Chapter 14
The phone didn't hang up, and after a while, Samuel said again, "Do you want some chocolates?"
Meghan was confused for a while. "Huh?"
Samuel repeated with a hint of impatience, "I'm going to Belgium on a business trip and asked if you want some chocolates."
Meghan suddenly remembered that when Samuel went to Belgium last time, the partner there gave him a few boxes of local specialty chocolates, and he threw them on the coffee table when he got back.
He didn't like sweets and snacks
But Meghan liked to eat.
Samuel thought deeply about throwing it away, but he figured that throwing it in her mouth was better than throwing it in the trash can.
After a while, Meghan said, "Oh, no, thank you."
Samuel scoffed coldly and hung up the phone.
Meghan was about to go to bed, and within a few seconds, the phone rang.
Samuel asked deeply, "Where's the hangover medicine?"
"Go into the kitchen, it's on the third cabinet from the left, but that's a hangover soup, if you can't..."
On the other end of the phone, Samuel took a deep breath and seemed to be waiting for words behind her.
Meghan continued. "Just call the servant up."
The next second, Samuel hung up.
Meghan curled her lips, put down her phone and fell back on the bed.
No wonder Samuel was so gentle today, it turned out that he was drunk.
As a person, every time he drank alcohol, his temper became much better, and he was particularly easy to talk to.
Sometimes when Meghan was scolded and aggrieved by him, she wanted to fill him with a few bottles of wine before he walked in.
Of course, she always imagined doing it but never had the guts to do so.
...
Samuel didn't wake up the servant. He just massaged his throbbing temples, and after drinking a glass of cold water, he went upstairs.
He entered the bedroom, and just when he was about to take his clothes to the bathroom, he saw the rows of women's clothing that had been left untouched for a long time.
It's been a month since Meghan has moved out.
Earlier this afternoon, he asked Nash a question at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau, "A woman has to get a divorce. In addition to gaining benefits, what could be the other reasons?"
He was indeed annoyed during this period of time. Meghan said that she didn't want any money and just wanted divorce, but this kind of reasoning was obviously nonsense.
But Meghan's attitude was so decisive. She didn't even take the opportunity to blackmail him which was really puzzling.
Nash was silent for a long time before tentatively saying, "Mr. Zhou, maybe your wife just wants attention?"
"Wants attention?"
"Yes, sometimes girls don't speak out directly when they are sulking. They try to attract men's attention through other things. Isn't the reason why your wife filed for a divorce is because she was waiting for you to coax her?"
Samuel sneered immediately. "That's ridiculous."
Nash said, "Mr. Zhou, I don't think your wife is the kind of person who always thinks about money. When her father was making trouble outside today, your wife said that it is your money and has nothing to do with her. Not only that, she even got a slap in the face."
Samuel frowned. "She was slapped?"
"Yes, and the impact was quite heavy. You could even see the slap marks."
After a few seconds, Samuel said, "Check how much money the man owes, and tell him to make sure not to show up in front of me again."
When the clock was pointing to 3:10 p.m., Samuel said, "Let's go back."
In the bedroom...
Samuel looked at the blue and white striped shirt hanging in the most conspicuous place. He thought irritably that if Meghan was still so ignorant when he came back from Belgium this time, he would take this shirt and throw it out with her.
...
The press conference of Shengguang Jewelry arrived in the blink of an eye, and Meghan was adjusting the length of the necklace to the model in the background.
Luke came in and said, "Ms. Ruan, there are many well-known designers and business celebrities coming out today. Your design will definitely shine on the stage, and more people will recognize you then."
Meghan smiled. "These are all Shengguang's designs, I'm just an additive at best."
She was telling the truth. Without the gorgeous coat of Shengguang Jewelry, who would come to see the work of a little designer who has nothing?
Sara also ran in at this time and heard the words, "Meghan, don't be so modest. This is our mutual glory, right, Editor Lin?"
Luke smiled and nodded. "Yes, we complement each other well."
After Luke left, Sara pulled Meghan over and whispered. "Meghan, let me tell you one thing, you must stay steady."
"What?"
"I saw Henry just now."
With a bang, the hairpin that Meghan was planning to bring to the model fell to the ground.
Sara quickly picked it up. "In fact, Henry has been looking for you. In order to attract people's attention this time, Shengguang used a gimmick of 'losing this talented artist who won the contest three years ago, and came back with a strong work three years later,' so it wasn't difficult for him to find you here."
It took a long time for Meghan to snap out of her thoughts. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
Sara patted her shoulder to comfort her. "It's okay, don't think too much and just let it be. Anyway, you are divorced now. Who says you cannot start a new life?"
"No. I was just thinking about the interview with the 'First Love' series."
