Report
Steven Zimmer, the assistant of my wife, Lucy Quinn, has lost in a truth-or-dare session. Lucy doesn't hesitate to file for a divorce from me for the ninth time. In the courthouse, I hear the staff member asking Lucy curiously, "Your husband is like a well-trained dog now. You've already married and divorced him nine times! Aren't you worried that your husband might ditch you for real?" Lucy merely smirks at her. "Do you know that the more ruthless you are when you abandon your pets, the harder it'll be for them to live without you? In fact, they will just become more obedient and docile. As long as I curl a finger at him, he'll definitely sink down to his knees and beg me to remarry him." Everyone bursts into laughter after that. They bet that I'll plead pathetically to Lucy to remarry me for the tenth time in less than a day after I've obtained the divorce certificate. Lucy even declares that she'll stream the tenth wedding proposal on the Internet when it happens. But the next day, Lucy keeps waiting for me to show up at the city hall while clad in a wedding dress. All she gets is a text from me. "No more proposals. This is the end between us, Lucy."

Lucy looked so different from before that I almost didn't recognize her. Her face was pale and gaunt, and her frame so thin it looked fragile.It was only when she lifted her frail arms to stop me and called my name that I finally recognized this former wife of mine.When Lucy saw me, a faint glimmer appeared in her sunken eyes. "Zack, are you here to see me?"I shook my head, straightforward as always.The light in her eyes dimmed instantly, but she quickly recovered and looked at me anxiously. "Why are you at the hospital, then? Did you get sick? Are you alright?"I held up the medical report in my hand and pointed at it. "My wife is pregnant. I'm here with her for a checkup."Lucy froze for a moment, and then she teared up. "Zack, can you stay and talk to me for a bit?"As if afraid I'd refuse, she pleaded, "Just a little while."We sat down together, and for a moment, neither of us knew what to say. Silence stretched between us.She studied me for a long time before saying

Not hearing the answer she wanted, Lucy pleaded again, "Zack, can you forgive me? As long as you're willing to forgive me, I can propose ten times, a hundred times if I have to. I don't care."Her love had come far too late."Lucy, if this were the old me, maybe I would've been glad to hear you say that," I said. "But I can't anymore. Day after day of your games wore me down, and I don't have any love left to give you. We're never ever getting back together."She broke down completely, crying so hard she could barely breathe. It was obvious she truly regretted it, but it was too late.In the end, Lucy left, drained and defeated.I had just turned around when I bumped into my neighbor, Yvonne Brown.She didn't even flinch, smirking as if eavesdropping wasn't a problem. "I didn't think you were this irresistible, Chubs. Looks like your ex still hasn't gotten over you."Yvonne was my neighbor and my childhood friend. We had grown up together.Back in middle school, stress from sch

Lucy borrowed a phone and ordered her subordinate to bring Steven to the city hall to register the marriage.The subordinate hesitated. "Ms. Quinn, Mr. Zimmer's condition still isn't stable. I'm afraid he can't make it in person—"Lucy's voice turned icy. "He's the one who drove Zack away. This mess is his doing. As long as he's still breathing, drag him here if you have to. He's signing those papers!"By the time Lucy finished registering the marriage with a barely conscious Steven and somehow dealt with the reporters outside, she was completely drained.Just then, her secretary called, panic evident in her voice. "Ms. Quinn! The news online is seriously damaging our company's reputation. Our stock price has dropped sharply. Many of our clients are demanding to terminate their contracts. How should we handle this?"Lucy replied wearily, "Do I have to handle everything myself? Find whoever was responsible for those contracts. Do I have to spell it out every time?"The secretary s

"Lucy, are you okay?" I asked, confused. Lucy gritted her teeth. "I agreed to your proposal yesterday! And now you're nowhere to be found! You know what? I might just change my mind and not marry you!"I couldn't help but laugh, cold and sharp. "Proposal? Did I propose? Lucy, you're still living in your own fantasy. I made it clear, didn't I? I already proposed to you nine times, so I don't owe you anything anymore."After our ninth divorce, I never planned to remarry you. Falling for you three years ago was the biggest mistake I ever made!"Lucy could hardly believe what she was hearing. Her hands shook so violently she nearly dropped the phone. "No… Zack, you're lying, right? We said this divorce was temporary."Her voice cracked. "The game is over, and we're getting married today! You're still upset about Steven, aren't you? I'll fire him right now. I swear I'll cut all ties with him. Come back to me, okay?""Lucy, why should I bend for you again and again?" I asked, my tone
