl was so glad that Hubert called at such a great time and saved her from having to spend time with Marc. “Tm s appointment today. I’ll treat you to a meal another day when you’re free”

Mane was not embarrassed by being rejected again. He only asked her seriously, “Sure. When should we meet then!”

He really wanted to get to the bottom of the matter and would not stop until he achieved his goal.

Pearl’s heart was burning with anger. She forced herself to suppress it and said with a fake smile, “We can meet when you’re willing to give me the enameled bowls.”

In any case, he would not bear to give it to her.

Mare’s eyes darkened as if he was seriously thinking about it. Then, he said, “Alright, tomorrow it is.”

Pearl was at a loss for words once again.

I pick you up at six tomorrow night. I won’t disturb you anymore. Goodbye.

Marc nodded and left with Thomas and the others behind him.

Pearl stared at his receding figure in a daze. He asked Mason, “Did he say something wrong or did I hear wrongly? What is he t

Mason said, “You said that if Mr. Males is willing to give you the small enameled bowls, you can treat him to a meal. He said that it was fine and that he would pick you up at six tomorrow night. To summarize, you will treat Mr. Males to a meal at six tomorrow night and he will bring the small enameled bowls over and give them to you

There was nothing wrong with what Mason had said.

Pearl frowned. “Who promised him?”

Mason blinked innocently as he thought, “It wasn’t me, anyway!

At the thought of having dinner with Marc tomorrow night, Pearl was in a terrible mood. She didn’t even have the appetite to eat the sea urchins. Pearl picked up Lindsay and went to the restaurant that Hubert Law had booked.

Hubert started treating Lindsay as one of their own after he knew that she had changed for the better. He warmly greeted her and glanced at the dispirited Pearl “What’s wrong‘ Haven’t you been craving this for a long time? This sea urchin is fresh. Try it

Pearl grunted and started eating.

Lindsay looked worriedly at her gloomy sister. She did not dare to say or ask. She looked at Mason in confusion and mouthed silently, “What’s wrong with Pearl

Mason shook his head at her, indicating that Pearl was

He pushed the sushi in front of Lindsay. “If you’re not used to salmon, eat this. It’s filling

Lindsay nodded obediently and smiled gratefully at him.

On the long street opposite the restaurant, Marc silently stared at Pearl, who was sitting by the glass window and eating with her head lowered. Sitting opposite her was a handsome man in white clothes. It was none other than the seventh son of the Law family, Hubert Law.

Hubert was quite something as well. He was also a cold and aristocratic young master to the outside world, but for some reason, he was exceptionally attentive in front of Pearl.

Not only did he serve her food, but he even wiped her mouth. Wasn’t that a little too much?

Marc’s deep eyes looked especially cold under the night sky. When he thought about how Pearl rejected him so many times just to go out with another man, he felt inexplicably unhappy.

Thomas sat in the front passenger seat and hung up. He then reported to Marc, “Mr. Males, I got someone to bring the small bowls back from the museum. It will be sent to Nanston tomorrow.”

Mare grunted faintly.

Thomas thought about it and could not help but say. “Have you thought about it! You like those four small b them

11:26 AM

Marc was a collector. Thomas had been with him for so long, but he had never seen Marc take the initiative to give anything. This was the first time and even the museum curator found it so unbelievable that he asked three times, “Are you sure Mr. Males said that himself? Who exactly is he giving it to?”

Thomas was certain and affirmative. He told the curator that Marc was going to give it to his ex–wife. Only then did the old curator relax his eyebrows and say meaningfully, “Then this is an omen of resurrection.”

Can you say something else?” The corner of Thomas’s mouth twitched.

Marc did not show any reluctance on his face. He looked at Pearl’s side profile behind the glass window and said, “What’s mine is hers. There’s nothing to be reluctant about.”
