Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 1956

Hilliard, fresh from the meeting, trailed Jennifer into the CEO’s office.

He noticed her sour mood and chose silence as his companion.

Upon entering the office, Jennifer made her way to her chair and sat.

She turned her head, intending to teach Hilliard a lesson.

“Mr.

Simmons, muting your phone during a meeting is basic etiquette,” she began.

Before she could continue, Hilliard extended his left hand in a gesture of apology.

“I’m sorry.

It was my mistake, and it won’t happen again.

If you’re upset, feel free to discipline me as you did before,” he said, his tone sincere.

Jennifer found herself at a loss for words.

The scolding that had been on the tip of her tongue dissolved in the face of his earnest apology.

She stared at Hilliard, now unable to vent her frustration.

“Why are you apologizing so quickly? This isn’t Like the Hilliard I knew, who used to be so obstinate.

Hilliard responded gravely, “Being obstinate isn’t beneficial.

It doesn’t lead to understanding love, replaceing a partner, or avoiding loneliness.

”

Jennifer couldn’t help but laugh.

Throughout this time, she found herself increasingly charmed by Hilliard.

At moments, she saw him as endearingly foolish and adorable; at others, she recognized the genuine effort he put into winning her affection.

Truthfully, Jennifer felt profoundly moved by Hilliard’s persistent pursuit over the past month.

It was remarkable, given his reputation as a proud and prominent figure of Stastle’s wealthiest family.

As these thoughts crossed her mind, Hilliard remained before her, humbly extending his left palm, ready to accept any form of reprimand she deem

ed necessary.

Had he chosen to deny his mistake and continued to argue, Jennifer might have resorted to a more direct and forceful method of correction.

Yet, his positive approach left her with no desire to punish him at all.

Reflecting on the moment, Jennifer lightly tapped his palm with hers.

“In light of this being your first mistake, a week’s salary will be deducted.

Do you have any objections?”

To Hilliard, the loss of a week’s salary was trivial, his wealth far surpassed such concerns.

“No problem at all.

Your decision is fair, Miss Turner,” he agreed, his voice carrying a hint of respect.

Jennifer, slightly taken aback by his graciousness, glanced away to her computer screen, her tone casual.

“I noticed you turned off your phone during our meeting.

Given the urgency of those messages, it might be wise to check them.

”

Reminded by her words, Hilliard activated his phone to discover several messages from Lucinda.
