C8 No Emotional Basis

Sienna Henry was stunned for a moment before reacting. "Jane Ronan has experienced that kind of injury and betrayal. She has no one to rely on these past three years. If she wasn't a bit stronger, who would she show weakness to?"

Just as she said that, Edwin Carter stopped and turned around to look at her gloomily.

Sienna Henry immediately added, "But in the future, she will feel sorry for you."

"..."

The conference room was on the 23rd floor while the operations department was on the 19th floor. When the elevator reached the 22nd floor, the door opened and Madonna from the PR Department walked in.

Jane Ronan didn't like people like Madonna, so she stood to the side, not wanting to greet them.

Madonna glanced at Jane Ronan, then faced the elevator door, her head held high. "Some people, don't think that no one would know of the shameful things that happened in a different city."

Jane Ronan listened and decided not to waste her energy on a woman like Madonna who caused trouble.

Jane Ronan's completely indifferent attitude annoyed Madonna. She turned around and glared fiercely at Jane Ronan. "Jane Ronan, don't tell me you didn't know that our CEO was married?"

Jane Ronan pursed her lips and smiled. If she didn't know that Edwin Carter was married, who else would know?

Madonna wanted to hook up with Edwin Carter, so she decided that it was the same for Jane Ronan. She added, "CEO made Sienna Henry send an internal email this morning to announce that he's a married man to everyone in the company."

Jane Ronan was so busy with the Starlight Corporation's bidding that she didn't even look at the company's internal email. She really didn't know about this.

Now that he knew, he couldn't help but feel a tinge of sweetness in his heart.

Edwin Carter said he would be jealous when he saw other men being close to her, provided he had already declared to everyone that he was married and stopped the peach blossom incident.

Thinking of this, Jane Ronan inwardly rejoiced and couldn't help but laugh.

Madonna had unrealistic fantasies about Edwin Carter. When she saw his married email this morning, her heart turned cold.

After being depressed for the better part of a day, he wanted to invite someone to be depressed along with him. As soon as he thought of that, he thought of Jane Ronan.

She wanted Jane Ronan to have a taste of what she had tasted. Who knew that Jane Ronan would have such a carefree expression? It truly made her angry.

Madonna stomped her foot angrily. She gritted her teeth and thought that she couldn't do anything to Jane Ronan now, but one day, she would catch hold of Jane Ronan's weakness, making her unable to act so arrogantly again.

"..."

Because of yesterday's lesson, Jane Ronan didn't waste any time to rush home after work today. She hoped that she could make dinner before Edwin Carter got off work, so she couldn't starve him anymore.

When they went to the supermarket to buy ingredients, Jane Ronan dialed Edwin Carter's number.

When Jane Ronan called, Edwin Carter was in the middle of a temporary meeting with a few higher-ups.

He raised his hand to indicate for everyone to quiet down before he answered the phone. "Is something the matter?"

Jane Ronan said, "I'm at the supermarket. Do you have anything to eat?"

Edwin Carter said calmly, "I'm not picky with food, you can handle it."

When Edwin Carter said this, Sienna Henry and Luis George were beside him. Hearing him say this, the two of them exchanged a glance at the same time.

If their CEO wasn't picky with his food, then there wouldn't be anyone in this world who would be picky with their food.

When Edwin Carter returned home, Jane Ronan was busy in the kitchen.

She was wearing an apron, and her long black hair was tied up in a random bun, revealing her fair neck.

It wasn't hard to imagine her doing well at work, seeing her like that.

Edwin Carter looked at her blankly for a while before walking into the kitchen, "Jane Ronan, I'm back."

Jane Ronan turned around with a slight smile. "You go and change your clothes first. We'll start eating soon."

Edwin Carter stood still. "Jane Ronan …"

Jane Ronan's hands did not stop moving. She turned around and looked at him. "What happened?"

"I'm going to change." Edwin Carter originally said that she wouldn't need to be busy cooking after work. He told his auntie to prepare the dishes, but he felt that eating the dishes personally cooked by his wife wasn't bad.

The way he looked at his home in his heart was that when he returned home from work, he would be able to eat hot food personally cooked by his wife, not everything was prepared by his cooking auntie.

Jane Ronan prepared three dishes and a soup. There were white sliced chicken, onion fried meat, green fried lotus root slices, and golden needle mushroom broth.

When Jane Ronan saw that Edwin Carter only ate light dishes at noon, she guessed that he liked light food, so she prepared these ordinary dishes.

Edwin Carter changed his clothes and came out. The dishes were already on the table. He frowned slightly when he saw the onion on the table. But soon, nothing happened, so Jane Ronan naturally didn't notice.

Jane Ronan brought the soup over and served Edwin Carter a bowl first, "I've been busy all day, let's drink a bowl of soup first."

"Alright." Edwin Carter took the bowl and took a sip.

Jane Ronan picked up another onion and put it into Edwin Carter's rice bowl, "Onion is very healthy, eat more."

"Alright." Edwin Carter nodded.

However, he did not immediately eat. Instead, he slowly drank the soup.

He drank a bowl and added another bowl. He also ate a few pieces of sliced chicken and lotus root. He didn't touch Jane Ronan's bowl of food or the onion.

Noticing this, Jane Ronan lowered her head as she continued to gobble down the food with a sour feeling in her heart.

Jane Ronan didn't say anything else. Edwin Carter didn't like to talk at the table either, so the atmosphere became quiet for a while.

After the meal, Edwin Carter was responsible for washing the dishes. Jane Ronan turned around and went back to her room without saying anything.

She clearly knew that the relationship between her and Edwin Carter wasn't that close, but she would still feel sad when she saw how much Edwin Carter despised her food.

But on second thoughts, their marriage was a marriage without any basis in feeling, only for the sake of marriage.

Although they were already husband and wife, neither of them understood the other. Neither of them was close enough to help each other with food. She had been careless.

In the future, she would try to respect him as much as possible and would never go out of line again.

After Jane Ronan thought it through, she stopped worrying about the food.

She turned on her computer and prepared to take a closer look at the Starlight Project's proposal. Friday was the opening date. With so many people busy for so long, they definitely could not afford to make any mistakes.

When Jane Ronan opened the folder, her cellphone rang.

Jane Ronan saw that it was her best friend, Laura. When she picked up the call, she heard Laura yell in a fiery voice, "Little girl, where did you die? Why didn't you tell me about the move? You want to scare me to death? "

Laura was Jane Ronan's high school classmate in university. Back then, she was the only one who stood by Jane Ronan's side when she was betrayed by everyone.

Jane Ronan decided to come to Longahe to develop. Laura dragged a simple luggage with her and left the bustling capital to Longahe City without a second thought.

She was worried that Jane Ronan would do something stupid by herself, so she had initially wanted to accompany Jane Ronan for two months.
