(Leo's POV)"How did things turn out like this? Why am I the last person to know?!" I asked Alva very angrily.But Alva told me, "Leo, you've always hated Flora and Ada so much in the past, so I thought you wouldn't be so interested in this matter. Besides, I just learned about this news from Cody. He also told me that after all this, Flora doesn't care about you anymore…."After listening to Alva's words, my heart was full of remorse. Yes… I guess I was the one who made Ada like this… After three years of marriage, I never even went home, nor have I ever seen Flora and Ada once! People thought that I didn't care about Ada's life or death at all. That's why they wouldn't even bother telling me of her death. I didn't even notice that last night, my mother was in the same hospital as her… it was my negligence and fault led to this result!"Leo, don't worry about it too much. I know you will eventually find a way to deal with this and find your closure…." Alva comforted me carefully. But
(Abbi's POV)After Caitlyn Christian calmed down a little, I took her to the garden to comfort her, and after a few words of comfort, she urged me to do something to Flora again. Have I become her personal assassin at this point? Although I did say before about my plan to attack Flora, it was only a verbal attack. I would never think of inflicting physical harm on her! I didn't even know where Flora lived at the moment. She blocked my contact, and we're not friends anymore.At the moment, I could only agree with Caitlyn Christian and continued to soothe her heart, which was going crazy. But what I didn't expect was that Leo actually heard our conversation. He also warned me, "Listen, I don't care what you're planning, but I warn you, don't touch Flora! Otherwise, I'll make your life miserable!"I couldn't help it. I had been suppressed for too long, and I didn't want to be regarded as a bad person in front of Leo. So, I said angrily, "What about Ada? Ada is dead. Don't you want to do
(Flora's POV)For the first time, I didn't back down or be weak in front of Leo but stuck to my own ideas and practices. I told him that I must get a divorce. I was reminded of his mother killing my mother as soon as I saw him. I could no longer face him calmly. He was my enemy and would only be that way. I couldn't love him anymore.Alva came to see me off when I left the AM Group building.He opened his mouth in the elFlorator with just the two of us. He said, "Flora, I know you're uncomfortable right now, but I think, when you calm down a bit, just talk to Leo about your relationship, okay?""Am I talking to him about divorce for the first time today? I've been talking about it all the time. It's just that I was too talkative before, so I just held it off. Now, I don't care about anything. The person I care about most has died in the hospital bed, in the endless guilt of my marriage.""I'm sorry, Flora, but I want to tell you that Leo really cares about you and loves you very much.
(Flora's POV)I looked at Mable Bell in disbelief before me and asked her, "What are you talking about?""I made it very clear that you are too weak and had to learn some lessons to understand that there must be death between you and Leo. I did not do things about your mother. I just didn't stop them.""Mable Bell, I've always regarded you as a friend! But you... don't tell me these things!" I didn't expect she would do such a thing behind my back.She said with a smile, "That's because you're too naive, Flora. Even a friend has secrets, right? Your relationship with Leo was going so well that you're buying rings without telling me, right? Now that I'm frankly telling you the truth, you don't really think that I'm going to get revenge on Leo? Besides, isn't the reason why you agreed to live here because you want Leo to keep an eye on me?"I was stunned when I heard that. Indeed, Mable Bell was right. I didn't want to live here before because I didn't want to get so close to George. Bu
(Flora's POV)For some reason, I actually fell asleep with Iggy in my arms. A knock on the door woke me up. I rubbed my red and swollen eyes from crying and found a pair of sunglasses at home to put on before I dared to open the door. When I opened the door, I saw that it was already dark, and the person outside the door was George."Flora, I didn't want to disturb you today, but I saw that the light in your room was always on. I was a little worried about you, so I came over. Are you okay?"Hearing what George said, I took out my phone and checked the time. I then realized that it was already 1 a.m. "Ah, I just fell asleep with Iggy in my arms and woke up when I heard you knock on the door. I'm fine. I feel better after I sleep. Sorry for worrying you," I said."It's okay. I can't sleep anyway, so have you taken Iggy for a walk today?" As soon as he finished speaking, Iggy ran to the door and looked at him expectantly. "It looks like you haven't," he said with a smile."Are you going
(Abbi's POV)Leo agreed to have dinner with Caitlyn Christian. With them, I went to Leo's house to help. I was entering Leo's home, and seeing the exquisite decoration with various luxurious handicraft furniture in the room dazzled my eyes.Leo seemed to notice my stare and asked in dissatisfaction, "What is she doing here?"I was speechless for a while. I knew that he was very upset with me now."I like the mushroom soup that Abbi Miller made last time. It's delicious, so I want to drink it again. Leo, do you want to drink it?""No need."Fortunately, Caitlyn Christian helped me out. I went into the kitchen, making soup for Caitlyn Christian and preparing wine.At this point, Caitlyn Christian entered the kitchen, handed me a packet of powdered items, and ordered a bottle of wine, implying that I had drugged the wine."How much?" I asked."All. Leo's physique is very special. You will know later." Caitlyn Christian smiled at me."So, you'll drink it, too? Will you be okay?" I couldn'
(Leo's POV)My head hurt. I woke up from a hangover with a terrible headache. I remembered Mom and I drank a lot last night together. She said sorry to me that she couldn't control her emotions and was also very flustered when Ada died. She said that she didn't want things to become like this.What could I do to respond to that? Of course, having a drink with her. Just as I was recalling, Abbi Miller pushed in the door with breakfast. When she saw me, she asked, "Leo, are you awake?""Why are you at my house?" I asked her warily. There was no way I would allow this woman to join me and my mother for dinner."Caitlyn Christian called me to take care of you last night. Alva also came, then we went back together. In the morning, Caitlyn Christian called me again, so I came over," Abbi Miller said, her tone a little regretful.I had a habit of drinking. That was, I would call Alva and end it later. I was thankful for this good habit of mine. Besides, this woman was bad news. Unfortunately
(Flora's POV)The day before my mother's funeral, someone called me. I answered the call with suspicion in my heart, "Hello, who is this?"It turned out the person on the other end was Abbi Miller. That evil woman said, "It's me, Abbi Miller. Leo has agreed to sign the divorce paper. It's with me now. When can you come over to sign it?" The moment I heard it, my mind instantly went blank. Did Leo sign the paper? That man was truly a good actor. It seemed as if he could switch from time to time. He would always show his unwillingness to divorce me every time he was before me. Yet, he eventually signed the paper after days passed. Obviously, his company was still his most important thing, huh? For him, our marriage was nothing compared to money and power, right? In fact, it had always been the case.I cleared up my mixed feelings and told Abbi Miller, "I can sign now, and in an hour, I'll see you at the airport café.""Okay," Abbi Miller agreed.Actually, my place was far from the air
