Chapter 1

Chris Green looked at the clock hanging from the wall for the fifth time. The hands had just reached twelve.He looked at the spread on the table and wryly smiled. He knew she wouldn't remember today was his birthday and didn't know what he was expecting.He stood up and was about to throw away the dishes that had gone cold. That was when he heard the sound of someone entering the passcode at the door. Chris paused.Jessica Wilder walked in, leaving the cold wind behind her. She looked tired and was holding a bag.After entering the house, she looked up at Chris and then placed the bag on the shoe cabinet. "Happy birthday. Sorry for coming back so late. I had to work overtime. Try and see if this fits."With that said, Jessica made a beeline to her bedroom with her head down before Chris could say anything.Chris stood where he was for a long time before walking over to the entrance as if accepting his fate.When he saw the brand of the clothes, he couldn't help but sneer. It wa

The surroundings were silent, with only the undying longing remaining.After a long pause, Chris spoke softly, “Mom, I’m getting a divorce.”He silently lowered his head, tears streaming from his eyes, and only the tombstone heard his whisper, “If only we had never gotten married.”On the way back, he went to the law firm to pick up the divorce papers he had prepared long ago.He had already made preparations when he first mentioned it to his mother-in-law.He thought, since Jessica had no feelings for him, separating was for the best, and it wouldn’t delay her reconciling with Michael.There weren’t many of his belongings at home, as if from the very beginning he had anticipated this day, so he deliberately left no personal traces in the house.After an afternoon of packing, he was left with only a small suitcase.If he hadn’t truly lived in that home for five years, anyone would have thought he was just a guest.That evening, Jessica unexpectedly returned home early.When s

He arrived at the hotel, unpacked his clothes, and collapsed on the bed, falling fast asleep.Thick curtains blocked out the setting sun, and he slept until nightfall before waking up naturally.When he opened his eyes and saw the unfamiliar surroundings, he was momentarily disoriented.He got up and took a quick shower.Then he turned on his computer and started handling matters related to studying abroad.Jonathan had sent over the email address of a mentor in Desland, suggesting he reach out in advance.He only knew basic Deslian, but to live in Desland, he would definitely need systematic language study.After thinking for a moment, he used the money in his bank account to sign up for a language class and checked his balance.He hadn’t taken a single cent from his mother-in-law or Jessica.The money in his account was solely from his scholarship, since the Wilder family had covered all his mother’s medical expenses in her final years.He knew he had to pay them back event

Chapter 4

Chris actually found it quite strange.According to Jessica’s usual character, as long as Michael was around, how could she possibly still notice him?The fact that she messaged repeatedly today was already rare, and in Jessica’s view, if he still wanted to maintain the marriage, he should have taken the opportunity to make peace.But now, he no longer cared about Jessica’s opinion.So he didn’t reply to Jessica’s message, left his phone on silent, and set it aside.He wouldn’t return to that house either, if Jessica wanted to delete his fingerprint access, so be it.He had thought that this was the limit of what Jessica would do. If he didn’t go back, that would be it.Since Michael was by her side, of course her first love was more important.But unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, the door was suddenly unlocked.Chris, groggy from sleep, sat up abruptly.The lights in the room flicked on with a sharp click.Under the white light, Chris saw Jessica standing at the do

Chapter 5

After thinking it over, Jessica still felt that bringing Michael along was not a good idea."Forget it, I'll go by myself. Chris has a strange personality—he might offend you. You can get some rest. Tomorrow you still have to take Jordan to the hospital for an IV. Let’s not get delayed."After saying that, Jessica didn’t even give Michael a chance to object and left with her car keys.Michael stood in the living room for a long time, then turned and looked around the whole house, finally pushing open the door to Jessica and Chris’s bedroom.Jessica really didn’t like Chris, did she?When he first arrived, he had noticed that there were no men's toiletries at all, yet Jessica hadn’t realized that.Michael felt that it saved him a lot of trouble.Because of a problem with his passport, Chris had spent several days trying to resolve it, missing the first round of exchange studies. A fire simmered quietly in his chest—he knew all of this was Jessica’s doing. She was forcing him to s

