Chapter 1

A year had passed, yet Lola Lawson still seemed to hate me just as much as before.Watching her and her friends clutching their stomachs and bawling out laughing, I clenched my fists tightly."Kevin Sheraton, what else can we say about you? You've chased after Lola for so many years, yet there hasn't been an improvement at all.""Every time we think that you've finally grown some balls and left, you'd turn around and stick to her like glue again!""Wake up, honey. Even if you're willing to be her back-up, Lola doesn't like you at all!"I was so furious by their insults that I was trembling with rage.Lola noticed that I was not responding, so she feigned concern and said, "Kevin, do you not like the welcome gift I prepared for you? I went to a lot of trouble to prepare them."Then, she pretended to be mad at her friends. "You guys are too much. Kevin rushed over the moment he landed. How could you bully our daddy-to-be?"Then, a burst of laughter rang out once more. Lola's laug

Chapter 2

Before the flight took off, I posted my flight information on social media.I then received Lola's phone call. She said she had gotten into trouble and needed me to rush to the city hall the moment I landed.I still remember how my hands trembled when I saw that it was a call from her. I also could not forget how hard my heart was thumping when I heard how anxious she sounded.I thought she had come to her senses and finally realized that she always needed me by her side. I just did not expect her to post her entire plan on her social media, and she seemed to have forgotten to block me, the person she had not been in contact with for almost a year.This was how I came to know their play.When the aircrew informed me to switch off my phone, tears fell down my face.She had always relied on my obedience for the past 10 years, which was why she could hurt me over and over again.She said that if one day she got tired, she would settle down with me and have a baby. She was not tir

Chapter 3

I looked at Lola grimly, "I'm here today not because you called me and begged me to, but because I really need to register for my own child. My wife left the place in a rush, so she didn't bring any products. I bought some when I came over from the airport.""Kevin, you liar! You're just trying to gain my attention! Only you would come up with such dirty tricks." Lola rolled her eyes at me.Since she refused to believe me, I had no choice but to take my child's birth certificate out.One of Lola's friends snatched it away from me and read the details out loud, "Father: Kevin Sheraton. Mother: Stephanie Smith…"When they heard the mother's name, Lola furrowed her brows. Then, she looked at me with condescension and mockery."Kevin, you really should put more effort into faking this. Do you think you could end up with the heiress of the Smith family, Stephanie Smith? And you're out here saying you got a child with her? Do you think I'm an idiot like you?"She stuffed the birth cert

Chapter 4

"No! They're all fake, they must be!"I shrugged and smiled helplessly. I wanted to take my phone back from Lola, but she would not let go.She scrolled until the end of the album when her face suddenly popped up on the screen. As if finally having leverage, she yelled, "Ah-ha! Didn't you say you were married? Please explain to me why you still have a photo of me?"Her friends instantly snatched my phone over and mocked me once more, as if I was finally exposed for lying."Kevin, I really thought you'd finally grown a spine! Turns out you've just Photoshopped some photos to lie to us!""I knew it! He had been happily slaving away for Lola all these years. How could he possibly marry someone else? He would probably spend his entire life serving Lola!"Lola immediately turned smug and looked at me disdainfully with a raised chin. "Kevin, I overestimated you. I almost believed your lie! How lonely are you to create so many fake photos? And you even used Ms. Smith's face! I feel asha

Chapter 5

Lola's hand was caught mid-air.Having yet to process what had happened, Lola tried to swing her hand down when the bodyguard shoved her to the side.Instantly, a group of bodyguards in suits surrounded me.Lola was baffled, and so were her friends."Come on, Kevin. Don't you think you've gone a little too far just to put on an act for Lola? You even hired people as bodyguards?" One of her friends chimed in.Before I could say anything, my wife, Stephanie, approached. "Honey, you didn't listen to me again. I told you to wait for me, yet you insist on going on your own. Look at the scene you've caused."If my friends at the city hall hadn't told me about this, how much longer are you going to waste your time with this bunch of crazy women?"Stephanie handed our daughter to a nanny behind her before grumbling at me.I quickly went forward to pull her coat together tighter while putting her hands on my chest to warm them up."You've just given birth. I don't want you out and abou

Chapter 6

Lola seemed to be convincing her friends, but she was also doing it to herself.Her friends went along with her."You're right! Everyone in Brookstown knows Kevin has been trying to win you over for so many years! How could he suddenly have a change of heart?""I'm guessing he must feel threatened by Timothy, so he came up with such a huge act to gain your attention! That cheap, lowly scumbag!""Yeah. If he has truly had a change of heart, why does he still have a photo of Lola?"Lola's face regained its color, hearing what they said. "I'll go to the hotel that my mother said. I'm going to see how he continues this act!" she said while putting on makeup, pressing in a huge amount of concealer under the eyes to cover her eye bags."Please cover for me. Don't let Timothy know that I'm heading to the hotel. I'm sure you all know what a sensitive soul he is. He might seem like he doesn't care, but every time I'm with another guy, he secretly gets sad."I chuckled, suddenly thinking

Chapter 7

When the security guards noticed the commotion, they quickly went over to deal with it.I patted Stephanie's hand and said gently, "Why don't you take the baby in? I'll come soon."Perhaps my being gentle with another woman provoked Lola. She shrugged her parents off and ran over to me."Spit it out, Kevin! All of this is fake, right? Don't think I'll give you more attention just because you played such a trick. Forget it! You're not good enough for me!"Lola's parents looked at me hesitantly, shaking their heads. Even Lola's friends were terrified by how menacing she looked.Thinking about how we were neighbors for so many years, I could not bear to be cruel, so I patted Lola on the shoulder and said, "It's real. I'm married to another woman, and I have a daughter. Don't worry. I won't bother you ever again."I added, "You were right, Lola–I was delusional back then. But now I've come to my senses. I let both of us off the hook."My tone had not a hint of displeasure. On the co

Chapter 8

Lola seemed to have noticed my gaze on her tattoo. She immediately covered her tattoo with her sleeve, but the tattoo seemed more obvious when she did it."My wife turned on the lights, not me. As for your photo, I missed it when I was clearing my gallery for storage space. When you found out about it, I immediately deleted it. Don't read too much into this. Just go home. Timothy must be worried sick!""No! Let me explain! Nothing is going on between Timothy and me!"At that moment, a figure who had been standing in the distance for a long time suddenly ran over and picked her up."Lola! What are you doing?! I won't allow you to stoop so low! So what if he had gotten married? We'll get married next week! No! Tomorrow!"Lola, who had been sobbing, quieted down instantly. She looked at me as she thought quickly.A moment later, her eyes sparkled. She pulled Timothy along and left. "Alright, we'll get married tomorrow! Once we get married, he'll regret it! Yes. He'll surely regret i

Chapter 9

Stephanie immediately bent down to help Lola dress her wound up once more.The moment Stephanie lowered, however, Lola slapped her to the ground."It's all your fault! You stole Kevin from me! He wouldn't have left me!" I was so infuriated that I kicked Lola off. "Lola! You've gone mad! Do you think that just because you put on the wedding gown that you threw away, I'd come back to you? Don't you see that it's dirty already? We can never go back to the way we were before!"How many times do I have to tell you to get it into your thick skull? I don't love you anymore! Do you understand?"I was infuriated looking at Stephanie's swollen, reddened cheek. I could not let the kindest woman I had ever known, the one who looked after me when I was at rock-bottom, to suffer time and time again all because of me.Lola jumped at my reaction. She did not expect that someone like me–who used to obey her every order–would one day hit her."Kevin…""Enough! Lola, if you really want to marry,
