Chapter 1

My casual remark broke the silence in my office. Edgar Anderson was still immersed in the joy of Lana John’s pregnancy. He looked up when he heard that. He frowned. “What contract? Are you trying to pick a fight in a new way?” He had forgotten about it. When I realized that, my grip tightened on the edge of my desk. Even breathing felt painful. “I’m not picking a fight. You’re right. I won’t try to control you anymore. It doesn’t matter to me if you settle down.” I had just finished speaking when I saw Edgar rubbing his temple. He shrugged and leaned back against the chair, looking impatient. “It’s common in the industry for us to have mistresses and lovers.“Mr. Albert’s and Mr. Johnson’s wives aren’t jealous like you. Did I deprive you of money?“If you’re a little like Lana, and you know your place, I wouldn’t find you this annoying.” I heard the same phrase many times in the past five years. Five years ago, everyone knew how passionately he pursued me. I

When I got home, it was completely dark outside. The door was ajar, and I saw that the living room was a mess. The family portrait was thrown onto the floor, and Charlie was drawing on it. He had cut me out of the photo with scissors. He kept mumbling, “If Lana were here, it’d be great.” In the past, I would have probably lectured him. However, I ignored it and walked past him. Edgar heard me come in and looked up from the couch. He looked a little annoyed. “Why are you home so late? No one’s cooked dinner yet, and Charlie’s very hungry.” I paused in my tracks and swept my gaze over Edgar and Charlie. In the past five years, no matter how late I worked or how tired I was, I would make them dinner when I got home. I would also clean the house and do the laundry. “There are leftovers in the fridge from last night. You can microwave it to heat it up.” I grimaced mockingly. “Don’t you know how to do that?” Edgar widened his eyes slightly and gaped. Then, he quic

I sat in the living room for the entire night. At dawn, I found a slightly yellowed prenup in one of the drawers. Edgar had signed the agreement. I rubbed the edge of the page. The end date of the agreement was next month. After that fight, Edgar and Charlie did not come home for some time. I also had a lot of surgeries to tend to. I did not want to return to that cold and empty house. Hence, I rented a house outside, and I did not return home either. I contacted a divorce lawyer to draft our divorce agreement. In fact, after my mother passed away, I should have already drafted the divorce agreement. However, I wanted a home. I was also infatuated with Edgar. It turned out that giving up was not as difficult as I thought it would be. Initially, I thought things would proceed smoothly. That was until an academic lecture a month later. The huge hall was extremely quiet. Someone kicked the door open. Lana had tears in her eyes. She ignored the security guards

Due to the incident, Edgar sent me a text message. [It’s my fault. Lana and I got into a fight, so I told her to abort the child out of anger.][I didn’t expect her to believe my words and lash out at you. I’m sorry.][After she gives birth to the baby, I’ll clear it up with the media. You have to bear with it in the meantime.]Immediately after, he transferred a huge sum of money to me. I gripped the phone so tightly that my knuckles turned white. Thanks to their fight, my reputation was ruined, and I lost my job. I could not erase that memory from my mind. In the end, I gave up and lost my courage to fight for what I deserved. After all, he no longer loved me. Lana would always be his priority. Since that was the case, I would give them my blessings. I booked my flight ticket and completed all procedures to migrate. The only things left were that prenup and the broken pieces of my bracelet at home. When I reached home, a party was in full swing.There were man

Edgar watched my departure with a complicated expression. After Charlie threw a tantrum, he could not help but chase after me a little when he saw me leaving.However, he stopped at the door. He clenched his teeth and whispered to Edgar, “Daddy, is Mommy going to come back?”Edgar forced a smile and patted Charlie’s head.“Don’t worry, your mother has a hot temper. She’ll come back in no time. By then, you should just apologize to her, and she’ll be fine.” Edgar suddenly felt insecure after he said that. As he stared at the blood on the floor, he felt his heart sinking. As for Charlie, he was no longer upset after hearing what his father said. He started laughing again. Edgar took out his phone and sent me a text message. [It’s Charlie’s birthday today. His classmates are around. Be good and don’t embarrass him.][After his classmates leave, you may come back.]After he sent me these two text messages, he transferred another sum of money to me. All these years, he

With Lana’s presence, Charlie’s birthday party was a success. Edgar and Charlie forgot what had happened earlier.It was not until the birthday party was over that Edgar remembered me. He pulled out his phone, expecting a text message from me. However, the conversation had stopped at the text message he sent. Not only did I not send him any text messages, but I also did not call him at all. I also returned him the money that he transferred to me. Edgar clenched his phone, unsure whether he was upset or angry. He suddenly felt as if he had lost control of me, so much so that I did not even take his money. Was I still angry?Just when Edgar was deep in thought, Lana held his arm. “Edgar, let’s head to bed early. I’m still pregnant after all.”Edgar came back to his senses and nodded slightly. “Tomorrow, let’s go to the hospital for another check-up.”“Isn’t our check-up scheduled for the following week? Why are we bringing it forward?” Lana was confused. Edgar pur

When he reached the hospital, Edgar disregarded the fact that Lana was still pregnant as he quickly got out of the car and sprinted toward my office. He opened the door, yet he saw a stranger. “Do you have an appointment?”I always had a photo of the three of us on my desk. However, this desk did not have that photo displayed. Edgar’s lips were quivering slightly. “I’m here to look for Violet.”Even though I was suspended due to what happened at the talk last time, I was not completely fired. Edgar thought that it was just a normal suspension. Besides, he had already called the hospital to have them let me resume my work after a one-week suspension. The other doctor said indifferently, “Dr. Reid has resigned.” Edgar was shocked when he heard that. “Why would she resign?”“After the hospital lifted her suspension, she resigned.” Edgar’s legs almost gave out. He had heard over the phone earlier what Sam told him about me preparing for a divorce. Then, he found out

Edgar’s clarification became viral online. Those netizens who scolded me for allegedly being a homewrecker also changed their stances. [I didn’t expect that the other woman was the homewrecker instead.][He’s not even willing to clear his wife’s name after having an affair. A divorce is exactly what he deserves.]The netizens who scolded me before all apologized to me. [You’re the one who didn’t do anything wrong.]After seeing those comments, I let out a sigh of relief. I managed to fix the bracelet that Charlie had broken.When Edgar came to see me, I was standing before my mother’s grave. He held Charlie’s hand as they walked toward me. “Violet, it’s over between Lana and me. Let’s go home.” Charlie stepped forward to hold my hand. “Mommy, let’s go home.” Over the past years, Charlie would sometimes call me by my name instead of “Mommy,” as if I were a stranger. It was the first time he was on such good behavior. I stared at them calmly as I sneered, “I saw w
