However, this good mood didn't last. At the end of the day, Clyde approached me, his expression grave.

e From now on, I'll only be with M Melanie, no more fooling around." "We're not getting a divorce. We'll manage the company well, I promise." Hearing him say this seemed to soften the old man's demeanor a bit. "You'd better stick to your word, or else, I'll make you wish I had!"
