After being reborn, I make up my mind to stop chasing after my husband and daughter

Chapter 167

Jared wasn’t a fan of my snarky attitude. He lowered his voice and said, “You're her mom. What's so incomment

about that? Honestly, think you j don’t want to come”

| nodded. “I've got a ton of work, really don’t have the time. So, I'll have to ask you to spend more twith her

“It’s kind of awkward forto hang out with my daughter all the time, Luckily, Tracy’s on vacation and back in

Shaville. Yvonne's with her now. They went out to have sfun. I'm just stuck at the hotel handling work, Jared

explained

| blinked in surprise Jared had already brought up Tracy being in Shanville before | could even ask

“I know how your mind works. It's just easier to tell you straight, Jared said calmly.

“What a coincidence. You're in Shaville, and Tracy just happens to be back too. Did you two plan this or

something?” | said with a teasing grin.

“Victoria, don’t start . It really is just a coincidence,” Jared replied, his tone serious.

“Yeah, sure. How many coincidences do you think I'll buy? You think i'm stupid? Anyway, go ahead, have your

little family time. | really don’t care.” Honestly, | just hoped the three of them would stick together and leave me

out of it.

| hung up before Jared could say anything else. Aber half an hour of yoga, crammed sEnglysian. Next week,

| had to take my crew to Falansia to talk business.

By midnight, | was dead tired. Just as | was about to crash, | saw someone had senttwo photos.

It was Tracy. She'd snapped a couple shots of Yvonne passed out after a long day, and sent a message. Don’t

worry, Mrs. Holcomb. Yvonne was super well-behaved today, just tired out from all the fun.]

| just went to sleep. | figured Jared and Yvonne would be in Shaville for at least three days, but they cback

the very next afternoon.

Yvonne looked totally best, like a deflated balloon, kept insisting her legs were sore and wouldn’t stop asking me

to rub them. Jared cover after his meeting. | was rubbing Yvonne's legs with one hand while working on my

laptop with the other

Jared frowned, probably thinking | was halfrassing the whole parenting thing. He scooped up Yvonne, who was

half-asleep, and glanced at my laptop screen. “You're going to Falansia too?”

| nodded. “Yeah, | want to check out the quality myself.”

“Your Englysian sucks, and you've never even traveled. Forget it,” Jared said, shuttingdown without

hesitation.

Llooked up and met his gaze. “No, | am going, whether you like it or not.”

“I'm the boss here, and | won't allow it, Jared replied, his face burning serious.

1 glared at him, stubborn as ever. “You always say you wantto be free and support my career, but clearly,

that’s just lip service,” Jared's expression soured as | used his own words against him.

“I'm just worried something might happen to you if you go abroad,” he said.

“You travel the time, and you always cback just fine.” | shot back.

Jared bit his lip. “it’s different for men. And you're the kind of woman people worry about.” | couldn't believe how

ridiculous he sounded.

“You love admiring lowers, but you're scared to let them bloom in the sun. Jaged, is that really all you're capable

of?” | said, standing up.

Jared was left speechless by me. He just picked up Yvonne and walked out without another word. I didn’t care

whether Jared agreed or not. If the company didn’t cover my ticket, Id just buy it myself.

Tracy clearly expected five. She smiled warmly, “Mrs. Holcomb, do you have a favorite drink? | went ahead and

ordered you a latte. Hope that’s alright?”

“That's fine,” replied, settling into the seat across from her. Sunlight poured in, making Tracy look a bit pale, but

her eyes still sparkled with ambition and confidence.

“Enjoying your toff, Tracy?” | took a sip of the coffee she ordered and smiled, “Weren't you supposed to be

When she called him by his nso openly, | knew exactly what she was up to. She was laying her cards on the

table, staking her claim right in front of

me.

| kept my tone cool. “You think you really know my husband?”

Tracy met my gaze, a trace of jealousy flickering in her eyes. “know him better than you ever could. Do you

believe that?”

| didn’t say a word, just sipped my coffee in silence, watching her quietly.
