Chapter 4

Skyler ignored him.

She was busy discussing with me about the setup of a new direct-sales brand store she was working on.

Tyler, hearing this, deliberately made a commotion at the dinner table. When we both looked at him, he smiled and said:

"Oh my, you're talking about something I'm quite familiar with. I got a bit excited."

He turned to the puzzled Skyler and said, "My ex-wife has a direct-sales brand that's doing quite well. She has many resources that she could share with me. For Ethan's sake, I could help you out."

He then went on to describe the brand in detail. I could see that Skyler was very interested.

She looked at me hesitantly, then back at Tyler, and asked:

"Since it's your ex-wife's, wouldn't it be awkward?"

"What's awkward about it? A quick chat and everything's solved. Just wait for my message."

This time, Skyler didn't refuse. I knew her "mute" setting for Tyler was about to be turned off.

Sure enough, when she came into the room later, she said to me, "Tyler is quite generous and connected, isn't he?"

I just looked up at her once, my eyes already half red.

She immediately came over to comfort me: "I was just saying. How could I be interested in a man who's still entangled with his ex-wife?"
