Evelyn’s PerspectiveAt last, I can finalize my divorce from Adrian! Today!While I was waiting for my divorce to come through, I had treated Nicholas and Nate equally, declining their many invitations to spend time alone together, such as going out to dinner or going sightseeing.Perhaps because I refused so many times, they both developed an unspoken understanding of the situation, and neither of them have invited me out recently.Now, Nate only occasionally sends a greeting. Whereas Nicholas and I often see each other when I am at his place with Sophie, we do spend more time in each other’s company, but everything is kept polite and at a distance.At 8:00 am, I arrived at the law firm and settled in to wait. I had agreed with Adrian to sign the divorce papers at 8:30 am, so I had a little time to spare and spent it handling some work online. Lately, work at the studio has been busier, so I have been looking to hire another designer and an assistant.Since I was tied up with legal m

Evelyn's perspective.After leaving the courthouse, I returned to the studio. The divorce felt like a trivial matter, now, causing no further ripples in my daily life, and no one mentioned it.I met with Marina; she was a nice, sensible young woman. I arranged for her to start work officially tomorrow, with a later shift. Later, I went to the mall.Sophie mentioned yesterday while watching TV that she liked the clothes the little girl was wearing on the show, and thought they were beautiful, so I found a similar outfit at the mall and bought it.When I went to see her, Sophie was playing in the living room. I walked in, and she gave me her usual hug, then I kissed her little face.I hid the gift bag behind my back. “Sophie, I’ve got a gift for you.”I acted all mysterious, trying to surprise her, and Sophie blinked her eyes.“Mommy, before you surprise me, I'll give you a surprise first. Dear Mom, congratulations on your freedom!”She clapped excitedly, then pulled out a gift box like

Evelyn’s perspective“Evelyn, you're making it sound like it's Adrian's fault! You know, if you weren't so nasty and unattractive, Adrian wouldn't have divorced you,” Vivian snorted coldly, looking indignant.With this outburst, Adrian's expression changed. People around us couldn't help but laugh, including Nicholas and I.Vivian was so stupid. Her malicious accusation meant she was clearly admitting her status as the other woman.“What are you laughing at?” she demanded, with an angry pout.Before I could answer, Adrian pulled her aside. They seemed to be arguing quietly. I couldn’t hear them but didn’t care anyway.When everyone had arrived, the teacher arranged for all of us to move around to the playground at the back of the preschool. We watched an adorable performance by the little ones that had everyone laughing and cheering.Next on the agenda was a parent-child competition, so some of us headed for the changing rooms to get ready.Everyone had to participate in this activit

Evelyn’s perspectiveHalf an hour passed, and Liam still hadn't come out. Though I didn't want to burden Nicholas and Sophie with my worries, I couldn't help but feel increasingly anxious.That was when Vivian and Adrian arrived, looking flushed and rattled. I felt nothing but disgust. It had been forty minutes since we had arrived at the hospital, and they were only just showing up now.What was he thinking, finally arriving to see if perhaps his child was okay? I wondered if Adrian even cared about his son at all!The two of them came straight over to us in the ER waiting room. I didn’t want to deal with the pair of them, and turned away with a frown.“Sophie, how dare you be so impolite!” Vivian’s harsh words rang out.I thought their first words would be asking after Liam’s condition, but instead Vivian was scolding Sophie.Nicholas’s expression was icy cold, and I’m sure mine looked just as bad.“Vivian, are you looking for trouble?” I demanded in chilling tones. I was shielding

Evelyn’s perspectiveIn such a short time, Sophie had already been hospitalized twice. This time, I was the one taking care of her. Nicholas wanted to stay, but knowing how demanding things were right now with his business, Sophie and I persuaded him to go back to work.On the second day of her hospitalization, Sophie's condition had stabilized. The doctor conducted a thorough examination and, after reviewing the results, informed us that she could be discharged the next day. This was great news!“Mommy, can I have some fruit today?”“Sure, Honey. I'll go pick some up for you.”Yesterday, the doctor had advised against letting Sophie eat too much, but since her condition was stable today, it was okay for her to have something. I stroked her hair and left the ward.As soon as I entered the elevator, I shared the good news with Nicholas.‘Nicholas, Sophie can be discharged tomorrow!’ I texted.‘That's great! I'll be at the hospital soon. Does she need anything? Should I bring anything w
