Chapter 7

Penulis: Rain
I paused, my mind drifting to the calm, rational man from my memories.

I was an orphan, raised in an orphanage since childhood. From a young age, I was fiercely competitive.

To earn the confidence that comes with independence, I studied with everything I had and successfully got into the best university in Harpley City. I majored in its top program.

In my sophomore year, I joined my professor's research team, even though I was nothing more than a general helper.

  • I Regret Ever Loving You   Chapter 10

    Hugo's expression softened slightly, though his face was still tight with discomfort.The apartment was barely forty square meters to begin with, and I had stacked it high with books, making it feel even smaller.He sat reluctantly on the small sofa, probably the first time in his thirty-plus years that he'd felt so awkward.He picked up a random book and flipped through it, pausing in surprise."I thought you'd lost interest in these a long time ago."I took a bottle of milk from the fridge, warmed it, and handed it to Avery."All right, we've seen each other. There's nothing more to do, so you can take Avery home now."Avery clutched the bottle, glancing uncertainly at Hugo.He lifted Avery onto his lap, speaking softly, "Mia, can't we ever go back to how things were?""How things were?" I leaned back lazily on the sofa. "Keep being your fake wife in title only? Forget it. I'm tired of it."Avery seemed to understand our conversation."Mommy, I was wrong. You should go hom

    "Mia! Are you done making a scene? If there's something you're unhappy about, just say it. I'll change. Isn't that enough?"It was the first time Hugo had ever lowered his head. Steve's eyes went wide in shock.But inside, I felt nothing at all.I politely asked him to step aside and prepared to leave. Hugo reached out and grabbed my hand."Mia, come home with me."Before I could speak, a hand suddenly reached out from behind me and yanked his grip away."Sir, please show some respect."Dexter was holding a coat. His expression was cold as he pulled Hugo off me."Who the hell are you?"Hugo's eyes instantly bloodshot, he spun around, ready to swing.I sighed and stepped in front of Dexter."Stop it."The light, effortless word was like hitting a pause button.Hugo froze, staring at me in disbelief."Mia, you're taking his side? Who is he?"I lifted my gaze and met his bloodshot eyes head-on."Does it matter? Hugo, we've already broken up."Hugo's lips moved as if he wa

    "Every day, you'd trot along behind them, asking this and that. Back then, I thought to myself: this girl is definitely going places."The professor stopped there. I lowered my eyes and quietly took a sip of my drink.After the dinner ended, I didn't rush to leave. When most people had gone, I pulled my notebook from my bag."Professor, I want to start studying again."He looked startled, took the notebook, and flipped through it carefully for a long time. When he finally set it down, his face was lit with a broad smile."Mia, I knew I wasn't wrong about you. I've read your notes. They're very forward-looking. When I get home tonight, I'll think it over and recommend a few good research institutions. You can try interviewing with them."Just then, Dexter suddenly spoke up."May I take a look?"It was the first time he had spoken to me all evening.I nodded and handed him the notebook. Dexter pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, his expression serious."Are you inter

I majored in its top program.In my sophomore year, I joined my professor's research team, even though I was nothing more than a general helper.Dexter Morley was a senior and the backbone of that research group. Once upon a time, he was also the object of my quiet crush.Unfortunately, in my junior year, he went abroad to study. I never had the chance to confess to him.Hearing my silence, my professor continued, "Back then, I had the highest hopes for you and Dexter. You two were the best students I ever mentored. It's a pity. You got married right after graduating."There was nothing but regret in his voice.I pressed my lips together, a trace of discomfort s

    Only that day, the sun came out. The sky was a clear, brilliant blue, the breeze gentle and warm—just like my mood.An indescribable joy and excitement filled my heart.I arrived at the Hudson family estate early in the morning and waited a full three hoursbefore someone finally came out to open the door.When the butler saw me, his expression was far from pleasant. But I didn't care. At the time, my entire mind was occupied by the child I was about to see.Inside the main hall, I waited again—no idea for how long. It wasn't until the clock struck twelve that Hugo's mother appeared, holding three-year-old Avery in her arms.The moment I saw his soft, childish face, my eyes reddened instantly. This was the child I had endured humiliation for, just to keep him safe. The child who had been taken from me the moment he was born.Hugo's mother, upon seeing me, mocked me as usual."If it weren't for Hugo speaking up, I'd never let a poor, unlucky woman like you see my grandson.

    "Mia! Open the door!" Hugo's irritable voice rang out from outside. I jumped in surprise."Mia! If you've got the nerve to break up with me, say it to my face! Open up!"I sighed, not rushing to answer. Instead, I went to change into something comfortable and warm.When I opened the door, Hugo wasn't wearing a coat.It was March, and Harpley City still carried a biting chill, yet Hugo seemed completely unaffected."Come in."I stepped aside slightly and sat down calmly on the sofa.After so many years of "marriage", Hugo had long since worn me down into someone who could take both favor and insult without flinching.Hugo didn't sit. Under the light, his tall figure loomed like a shadow, completely enveloping me."Mia, who gave you the nerve to divorce me?"He stared at me, his gaze burning with anger.I, on the other hand, looked at him strangely, almost at a loss for words."It's not the first time I've asked for a divorce. Does saying this even mean anything? Hugo, do y
