Chapter 41

"Stop it, Ed..." Sharon said.Inside the room, Macie silently put on her headphones, playing music to block out Sharon and Edward's conversation.While they wanted to put on a show, she couldn't be bothered to watch them.Just like that, two hours went by. Macie decided to wash up first to avoid running into them.Grabbing her toiletries, she stepped out and caught the sickeningly sweet chatter between the two in the living room.Hearing the bedroom door open, Edward glanced up only to see the bathroom door shut.He thought that Macie had been acting strange all day.He wondered if she was angry but decided that it seemed more like a detached indifference.For as long as she was in the bathroom, Edward kept his eyes fixed on the door.A flash of malice flickered in Sharon's eyes when she noticed this.When the bathroom door opened ten minutes later, Edward practically sprang up to his feet and strode toward her.He intended to confront Macie and ask how long she planned to s

Chapter 42

Edward went to the kitchen, fiddled around, and ended up heating up the leftover mashed potatoes.He was surprised to find that it tasted pretty good. Perhaps it was because Macie had cooked those potatoes. Everything she cooked always had a sweet and fragrant taste.The next morning, Macie woke up early and immediately noticed that half of the mashed potatoes were gone. She frowned, trying to recall if she had accidentally thrown some out last night when she was tossing the leftovers.Too lazy to think further, she gave up on making a mashed potato egg skillet casserole and instead fried some eggs and bacon.Edward woke up early just to have a good breakfast. However, he frowned when he saw the simple meal on the table."Why aren't we having mashed potato egg skillet casserole?" he asked."There weren't enough potatoes," Macie replied expressionlessly.Edward froze for a second, recalling how he had devoured them last night. Feeling guilty, he didn't dare to admit it. "Then jus

"Surprised to see me?" Sharon asked smilingly. She then joked, "Or are you just disappointed that it's not May who came?"Edward frowned instantly and retorted without thinking, "How could I be? Don't say something so disgusting."Sharon smirked and stepped closer.Right then, Edward added, "It's her duty to bring me lunch. Why would I keep her otherwise? I just didn't want you to go through the trouble. You shouldn't be doing this kind of thing.""I was just passing by. I only work half-days now since I don't have any runway shows," Sharon replied."Just put it on the table. I'll have Nathan drive you to the studio," Edward said as he walked over to the couch."There's no rush. I'll keep you company for a while." Sharon sat down beside him, smiling.Edward didn't argue. As he opened the lunchbox, the rich aroma of food filled the air. He cautiously took a small bite."I knew it. She did that on purpose last night," Edward complained. It seemed that the food was seasoned normal

Chapter 44

The receptionist lowered her head, not daring to argue. Nathan followed Sharon and rolled his eyes at her arrogant and domineering attitude. After all, even the legitimate wife wasn't this haughty! Alas, Sharon was the one Edward liked...Meanwhile, Macie was revising her résumé at home. She had been out of work for two years, and though she could rely on connections to get into Julian's company, the HR department still had to process her application.Macie didn't even glance at her relentlessly buzzing phone.Now that Edward was full from eating, he was probably throwing another fit, defending Sharon yet again.Did he really think Macie had asked Sharon to deliver the food? Sharon had insisted on doing it herself.But now that Macie had already handed over the divorce agreement, Sharon probably wouldn't tamper with the food again just to frame her.…Nathan drove Sharon to work that day.By now, every internal personnel had almost completely accepted her as "Mrs. Fowler".

Chapter 45

Five nights ago, Edward had another argument with Macie when he got home. He accused her of being lazy for making Sharon bring her meals and having a bad attitude for ignoring his messages.But, surprisingly, Macie didn't argue back even once. She simply listened in silence. Instead, it was Sharon who stepped in. She took the blame and said that she was the one who had volunteered to bring the meals. Over the next few days, she continued bringing lunch every noon.Edward pressed his lips together. He thought that Macie had been throwing a tantrum for far too long. It went on for so long that he had completely run out of patience.Clearly, he had spoiled her too much to the point where she no longer even knew her place.Edward stood up, his expression dark. He was determined to teach her a lesson when he got home that evening.Sharon arrived home first at 5:00 pm and immediately threw the divorce agreement in front of Macie.Seeing the document, Macie took it without hesitation.

