Chapter 1

I had just reached home when I heard a loud noise.

Ivy Anderson was standing in the middle of a mess of porcelain shards, and she immediately teared up when she saw me.

She then cried and threw herself into Liam White’s embrace.

“I didn’t mean to drop it, but Olivia looked so angry. She looked like an old witch…

“I got scared.”

The item she dropped was the first present Liam had bought me.

It was a porcelain doll that he personally crafted for me.

Liam caressed Ivy’s hair comfortingly with loving eyes. He used to dote on me like that.

“Don’t worry. It’s just a doll. I’ll smash it with you.”

He bent down, picked up the doll’s head, and smashed it forcefully against the floor.

The porcelain shards smashed into smaller pieces.

The doll was unsalvageable.

Ivy was delighted as she clapped and laughed.

My hands started to tremble.

Back then, when he gave this doll to me, Liam pinched my face with a smug expression.

“This is the first time I’ve made something like this for a woman I’m seeing.

“I’ll break up with you if anything happens to this doll!”

However, he was the one who ended up breaking it.

I expected this of him, though. After all, he was willing to sacrifice our child just to make Ivy smile.

I grimaced and started to sweep the pieces away with a broom.

Suddenly, Ivy coughed.

Liam asked anxiously, “Are you alright? Did you hurt your throat from all the crying?

“Olivia, you made Ivy cry! Hurry up and make her a cup of her favorite mango juice.”

I paused in disbelief.

“Have you forgotten that I’m allergic to mango?”

Liam’s expression froze. He did not dare to look at me out of guilt.

Then he turned his attention to the beautiful woman in his arms as they flirted with each other.

I swept the pieces away and tossed them into the trash along with the last bit of longing in my heart.

At the same time, I heard Ivy’s sugary sweet voice.

“I’ll head off first. Wait for me in the hotel tomorrow. It’s the same one as last night.”

Liam glanced at me subconsciously.

He explained stiffly, “Ivy and I are lifelong friends. I’m just catching up with her. Don’t overthink it.”

I did not bother to expose his lies.

I pretended that I did not see the hickeys on his neck.

Ivy waved goodbye to Liam shyly.

I immediately noticed the bracelet around her wrist.

Three years ago, Liam got involved in a car accident because he was trying to protect me. As a result, he ended up in a coma.

I searched high and low for a good luck charm. After a difficult period of searching, I finally bought that bracelet.

After Liam woke up, he teared up from my gesture. He pulled me into a tight hug.

“I’ll wear this bracelet forever, and we’ll never be apart!”

However, he had gifted that bracelet to another person.

I turned away from them as he lovingly bid goodbye to Ivy. I turned around and went to the master bedroom to pack my bags for my overseas trip.

However, when I entered the room, I immediately saw that the photo of Liam and me had disappeared from the wall.

In its place was one of Ivy’s paintings.

It was the same painting shown on Liam’s phone screen saver.

It turned out that throughout the years when Ivy was away, Liam had never forgotten about her.

However, it had nothing to do with me anymore.

I switched on my phone and set a reminder for my flight.

Suddenly, a news article popped up in my phone’s notification bar.

[Liam White Appears on a Reality Dating Show, and It Seems Like He’ll Propose to Ivy Anderson Soon.]

In the video, Liam and Ivy were kissing passionately.

That was why he had not checked on me, though I had been hospitalized for an entire day due to my miscarriage.

It turned out that he was busy making out with Ivy.

I recalled last year when the paparazzi took photos of us on a trip.

In order to stay out of the public eye, he blocked me and gave me the silent treatment for a month.