The next day, Chris checked out of the hotel. The hospital provided accommodation, and he moved in with his luggage.But while at work, he unexpectedly heard the names of Jessica and Michael."Ms. Wilder and Mr. Hall have such a great relationship. Did you see the news back then?""Yeah, I saw it. Ms. Wilder and Mr. Hall were childhood sweethearts. They were supposed to be together, but their families broke them up. Tsk tsk, it’s like a romance novel!""But... didn’t I hear Ms. Wilder is married?""So what if she’s married? Mr. Hall is too! Didn’t you see his daughter’s all grown up? But... they must be divorced now, otherwise how could they be back together?""Separated for years, married to other people and still reunited—what a melodrama. But Mr. Hall does seem gentle, and Ms. Wilder, too."Chris stayed frozen at the doorway for a long time, not reacting until his roommate came back from fetching water and called out to him."Chris, what’s wrong?"Coming back to his senses,

Chapter 7

Looking at Jessica again, Chris saw the same concern in her eyes as in her mother-in-law’s.“You’re already having a hard time raising Jordan on your own. It’s good to have a vehicle for getting around. Don’t worry, if it’s something I give, the Hall family won’t dare to take it.”The Hall family wasn’t as powerful as the Wilder family, but they still held some influence locally. Back then, Michael had been sent abroad for an arranged marriage. Within five years, his wife grew tired of him and divorced him, leaving even their daughter behind. He returned home quietly with the child.As for the Hall family, they considered Michael a disgrace. It was bad enough that he had eloped with Jessica, but then he ended up being kicked out by a woman. After he returned, they never let him back into the house, and they even took back the property they had given him.Now, Jessica claimed that Michael’s apartment would be ready soon and he would move out—but in reality, that property also belong

Chapter 8

Jessica had always thought about adopting a child, thinking that maybe then Chris might stay home to focus on the child.Over the past few days, while taking care of Jordan, she had started to feel that adopting a child wasn’t such a bad idea after all—at the very least, it might keep Chris from wandering off.To her, it might not be as important as a business deal, but to Chris, it could be a life-changing event.Seeing how casual Jessica was about it, Shannon didn’t think much of it either and simply nodded.But a week later, when Shannon saw Chris standing at the entrance of the Register Office, she was completely stunned.“This... this is the ‘small matter’ Ms. Wilder mentioned?” she exclaimed, eyes wide in shock.Wearing high heels, she walked up to Chris and hesitantly asked, “Sir, what’s this about?”Seeing that the person who arrived wasn’t Jessica, Chris immediately felt displeased.“Why are you here? Where is she?”Shannon replied, “She went abroad last week—for the

Chapter 9

"But...""I’ll attend Linda’s birthday banquet this weekend. Just have the suit delivered to the hospital. Thank you."After saying that, Chris politely said goodbye, leaving Shannon standing alone on the steps.Sunlight poured down on Chris, yet it seemed to bring him no warmth at all.Back in the car, Chris tossed the divorce certificate onto the passenger seat and let out a cold laugh.Five years of marriage had been more than just a mistake—it had been a joke. Who gets a divorce handled by a secretary?In truth, Chris believed Jessica hadn’t even looked closely at the papers she signed that night—perhaps she didn’t even know they were divorced.But what did that matter to him?Jessica might be content to remain trapped in the past, unable to move forward, but he couldn’t be.He had already wasted five years—he still had to keep moving forward.Returning to the hospital, he immediately went into surgery.The next few days were completely filled with operations, gradually

Chapter 10

The butler, Albert, took the bag full of medicinal patches, feeling a little emotional, and said, “You’re so thoughtful, Mr. Green.”Chris had wanted to remind the butler not to call him "Mr. Green" anymore, but since Jessica might also show up, he didn’t want to create unnecessary complications and chose to stay silent.He simply nodded and followed behind the butler.The butler walked ahead without saying a word—such a good son-in-law, yet the young lady didn’t like him, insisting instead on favoring that man from the Hall family.The butler had been with the Wilder family since before Jessica’s parents were married. It was about time for him to retire. Having watched Jessica grow up, he naturally knew all about her past with Michael.From the very beginning, John and Linda had disapproved of Michael.It wasn’t that Michael’s family background was poor—it was his temperament that had been the issue.In the main hall of the Wilder family's residence, influential figures from al
