Chapter 692 The Ultimatum
Upon hearing Susan's words, Isabella frowned and said, "I wouldn't laugh at you. I'm only saying this because I care about you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't bother!"
"I know you're doing it for my own good, but I need to work now. Can you please not disturb me?" Susan said.
Hearing this, Isabella could only purse her lips and sigh. "I've already told you everything I could, and there's really nothing more to say."
Susan shook her head and smiled at these words.
A moment later, Isabella turned to leave.
But just as she turned, she caught a glimpse of the small box wrapped in pretty cellophane paper on the corner of the desk.
The next moment, Isabella reached out and grabbed the small box. "Let me see what Seb gave you."
"Can you not mess with my stuff?" Susan stood up to snatch the box back when she saw Isabella take it.
But Isabella was quick and had already unwrapped the cellophane, revealing a small silver box inside.
"What is this?" Isabella looked at the small box from all angles, not knowing what it was.
Seeing the small silver box, Susan covered her face with her hand.
Did it have to be this embarrassing?
Although she couldn't read the words on the silver box, the packaging was too familiar. Seb had bought this brand of condoms a few times.
At this moment, Susan remembered what Leon had said when he handed her the box, mentioning that this brand was comfortable for Seb.
If she remembered correctly, this was an original import from Eldonia, and it was quite expensive!
Why would Seb give her this?
Wasn't he insisting that she take the pill? Why did he suddenly buy this and have Leon deliver it? She really couldn't understand the unpredictable Seb anymore.
Isabella looked at the box for a long time, not knowing what was inside, and the next moment, she couldn't help but open it.
"Give it back to me!" Susan stepped forward to snatch it back.
But she didn't succeed because Isabella, who was slightly taller than Susan, had already pulled out a string of condoms from the box.
Seeing the string of condoms floating in the air, Isabella's eyes almost popped out!
"Condoms?" Isabella looked at the condoms in front of her, not knowing what to say.
At this moment, Susan's face turned red all the way to her neck.
But she knew that Isabella had already seen them, and there was no way to salvage the situation.
So, the next moment, Susan calmly took the string of ten condoms from Isabella's hand and said nonchalantly, "Do you want me to give you a few to use with Leon?"
Isabella quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no, you and Seb keep them for yourselves."
"Be careful, you two," Susan teased, trying to lighten the mood. "Wouldn't want a shotgun wedding."
"Right, gotta go! Enjoy yourselves!" With that, Isabella covered her mouth and laughed as she walked out.
After Isabella left, Susan looked at the condoms in her hand, pursed her lips, and thought, 'What does he mean? Is he planning to come to my bed tonight?'
The next moment, afraid that someone else might come in, Susan quickly folded the string of condoms and stuffed them into her purse.
After thinking that it might not be safe to keep them in her bag, she took them out again, wrapped them in a newspaper, and stuffed them into the innermost part of her purse, finally feeling at ease.
Sure enough, that night, Seb appeared at Susan's rented apartment.
Of course, he used the condoms, and life went on uneventfully. Susan felt like a walking corpse, only finding joy when she saw the children.
In the luxuriously decorated villa, a marble-topped dining table was set with exquisite delicacies.
Rylee and Andrew ate with their heads down. Rylee looked up at him, wanting to say something but hesitating.
Seeing Rylee a bit distracted, Andrew put some food into Rylee's plate and smiled. "Eat more!"
Looking down at the food in her plate, Rylee had no appetite at all. She put down her knife and fork and said seriously to Andrew, "Andrew, the month is up. When are you going to submit your resignation to Seb? And have you told your parents about us moving to Averlake? What did they say?"
Hearing this, Andrew, who was eating with his head down, paused for a moment, then looked up and smiled. "Rylee, can we talk about this after dinner?"
Rylee was not satisfied with Andrew's attitude and said sternly, "Andrew, I'm not a child anymore. You can't just sweet-talk your way out of this. If you can't do it, then we should get a divorce."
These days, every time Rylee brought up the matter, Andrew would brush it off. She knew he didn't want to leave Maple Valley, but she had to force him to leave with her because she didn't want to trouble Seb anymore, nor did she want Andrew to have any more entanglements with Susan.
Seeing that Rylee was serious, Andrew quickly smiled and held Rylee's hand on the table, saying, "I've already talked to my parents. They can't accept it for now. My work at Prosperity Group isn't settled yet either. Give me a bit more time. I promised you, and I will keep my word. Then we can move to Averlake and enjoy a peaceful and relaxing life, okay?"
Hearing this, Rylee thought for a moment, then looked up and said, "This Saturday, I'll go back to your hometown with you. I'll talk to your parents myself. If they can't bear to part with you, we'll take them with us to Averlake. As for your work at Prosperity Group, I'll talk to Seb and have someone else take over."
"Rylee." Hearing this, Andrew frowned.
Rylee continued, "Write a resignation letter tonight and give it to Seb tomorrow."
With that, Rylee picked up her phone to call Seb.
"What are you doing?" Andrew grabbed Rylee's hand holding the phone.
"I'm calling Seb to tell him. I'm sure he'll agree." Rylee said firmly.
Hearing this, Andrew became anxious but still had to patiently persuade her, "Rylee, tomorrow is Friday. The company is very busy on Fridays. Besides, didn't we agree to go to the movies tonight? How about this, I'll write the resignation letter tomorrow night and hand it to Seb on Monday, okay? This weekend, you and I will go back and talk to my parents, and we'll quickly handle the immigration procedures to Averlake."
