Chapter 1

On the day before our engagement, Shawn took my hand and said he would accompany me to look for my wedding dress.However, as we arrived at the bridal shop, Shawn answered a phone call and told me grimly, "Sonia, something’s happened at the company. I have to deal with it immediately."Although disappointed, I let Shawn leave without thinking much of it after seeing his worried expression.Before leaving, Shawn asked me to wait for him to return. He still had not returned by the time the bridal shop closed. I called him countless times, but none of the calls went through.The shop assistant looked at me pitifully, making my heart ache. She stepped forward and asked gently, "Ms. Zachman, how about we wait a little longer?"I shook my head and forced a smile. "No. I'm going home."On my way back, I saw a post with a picture of Shawn choosing pajamas for Britney.The caption read: [I can’t believe we’re so close that he’s helping me pick out pajamas!]I smiled and commented: [Othe

Chapter 2

After hanging up, I packed up all my belongings at home. I noticed that the house was very empty now. I remembered that Shawn's company would be listed soon. He was busy every day and had not lived at home for a long time.As Shawn's secretary, Britney ate every meal with him and even lived with him.I was a little upset about it, but Shawn always said grimly, "Sonia, Britney is a great help to me at work. Could you stop being so petty?"Therefore, I hid all my thoughts. Even when I saw them being affectionate as if no one else was around, and even if everyone in the office thought Britney was the best woman for Shawn, I put up with it because I could not bear to leave him.He was a ray of light in my dark life.My mom died of an illness the year Shawn and I got together. It was not long before my dad married his first love and my family life started to deteriorate.My dad only liked the children he had with his first love, and he always hated me because he saw me as proof that

Chapter 3

I was just about to eat my pasta when Shawn got back home.Seeing me act as if nothing had happened made him a little angry. He pursed his lips and asked me unhappily, "Didn't I ask you to wait for me at the bridal shop? Why didn't you wait for me? You didn't tell me anything either. I went there for nothing."I did not even look up. "Do I need to tell you why?"Shawn's eyes flickered with annoyance at my indifference. He sat at the other end of the dining table, crossing his arms and observing me.After a long time, he said, "I've always bought Britney her pajamas. She can't sleep unless she wears the ones I bought for her. I didn't mean to lie to you about working overtime. I just didn't want to upset you on your big day."Hearing Shawn's explanation, I forced a smile.Shawn was surprised that I was not arguing with him as relentlessly as before. Seeing my calm appearance, he opened his mouth to say something.However, I interrupted before he could, "I know you're good frien

Chapter 4

Hearing Shawn's indifferent words, I instantly calmed down.He then saw my luggage. Frowning, he asked in confusion, "What are you doing? We're getting engaged tomorrow."I chuckled. "You still remember.” Shawn frowned as he looked at me quizzically. He then realized I was not as enthusiastic as I usually was when he came home, nor was I fussing over him with concern like I used to.Not knowing what was going through my head, he said angrily, "Sonia, I've told you many times. Stop speculating about Britney and me with dirty ideas. We...""You're close friends," I interrupted calmly and looked at him with a deadpan expression.Shawn looked embarrassed for a moment.I said, "You're close friends, so you can pick out each other's pajamas and underwear. You can also sleep in the same bed and be intimate with each other."Shawn slapped me hard before I could finish speaking.My head was buzzing, and the world blurred before me. I numbly touched my cheek, which quickly swelled.Br

When I regained consciousness, I found myself lying in a hospital bed.The smell of disinfectant was pungent, but it made me feel at ease for some reason.A man was lying by my bedside, sleeping soundly as the sun shone on his face.I moved my body carefully, but he still woke up immediately, rubbing his sleepy eyes. Seeing me awake, he said in surprise, "You're awake!"I had an awful sore throat, and he immediately poured me a glass of water.The guy scratched his head with a bright smile. "I'm your new upstairs neighbor. My name is Liam Young."I thanked him. If he had not saved me, I probably would have died.Liam had an honest smile. He scratched his head again and said sheepishly, "Thank goodness my supervisor didn't ask me to work overtime. I always take the stairs when I get home early."Then, my phone rang. It was Shawn calling. He had called me many times while I was unconscious. I instinctively answered.Shawn's voice came from the other end of the line. "Sonia, what

