Jason already felt the heat radiating throughout his body, but he hated this kind of sensation. His eyes suddenly turned cold as he slapped Esme's hand then got up and walked out of the bathroom.
“One minute. Get out of here!” Jason coldly issued this command before he turned around and left the bathroom.
Esme got up slowly, propping herself up by holding the edge of the tub. His eyebrows furrowed as he thought, ‘Why is this body so weak?’
In his previous life, he had joined an undercover army on the battlefield for a decade. His martial arts skills were top class. But now, his new body was so weak that he could not balance himself after slipping.
Esme gritted her teeth. He came out of the bathtub, took the bathrobe off the shelf.
Without using any footwear, he got out of there.
By the time he walked out, Jason had already taken off his wet clothes that were stuck to his body changed into a sea-blue sleeping robe. Sitting on the sofa lazily, he waited for Esme to come out.
The sharp eyes of the man swept over Esme's swallow feet. Though he was just in the process of healing, did he not know how to wear sandals? Or, he deliberately got the flu to trouble himself?
Esme walks to bed. He took a small towel to dry his hair and sat down on the end of the mattress.
Looking at Jason, he smiled faintly.
That smile, why does it look so full of charm and authority?
A straight posture sits there with both hands placed over the thighs. The way is graceful and subtle, like Imperial Consort in the royal historical drama on television. [Imperial Consort was an imperial concubine during the Han Dynasty]
The corner of Jason's lips curved with ridicule.
This woman really knows how to pretend.
“In addition to the company part, I can give you anything you want as long as you agree to divorce.”
Esme's heart sank upon hearing this. Even though the purpose of his remark was actually on the owner of the real body, it was still that his heart was bitter when one was so eager to get rid of it. It reminds him of his old life.
“You can give me anything I want?” Esme smiled dazzlingly, looking unperturbed by her words earlier.
“Ya.” Looking at Esme's unaffected mood, made her gaze gloomy.
“I want your heart. Can you give it to me?”
“Esme Andreas!” His eyes burned with anger until he glared.
However, Esme smiled again as if she was just toying with his words. “Sorry, besides Hall Industry section, I don't want anything else.”
“If you want to be part of Hall Industry, then keep dreaming!”
“Next, I can't sign divorce.”
Jason sneered cunningly. “Whether you agree or not, this divorce has been settled. There are many people who know how to ruin your name.”
“You want to forge my signature?”
“I told you already, I have my own method.”
“False signatures are invalid.”
“Apply or not, you have no hand in it. Everything in the city of Ford, I have the final decision.”
Even though he was a businessman, he was quite strong in the country. To summon the wind and rain, cover the sky with his hands. In a sense, if he wanted someone's life, he would definitely get it without a single person daring to intrude.
He was a leader born naturally like an emperor.
Esme reviews the knotty smile. “If you have the final say in everything, why do you still need me? Why do you bother waiting for me? You could have concluded directly that we're divorced.”
“Is that what you want? If you want me to expose the divorce in my own way, then you won't get a penny. Letting you be tormented in choices is the way to make you a little dignified. If you insist on fighting me, then you will be crushed to the brink. But if you choose in my way, it doesn't matter, as long as you're willing to leave everything but the clothes that are attached to your body.”
Suddenly Esme laughed sarcastically. “A husband who was always disgusted at me and wanted to get rid of me immediately suddenly had sympathy for me. I don't know, I don't know if I should be happy, or sad?”
The smile was very disturbing to the eyes. Jason felt his eyes ache if every second saw that.
Jason got up from the sofa, turned to his back. “I'll give you one week to think about it carefully. When you've decided, come and find me.”
After saying his part, Jason's long legs stepped out. But when he reached the door, Jason stopped like he was thinking about something.
Then, he turned to look at Esme with a gloomy look. “Out! This is my room.”
Esme freezes.
It was already out of the ordinary, as the original body owner loved to sleep in Jason's room. When she came back today, she instinctively walked into Jason's bedroom and even used the man's bathroom.
Earlier, when he found out that Esme always wanted to go into her room, Jason locked the door. These days Esme was in the hospital, so she left the room without locking it.
She did not expect that the first day the woman returned, she entered her bedroom.
Esme stood up and walked out of the room, passing Jason quietly. Esme did not even look to spare Jason at all when leaving the man behind.
Jason's eyes stared at Esme's back coldly and deeply. The intensity of the glance seemed to want to see something far from within him.
Jason felt that Esme had changed, to the point that he had found nothing in common with the woman before the accident.
But how could he change? There was no way Esme who was crazy to him would suddenly be indifferent to him.
And now he found something different. The way he walked before the accident and at the moment is not the same. Each of her steps looked graceful and calm, like a dignified woman.
His body emitted a unique and fresh aroma when it passed him earlier. Jason raised his eyebrows in doubt. This soft and fresh fragrance felt new, completely a different spectrum from the one he was used to.
“Shit!”
Jason slammed the door in annoyance. As he found himself paying too much attention, this became very unpleasant.
Didn't he dislike anything related to Esme? Why is his scent now
any fun?
It's definitely something not good. If left like this, then the woman would definitely manage to manipulate him.
Yeah, that one week was too long. He had to get Esme to sign the divorce papers. Five days. He'll beat the woman. Nope, no. Five days is too long.
The day after tomorrow, he did not want to see Esme appear around him anymore. The woman should be removed immediately without excess gain.
