Chapter 1070Chapter 1070 Justin helped Bryce with his homework patiently. Bryce initially listened to Justin‘s explan
ation , but he slowly got distracted. As a teacher, Justin could easily sense Bryce‘s distraction. He tapp
ed his finger on his son‘s head to get his attention.
“Hey. Why are you getting distracted? Your exams are
coming soon. Don‘t divide your attention elsewhere.” “I know…”
Bryce took the pen and doodled on the paper. He suddenly looked up at Justin and asked, “Dad,
will you and Mom remarry?”
Justin froze for a moment, dumbfounded, seemingly taken aback by the question.
After a short moment, Justin asked Bryce, “Why the sudden question?”
Bryce shook his head. “I just miss the old days. We were always a family of three…”
Justin stopped talking and looked at him
steadily. “I thought you‘d gotten used to it after all these years.”
Bryce bristled, “Are there any kids that‘ll get used to
their parents‘ divorce?”
Justin laughed. “You‘re right.”
He patted his head and asked, “Are you unhappy because Mom and Dad haven‘t been able to pay muc
h attention to
you?” “Not really.” Bryce shook his head at first, then suddenly nodded. “Actually, a little.”
“So, is it a yes or a no?” “Alright. I admit I‘m just a little…” Bryce pinched his fingertips
and gestured, “Just a little bit.”
“If you‘re unhappy, just say it. It‘s not like I‘m going to scold you.”
Justin nudged him in the head. “What. Are you afraid that Mom
will get mad at you?” Bryce scratched his head, feeling a
little embarrassed. “I was afraid you two would be upset.” After that, the father and son stopped talking
about the matter of remarriage.
Bryce was still a kid, but he was grown enough to read his parents‘ faces. After Justin guided
him through some questions, he closed the door to the study and turned to leave.
As soon as he walked out, he saw Tina coming out of the other room.
Tina looked past him to the room behind him. “How is he?”
“He‘s doing his homework,” Justin replied. However, when he
saw how relieved Tina looked, he suddenly changed to a slightly more serious demeanor and asked,“
What‘s the status of Stella‘s case now?”
Justin wanted to know when Tina‘s busy days would end so she could focus on preparing for Bryce‘s m
idterm.
Tina found his question strange. “Are you trying to get Stella‘s information from me?”
Justin admitted frankly, “Yes, but if it‘s inconvenient, you don‘t have to tell me.”“You‘re so honest.”
Tina sneered. “You still can‘t forget about her at this point. You‘re really loyal in love.”
Justin frowned a little. He accidentally blurted out, “Will you hurt her because of me…”
As soon as he said that, he realized he had crossed the line. He did not finish his sentence.
However, Tina clearly understood his implied meaning and looked at him in disbelief.
“What do you take me for? Do you think I hurt others for my private interest in the name of work?”
Tina got a little
worked up. “I‘ve told you before. I accepted the case for my own career. It has nothing to do with you!”
“I know, sorry. I didn‘t mean to…” Justine said apologetically.
“You clearly did!” Tina glared at Justin and refused to say anything else. She turned around and
stormed away without looking back.
Justin watched her leave and rubbed his brow in slight regret and annoyance.
