Sarah lifted her head, her eyes meeting the man who had just bumped into her table.

"It is okay," she muttered while wiping the spilled coffee with a paper napkin.

Her heart was still a mess after her visit to the Langford family house, but the man gave her a warm smile that made her feel a little calmer.

"I am really sorry, I was careless," he said again, his voice deep and warm.

He pulled the chair in front of her without waiting for an invitation. "May I sit here? This place is very crowded today."

Sarah hesitated for a moment. It had been so long since she talked to a stranger like this. Ronan always watched every step she took, and the Vexler family treated her like a wife who had to stay silent at home.

But today, after all the humiliation from her own family, why not?

"Please," she answered softly.

The man sat down and placed his cup of coffee on the table. "My name is Alex."

"And you?" Alex asked.

"Sarah," she replied shortly, not wanting to share too much.

  • After Divorcing Me, He Went Broke!   Chapter 7: A Man

    That morning, sunlight slipped through the gaps of the thick curtains in the Langford residence.Sarah stood in front of the large oak door, her hand hovering hesitantly over the brass knocker.It had been six years since she last set foot here.Six years since her family threw her out for marrying Ronan Vexler, a “common man” in their eyes, even though he was a billionaire.For the Langford family, noble blood was everything, and money without a title was nothing but cheap arrogance.Sarah finally knocked. The sound echoed through the grand house, a place that once felt like home but now felt like a fortress that judged her.She had spent the night in a cheap motel on the edge of town, simply because she needed air, needed space to breathe. But the later it got, the stronger the urge grew to visit her family, not to apologize, but to remind herself who she was before Ronan destroyed her.The door opened.A butler she did not recognize stared at her with wide eyes. "Miss… Langford?""

  • After Divorcing Me, He Went Broke!   Chapter 6: She Didn't Come Home

    Three days after their big fight, Ronan had gone abroad with his daughter and Mia for a short vacation. Now, he was back. He called one of the housemaids, Hanosa. “Where is Sarah?” he asked flatly while taking off his coat. “Is she in her room? Ask her when I can come in.” Hanosa lowered her head politely before answering carefully. “I’m sorry, Sir. Madam Sarah hasn’t returned yet. She left this morning. Maybe she’ll be home soon.” Ronan only nodded. After the maid left, Ronan walked toward Sarah’s room. After sleeping with Mia at her apartment, he planned to do the same with Sarah tonight. But now, he lay on Sarah’s bed, watching an adult video he had filmed with Mia. His reason was simple—he could never get aroused by his wife anymore. So he started to foreplay himself while waiting for her. But an hour passed. The clock on the wall showed eleven at night, and Ronan was still sitting on the edge of Sarah’s bed with a dark expression. He frowned and stared at

  • After Divorcing Me, He Went Broke!   Chapter 5: She's Swear...

    "WHY NO?!"Sarah's voice cracked as tears streamed down her face. Her chest rose and fell rapidly, her eyes red, filled with pain and despair.She looked at Ronan, silently begging him to understand.But instead of comforting her, Ronan shouted furiously, "Don't ask me why! Remember, you haven't even given me a son!"Sarah froze. Those words pierced through her heart like a blade.Ronan stepped closer, his tone sharper than before. "You disappointed my family five years ago. We were waiting for a male heir from your womb, but all you gave us was a daughter!""All I need is one thing, Sarah. A son to carry the Vexler name! You know that!"Sarah dropped to her knees, her body trembling. She wrapped her arms around herself as if trying to protect the last piece of her dignity."If I divorce you now, you'll live alone and end up poor!" he spat coldly. "Don't forget, you were disowned by the Langford family because you married me! You chose this path, so they won’t ever help you again.""N

  • After Divorcing Me, He Went Broke!   Chapter 4: Let's Get a Divorce!

    That night, after Shenina’s birthday party ended, the Vexler residence finally grew quiet again. The guests had left, and the maids were busy cleaning up the remaining balloons, plates, and colorful ribbons scattered around the backyard. Sarah stayed until the very end of the event. She smiled, thanked each guest who said goodbye, and pretended not to see every time Mia walked beside Ronan, chatting warmly with the rest of the Vexler family. Inside Sarah's chest, the pain tightened, but she held it in. She had caused enough trouble earlier that day, and she didn’t want to make things worse by showing her sadness in front of everyone. All day long, Sarah tried to appear strong. She even helped the younger maids gather the presents, tidy up the cake table, and make sure all the children went home with their goodie bags. But every time her gaze accidentally met Mia’s, who was laughing softly in the living room with Madam Vexler and Miranda, Sarah’s chest grew heavier. In six years

Servants moved back and forth, carrying decorations, cakes, and gift boxes for the children invited to the party.Sarah stood in the middle of the grand hall that had been transformed into a garden-like venue.As a graduate of a prestigious design academy in Europe, Sarah had personally arranged all the decorations for the day—from the balloon arches and the Barbie Dreamland backdrop to the three-tier pastel cake she had carefully designed for weeks.She made it all with love for her daughter.
