Too Late for Your Tears

Miles Gallagher and Sasha Bailey's wedding was held extravagantly. Political and business elites, as well as top celebrities, all went to celebrate. I was the only one who did not show up.I couldn't understand why such a trivial matter would end up trending. It was crazy. After all, who would attend the wedding of their ex-husband?Miles and I had a very awkward divorce. It wasn't a peaceful separation. The relationship between our families was almost torn apart.Although Miles and I were in a marriage of convenience, we were also childhood friends and high school sweethearts.We had always been in sync throughout our years of growing up together, yet we couldn't come to an agreement when it came to our divorce.Things eventually escalated into a massive fallout between the Gallaghers and the Coopers. We ended up becoming the laughingstock of Aynsville.Ultimately, neither of us managed to get custody of our son, Andy. He was raised jointly by my grandpa, Henry Cooper, and Mil

Miles turned around and was met with Sasha's gaze.I happened to be looking down at Andy. Someone had given him a diamond necklace, which he was about to stuff into his mouth.I hurriedly pulled it out of his mouth. "Don't put just anything into your mouth, Andy!"Miles regained his senses and pried open Andy's mouth. With our joint effort, we finally tossed the diamond necklace onto the banquet table. We then hurriedly took a crying Andy out.Sasha ran after us and pleaded with Miles, "I'll get scolded by my agent and the agency if I return without making a single sale tonight, Mr. Gallagher. Can you please help me out?"He turned to me and asked, "Do you like it?"I wasn't in the mood to think about it as I was busy with Andy. I replied perfunctorily, "The jewelry on her wrist is beautiful. I'll wear it during the summer if you buy it."I then crouched to cover Andy's mouth to stop him from crying loudly and slipped away to the rooftop.Miles took the waiter's signing pen and

Celebrities were products of entertainment agencies. It was all the more inevitable for a rising star like Sasha to attend business events and social gatherings.She found all these humiliating and would instinctively hide behind Miles whenever he was around during such events. Although he was surprised, he figured that there was no harm in backing her up.As Miles did not reject nor scold her, it gradually caused those in the industry to fear her. They assumed that he was the bigwig behind her.Sasha enjoyed the perks and frequently went over to the Gallagher residence to thank us. She was getting on my nerves.I told her outright, "If you genuinely appreciate my husband for helping you out, you should stop coming over to my house."Sasha replied, "There really is nothing between Mr. Gallagher and me, Ms. Cooper. I'm just worried that you might have misunderstood him, which may affect your marriage. He was just being nice. He just can't stand seeing me getting caught up in the co

Sasha rushed out and blocked my car. She fell to her knees and pleaded, "Don't be mad, Ms. Cooper. It's all my fault! I was the one who told Mr. Gallagher that I wanted to visit Andy. I was the one who caused the rift between the two of you!"I slammed on the horn. "Get out of my way!"Sasha remained unmoving.I started the car engine and threatened her, "Are you leaving or not? I'll run you over if not!"Sasha looked up gracefully and softly said, "Feel free to run me over if my death would calm you down, Ms. Cooper!"Furious, I slammed my fist against the steering wheel. The sharp honk echoed throughout the Gallagher residence. My heart ached with pain.Miles walked over to Sasha, picked her up, and returned to the Gallagher residence. He said, "You're getting increasingly out of control, Yvette. You're completely unreasonable and downright absurd."Fine. Let's get a divorce if that's what you want, but leave Andy with me. I'll find him an emotionally stable mother and not som

Sasha went on her knees in front of my car, just like how she did years ago.I was terrified of running over her and immediately hit the brakes. Andy was engrossed in his game console, and the abrupt braking caused him to bump his forehead, leaving it red.I hurriedly pulled him over. "I'm sorry! Let me blow the pain away for you."Sasha was bawling on the ground in front of my car. "I'm begging you not to destroy my family, Ms. Cooper. I've already lost a child. I don't want to lose Miles too!"This time, I did not lose control with the endless honking. I put the headphones on Andy, straightened his collar, and gently caressed his cheek. "You can continue with your game. I'll get out of the car and come back quickly, okay?"He reached to remove the headphones. He said determinedly, "I'm going too, Mommy!"I stopped him. "No. Don't. Just listen to me and continue with your game, okay?"I opened the car door, and for a moment, it felt like time and space had overlapped with the p
