Before I received a reply, Isaac came storming into the hospital, carrying an unconscious Candy in his arms. The moment our eyes met, he grabbed me by the collar."I only asked you to lend Candy your lucky charm for a couple of days, and you put yam powder on it so she'd have an allergic reaction?""Am I supposed to be a psychic?" I shot back. "How could I have known you were going to take it today?"My indifferent gaze made him pause."Candy probably found out you'd worn it and pretended to have an allergy attack to throw a tantrum." He rubbed his temples and added, "She can be dramatic. Just let it go. Apologize to her so she doesn't make an even bigger scene and hurt herself."With that, my phone buzzed with another transfer notification of 100 thousand dollars.I looked at my account's transaction history. The compensation payments for apologizing to Candy were nearing a million dollars by now.The first payment came after she found Isaac's and my marriage license in our hou

I stared at Candy silently, then started unbuttoning my shirt."Grace!" Isaac yelled.However, before he could say anything else, Candy's eyes reddened."Isaac, I knew you still had feelings for this old woman. You said you stayed in this city for work, but really, you stayed so you could keep sneaking around with her, didn't you? If that's the case, maybe I should just leave!"Isaac rushed to stop her. Turning his back to me, he couldn't even bring himself to look at me.Ignoring their argument, I continued unbuttoning my shirt. As my clothes fell to the ground one after another, Candy's smile grew wider, and Isaac's expression grew darker."Who said you could stand here watching? All of you, get lost!" he roared at the butler and staff.When I was down to just my underwear, Isaac suddenly grabbed my wrist, saying, "That's enough. I didn't buy that."A cold gust of wind swept over me. Clenching my teeth, I carefully dug up the last surviving sunflower and transferred it to a p

Grace's POVAfter the final shovelful of earth landed, I handed the man a bottle of water.Skylar Stone accepted it but didn't drink. Instead, he stood quietly beside me in front of my parents' new graves.The sunflower I'd saved had already been planted beside my mother's headstone."My family has owned this land for years. I had it prepared in advance," Skylar said. "When this sunflower produces seeds again, I'll have the gardeners collect them and replant the field."After removing his gloves, Skylar gently ruffled my hair. "By next summer at the latest, your sunflower garden will be back.""Thank you."The moment I spoke, tears spilled down my face. I hurriedly wiped them away, only for more to follow.I hadn't cried in a very long time. When Candy appeared, and the other high-society wives mocked me for having a worse life than my husband's mistress, I didn't cry.When Isaac dragged me through eight divorces and eight remarriages, and even the courthouse staff looked at

Isaac's eyelids trembled."Who the hell are you? Don't touch my wife!"After taking over his family's business, Skylar had gradually expanded its operations overseas. It wasn't surprising that Isaac had never met him.Skylar took a huge diamond ring and slipped it onto my ring finger, saying, "I'm Grace's fiance." Then, he wrapped an arm around my shoulders and guided me away.By the time Isaac recovered and ran after us, all he got was a face full of exhaust fumes.In the car, my face burned red. I quickly took the ring off."Thank you for helping me back there, but it's a little inappropriate for me to wear this ring."When I'd contacted Skylar, I was just looking for help. We hadn't seen each other in years, so I'd never dared imagine he still had feelings for me.We were just kids when we parted. From the way he'd spoken recently, I assumed he already had a partner whom he loved and intended to marry. The thought made my heart sink.Skylar laughed softly and took the ring
