Chapter 438

• No one really knows what my mother-in-law does exactly, and Jace rarely talks about it. I don’t ask. All I know is she’s a tough, career-driven woman—basically a boss at a top state-owned company, juggling several roles. Not your average business type.
• Thinking about that, I feel like Jace and I won’t last long.
• Sure, I’ve got a job, and I’m not short on cash. But compared to Jace, the gap is huge. A man like him will marry someone from the same world. And her record will be spotless. There’s no way it’ll be a divorced woman like me.
