"This was the kid you schemed so hard to get. You were the one who couldn't deliver a healthy baby, so why are you blaming me?"Colin turned his face away without a trace of warmth. In fact, there was even a mocking glint in his eyes when he looked at Aspen."Surely you haven't forgotten how you shamelessly crawled into my bed back then, or how you plotted to give birth to a child. Since you liked children so much, fine. I'm willing to give you another one."He then stepped forward, tilted Aspen's chin, and kissed her.It was revolting—unbearably revolting. Aspen had never imagined she would feel such disgust. She mustered all her strength and shoved Colin away."We're already divorced, Colin Fuller. Could you please have some dignity?"Colin had never expected his attempt at a kiss would be rejected. Anger flashed in his eyes."Aspen, we never got a divorce certificate. We're still husband and wife, so why are you acting so coy?"He was just giving her what she wanted. Why was

"I'm fine!" Aspen grew anxious. It was just a minor bone fracture—what was the point of resting any longer?But Aren completely ignored her protests. Without a word, he lifted her into his arms and gently placed her back on the bed."Rest and recover properly." His tone was firm, yet there was a gentleness in it, just like years ago. And yet, it didn't feel exactly the same.Aspen couldn't explain why, but despite being apart for years, there wasn't even a hint of awkwardness between them. Their tacit understanding remained, and there was an unspoken connection that felt effortlessly natural."Get some rest first. I'll go get you something to eat." Aren smiled, then turned and walked out of the room.A sense of warmth spread through Aspen's heart as she watched his retreating figure, slowly filling the cracks that had long existed there.At that moment, the door swung open, and Zac stepped inside. He stood before Aspen, his face twisted with unconcealed disgust."Aspen, I've tru

Aren had never expected that a simple trip abroad for further studies would cause him to miss so much.Back then, he had drowned himself in alcohol and despair for quite some time when he had heard that Aspen had gotten married and even given birth to a child. He had thought it was just a one-sided infatuation on his part.But after listening to her side, he felt like there was more to the story than he had originally believed."Enough for now. You're exhausted. Go home and rest for a few days. Once you've recovered, come and find me. I'll personally take you to the company to start your new job." He gently patted her head, and his voice was as soft as ever.Looking at Aren, Aspen felt something flicker to life inside her—a tiny spark of hope.But just as quickly as it appeared, she smothered it. She had no right to entertain such thoughts. All she could do was smile at Aren before turning around and heading back into her small, worn-down apartment.She smiled faintly to herself

Gwyneth wrapped her arms around Colin's neck and whispered softly, "I'm only doing this for you. What if she tries to play tricks and refuses to finalize the divorce? Colin, we went through so much to get here. I can't bear to see you struggle."As she spoke, tears welled up again. "I know… I know I'm not in the right, but I don't have a choice. I don't want to leave you. I can't leave you."Her sobs grew more intense, and her body suddenly trembled and stiffened.Colin's chest tightened. He knew all too well what this meant—it was a physical symptom of her depression.Panic surged through him. He quickened his pace without hesitation, rushing her to the hospital as fast as possible. He then immediately arranged for the best specialist to see her."Mr. Fuller, Ms. Sanders' emotional state has been highly unstable. I'm afraid her depression is relapsing. She's already showing physical symptoms. If this continues, she may revert to her previous condition. Mr. Fuller, you need to fin

Gwyneth had once thought that marrying Colin would guarantee her a life of ease and security. Never in her wildest dreams had she expected something like this to come out of nowhere.This…Panic surged through Gwyneth. If she had known that Fuller Group wasn't in Colin's hands, she would have been better off seducing Aspen instead!And now? After all her scheming, all she had managed to get was an empty shell?Colin raised an eyebrow and looked at Gwyneth. "Gwen, how are you feeling now?" His voice was gentle, but there was a trace of scrutiny in his eyes.Despite the chaos in her mind, Gwyneth quickly collected herself and slipped seamlessly into her role. She cast Colin a pitiful glance before saying in a soft and fragile voice, "Colin, I'm fine… Please don't argue with Ms. Nicholls anymore. She… She always follows through on her words. I don't want you to lose too much because of me."The moment she said this, Colin's expression softened. Looking at the delicate, considerate
