Jack ignored her.
He was focused on discussing with me about the store layout problem for a direct-sales brand he was working on.
Emma deliberately made a noise at the dinner table to get our attention. When we looked at her, she smiled and said,
“Oh my, you’re talking about something I’m good at. I got a bit excited.”
She turned to Jack, who looked confused, and said, “My ex-husband has a direct-sales brand that’s doing quite well. He has many channels
that he could share with me. For Lily’s sake, I could help you out.”
Then she went on to introduce the brand in detail. I could see that Jack was very tempted.
He looked at me hesitantly, then at Emma, and asked,
“If it’s your ex-husband’s, wouldn’t it be inconvenient?”
“What’s inconvenient about it? A little pillow talk and everything’s solved, right? Just wait for my message.”
This time, Jack didn’t refuse. I knew his ‘Do Not Disturb’ setting for her would soon be turned off.
Sure enough, after entering the room, he said to me, “Your cousin Emma is very generous and straightforward.”
I just looked up at him once, my eyes half red.
He immediately came over to comfort me, “I was just saying. How could I be interested in a woman who’s still entangled with her
ex-husband?”