Chapter 46

"Worthless? Ha, that's right, Edward. Everything is worthless to you," Macie said as she glared at him. Her whole body trembled as she gritted her teeth to hold back her emotions.Sharon was the one who had lost Macie's necklace, yet Edward immediately blamed the latter for being petty.Seeing the redness in Macie's eyes, as if she was on the verge of tears, Edward suddenly froze."It's just a necklace. I'll buy you another one," he suggested in a softer tone."I don't care about your compensation! No amount of money can bring back what it meant to me!" Macie bit her lip, then turned away angrily."Don't be ungrateful. I already said that I'd compensate you. What more do you want?" Edward raised his voice as his patience wore thin.The only response he got was the sound of a door slamming shut. Edward's frustration flared. He hadn't even had the chance to scold Macie for her attitude these past few days, yet she was now snapping at him first!"Ed, I'm sorry. It's all my fault...

Chapter 47

Edward was focused on his phone, sending messages to get details about the auction items for tonight. Because of his concentration, he failed to notice Sharon's twisted, jealousy-filled expression.After dinner, Edward drove Sharon to the auction house.In the car, she thought to herself that Edward would surely buy something for her, too. As for whatever he got for Macie, Sharon figured that she could just take it later. Smirking slightly, she clenched her fists and scoffed inwardly.During the auction, Edward asked for her opinion, "Sharon, what do you think of this ruby necklace?"Sharon put on a smug expression upon hearing that. She had expected this. She knew that Edward wouldn't forget about her."It's beautiful. It's vibrant yet elegant," Sharon replied shyly, filled with anticipation.Edward rubbed his chin and commented, "Yes, but it's too striking. It wouldn't suit Macie. She looks better in soft, muted colors."Sharon's expectant expression froze. She bit her lip a

Chapter 48

The excitement on Edward's face gradually faded at Sharon's words. He pressed his lips together, remained silent for a few seconds, then denied while frowning, "I'm not trying to appease Macie. Also, I'm not doing it out of my 'feelings' for her.""But didn't you buy the necklace for her?" Sharon asked through gritted teeth.Edward fell into a longer silence this time.A few minutes passed before he somewhat awkwardly said, "I was compensating her on your behalf. Don't overthink it. My marriage with her is just a formality forced by my grandfather. I will never love her."Sharon might have believed him before, but not this time. After all, when Edward bid on the Rose Crown, he didn't even glance at her. He simply fixated on it and relentlessly placed his bids.And yet, he never once mentioned buying anything for her.His feelings for Macie were obvious.They soon arrived at the apartment complex and took the elevator up.Holding a velvet box in his hand, Edward opened the lid t

Chapter 49

"Give it to someone who likes it. I don't care," Macie said calmly.Edward felt like he was about to explode. He stared at Macie's expression. It was that same detachment and indifference he hated the most. She looked as if he were nothing more than a stranger to her."If you have nothing else to say, please leave. I'm going to sleep." Macie dismissed him."Sleep? It's only 10:00 pm!" Edward shouted. "I bought you a new necklace, didn't I? What more do you want? Tell me!"Macie instinctively stepped back when she saw Edward's aggressive stance, as if he was about to throw a punch. She couldn't help feeling afraid.If a husband hit his wife, it would just be considered domestic violence, not aggravated assault. Otherwise, Edward would serve at least a three-year sentence.As they stood off against each other, Macie's phone on the bed suddenly rang. She rushed over to grab it, ready to call the police if necessary.Edward caught a glimpse of her phone screen. It was still the old,

Chapter 50

Gritting her teeth in silence, Macie glared at the deranged man before her.A rabid dog, a manic lunatic, a complete psychopath—none of those words seemed sufficient to describe Edward.The door was locked, reinforced with two extra security locks, and Edward himself stood guard beside it, refusing to budge.Macie turned back to her room, choosing to ignore the deranged man entirely.Edward's expression softened slightly when he saw her enter her room. Moments later, a box was thrown out of the room. He clenched his teeth in frustration but made no move to pick it up.After the noise settled, Sharon carefully opened the door of the guest room and stepped out.Spotting the necklace on the floor, she picked it up, then turned her gaze to Edward standing by the door. She approached him and uttered, her tone gentle and considerate, "Ed… You must have misunderstood May. She loves you so much, after all.""Misunderstood?" Edward let out an angry scoff. "For two years, she hasn't socia
