She pressed the answer button.

“Dami, is there something you need?”

On the other end of the line, Damian was troubled by the broken antique pieces on the table.

He spoke.

“Audrey, there’s something I need your help with.”

Audrey’s voice was as gentle as water.

“Dami, between us, don’t say ‘help’. Just tell me, what do you need me to do?”

Damian said, “I have a piece of broken antique I want to restore. You’re a professional, so I wanted to ask if you have any suggestions.”

Audrey was happy that Damian needed her, but then she complained playfully.

“Your wife is also an antique restoration specialist, and she’s still Prof. Hutchinson’s student. Why don’t you ask your wife to help you!”

Damian didn’t explain, he just said, “If it’s too much trouble, I can ask someone else!”

Audrey said, “Hey, don’t be so hasty, I never said I wouldn’t help!

“Restoring antiques is a professional job. Bring it to me and I’ll fix it for you.”

Damian thought for a moment, “This antique means a lot to me. I want to restore it myself.”

Audrey was very curious about what kind of antique could be so important.

“Then bring it over, and I’ll teach you how to restore it.”

Damian glanced at the time; it was already ten o’clock at night.

“I’ll wait for you in the café on the first floor of the hotel.”

After saying this, he hung up before Audrey could say anything else.

Audrey had thought he would come to her room, but unexpectedly, he asked to meet in the cafe downstairs.

She gripped her phone, and a plan quickly formed in her mind.

The Hogan’s mansion.

Darlene slept until evening.

When she opened her eyes and saw herself in a strange room, she was so frightened that she burst into tears.

The maid heard her and immediately came to comfort her.

But faced with a stranger, Darlene cried even harder.

The maid had no choice but to call Claudine.

“Where’s Damian? Isn’t he here?”

Claudine didn’t know Damian wasn’t home.

The maid replied, “The son-in-law left half an hour ago, didn’t say where he was going.

Ms. Hogan, you’d better go check on the child. She won’t stop crying, Ms. Hogan. You and Mr. Hogan were never this good at crying when you were little.”

Claudine glanced at the time. It was so late, if Darlene kept crying, she would wake her mother up.

She walked toward the guest room, instructing the maid to prepare a light dinner.

Before she even entered the room, she could hear Darlene’s cries.

It was indeed her usual hysteria.

Claudine entered the room, and before she could speak, Darlene ran over and threw herself into her arms.

She clung tightly to Claudine’s neck, her tears soaking Claudine’s shoulder.

Her small body, as she rushed over, made Claudine feel her deep fear and dependence.

But Claudine also knew that Darlene’s dependence was because Audrey and Damian were not there.

“Alright, don’t cry anymore.”

Claudine wiped Darlene’s tears.

“Your father went out, he’ll be back soon. Let’s go eat something first, okay?”

Darlene sobbed.

“My dad won’t come back tonight, Claudine, can I sleep with you?”

Claudine frowned.

“How do you know he won’t come back tonight?”

Darlene raised her phone watch.

“Mom told me. She said Dad is going on a date with her tonight.”

Claudine glanced at the chat page, and saw the photo Audrey had sent.

It was a café.

Ha.

Those two really are quite loving!

They couldn’t even wait one night, leaving their daughter behind just to go on a date!

Claudine took out her phone and snapped a picture of that photo.

It was only after overhearing the conversation between Claudine and Bridgette that Damian finally understood: what Claudine cared about most was not Audrey, but rather, her desire for a genuine, heartfelt relationship.

But he could not give her that.

He knew very clearly that he did not love Claudine.

He also knew that if he wanted to maintain this marriage, he would have to do something to show his sincerity.

To him, Claudine was the most suitable wife in every respect.

As a competent businessman, he naturally knew how to exchange the smallest cost for the greatest benefit.

Divorce and remarriage would not only damage his and the Barrette Group’s reputation, but would also shrink his as-

sets.

Rather than wasting time dealing with those matters, it was better to think about how to make Claudine give up the idea of divorce.

He returned to the bedroom and immediately saw the pile of fragments on the table.

Damian sat down at the table and picked up the shards.

He recalled that just now, Audrey had come to see him.
