Chapter 405:
Could that really be true?
After a moment of reflection, Ryan confirmed, “Yes, I’m done interfering. I’ve warned her numerous times, but she continues making the same mistakes. It’s time for her to be held accountable p>
Despite Ryan’s assurance, Jenessa couldn’t shake the feeling of absurdity.
She scoffed.
“Really? Men are so fickle. When you adored Maisie, you bent over backward to shield her at every turn. And now, because you’ve fallen out of love, you think she deserves punishment? Isn’t it a little late for that p>
Ryan absorbed the sarcasm in her tone, falling silent for a long moment before responding quietly, “I’m sorry, Jenessa. Let’s meet tomorrow. I owe you a full explanation p>
“I can’t tomorrow. Maisie caused havoc in my studio today. It’s left me with a mountain of issues to sort out. I have to appease my team—I’m completely tied up,” Jenessa stated coolly.
Sounding anxious, Ryan offered, “I could come to your studio p>
Jenessa let out a weary sigh and rejected his offer.
“Ryan, you should focus on getting better. I’m already stretched thin and can’t take on caring for someone else. What’s more, yesterday’s drama has already caused too much disruption at the studio. I don’t want to foster any more misunderstandings p>
His feelings bruised by her words, Ryan hesitated, struggling to ask, “Jenessa, would it really cause trouble to let the studio staff know about our relationship p>
“Remember when we got married? You were the one who insisted on keeping our relationship under wraps,” Jenessa retorted sharply.

Her words hit him hard, leaving him silent and stunned. Ryan was unable to find the words to reply.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now p>
Jenessa waited for a reply, but the silence lingered. Breaking the quiet, she spoke with a hint of indifference.
Ryan, suddenly alert, quickly asked, “Jenessa, could you remove my account from your blacklist? It might make things simpler if you need to reach me later p>
Jenessa paused, considering his request, before reluctantly agreeing.
“Okay p>
Their unresolved issues lingered in the background, making it wise to keep communication channels open.
After ending the call, Jenessa casually removed Ryan’s account from her blacklist.
Meanwhile, Ryan, feeling a whirlwind of emotions, opened Jenessa’s social media profile. He scrolled slowly through the recent posts showcasing the design events she had participated in. It was clear she was thriving since their separation.
Compelled to keep looking, Ryan scrolled further back, landing on photos from their three-year marriage. During that time, Jenessa hadn’t yet adopted the alias Sloane, and she was vibrant, deeply involved in her role as secretary at WorldLink.
Back when they were together, Ryan rarely glanced at her social media. Now, he found himself poring over it repeatedly, as if rediscovering Jenessa through these images. This newfound insight seemed to ease his regret for not appreciating her enough in the past.
Ryan faced a sleepless night. Reflecting on a question Jenessa had asked during their recent call, he experienced a deep heartache, the pain only exacerbated by his already injured arm.
