I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 1370
Paityn hurried to the first floor.Jamie was sitting comfortably on a sofa in the lobby. A cup of fragrant coffee was placed on the small side table beside him. The receptionist was attentively keeping him company, speaking politely to the distinguished Jamie.“Ms. Paityn will be down shortly. Please take a seat. I brought over a couple of business magazines for you.”Jamie was in a very good mood, and he responded graciously, “No need, thank you! My child’s mother will be down any minute.”My child’s mother…The receptionist’s heart was pounding with excitement. She was eager to spread the juicy scoop throughout the entire building and indulge in a bit of gossip.Unfortunately, Paityn arrived quickly, and she overheard his words.Jamie leaned back on the sofa and remarked casually, “The coffee is nice, but the magazines aren’t quite up-to-date.”Paityn walked over and picked up the two magazines. She glanced at them and spoke coolly, “If you bought my company, then you’d be fr

It was hard to blame Paityn. On one hand, Jamie's gaze was gentle. On the other hand, he was undeniably handsome.After some back-and-forth, the three of them ended up having dinner together. They walked into a Maravilla restaurant, and the waiter naturally asked, “Sir, ma’am, are there three of you?”Before Paityn could respond, Jamie calmly said, “Yes, three! Please give us a table by the window, so it’s easier for the child to see that Ferris wheel in the distance.”The waiter recognized Jamie after a moment. He recalled that he had seen Jamie in a business magazine as the president of Lockwood Corporation. The waiter didn't want to be disrespectful. So. he became very attentive and provided them with the best table. He even gave Carol a brand-new Rubik's Cube, which made her extremely happy.Once seated, Carol played with her new toy. She was absorbed in her own world and ignored the adults.Jamie unfolded a snow-white napkin and gently handed the menu to Paityn. He said, “W

Paityn was indeed afraid. She had loved Jamie, and she feared that this kind of interaction might make her unconsciously fall for him again. She was terrified of becoming that kind of woman.Paityn struggled to deny it, insisting that she didn’t feel that way. However, it was clear that Jamie didn’t believe her. He gazed into her eyes and slowly spoke, “Why won’t you admit that you don’t actually like Monty? Marrying him was just a way for you to escape reality and avoid being hurt by me again. "What if I promise not to anger or hurt you anymore, Paityn? What if I treat you like I did tonight? Would you still choose Monty over me and marry him?”Paityn didn't know. She shook her head rapidly, but Jamie wouldn’t give her the chance to escape. He held her hand tightly, and his eyes were filled with an emotion she couldn't quite understand. Paityn thought she must be imagining things. How could Jamie have such a look in his eyes? What she saw more was sadness. They had many year

The airport was bustling with people, and many people glanced in their direction. Paityn found it hard to bear the scrutiny. So, she buried her face in Monty's shoulder and asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”Monty remained silent and held her tightly. He couldn’t bring himself to tell her that he had reconciled with Colette, nor could he tell Paityn that he loved her. Pity and responsibility were the only feelings he had for Colette. Monty couldn’t say anything. This embrace was what he longed for and should be the last one.Finally, when the air felt thin between them, he let her go and feigned a casual tone. “I’m starving after the trip. Shall we go grab something to eat?”Paityn smiled lightly. “Mom knows you're back and has been preparing chicken soup with fresh mushrooms since morning.”Monty paused and considered. “Let’s have dinner just the two of us this time.”Paityn's smile froze on her face. She had an intuition, and deep down, she sensed that something significant

Time seemed to stand still. Paityn quietly gazed at Jamie, watching as the raindrops fell one by one onto the black umbrella he held. Each droplet made a faint, tearing sound against the fabric. It sounded soft yet haunting. The rainwater appeared to drift toward her face, pooling at the corners of her eyes. Why else would her skin feel so cold? Jamie reached out and gently wiped away Paityn's tears. His voice was tender and laced with a compassion that sent shivers through her. “You're abandoned, you poor thing.”For reasons Paityn couldn't comprehend, Jamie's words caused a tremor to ripple through her, igniting a feeling of unease in her chest. She wanted to turn away and escape the intensity of his gaze. However, he cupped her face in his hand, enveloping her entirely. The world around them faded, leaving just the two of them under the dim light of the streetlamps as they were surrounded by the rhythm of falling rain. Paityn had nowhere to run. So, she could only retort

Jamie hardly considered it. “Thank you, Jennifer.”Paityn felt that he was really thick-skinned. He shrugged at her. “Is that a problem? Your mom kindly invited me, didn’t she?”Although Jennifer wasn’t clear about the situation, she could guess that Paityn’s engagement to Monty had fallen through.At the same time, Jamie was being so attentive currently. As a mother, she still hoped Paityn could match with the best suitor. So, Jennifer smiled gently. “Of course.”Afterward, Jennifer shot a glance at Paityn. “He went through a lot to bring you back.”Paityn was always dutiful, so she didn’t say anything more. However, she sat far away from Jamie and didn’t talk to him after entering the restaurant. She just used a napkin to wipe the droplets of water off her body.Jamie stared intently at her as if admiring a piece of art. Paityn spoke in a faint voice, “You look like you’ve never seen a woman before, Jamie.”Unexpectedly, He shamelessly replied, “I haven’t, especially not witho

Inside the dining room, however, there was a sense of warmth and harmony.…Originally, Jamie was expected to leave once dinner was over, both out of courtesy and propriety. After only a few steps, he heard a dripping sound from the ceiling above, and two drops of water landed squarely on his nose.Jamie looked up and saw a damp patch spreading across the white wall. The villa’s roof was leaking.Both Jennifer and Paityn looked up as well. The former muttered in disbelief, “This house has only been built for a few years, and it’s already leaking. What a shoddy job. I wonder which unscrupulous contractor built it. They really should be reported.”Jamie glanced at Paityn and replied softly, “It was built by a subsidiary of the Sanders Group. Jennifer, I can guide you; reach out to the CEO, Lorian Sanders. He’s my uncle's son, and you know him too!”Jennifer froze. Lorian was her son-in-law.Paityn knew Jamie had brought it up on purpose because he was still holding onto things fro

Just as Paityn was lost in thought, Jamie seemed to hear the footsteps behind him. He turned to look at her silently. His dark eyes were like ink that revealed no trace of his true emotions.Paityn's lips moved as she struggled to find her voice. At last, she managed to say, “My mom was worried. So, she asked me to come up and check on you.”The rain continued to fall, but it had lightened to a gentle drizzle. Jamie’s voice was clear as he asked her, “What about you? Are you not worried, Paityn? Are you not even a little afraid of losing me? Are you not worried that you won't see me again?”Paityn shook her head wildly. She wasn’t wearing a raincoat, and the umbrella she had brought was blown away by the wind, leaving the black umbrella lonely in a corner of the rooftop. The past lovers stood quietly, gazing at each other. Suddenly, Jamie extinguished the cigarette with his fingertips and strode towards her.Paityn didn’t have time to think. Before she knew it, the back of her he
