She's Too Busy Winning to Watch Him Cry novel Chapter 608

Lyra didn't say a word.

They had ended up divorcing in her past life, and it was highly likely they were headed down that same road again. It was best not to make promises they couldn't keep.

Thankfully, they arrived at Blackwood Manor shortly after.

Without a second of hesitation, Lyra pushed the car door open and stepped out. She gave a nonchalant wave to the man still sitting inside as a parting gesture.

Rowan genuinely had a packed afternoon ahead of him, with a mountain of paperwork waiting on his desk. He needed to get back to the office.

Lyra entered the house alone. She walked down the hallway to the master bedroom, grabbed some loungewear from the walk-in closet, and headed into the bathroom for a relaxing, hot shower.

She planned to flip through one of her pregnancy books for a bit before taking a nap.

But when she walked out, wrapped in her soft pajamas, she was shocked to see Rowan still there.

He had shed his suit jacket and was now standing by the bay window in his crisp white shirt, the top two buttons undone.

Hearing the door open, Rowan turned around. His gaze swept over the soft curves hinted at beneath her thin loungewear, and his eyes instinctively softened.

"My meetings were pushed back," he offered, answering the silent question in her eyes as he slowly walked toward her.

Lyra instinctively took a half-step back, the dark shadow of her past life creeping into her mind.

Kayla paused, clearly surprised by the request.

Waylon was the most illustrious alumnus in the university's history. At a young age, he had firmly established his empire in Seaborne City, controlling multiple tech startups. He was a beacon of academic and commercial success—a role model for thousands of students and someone intimately connected to the city's elite circles.

"You want me to escort him?" Kayla asked, hesitating.

The president smiled and nodded. "First off, you're organized and professional. You know the protocols and the campus layout perfectly. Second, you're the daughter-in-law of the Fairchild family. With your status, having you greet him feels appropriate rather than looking like we're just trying to suck up to him. Waylon isn't just here to give a speech; he's also touring the new tech labs. We need a dedicated guide for the entire process."

Unable to turn him down on the spot, Kayla agreed to the assignment.
