My ex-husband is seeking a second chance

Chapter 62

When Pearl Woolery told Mare Males word for word that she no longer loved him, he felt his heart stop beating for a moment

“So this was what disappointment and sadness felt like,” he thought.

It wasn’t like he hadn’t been dumped before.

Back when Clarissa Santos broke up with him, he was angry. He felt that she did not trust him enough and did not believe that he could protect her.

Because of that, he believed that relationships could not withstand the test of reality and completely closed off his heart.

When Pearl came into his life, it was the darkest years of his life; his health was at its worst and so was his temper. He did not smile or even say a single nice thing to her.

Now that she thought about it, if she did not have feelings for him, there was no way she could stay by his side for so long

“I’m sorry” Mare apologized to her again. “I ruined everything.”

Pearl smiled faintly but her smile did not reach her eyes. “You didn’t do anything wrong, you just don’t have feelings for me.”

Mare was about to speak, T.

“Forget it” Pearl interrupted him.

She did not want his words of pity.

“You don’t have to pity me. I didn’t want to tell you these before because I felt that there was no need to bring up the past since we’re already divorced. I’m telling you now because Lucas Parker has a loose tongue. He told you things he shouldn’t have said. Instead of letting others add fuel to the fire and spout nonsense, I felt that it was better for me to tell you clearly myself. This way, you wouldn’t have to keep worrying and obsessing over finding the answer to that question.”

Marc nodded before responding. Thank you for telling me these.”

“Now that we’ve talked about this, we can put our private matters aside. Let’s talk business now.

Pearl looked at Marc’s stunned expression. It was obvious that he had not recovered from their conversation just now. Perhaps he was still immersed in the shock of hearing that she had feelings for him.

Actually, what was there to be surprised about?

In the past, she was very open about her feelings for him. Other than him, everyone could tell how much she loved him. But now, she had tasted enough of the bitterness of love

For the rest of her life, she only wanted to love herself.

She didn’t want to love anyone anymore.

Her emotions were calm, and her voice was cold as she said, “Mr. Males, I like to separate work and private matters clearly. In the past, I refused to work with you because we had an ambiguous relationship so I thought that it would be awkward. Now that we’ve made things clear, there’s no need for us to avoid each other anymore so I sincerely invite you to join the project and become my partner.”

She extended her hand to him. She was polite and sincere, neither servile nor overbearing, as though she was just facing an ordinary business

partner.

Silence ensued for a good ten seconds.

Marc’s eyes were deep as he stared at her quietly for a long time. Then, he slowly reached out and shook her hand. Their hands, which were covered in calluses, overlapped like two unyielding souls intertwining

“irs good to work with you.”

They agreed to discuss the details of their partnership in the afternoon at Woolery Group. After that, Pearl got out of the car.

Marc watched Pearl’s diminishing silhouette as she left. He wanted to stop her and apologize to her again, but he swallowed his words. Perhaps what she needed was never his apology.

Pearl returned to the Rose Garden. Lindsay Woolery, who had been waiting fo

“Pearl, why were you gone for so long! Are you alright?”

for a long time, immediately came forward to welcome her.

She sized up Pearl from head to toe. After confirming that she was not injured, she felt relieved.

Pearl reassured calmly, I’m fine. Get in the car.”

Her tone was calm as if nothing had happened. However, her red eyes still made Lindsay feel that something had happened.

Lindsay looked out and saw a black car slowly driving away. Who exactly was in the cart

How could he make Pearl so sadr

When Pearl arrived at the company, she immediately brought Lindsay up with her.

t of the tall buikling, the clean halls, and the orderly staff.

This was the first time Lindsay had come to the company. Lindsay’s heart raced at the sight of

Wherever Pearl went, everyone bowed and greeted her. Pearl nudded slightly in response but looked straight ahead. Lindsay followed behind her sister. Her face was full of pride and admiration, like a little fangirl.

After entering the office, Pearl called out to Lindsay, “Make yourself at home. What would you like to drink?”

Lindsay quickly replied, “I’m fine with anything. I just have some water.”

The administrative assistant had already boiled some water for them. She entered the office, poured a cup of warm water for Lindsay, and prepared a cup of coffee for Pearl

After that, Mason Turner walked in. He was slightly surprised when he laid his eyes on Lindsay. “Eh! You look very familiar, I think I’ve seen you

before.”

Lindsay stood up and looked at Pearl nervously.

Pearl turned on her computer and took a sip of coffee. She rolled her eyes at Mason’s words before introducing them. This is my chief assistant, Mason Turner, and this is my younger sister, Lindsay.”

“Nice to meet you. Miss Woolery,”

Mason walked over with a smile. “You’re from Stremum University, right? I went back there once during the school’s 30th anniversary. If my memory didn’t fail me, at that time, you even went onstage to speak as a freshman representative.”

Lindsay nodded shyly and her pretty face instantly turned red. Of course she knew who Mason Turner was.

was a well–known alumnus of Sirenum University and he entered the university four years before she did

He w

He graduated the year she enrolled in the university so she did not get the chance to meet him. However, although he was no longer on campus, legends about him were everywhere at Sirenum University.

Some people were born to shine like the stars in the sky while others could only watch and look up to them from afar

Unexpectedly, this star had now appeared in front of her suddenly.

“Nice, nice to meet you, Mr. Turner.”

Mason smiled brightly. “You don’t have to be so polite. You can just call me “Mason.”

“Mason…” Lindsay’s face reddened even more.

Pearl listened to the conversation between the two of them before commenting, “Oh, I almost forgot that you also studied at Sirenum University for your bachelor’s degree before going overseas for your master’s degree.”

“That’s right.”

Mason placed a thick stack of documents on the desk and sighed. “No matter what, I was still a top student after all. Many famous professors wanted me to stay for research so how did I end up like this?”

Pearl looked up slightly before retorting, “Why? Do you feel like following me is a waste of your talents! You can leave now too. No one is stopping “you”

Mason grinned. “Don’t say that. I’m just an ordinary person. To me, earning money is my utmost priority since I have to earn enough money to ford my elderly mother and young child.”

“That’s enough, stop acting pitiful here”

Pearl then instructed him. There are two things I need you to do. First, arrange an internship position for Lindsay as a design assistant at Woolery Jewelry. Second, draft a contract for the racecourse project and sign the contract with the Males Group in the afternoon.”

When he heard the first thing. Mason even turned around and winked at Lindsay: When he heard the second thing, the expression on his face instantly froze. He suddenly turned around and looked at Pearl.

“What? The Males Group?” This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Mason was full of shock as he questioned, “Have you made up with Mr. Males?”
