Regret

My husband’s family has a tradition of couples living apart together, and he can't publicly acknowledge our relationship until a son is born. He forces me to respect his family's traditions and tells me to raise our daughter alone. Six years after we got married, Andrew Sonovan inherits everything his late brother left behind, including his widow, Kasey Jordan. To satisfy his family's demands for him to carry on both lines, he sleeps with Kasey time and time again. Then, he holds me in his arms. "I can have a proper wedding with you once Kasey gets pregnant and carries on my brother's line. Hold on for a bit longer…" However, all I get is the news of him marrying Kasey. "Marry me, Kasey! I'll make you the happiest woman in the world!" I watch as Andrew gets on one knee in the glow of the flickering candlelight. He looks at Kasey lovingly as he proposes. Meanwhile, she rubs her baby bump, looking blissful. My daughter and I stand outside the room and witness their happiness. It's only then do I understand that I'm the only one who's been in the dark for the past six years.

Chapter 1
After returning from the Sonovan family's residence, my daughter, Molly Sonovan, considerately went back to her room.Through the crack of the door, I saw her curled up under the blanket, small and trembling. I felt like my heart was being cut by a knife.I wearily called my parents who were abroad and agreed to their request for me to immigrate. "Dad, Mom, I've thought it through."In a week, Molly and I would leave this place. And that day also happened to be the tenth anniversary of my meeting with Andrew Sonovan.I sat alone in the living room all night, crying until I had no more tears left.The living room light turned on with a snap. Andrew walked over quickly and pulled me into his arms."Why didn't you wait for me in the bedroom? It's cold here. Be careful not to catch a cold."Instinctively, I pulled away from his embrace. He froze for a moment, then chuckled softly."You really have a sharp nose. You can even smell it even when someone else smokes."I hated the smel

The next morning, Molly sat in the living room, obediently waiting for Andrew. But just like before, he didn't show up at all.To cheer Molly up, I took her to the amusement park, and we played all day. But she wasn't happy. She kept glancing toward the park's entrance.I knew, just like me, she was waiting for someone who wouldn't show up.In the evening, I carried my sleeping daughter back home. But to my surprise, as soon as we reached the doorsteps, someone insisted on taking us to the Sonovan family's residence."Is there something you need?"It was the first time in six years I had seen Andrew's mother, Erica Hull.Erica merely shot me a cold glance before saying haughtily, "Huh, as expected from someone of low birth—you have no manners at all. Don't you even know how to greet your elders when you see them?"I knew that in the eyes of the Sonovan family, I was nothing more than an ordinary country girl. Their family was wealthy and powerful, so of course, I must have been

I glared at Andrew."That's my house! Who gave you the right to give it to someone else?"Kasey leaned weakly into Andrew's embrace, and he instinctively wrapped his arm around her, gently supporting her slightly rounded belly. This child, even before being born, already had 100% of his father's love.But what about Molly? From the day we learned of her existence, Andrew had never shown up. It turned out the signs were there all along.Andrew hesitated, but seeing the misty tears in Kasey's eyes, he gritted his teeth and spoke up. "It's just for a few months until the baby is born."But my grandmother, Tanya Cohen, had left the house to me. At that time, Andrew had knelt beside Grandma's sickbed, gripping my hand tightly, promising that he would love me for life.Oh, well.I pinched my fingers, trying my best to keep my emotions in check."If you want to live there, fine. I'll sell it to you for three million dollars."Kasey's smile froze.I turned around without even looking

The old courtyard house Grandma left me was in Cloudalis.I let out a sigh of relief. Andrew hadn't forgotten at all—he just wanted to make it up to Molly. "Molly, Daddy's waiting for us at your great-grandma's place."Molly jumped with excitement, proudly announcing to the kids around her."My daddy's waiting for me!"I hurriedly took Molly to Cloudalis.But as soon as we reached the house, I noticed something was wrong—why were there so many luxury cars parked outside?When we walked in, I saw that one side of the wall had been knocked down. A gold champagne tower stood in the yard, and everything had been decorated grandly. Yet, none of it had anything to do with what Molly liked.Still, Molly was overjoyed. She kept shouting "Daddy" as she sprinted inside. Before I could stop her, she had already thrown herself into Andrew's embrace and wrapped her tiny arms around his legs."Daddy, I've missed you so much!"Andrew's expression stiffened, and he instinctively pushed Moll

