Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau

Chapter 826: Chapter 417: Bold Hypothesis, Careful Verification (First Update)

"Since there’s nothing wrong with her, why did she suddenly resign?" Francis Johnson didn’t pay attention to Kenneth Osborne’s jealous complaints and asked with a smile.

Kenneth Osborne: "..."

His jealous mind started to calm down, and upon careful consideration, he realized there was indeed a contradiction.

"...Maybe she feels being a Heavenly Master is more appealing than a proper job at a reputable company?" Kenneth Osborne still couldn’t completely come to terms with Lawrence Winters’ obsession with the "Heavenly Master" career.

He frowned and continued speaking to Francis Johnson: "Actually, I don’t discriminate against the Heavenly Master profession. If she enjoys it, doing it part-time during her free time is understandable. It satisfies her hobbies and doesn’t interfere with her regular job."

"But quitting a decent job to fully commit to being a Heavenly Master... I really can’t understand it."

Francis Johnson didn’t want to demand Kenneth Osborne’s "understanding."

Because the depths of this matter involve fields that absolutely can’t be publicly discussed, so the fewer people who know, the better.

And Kenneth Osborne indeed doesn’t need to know.

Because he has his battlefield, and within his domain, his understanding is completely correct.

They don’t need him to understand Lawrence Winters’ "career choices" as it might confuse his worldview and negatively impact his career.

Francis Johnson once belonged to the Special Operations Division, and he has undergone special training, handled various matters, and experienced far more of life compared to Kenneth Osborne, who’s always been in the ivory tower.

He deeply understands that with so many people in the world, everyone is completely different.

Achieving a consensus while maintaining differences is already quite remarkable.

It’s just that the complex emotional factors between Kenneth Osborne and Lawrence Winters made things a mess.

He glanced at Kenneth Osborne with a smile, looked at his watch, and said, "The delivery should be here. Shall we eat first and then talk, or talk while eating?"

Kenneth Osborne said, "Just the two of us, does it make a difference whether we eat first and then talk or talk while eating?"

Francis Johnson laughed, "Alright, let’s talk while eating."

Just as he finished speaking, there was the sound of the doorbell from the company entrance — the food delivery had arrived.

Francis Johnson went to get the delivery. The two moved to the company’s pantry area, sat on high stools, and started eating while continuing their conversation.

Francis Johnson dished out the food onto the plate, added a few spoonfuls of broth, mixed it, and remarked, "Actually, if you think about it from a different angle, with your current financial prowess, even if Lawrence Winters doesn’t work and plays games all day, you can still support her, right?"

Kenneth Osborne: "..."

Francis Johnson observed his somewhat perplexed expression and found it even more amusing, "Never thought about it from this angle, huh? Kenneth, you’ve already achieved a social class leap. Is a proper job at a reputable company really that crucial for your wife? Why are you so hung up on her resignation?"

Kenneth Osborne snapped back to reality and quickly said, "It’s not that I’m hung up on her resignation. I’m hung up on her resigning without discussing it with me. We’re a couple... we were a couple... Decisions that affect major family interests ought to be discussed by both parties, right? Like with my parents; if one wants to resign, they would surely discuss it carefully, not just resign at will."

Francis Johnson nodded, "Yeah, so I wasn’t wrong. It’s still the same point: you’re bothered about her resigning without consulting you because, in your view, this is very important. But to her, it’s a minor thing. Different perspectives on the importance of things have caused your conflict."

"Kenneth, your financial prowess has already achieved a social class leap, but your mental habits haven’t."

"Subconsciously, you still consider yourself just an ordinary salaried worker, where work is critical for both parties. So if one side quits, it has a significant impact on the family’s finances, thus requiring careful consideration and mutual discussion before possibly resigning after securing a new job, doesn’t it?"

Kenneth Osborne’s brows gradually furrowed as he wanted to argue, but upon reflecting on his financial prowess, it seemed... probably... maybe... possibly... Lawrence Winters resigning really wasn’t that big of a deal.

"Understand now? You’re no longer just an ordinary salaried worker. Your income can be calculated in millions, tens of millions, or even billions."

"You’ve achieved financial freedom. Now, your work is for a great goal, so if you think openly, you can easily tell Lawrence Winters to do whatever she wants; if she doesn’t want to work, let her stay home—I’ll support you. — If you say so, wouldn’t she readily accept it?"
