The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 1193:

The Foster family was now heavily engaged in construction ventures. With the partnership with Cliff, Juliet felt emboldened to pursue larger endeavors, sharing the profits with the Hopkins family.

This was where Juliet truly excelled. Her dedication shone like a guiding light, offering generous support to Cliff.

In her, Cliff recognized a promising future for both their families, and he finally grasped why his parents held her in such high regard. Beauty was plentiful, yet talent was a gem.noveldrama

Juliet caught Cliff’s lingering look and stopped to return his gaze. Without diverting his eyes, Cliff earnestly said, “Miss Foster, you possess a certain allure when you’re focused on your work.”

Juliet was amused, flattered by the handsome man’s compliment. “Do I lose my charm when I’m not at work?”

Cliff responded, “I haven’t noticed.”

His candid nature was something Juliet appreciated.

They continued working until dusk, addressing most of the pending matters.

Afterward, Cliff freshened up and browsed through his messages, noticing many from Laney had gone unchecked. He dialed her number. Laney’s voice sounded raspy, likely from just waking up. “Cliff,” she said, her tone carrying a slight complaint.

“Are you still waiting for me at the office?” Cliff asked.

“Yes,” she answered. “Will you still come?”

“I’ve just wrapped up here. I’ll be there to get you in about thirty minutes,” Cliff assured her, glancing at his watch.

As Cliff spoke, he saw Juliet waiting by the car. The night had fallen, and he needed to drop her off first.

“Never mind, I’ll arrange for Gerry to pick you up,” Cliff said into the phone after a moment. “He can have dinner with you.”

Laney sounded let down. “Cliff, I’ve been waiting so long for you.”

“I’m tied up right now.”

Laney seldom made demands on Cliff. She enjoyed his company but understood when to step back. “Alright,” she responded quietly.

Cliff exhaled deeply, ended the call, and approached Juliet.

Juliet easily guessed the person on the other end from his look and said with empathy, “I’ll get someone from my family to come get me. You can go.”

Cliff was firm. “That won’t be necessary.”

“You mentioned our future alliance is strictly for business. You don’t need to go out of your way.”

“I’d rather avoid any complications,” Cliff explained. “You’ve been with me all day. If something were to happen, it would be my responsibility.”
