From His Ex-Wife to the World's Most Sought-After Restorer (Jade and Hudson) novel Chapter 160

Chapter 160 The Gilded Invitation

“Disappointed? In what?”

She looked down at the ground, her gaze emp

“I’ve told you before, it’s not what you think between us. Whatever he thinks of me now doesn’t change the fact that he helped me when needed it. I’ll pay him back when the time comes. That’s just basic human decency.”

She looked back up, her eyes filled with mockery for Hudson.

“Besides, didn’t you teach me long ago not to put too much hope in anyone? The higher the expectation, the harder the fall. Since I have no expectations, how could I be disappointed?”

Hudson stared at her.

The love that used to overflow from her eyes had been replaced by a void, seasoned with a hint of loathing.

His heart twinged with pain. His fingers twitched uncontrollably at his side.

After a moment, he looked away.

“Go to your studio if you want. Just remember to come home early. I’ll finish work early too so we can have dinner together.”

The word “home” used to be Jade’s ultimate sanctuary.

Now, she didn’t even want to hear the word.

Ironically, Hudson, who used to treat their house like a temporary hotel, now couldn’t stop talking about it.

How pathetic.

Jade lowered her lashes, hiding the deepening nockery in her eyes.

“Fine.”

Hudson watched Jade enter the studio, then got to his car and dialed Charles Green’s number.

“I remember you outbid everyone for a high-clarity pink diamond at an auction a few days ago?”

Charles wasn’t fully awake yet, his voice sounding lazy. “Yeah. Flawless.”

Hudson demanded, “Bring it to me at noon.”

“Huh?”

Charles sounded confused.

“What do you want it for?”

Hudson said, “Mind your own business.”

Beep. He hung up. His eyes remained fixed on the entrance of the studio.

Jade had thrown away their wedding ring in a fit of anger.

Now that she was pregnant and back home, it was time he gave her a proper replacement.

Afternoon.
