Love Mission: Ex-wife Strikes Back

Jean waited patiently inside the Rose Restaurant.

At the sight of Barton, she waved at him and called, "Over here, Dad!"

Barton walked over and sat in front of her. Jean ordered several dishes for the both of them, and she noticed something felt off. Feign concern, she asked, "Hey, is there something wrong? You look a little pale."

"It's nothing." Barton frowned slightly. "Maybe I just didn't sleep well last night."

"Are you sure?" Jean cocked her eyebrows skeptically. "You should take good care of yourself, Dad. It would deeply sadden me if you fall ill."

"Okay, I'll be careful." If he were to hear this back then, Barton would be elated. But now, he questioned the authenticity of her words.

Zoe seemed to have sensed something. When she raised her head, she met Barton's affectionate eyes. Her heart skipped a beat.

"Uh, Mr. Xiao, it's so late. Why are you still here?" Zoe asked, trying to ease the embarrassment.

"You are here too." Barton dismissed her question. "It's so late. Why are you still here? I hope I'm not exploiting your labor value."

Zoe laughed lightly and said, "I volunteered. Since I'll leave the company soon, I want to finish my work as soon as possible."
