Chapter 2788 Im content with my life, she said quietly, her tone steady.
She pulled her hand away, retreating from his touch.
Keanu, marriage isnt something you walk away from lightly.

Lyndon had always been haunted by his first love, and now, with someone who looked like her so close, Keanu doubted his loyalty.
Maybe Tilda was too embarrassed to admit the truth, or perhaps she wanted him to give up, which was why she insisted on her current feelings.
Keanu took a deep breath, his eyes searching hers.
Tilda, are you happy because you think he loves you? The question hung in the air.
Did Lyndon love her? She wasnt certain.

Yes, I believe my husband loves me.
Keanu swallowed hard, forcing down the bitter taste of disappointment.
If thats really how you feel, then can you doa favor? What kind of favor? Im negotiating a business deal with your husband, but he flat-out refused.
Could you speak to him for me? Convince him to reconsider working with our company.

If I cant secure this deal, I might as well quit being a manager, Keanu explained.
He paused, taking a deep breath as he fought against the shrising within him.
Then he continued, Tilda, Ive finally made sprogress in my career.
I just managed to send my little brother abroad for his studies, and his tuition fees are hanging over me. I cant afford to start over now.
For the sake of our years as classmates, can you helpthis once? As he spoke, Keanu felt a mix of embarrassment and desperation. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
