At her son’s first birthday party, his wife ordered a separate dish for the assistant.
Without a moment's hesitation, I sent a message to my lawyer friend and asked him to draft a divorce agreement.
Seeing the agreement, Sophia Carter laughed out of anger.
"There were hundreds of dishes at the first birthday party, and you only stared at Ryan's dish?"
"Can you please curb your possessiveness?"
"Whatever you say," I said calmly, "I'm going to get a divorce anyway."
When I hurried back to the banquet hall, my wife's assistant took the seat that originally belonged to me.
He was wearing a suit of the same color as Sophia Carter, and his every move and gesture acted like a host.
"Assistant Ren and President Jiang look like a perfect match."
"Boss Jiang goes to work with Assistant Ren every day. Maybe they already live together."
When I heard the company employee's words, my heart felt like it was being gripped by an invisible hand.
Seeing me coming back, Ryan Young apologized profusely.
"Brother-in-law, it's all my fault that I spilled red wine on your clothes."
"You won't blame me?"
Before I could respond, Sophia Carter spoke first.
"Don't I know what you are like?"
"Go sit at table number three. I ordered you a bowl of porridge."
Everyone praised Sophia Carter for being considerate to her colleagues.
"Just now, the boy said he had a stomachache, so Mr. Jiang ordered porridge for him."
"His feet were rubbed and bleeding, and Mr. Jiang put a band-aid on them for him."
"Ryan is lucky to have such a considerate woman."
I smiled on the surface, but my nails dug deep into my palms.
Sophia Carter used to hate stupidity more than anyone.
Sometimes he would get angry and fire his assistant just because he had an extra name tag.
I haven't seen such patience for a long time.
"Today's protagonist is my son, please don't talk about me."
Sophia Carter spoke calmly without any explanation.
The birthday party was about to begin, and she stopped me from getting up.
"I forgot to tell you, I've already decided on Leo's godfather."
Without waiting for my reaction, Ryan Young put a safety lock on Leo.
He placed a kiss on the side of his son's face, "I will be Leo's father from now on."
Looking up, the provocation in his eyes was clearly visible.
Keep everything simple.
Sophia Carter suddenly interrupted the process when it was almost over.
"According to the rules, Leo should kowtow to Ryan to be his godfather today."
"Kowtow?" I frowned. "Leo is only one year old. Kowtow can easily lead to suffocation and brain damage."
"Can you please think before you speak?"
Sophia Carter said in a bad tone, "Is it that Leo can't do it, or do you have a grudge against Leo's choice of godfather?!"
"Okay, Mr. Jiang, I've already given you the safety lock, so the ceremony is complete."
Ryan Young interrupted our argument, and the woman who had been arguing with me the previous second immediately calmed down.
"I want to send a few words of blessing to Leo, is that okay?"
Under Sophia Carter's tacit gaze, the microphone was placed in Ryan Young's hands.
I glanced across the table, and the wine glass with some red wine remaining on it was particularly eye-catching.
Ryan Young smiled.
"I heard that Leo was a test-tube baby."
"Now that I look closely, it really lacks some human touch."
"Test tube babies must be very delicate. It's hard for my brother-in-law to take care of them."
"Oh, by the way, Leo knows that he is from the laboratory..."
There was a crisp sound.
I walked off the stage and slapped Ryan Young in the face.
I hit him and his head tilted, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Another crisp sound.
Sophia Carter said coldly, "This is for you on Ryan's behalf."
