Chapter 1

After bidding my mother goodbye, I turned on my phone to find a Facebook friend request from Scott Lakin."Jennie, you've got some nerve unfriending me on Facebook," his message read.Half a month ago, Scott had blocked me on every platform. He had been annoyed by me calling him over and over. The only platform I didn't get blocked on was freaking Soundcloud.He'd assumed that I would beg him to make up with me like I always did, but he never expected that I would unfriend him on every platform.If he wanted to contact me now, he'd have to send a friend request first.I pretended not to see the notification and put my phone in my bag. When I walked out of the train station, I found Scott standing there."Where the heck have you been? Why haven't you come home? If I hadn't tracked your location down to this train station, I would never have found you."He stared at me accusingly, as if he'd only just realized today that I hadn't been home.I pursed my lips. I was about to tell h

After work, Scott actually called me for the very first time."It's your birthday today, isn't it? I made dinner reservations and got you a cake. I should give you a proper celebration this year so that people won't think that we're growing distant."My finger hovered over the Uber app on my phone, but in the end, I still agreed.Since we were going to break up, it'd be better if we sat down and talked it out properly.However, it was only after I walked into the private room at the restaurant that I learned the truth. Scott wasn't only celebrating my birthday. He was also celebrating Margot's."Actually, my birthday is only five days after yours, but I really wanted to spend it with you, Jen. That's why I pestered Scott to include my birthday too."Blinking innocently, Margot pointed at the cake on the table. Only half of it was left."That half is yours, Jen. I was worried that we wouldn't be able to finish two cakes, so I only asked Scott to get one."Staring at half a cake

When I got out of the shower, I saw Scott sitting on the bed. He was smoking a cigarette with a complicated look on his face.When he saw me, he quickly stubbed out the cigarette. "I'm sorry about the cake. Don't be mad, okay?" he said sincerely.Saying nothing, I walked past him and went to the vanity to dry my hair."Let me help you."Like a kid who'd done something wrong, he was desperately trying to make things up to me."There's no need for that," I said coldly. My eyebrows were pulled together in a frown.Pursing his lips, Scott retreated to a corner, not daring to say a word.Through the mirror, I could see how helpless he looked. Yet, it didn't trigger a flicker of emotion within me."Jennie, I feel like you've changed a lot. In the past, whenever I unfriended you, you would always add me back. But this time, not only did you not add me back, but you won't even accept my friend request."Feeling the awkward tension in the air, he decided to change the subject.I pause

The next morning, Scott didn't leave for work early like he usually did. Instead, he made me breakfast."I made your favorite—coffee and toast. Have some before you go to work."Nodding, I sat down. Just as I picked up the toast, Scott's phone rang."Scott, I didn't have breakfast today. I'm starving, and I'm worried that the baby won't get enough nutrition."In the next second, the toast that I'd just picked up was snatched out of my hands. Then, Scott said anxiously, "Go buy something else to eat. I can't let Margot's baby go hungry."With that, he packed up the toast and coffee before taking off.Gazing at his retreating back, I snorted coldly.As I expected, to Scott, Margot would always be the first priority.In the past, I'd feel jealous or sad because of this. I was the one who'd stayed by Scott's side during tough times, so why did he devote all his affection to her instead?Yet, I didn't feel anything at this moment because I didn't love him anymore.It didn't matter

Chapter 5

A bad feeling came over Scott, and he took out his phone to call me."I'm sorry. The number you have dialed cannot be reached. Please try again later."An hour had passed since the last time he tried to call me. Even if I had been on the phone with someone, I must be done by now.Right now, it seemed like I had blocked him already.Still in disbelief, he went to the bedroom, only to find that I hadn't even left the potted plant on the balcony behind.He was completely alarmed now. "Where is Jennie? Why did she suddenly vanish?" he thought, distressed.At that moment, someone tagged him in the work group chat. It was his assistant and best friend, Jacob Bynes. "Mr. Lakin, I heard that Jennie has resigned. Don't tell me you're planning to make her a stay-at-home wife."That would be a huge pity. She's excellent at what she does. You would be wasting her talent if you made her stay at home."As they had grown up together, Jacob always spoke to him casually despite being his assi

