Chubby Mommy: Scheming Daddy, Surrender Now!-Chapter 338: Devoted to Work

"Nathaniel?" Ruby Sullivan just realized that Sasha Shaw didn’t know the reason why she had cut ties with Faye Truman. Recently, she had quite a few little secrets she needed to keep to herself...

"Of course, it doesn’t matter."

Sasha Shaw pressed her lips together, "Darling, be honest with me, does Faye Truman like you?"

That guy went back home and really went on a blind date, quickly getting a girlfriend who’s a kindergarten teacher, barely in her early twenties, showing off their love all over social media, at such a high profile that it was like he had become a different person.

In Sasha Shaw’s opinion, it was basically a reaction to being hurt.

Ruby Sullivan had already blocked all of Faye Truman’s contact information, so she wasn’t aware of these things.

She thought about it and decided that Seth’s issue definitely couldn’t be told to anyone, but compared to that, Faye Truman liking her wasn’t a big deal. She needed a reason to cut ties with Faye Truman.

"Well, he said so, but I never knew."

"I knew it." Sasha Shaw thought of Faye Truman’s injuries, and Ethan Sterling’s crazy state, and probed, "You and Ethan Sterling..."

"It’s not because of Faye Truman!" Ruby Sullivan said firmly, "And Ethan doesn’t know what happened that night either. He might have just seen me crying and wanted to ask Faye Truman clearly, so they ended up arguing."

These were her guesses, but she understood Faye Truman’s feelings better than Sasha Shaw did, so she was pretty sure her guess was close to the truth.

Sasha Shaw sighed, "And there’s Honey and Seth, are you really sure?"

Ruby Sullivan pressed her lips together, "Probably."

Sasha Shaw could tell she was still hesitant and understood why she had sought her out.

If it were her facing such a decision, she would be equally confused and want to share a few words with a friend.

"No matter what decision you make, I will always be on your side."

"I knew you were the best."

After chatting with Sasha Shaw, Ruby Sullivan had made up her mind. She couldn’t remarry Ethan Sterling, she could only leave him.

Meanwhile, Howard and Ethan Sterling were sitting in another restaurant, and the atmosphere wasn’t as pleasant.

Ethan Sterling’s face was dark, in a very bad mood. Howard looked at a table full of delicious food and thought that the former boss’s mood was ruining his appetite.

He thought it wasn’t good to stay silent, so he took the initiative to comfort, "Boss, I think you don’t need to worry too much. You and Wenny have two kids, with Honey and Seth around. Even if she doesn’t agree to remarry you now, she won’t leave you. You live together, with or without that paper, it’s the same." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Ethan Sterling’s gaze turned stern, "If it’s the same, why not have one more piece of paper?" And he just wanted to give her some assurance, what’s wrong with that?

Howard was at a loss for words and could only change his approach, "You see, even big stars have unsuccessful proposals. Maybe if you try a few more times, it will work. Besides, Wenny has been very tired lately, with all her focus on the company’s new products. Maybe she just hasn’t had the mood to think about these things."

Ethan Sterling glared at him, "Of course I know she’s been busy lately. Is there a problem with your company? Usually, it’s the bosses who take it easy while employees work overtime like dogs, but your company has the boss busy like a dog every day?"

Howard smiled bitterly, "Nirvana isn’t like other companies. If Wenny relaxed all the time, there wouldn’t be any new products coming out, unless she finds a reliable apprentice like L found hers."

Howard paused and continued, "The Sullivan Group’s cooperation with the Lawson Group is already set in stone. The press conference next week should officially announce it. The Sullivan Group has been developing well this year, and Rhonda Sullivan’s management is also commendable. Wenny might be under pressure."

"Help her manage the market well, don’t worry."

"I’m not worried, but Wenny doesn’t think that way. She has high aspirations and doesn’t want to rely on you, you know that."

Hearing this, Ethan Sterling felt more at ease. Perhaps Ruby Sullivan didn’t refuse to marry him because she didn’t want to rely on him, and once Nirvana stabilized, she would agree to his proposal.

Thinking about this, he couldn’t help wanting to invest some money into Nirvana to help Howard expand the market.

Of course, it was just a thought. He knew Ruby Sullivan wouldn’t be happy if she found out, so naturally, he wouldn’t do it.

In the following days, Ruby Sullivan acted as if the proposal never happened, living her life as usual. However, Ethan Sterling always felt that her gaze seemed strange, as if she was avoiding something. He couldn’t understand and assumed the proposal put pressure on her. To avoid making her feel more pressured, he dared not ask anything and pretended he hadn’t noticed anything.

In a blink of an eye, a week passed, and Nirvana announced the name of its second perfume on its official website, Angel’s Heart. In addition to the perfume description, a concept image of the bottle was released, and unlimited pre-orders would start in half a month.

Just like with Nirvana’s previous products, customers who participated in the pre-order would receive some limited-edition small gifts and samples of existing products from the company.

On the day of the announcement, the design of the perfume bottle was met with a wave of stunning praise online, but netizens, having seen Nirvana’s prices, were straightforward in saying that Nirvana’s perfumes were unrelated to them.

Ruby Sullivan was quite indifferent to this kind of comment since her target audience wasn’t the kind of netizens who left messages on the official blog.

Joy Jennings, worried that her comment would be overlooked, specifically messaged Ruby Sullivan: I’ve already prepared the money, I’m so excited!

Only then did Ruby Sullivan remember this little fan girl. Previously, she was Nirvana’s first customer and received a surprise gift package specially prepared for her, which made her extremely happy.

In fact, Ruby Sullivan had originally wanted to deliver the perfume to her personally, but during the delivery period, she was still in Caelus, so she had to abandon the idea.

"I’ll send you a bottle this time, as a fan reward," Ruby Sullivan replied with a chuckle.

Then her phone was bombarded with various excited emojis for a full five minutes, ending with a cute heart gesture emoji.

Ruby Sullivan laughed. She selected her own emoji, which didn’t seem special either, so she just copied her heart gesture.

Shortly after Nirvana’s new release, the Sullivan Group made a high-profile announcement of its cooperation with the Lawson Group, and planned to host a grand celebration party. All the notable figures in Ariston received invitations, including Ruby Sullivan and Ethan Sterling.

Ruby Sullivan was somewhat surprised. She thought that woman wouldn’t want to see her.

Of course, this banquet also became a focus for journalists, who, apart from figures like L who are rarely seen, were keen on the love-hate relationship between Ethan Sterling and the Sullivan sisters, hoping for some new drama to unfold today.

Ethan Sterling was quite happy. The last show of affection seemed to have not gone quite well, so he was determined to put on a good show this time to support his wife.

However, Ruby Sullivan was hesitant, somewhat reluctant to attend.

She was afraid of seeing L.