Chapter 6

Knowing I was going home to move out, Liam quickly remarked that he would accompany me. He touched the back of his head and gave me an innocent smile. "Sonia, you're in poor health. I'll help you carry your things."Seeing that I was not in a good mood, Liam looked at me warily. He hesitated for a moment before making a face at me.My heart could not help but soften at his attempts to cheer me up, so I took him home. My stuff was already packed, and we just needed to move it.Liam refused to let me do anything. He said I just got out of the hospital and needed rest. I could only watch him, or he would start nagging again.I stared blankly around while Liam moved things downstairs. Shawn had started renting this place after we got together. Later, he became successful and was able to buy it. He had said, "Sonia, this place is very important to us. It's our first home."Thinking of the past, my heart ached slightly. Seeing the solidified noodles on the ground, I sighed and rolled up

Chapter 7

Shawn's question shocked me.I saw the panic in Britney's eyes and understood Shawn's question. I laughed so hard that I started crying again. How ridiculous. Shawn was my first love and the only man I had ever been with, yet he was questioning me because of Britney's instigation.I was laughing so hard that I bent over. I was the only one laughing in the whole room, which made Shawn frown. "Have you lost your mind?"I straightened up and wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes. Looking at the man in front of me, whom I had loved deeply for four years, I felt so disappointed. Our relationship had been a joke. I calmed down and answered, "I’ve probably lost my mind. Shawn, would you believe me if I told you that the baby was yours?"Shawn said without thinking, "You're still lying to me!"I felt sad but still wanted an answer. "Britney told you otherwise, right? Do you trust Britney that much?"Shawn finally saw the panic in Britney's eyes. He reached out and pulled Britney in

Chapter 8

I temporarily moved into Liam's place.Liam was a postgraduate student. Every day, apart from studying, he went travelling. Liam and I slowly found more and more things to talk about.I soon learned that the cheerful Liam was actually very thoughtful. He took good care of me and was my emotional support rock. He would motivate me and get me out of the trap of self-doubt. He would drag me out to travel. Thanks to him, I rarely thought about Shawn.I wanted to get a job, and Liam was supportive. He accompanied me to update my resume and analyze the job positions one by one. However, I got no news after sending out my resume. I could not resist calling around. Finally, someone tactfully said, "Ms. Zachman, why don't you think about who you've offended lately?"I was silent. Shawn was the only person I had offended lately. With that in mind, I became a little depressed, covering my face and crying.Liam came home and saw me crying with my eyes red and swollen. He clenched his fists. "

Chapter 9

Things had suddenly taken a turn with my job search. I had an offer from a small company, so I washed up and got ready to go to work.Before I left, Liam grabbed me, gave me a box, and motioned for me to open it. I opened it to find a new phone.I felt a bit troubled. "This is too expensive. I can't take it."Liam replied, "It's to celebrate your new job. You should get rid of your old phone, so take this new one!"Liam's insistence made me accept it.When I got to the company, the human resource staff received a phone call and instantly looked troubled.Something felt off, but I could not figure it out.The human resource staff looked at me and hesitated for a long time after the call.I smiled wryly. "Did someone pressure you?"With a wry smile and a nod, she led me to an office and said, "Boss said he wants to talk to you."Just as I was about to walk in, the staff suddenly stopped me and whispered, "Boss' porcelain is all fake. It’s the kind that costs 10 dollars and incl

Chapter 10

Shawn and I had parted on bad terms. I did not want to explain to him that the baby had been his. He did not believe me, so I did not need to explain.The human resources staff saw me off when I left. When we parted, the lady sighed and said, "I'm sorry."I was surprised, but I shook my head. I could not blame her. She was just a human resources staff. I could not blame the company owner either, because Shawn was more powerful than him.Everyone had their struggles.Just when I thought I should return to Summerstone, my dad showed up.I had mixed feelings about seeing him again. He was much older, and his hair was gray now. I had not talked to him since my mom died. I hated him, but now I wondered whether I was justified.He and my mother had an arranged marriage. They had no feelings for each other, but they gave birth to me and played the role of a loving couple and kind parents to appease their families.However, acting was still acting at the end of the day. With my mother
