If he didn’t see the shoes at the entrance hall was Ruby’s, Ethan would have thought that he pressed wrong doorbell.

"Ethan." Daniel reached his hand, and showed a friendly smile, "I met you at the Yue hotel before."

I'm Daniel, is also Ruby's Daniel.Hearing that, Ethan suddenly remembered what happened previously.

He took his customers to the Yue hotel for dinner but met Daniel and Ruby.

They seemed to talk and laugh rather close, not as brother and sister.

Ethan felt a little uncomfortable, but out of politeness, he shook hands with Daniel, "I’m Ethan."

When he saw the little girl playing with a tablet on the sofa, Ethan subconsciously looked towards Daniel, thinking"she was probably his daughter.

Mrs. Lord and Ruby were busy in the kitchen. Ethan walked over and asked Ruby, “May I help you?”

"No, you're the guest just Sit in the living room."

Ruby ignored him, Ethan frowned.He felt that they’re not just for a meal.

Soon, a sumptuous table of dishes was prepared, and everyone sat in front of the table and begin to eat.Mrs. Lord talked with Daniel.

Ethan knew that Daniel has been a student of Lord and he was divorced.

Mrs. Lord seemed to like Daniel a lot, she often scoops food into Daniel's bowl and even not look at Ethan.

The atmosphere at the table wasn’t good, not as silent as before.

Ruby did not move until she finished eating.

She placed the divorce settlement in front of him, said calmly.

"Ethan, I hope you can sign your name on it."

"Didn't you say that you’ll think it?"

Ethan knew that the dinner party was not simple, he just did not expect it to be like this,

"Tell me, why did you left the ring in my office?"

When he rushed into his office at that time, Ruby had already left for a long time.

Sherry pointed to the ring on the table and said perplexedly.

"Ethan, I said that I'll go around with her before you return, Miss Ruby seems not good."

She took off the ring and left, and ask me to give it to you.

He had only been on a business trip for a week and had done nothing.

How could she have taken off her ring so decisively?

"What happened?"

"You bought that ring. It's useless for me after we get divorced."

Ruby didn't want to expose him, because it would only make everyone more embarrassed

"I hope that you will sign it for the sake of the three—year marriage"

Ethan's throat was burning hot and he refused to give up.

Why?He thought that after the fourth year, both of them would peacefully get divorced.

Ruby's movements made him unprepared, only to felt extremely unwilling.

He couldn't say why he was unwilling to accept this.

"Because I like someone else."

Ruby glanced at Daniel, and with a gaze that was tender as water, she said, "The person I like is willing to sacrifice himself for me, and sincerely wants to marry me without premarital contract."

Seeing what she did, he understood everything.

Thinking about he had asked someone to help Lord, but the result was she had pay back all the money and Lord received his punishment.

Ethan’s face darkened slightly.

"So, you also borrowed two million from him?"

Seeing Ruby not saying a word, Ethan laughed out of anger.

"Ruby, even though I don't say anything, it doesn't mean I didn't do it. I just wanted you to tell me, but you borrowed money from an outsider?"

Daniel blocked in front of Ruby in time, afraid that he would take extreme measures in his anger.

"Mr. Ethan, Ruby's have already said everything. I hope that you can respect her and part as friends.”

Ethan stared at Ruby who is behind Daniel with his deep and fierce eyes.

The divorce settlement was crushed into a ball in his hands, then unwillingly spread out and laid out on the tea table bit by bit.
