Oliver was a junior in college, and he did not act like a typical rich kid. He drove an ordinary car to school and even rode a bike sometimes.Our parents, aunts and uncles, and I would give him money each year during his birthday. Somehow, he managed to make that money last all year as his allowance.That was why he still did not have a girlfriend.To me, Oliver would always be a kid. Knowing that I was divorced, he felt uneasy and fell asleep hugging my arm. He almost pulled me off the bed. On my wedding day, he had told Zach that if he did not treat me well, he would beat him up.I ruffled Oliver’s hair and said, “Sometimes, certain promises don’t need to be kept.”After Oliver fell asleep, I covered him with a blanket and went to the balcony for some fresh air.Since Oliver already knew about my divorce, I believed that my parents would find out soon.It was better for them to know. I had not planned to keep it a secret for long, but I had no idea how to bring it up afte

Mrs. Zaffino gave me an awkward look. “I’m going to make Mr. Freeman some juice.”However, I kept teasing, “The most famous stylist gave me this haircut. He just came back from abroad. One snip from him costs what most people make in a month.”Mrs. Zaffino was shocked. “Tsk, tsk. I really don’t get his style. You’re lucky you’re pretty. If I got a haircut like this, I wouldn’t go out and let anyone see me.”Then, she leaned in and whispered, “Next time, don’t trust these ‘famous foreign stylists.’ They’re all scams!”I laughed so hard that I almost choked on my juice. I glanced at Zach, who was as calm as ever. He looked a little silly with a band-aid on his forehead.On the way to work, I dropped Oliver off at his college. “Cassia, did you and Zach fight last night? I noticed that he had a cut on his head. Did he cut your hair like that?” he asked.“I wouldn’t fight him. I wouldn’t win anyway.” I pushed Oliver out of the car. “Stop overthinking it and focus on your studies. One

“Rachel…” He had only uttered her name, but my heart dropped.Was Cecilia causing trouble again?That did not make sense. She knew that today was Zach and Cameron’s signing day. She would not do something foolish on such an important day.“What happened to Rachel?”“Cecilia took her to see her mom,” Cameron said through gritted teeth. Just then, Zach rushed over.We exchanged a quick glance, and Zach looked upset.We got into the car, and Zach immediately called Cecilia. “Where are you?”“Put it on speaker,” Cameron said concisely.Zach switched to speaker mode, and Cecilia’s excited voice came through. “Zach, guess where I am right now?”“Where?”“You won’t guess it! Zach, you have no idea how clever I am. I found Rachel’s mom! I know Cameron wants to find a stepmom for Rachel, and she doesn’t want that, so I brought Rachel to meet her mom.”I could not stand to listen anymore and started to sweat.What was wrong with this woman? Did she really think she was being clever?

When someone did not want to talk, I never pushed them to. They would speak when they were ready. If they did not want to share, it meant they were not ready to open up.Cameron finished his tequila, and he seemed fine. I turned to Sophie, and she quickly brought him another glass.When he almost finished his second glass, he finally spoke.“That woman we saw earlier is Rachel’s mom.”“Oh.” I nodded. “Rachel looks a lot like her, especially when it comes to her eyes.”“Her name is Scarlett York. I met her when she had just turned eighteen.” Cameron took a deep breath and leaned back on the couch.He held his drink and looked more relaxed.I was ready to listen since he wanted to talk.“I met her in West City, so I feel a special connection to this place.” He suddenly looked at me. “I think the girls from West City are all cute and precious.”I smiled back. I could hear how much he cared for Rachel’s mother. I wondered why he would not let Rachel meet her. There had to be a rea

“Answer it and put it on speaker.”Sophie pressed the speaker button while I kept kneading the dough. No wonder Sophie loved baking so much. Kneading the dough really helped to alleviate my stress.Cecilia’s weak voice came through the phone. “Cassia, what did you say to Cameron? Don’t you think you’ve gone too far? It’s fine if you hate me, but why did you mess up Zach and Cameron’s partnership? Do you know how much Zach cares about this project? He’s put all his time into it. Even though you and Zach are divorced—”Cecilia kept rambling, so Sophie leaned in and yelled into the phone, “Are you out of your mind, Cecilia?! Don’t try to shift the blame to Cassia! You know what you did!”“Don’t waste your breath.” I ended the call and left a white fingerprint on the screen.“Cecilia’s ridiculous. She knows what she did, yet she still blames you? Where does she get the nerve?”“We all know she’s shameless.” I was too used to Cecilia’s nonsense to get upset. “Looks like Cameron alread
