Chapter 359 Justin watched her actions thoughtfully but said nothing. He told her to sit down across the desk.
“You came to see me. I assume you have some business?”
Stella nodded. “I wanted to ask about Robb‘s offer to study abroad.”
Justin could probably tell her intentions.
He wanted to cut to the chase, but after thinking about it, he decided to explain.
“Sorry about earlier. Tina and I have a little disagreement. She has no problem with you. She‘s just unhappy with me.” Stella was actually a little curious about Justin‘s matters with Tina. She asked politely, “Mr. Hall, why are you guys always so tense? When you divorced, didn‘t you separate peacefully?” Justin understood her implication and laughed at himself mockingly. “Actually, it wasn’t that bad. It was a peaceful breakup. There were no major conflicts or cheating...” The two were still making efforts to keep the family steady even the day before the divorce. “Then why did you get divorced anyway?” Justin could not explain clearly. “Perhaps we just didn‘t see the need to stay together anymore. So, we divorced. However, we didn‘t announce it immediately because of my son.” After a long time, Bryce finally discovered it. He threw a tantrum and almost ran away from home.
After they got Bryce back, they agreed on how they wanted to raise their son after the divorce. From that point on, Justin and Tina realized that they were almost like strangers.
Their divorce was a peaceful negotiation, but as time went on their resentment for each other grew. It grew to the point where the mere sight of each other would make them fight.
Stella paused for a moment. “Don‘t worry. I‘ll talk to him about this. I‘m here mainly to make sure...”
Stella could not refuse since he said that, so she called Roger.
Roger thought Stella paid him a special trip, but he saw Justin was there too. His face sank. “Sis, Mr. Hall...” Justin noticed that he greeted Stella first and did not comment about it. He told him to sit across from him. “You should know what your sister and I want to talk about, right?”
“This is our own business. Mr. Hall, I hope you can give me the space to make my own choices. I don‘t want outsiders to interfere...” Roger made his position clear before he even sat down. Stella‘s face turned gloomy. “Have you ever wanted to discuss this matter with me? Why did you refuse? Studying abroad is a great opportunity for you.” “I already said I don‘t want to leave...” “You‘re an adult.” Justin could not help but say, “It‘s your future. I hope you can talk to Ella about it.”
The two of them seemed to be preaching. This provoked Roger and made him rebellious. He stood up abruptly. “I know you‘re here to convince me, but I‘ve already decided. It‘s useless for you to say anything!”
