Chapter 732 Help Me Choose A Ring
“I''ll not disturb you guys then. I''ll go check on Asel.”
Timothy knew the best resort for him was to leave, or else he might start insulting Hector, and Johanna
mighte to his defense.
Hector''s gaze followed Timothy as thetter walked out of the greenhouse. When he was gone, Hector
gave a wry chuckle. “When I heard he was your ex-husband, I thought I could ask you out for dinner
tonight and ask if you could give me a chance...”
However, he was not expecting Johanna''s ex-husband to be more handsome and richer than he was.
“Is there still a possibility for us?” he asked.
“Well, there are limitless opportunities for our work partnership, but getting together? I don''t think so.”
Johanna drew a clear-cut boundary between them.
“Is it because he''s wealthier?” he inquired, still refusing to give up.
“Hector, I rake in more than a hundred million annually from Renamarc. Even if I lead avish life, it''s
more than enough,” she answered with a smile. “You don''t know Timothy. He gets jealous easily, and
when he does, he can be really nasty. He would make sure other guys know who they are dealing with
if they get too close to me.”
Hector tried to recall their interaction from before. “I guess I should consider myself lucky then. He
didn''t do anything to me.”
After a while, he asked again, “Do you still love him?”
Johanna did not answer right away. She tidied up the design drafts and put them all in a file. “Well, I
didn''t agree to go to Petalgrove with you after I got a divorce. I stayed in the house he bought and
allowed him free rein toe to visit our daughter. What do you think?”
Hector understood what she meant, but when he looked up at her profile again, he still could not get
over her.
“If both of you don''t work out in the end, I hope you''ll still consider me.” Hector felt he should still make
onest push for what he wanted.
He really admired Johanna. She was a motivated and talented woman.
“I believe in him, and I believe in my choice of man,” she insisted with a glimmer of confidence in her
smile as she passed a document to Hector. “I''ll go have lunch with them first, then. See you around.”
Back in the house, the nanny was with Asel beside the floor-to-ceiling window. She was helping the
child with some baby exercises under the sun.
When the nanny saw Timothying in, she got up and greeted him.
It had been some time since Timothyst saw his daughter, which was back at the hospital. The baby
had grown a lot and now looked chubby and cute.
When she saw Timothy, she waved her limbs at him, giggling and babbling.
“She knows you''re her dad,” the nanny remarked, also smiling.
“Come here. Let me carry you,” Timothy cooed. He picked her up the way the people at the hospital
had taught him. When he brought her closer, a sweet-smelling scent of milk came rushing at him.
Asel seemed happy and burbled in his embrace.
Timothy pecked her across her clothes, knowing that it would be dangerous to kiss her directly as she
was still very young.
Then, he took many photos of his daughter. Looking at those pictures, he was reminded of how Lucian
and Amanda had not enjoyed thepany of their father over the past five years. He could imagine
how lonely and sad they must feel.
When he looked back at Asel, who was holding on to his finger, he said gently, “Asel, I love you so
much.”
He picked up one of the toys and yed with her for some time. Busy with work at thepany, he
had not been resting well recently. Eventually, he identally dozed off beside the stroller.

When Johanna came in after sending Hector off, she did not expect to walk in on Timothy sleeping
beside the child.
Asely quietly next to him without crying. When she saw her mother, her eyes curved into a crescent
shape happily.
Johanna went up to kiss her.
Then, she picked up the nket on the couch and spread it over Timothy. Suddenly, his phone in the
stroller lit up. He had a few unread messages on WhatsApp.
Charlotte had sent some images.
She said: Could you help me choose a ring?
