Bye, My Ex-husband Chapter 46: Rayan, I'm Afraid

Because of the new project, Rayan had to work with Janessa.

She moved her desk to the top floor for convenience.

The two of them negotiated and solved every problem that came up together.

This meant that many of the office workers envied Janessa.

In the Planning Department, Sally was particularly jealous of her.

She knew that if it weren't for Janessa, she would have more one-on-one time discussing work with the
CEO.

In Rayan's office, Janessa at last finished the final plan and placed it on his desk.

"Here we go, this is the final version of the plan.They have to say yes to this,"

Janessa said confidently.

These days, she had been working very hard to finish this project.

With the report in his hand, Rayan thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow we'll go present this plan
to our partner company and negotiate the details of our cooperation.You will come with me."

"Me? Really? Are you joking? Usually Linda is the one who goes with you."

Although Janessa wanted to go, Linda was generally responsible for this kind of thing.

Even if she couldn't, she would ask Sally to go instead.

There was no way Janessa could do it.



"You are more familiar with this project than Linda.It's important that you are there."

Rayan considered the woman in front of him to be his most powerful assistant.

The company had attached great importance to this project for him to undertake.

He was sure that Janessa would be a great help with it.

Janessa agreed.

She lowered her head to hide her joy.

She was even closer to her goal.

After this, she believed that she would soon be able to achieve it.

The news that Janessa had been given this important role in the company spread quickly.

As the new team leader of the project, Janessa was not smug.

She asked for someone to buy drinks and some cakes for all her colleagues.

Soon, many people in the company seemed to have forgotten that they had spoken ill of her behind her
back, and began to flatter her.

Janessa didn’t care.

This was just something normal in the office.

lt was a long-standing truth that the people of this company were fickle.

They were who they were just to survive this lipstick jungle.



Sally didn't join the crowd in fawning over Janessa.

Instead, she quietly left the office.

Rayan returned home after work.

As soon as he opened the door, a happy figure ran into his arms.

"Why are you out of bed? The doctor said you're still weak and need rest."

Looking down at the barefoot woman, Rayan pretended to be angry and spanked her.

Then he bent down dotingly, picked her up, and carried her back to the bedroom.

Gracie's arms were still tight around Rayan's neck as he set her down.

Their faces were so close to each other.

"Oh, Rayan.I'm fine, really."

Gracie looked at Rayan affectionately.

She bit her lips, looking charming.

She couldn't help but put her lips to his.

Closing her eyes, she gently kissed him.

"No, I can't.You're still so weak, Gracie."

If he hadn't been so afraid of hurting her, Rayan wouldn't have been able to resist himself.



"Don't worry.I'm a doctor, remember? I know my condition very well.Don't you still love me? Don't you
want me?"

Gracie looked at Rayan, tears streaming down her cheeks.

With her thin face, she looked even more pitiful.

To Rayan, seeing her like this was like a thorn in his heart.

Lowering his head, Rayan kissed her tears.

"How could I not love you? No, Gracie.I'm worried you might not be able to handle it."

Hearing this, Gracie blushed.

She began to rest her head on Rayan’s neck.

Her gentle breath tickled his ear.

He couldn't resist it anymore.

He lowered his head and kissed her lovingly.

They had a good night together, both of them enjoying themselves.

Afterwards, they laid in bed, feeling marvelous.

Leaning against Rayan, Gracie began to draw circles on his chest with her fingers.

"Rayan, I was so scared when I was locked up in the old house.I never knew that there was a place
that horrible."



"What happened? Tell me.What scared you?"Rayan asked.

"The wind was so strong that night and I was all alone.If Janessa hadn't come that day, I wouldn't have
known who locked me up in there."

As she spoke Janessa's name, Gracie seemed very angry.

She had recognized Janessa's voice, but Janessa hadn't responded to her.

She didn't say one word."Janessa was there? When?"

When he had first heard the news about Gracie gone missing, Rayan suspected that she was stuck in
the old house, but the people he sent to find her said she wasn't.

How on Earth did Janessa know that Gracie was there? "Several days ago.I heard her voice at the
door that night.I told her that I was trapped in the room.I hoped she could tell you where I was, but she
didn't want to help me."

As Gracie spoke, she began to cry again.

She buried her face in the quilt and sobbed in a low voice.

Rayan was shocked that Janessa knew that Gracie was in the old house, but didn't tell him.

What the hell was she up to? However, for the time being, Rayan didn't want to find out the reason.

Now that Gracie had returned to him, he didn't want to look into the matter.

After coaxing Gracie to sleep, Rayan went back to his own room and fell asleep.

Although she lived in the villa of the Lu family, she slept in the guest room instead of the master
bedroom.



Though, her clothes were in the master bedroom, placed there by her on purpose.

She wanted Janessa to know that whether she was there or not, she would always be Rayan's real
wife.

However, even though he had divorced Janessa, Rayan didn't seem to want to marry her, nor did he
ask her to move into the master bedroom with him.

As soon as Rayan was gone, Gracie opened her eyes.

Even when she had cried so bitterly, Rayan was still reluctant to send his ex-wife away.

She thought that maybe she needed to make a long-term plan.

Sally should do something more for her this time.

After thinking it over again and again, Gracie closed her eyes and went back to sleep.

“Janessa, just wait and see.Your good days here will come to an end soon,’’ she thought.
