Beyond the Divorce

Chapter 1306 Perfection Might Not Be a Good Thing



"You're just a heartless capitalist. You're afraid I'll take too much time off. You just want to keep pushing me to work for you, right?" Ryan teased me again.

"There you go again. How could you say that?" I was immediately displeased and protested, "No... I've just been busy with personal business lately. Why are you acting like this?

"Who you marry or have children with is your own business. Let me tell you, you're lucky to have met a girl like Joyce. She's open-minded and tolerant. Who else would be so willing to wait for you? But you seem indifferent about her."

He gave me a gentle glance, then said helplessly, "Am I that bad?"

"How could you not be? Can't you be loyal to someone who deserves it?" I exposed him bluntly.

As soon as the words left my mouth, I felt like I might have gone too far.

"Are you saying you're out of my league?" Ryan said self-deprecatingly.

I chuckled contentedly. "Aren't I?"

"I guess. I'm practically invisible in someone's eyes," he retorted sarcastically, looking defeated.

I chuckled and fell silent, looking at the scenery outside the airport.

I thought about the first winter break when we had returned to our hometown together, and how he had taken care of me so carefully throughout the journey.

When Ryan saw that I wasn't saying anything, he looked at me. "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

"Actually, you did. I was thinking about that first winter break trip back to our hometown. You were so caring. To be honest, I felt very attached to you, but I always felt like I was overthinking it.

"If you had dropped any hints back then, I would have been with you without hesitation." I smiled.

"You were such a gentleman back then, so I really didn't dare assume anything. All I had was respect for you."

"Seems like I was wrong too. I was afraid my confession would scare you and make you think I had ulterior motives." He smiled brightly. "What a pair we are, huh?"

"Don't blame yourself. I was destinedOwned by NôvelDrama.Org.

to be with Atlas. The things that happened before him were all not meant to be, so it didn't end well. affirmed to Ryan. "From the moment

I was born, I was meant to be with

him." to

"Uh... are you really sure about that?" Ryan seemed doubtful.

"Absolutely. Since it felt wrong with anyone else, had to correct it. You should be glad we're still friends today. That was the best outcome anyone could have hoped for." sincerely said, "Hurry up and get married. Don't keep Joyce and your

parents waiting." to

"Okay," Ryan responded solemnly.

I knew that although saying this might hurt him a little, I couldn't let him continue to have lingering feelings for me. That would be irresponsible.

"If it's possible, I hope Matthew can be my friend too. After all, this was just a mistake by the heavens."

"Him? Forget it." Ryan scoffed.

I chuckled. "Yeah, I guess we shouldn't be too generous with love. I can't erase this regret in front of Atlas in this lifetime."

"You can't be too perfect, so don't torture yourself." Ryan quickly comforted me.

"Exactly. Wouldn't it be great if our friendship continued like this?" I patted his shoulder and said candidly, "It would be nice if you became my children's uncle. You're practically family anyway.

"Sure. I could be an uncle."

"Great! Hurry and get married then. Your house should be ready next month. You'll finally have your own nest to live in. When our business grows in the future, you can buy your dream villa," I said sincerely. to

"Joyce is good about that. She doesn't care about these things at all. Maybe it's just me," he said proudly.

"I didn't realize you were so self-centered," I teased.

We had arrived at the airport early, so we sat in the car and discussed the project again.

I suddenly remembered the development plan for Old Bourdamun, which had been delayed several times because of me.