By the time I arrived at my destination, it was already noon the next day. As soon as I got off the train, I spotted my mother from a distance, standing in the crowd.She rushed toward me, saying reproachfully, "Why are you back so soon? Train tickets are not cheap, you know. If Scott knew, he would be upset."However, no matter how fierce she pretended to be, she couldn't hide the emotion and happiness in her voice.Holding her hand, I smiled. "His happiness is not my business anymore because we have broken up. From now on, I'll be keeping you company here. I won't be going anywhere."My mother's expression froze. She stared at me like she wanted to say something. In the end, she couldn't bring herself to voice her confusion.After all, in her eyes, I loved Scott dearly. For him, I would give up anything. I had even willingly endured hardship so that he could start his business.With the wedding coming up, I should be elated. Thus, my sudden separation from Scott was indeed conf

Chapter 7

It had been eight days since I returned to my hometown. I'd just finished feeding the chickens and was about to head to the fields to cut the grass.To my surprise, as soon as I opened the door, I saw Scott. He was standing outside, looking fatigued.The moment he saw me, his dull eyes brightened. However, his tone was still as firm as ever."Jennie, you're really getting more and more unreasonable. In what way have I pissed you off so much that you chose to run away from home without saying anything? You even recalled our wedding invitations."He grabbed me, and the basket and sickle that I was holding fell to the floor. They landed right on top of his feet.Yet, like an unfeeling creature, he barely reacted. He just kept staring at me.Frowning, I yanked my hand back. I took a few steps back, putting some distance between us."We're already separated, so of course I had to recall them.""When have I ever said that I wanted to break up? Jennie, if you're going to continue bein

Chapter 8

Half a month had passed before Scott managed to find me again.My mother and I had brought all the oranges we harvested to the city to sell. On the way back, we found Scott waiting outside the door.He looked much more haggard than before. The moment he saw me, he got emotional and ran toward me, but my mother stopped him.She still remembered that I'd told her about Scott's infidelity. She pointed her sickle at Scott and screamed angrily, "What trouble are you trying to cause this time?""This is a misunderstanding, Linda. I just want to talk to Jennie." Scott stumbled backward, keeping a safe distance from my mother.I didn't want my personal affairs to affect my mother emotionally. After promising her that I'd be home soon, I dragged Scott to a quiet corner."Tell me, what do you want to talk about?" I looked at him expressionlessly. All I wanted was for this conversation to end sooner so that I could go home.Pursing his lips, Scott asked, "Do you really not care about me an

However, it was something else that surprised me. It was one thing for Scott to be bothering me, but even Margot came looking for me.She told me that Scott had sent her abroad, and that she had to put in a lot of effort just to come back.She asked me to give Scott back to her, and that he belonged to her.Shrugging, I said nonchalantly, "I'm not the one who's clinging to him, so what's the point in talking to me?"Margot asked me to move houses. She said that that way, Scott wouldn't be able to track me down anymore.However, they were the ones who were in the wrong, so why should I run away? I simply refused.After all, if this went on, it would only affect them, not me.Yet, despite Margot's innocent and harmless looks, she was actually a psycho.After she failed to convince me to move, her hatred toward me festered. One day, when my mother and I went to sell our produce, a car sped toward me.Reacting quickly, my mother saved me. However, the impact sent her flying a grea

Chapter 10

My mother and I moved to a small farming village in Wemberly Hills. Like our hometown, its main industry was agriculture.I used ten years' worth of savings to start a farm. My plan was to settle down and start a new life here with my mother.With a lot of hard work, the farm quickly came to life. Moreover, it also brought in a great deal of wealth for us.As for Scott, I happened to learn what happened to him one day.Apparently, after I vanished, he had kept looking for me. He'd even threatened Simone so that she would tell him my address.Thankfully, Simone was already well prepared. She moved from that toxic place, and Scott was never able to locate her again.After that, Scott was so busy trying to win me back that he stopped paying attention to his business. In the end, spies infiltrated the company and stole some confidential documents.Instantly, the company went bankrupt.Once again, Scott became as broke as he used to be ten years ago, except he didn't have me by his