With a crash, the champagne tower shattered into pieces.The guests around us gasped and quickly stepped back.Andrew was only focused on protecting Kasey and the baby in her belly. He looked at me with disappointment.Molly let out a wail and clung to my neck. Only in my embrace could my precious daughter release all the frustration she had been holding inside.I patted Molly's back, my gaze icy as I looked at Andrew."This is my private property. You've occupied my yard without my consent, and I'll definitely call the police to get justice!"But to my surprise, Andrew knocked my phone out of my hand.He lowered his voice and warned me, "Don't cause a scene here, Mia. Today's really important to me, so just bear with it for now."He gripped my wrist tightly and tried to pull me into the house. But unexpectedly, Kasey stepped in front of me and glared at me venomously."Andrew, she has ruined our special day! I want her to kneel and apologize!"Andrew didn't dare to lay a han

Chapter 6
Ignoring everything, Andrew rushed out of the banquet hall and drove toward the airport.All the way there, he kept calling my phone again and again. But unfortunately, he never managed to get through.He slammed his foot down on the gas pedal, and the car sped down the road.All the billboards along the road were plastered with photos of him and Kasey in their wedding attire. His expression shifted.The wedding date printed beneath the photos was February 22nd—the tenth anniversary of the day we first met.It had always felt like fate, and Andrew used to joke that it was a sign we were meant to spend our lives together.A sliver of fear crept into his heart. He knew how much he had put me through over the years and had initially planned to make it up to me once everything was settled.We had already spent ten years together, and he wanted another ten. But he had forgotten that I had once told him I could accept everything about him when I was in love with him. This included his

The news of the cancellation of the engagement between Andrew and Kasey sent the Sonovan family into a frenzy.However, Andrew ignored them all. He locked himself in his family's ancestral home.He made call after call, but my phone was still turned off.Left without a choice, he resorted to asking his friends to search for any news about me.During the rest of the time, he kept replaying my voice messages over and over again. We used to talk about everything. But eventually, it became a one-sided conversation, and later, even that had dwindled to nothing more than routine greetings.This shift had begun about half a year ago. It was around that time that his younger brother, Harry Sonovan, passed away unexpectedly. To comfort his sister-in-law, Kasey Jordan, and to maintain the relationship between her family and his, he started seeing her and promised to have a child with her.Kasey had once been his childhood neighbor, and they had many things in common. Gradually, he shifted

"Incorrect passcode."After entering the passcode three times, the lock was disabled.Andrew frowned and kicked the door hard.Mia had gone too far this time. How could she change the passcode without telling him?Andrew still didn't believe that I had left. After all, in his eyes, I was just a homeless orphan."She must have gone to complain to her grandma again."Andrew called a cab and headed to Cloudalis.Sure enough! The courtyard house was brightly lit. His pace quickened, almost to the point where he couldn't control his steps.But to his surprise, inside there was only a team of demolition workers."Who sent you here? Who told you to tear down the house?"Kasey, who was overseeing the demolition, immediately ran over and hugged his waist pitifully."Andrew, I was the one who asked them to come. Didn't you promise me that you would give me this land as compensation?"Andrew's expression changed, and he took a step back. "When did I ever say you could tear down the ho

After reuniting with my parents, Molly quickly warmed up to her grandparents. It was her first time meeting them.I wasn't actually an orphan. It was just that my parents worked abroad for most of my life, so Grandma raised me.Once I landed, I switched to a new phone number. Although I didn't keep up with the news from home, I still came across news reports about the Sonovan and Jordan families."Rumours swirl about the breakdown of the marriage alliance between the Sonovan and Jordan families, with Kasey Jordan reportedly seeking medical treatment late at night.""Head of the Sonovan family announces the termination of cooperation, sparking speculation of a relationship crisis."The comments below unexpectedly dragged me into this."I heard that the Sonovan and Jordan families were planning to open a resort together. But at the signing ceremony, Mr. Sonovan's mistress showed up with their illegitimate daughter.""That mistress really has no shame! They were about to get marrie

"Molly, it's Daddy! Come here. Let me give you a hug, okay?"The disheveled Andrew reached out his hand, but Molly immediately turned pale in the face. She quickly hid behind Dad.I exhaled slowly, then walked over to Dad and patted him on the back. He looked like he was ready to charge at Andrew any second."Dad, why don't you take Molly back first?" I said."Dad? Mia, aren't you an orphan?" Andrew looked at me in disbelief.Our neighbor, who had long heard about my troubles with Andrew, stood at the door with a broom.She spat at Andrew and said, "Mia's parents are perfectly fine, you scoundrel! You thought Mia was an orphan, so you could bully her however you wanted? From the looks of it, you're destined to be alone forever. You don't deserve Mia at all!"Andrew's expression darkened at the neighbor's scolding. He looked at me intently and demanded, "Why did you lie to me? Mia, I loved you so much—how could you lie to me?"Unable to hold back any longer, I slapped him across
