Chapter 1

Ezra's POV"The child is three years old?" My voice came out hoarse, as if I had to force every word past my throat.Clover Sorrell said nothing. There wasn't even a hint of guilt on her face."When my father died, you told me your flight had been delayed. So all that time, you were off sleeping with Zander?"Clover and I had been together for seven years, but we still hadn't gotten married.Even in his final moments, my father had kept looking hopefully toward the hospital room door. I knew he was worried about me. I'd thought it was just an unfortunate accident. After all, flight delays were beyond anyone's control.But now, Clover was telling me that on that very day, she'd slept with Zander Carlson. And the child had been conceived around that time.My bitter, scornful stare made Clover frown.She instinctively snapped at me, "Watch your language, Ezra Kane! I was just doing Zander a favor. I wanted to help him fulfill a wish. He doesn't even like me that way. He's not goin

Chapter 2

Ezra's POVThe moment I finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.Clover froze for a second before stepping forward and grabbing my hand.She said, "Okay, your tantrum has gone overboard. We've already sent out the wedding invitations. Everyone knows we're getting married, and now you're saying we're calling it off? Your mother is still looking forward to attending your wedding. Have you considered how she'll feel hearing you say this, Ezra Kane?"When I remained silent, Clover grew increasingly irritable. "Fine, alright. I get it. How about this? After the wedding, I'll spend three days a week taking care of the child with Zander, and the other four days with you. That should be enough, right?"Her expression was dripping with condescension, as if she were doing me some enormous favor. She was so certain I'd eagerly accept her offer.The mutual friends around us seemed to approve of her wholeheartedly. A flicker of jealousy crossed Zander's eyes.I couldn't help finding t

Chapter 3

Ezra's POVWhen I arrived at the house we'd prepared for our wedding, I stared at the "Just Married" banner pasted on the front door. I reached out and gently peeled it off.The entire house had been decorated for the occasion. There were balloons and flowers everywhere.When I'd arranged all of this, I'd imagined bringing Clover home as my bride and giving her the very best of everything.Now, I threw it all away, piece by piece, along with every gift she'd ever given me.As I sorted through everything, I realized just how pitifully few gifts Clover had given me over the years. Not only were there barely any, but most of them had been freebies.I'd seen the genuine versions of those very same items all over Zander's social media.All these years, I'd been blinded by what I thought was love. I'd somehow ended up being neither a proper lover nor someone she even loved.After I finished clearing everything out, I received a call from Clover's mother, Harriet Clark.As usual, her

Chapter 4

Ezra's POVThe moment I answered the phone, I heard Mom choking back tears. "Ezra, what's going on between you and Clover? Haven't you two been together for seven years? Why is someone saying you're the other man? "They also said that Clover married someone else and that they already have a three-year-old child!"Tell me the truth. What happened between you and Clover? Weren't you supposed to get married tomorrow?"The more Mom spoke, the harder she cried. My heart ached so badly that my fingers began to tremble.I replied in a hoarse voice, "Mom, I didn't do anything wrong. I've been with Clover for seven years, but she kept this from me…"I couldn't bring myself to finish my sentence.On the other end of the line, Mom seemed to hear all the pain I was holding inside. "I know my boy would never do something like that. Forget the wedding. Come home. I'll cook you something."Choking back tears, I agreed.As soon as I hung up, the tears I'd been holding back finally spilled ov

Chapter 5

Third-Person POVClover shot to her feet.She exclaimed incredulously, "How could Ezra be in Maxend? Today's our wedding day! Are you sure you didn't mistake him for someone else?"Her face looked dreadfully ashen. Although she kept questioning what she'd heard, panic had seized her heart.Remembering how Ezra had walked away without a second thought the day before, she frowned hard.Their mutual friend responded awkwardly, "Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me. But the person in the photo looks so much like Ezra! And since he still hasn't shown up at the wedding after all this time, I just thought…"He trailed off and never finished his sentence. Clover had such a nasty scowl on her face that he didn't dare continue.She snatched the phone from him. The moment she took a good look at the photo, all the color drained from her face.After being together for so many years, Clover recognized Ezra instantly. There was no mistaking him!Today was supposed to be their wedding day,

Chapter 6

Third-Person POVZander pressed a hand to his cheek, feeling utterly bewildered. He couldn't believe Clover had just slapped him.Before he could even voice his grievance, Clover roared at him furiously, "Are you really that desperate? I've already given you a child, a marriage certificate, and even acknowledged you as my husband! And you still want to take this wedding away from Ezra!"Because of you, I couldn't even invite more guests. The wedding I'd originally promised Ezra has been reduced to this. Even so, you still refuse to leave him alone! Now, you want to take this away from him too!"As her words fell, Clover slapped Zander hard across the face again.Zander's eyes reddened. He looked at Clover with an expression full of hurt.He said, "Clover, I was only thinking about your best interests. Everyone is already here, but Ezra left you behind and went abroad. It's obvious he has no intention of coming back. I just didn't want you to be upset over this, so I thought I'd t

Chapter 7

Third-Person POV Zander had deliberately left himself some room to wiggle around by saying that the divorce would be temporary.Of course, Clover caught on immediately. Even so, she didn't bother correcting him.Even she wasn't sure how she wanted to handle these two relationships anymore.One thing, however, was certain—as long as Ezra was willing to come back, she was willing to get a marriage certificate with him.Having made up her mind, Clover started making phone calls as she left the wedding venue. She had to find Ezra as quickly as possible and arrange another grand wedding for them.Their mutual friends at the venue exchanged awkward glances. Not one of them dared look Zander in the eye.Eventually, someone broke the silence. One by one, everyone began leaving the venue.A gust of wind knocked over a flimsy, cheap flower stand, jolting Zander out of his thoughts. He clenched his teeth, and his eyes burned with resentment.Zander seethed, "You'd better not come back,

Chapter 8

Third-Person POVAfter hearing her words, Arthur grew even angrier. His face turned livid, and his fingers trembled uncontrollably.He fumed, "You… You've lost your mind! Are you planning to bankrupt Sorrell Group over a man? Bring Zander back immediately and make things right with him! Otherwise, you can forget about keeping your position as CEO of Sorrell Group!"Arthur issued an ultimatum, but Clover wasn't the least bit afraid. After all these years, she'd firmly established herself as the head of Sorrell Group. No one could force her out.In the past, she would have been willing to put on an act just to appease Arthur whenever he got so worked up.But things were different now. She still needed Sorrell Group's resources to find Ezra. And until she found him, she wasn't leaving the company no matter what Arthur said!With that thought, Clover's expression turned cold. "Dad, you're getting old. You don't need to worry about Sorrell Group. I'll handle everything. Just stay home

Chapter 9

Ezra's POVI'd once poured countless hours and effort into trying to get a job at Vinius Corporation. But because of Clover, I'd eventually given up on that dream.This time, I'd moved abroad without submitting a single job application. So why had I received an interview invitation?Even though this was a job offer I'd always dreamed of, I couldn't help feeling uneasy. But soon enough, someone from Vinius Corporation showed up at my door.To my surprise, it was Winona Lowery, my senior from college!Standing at the doorway, Winona smiled at me. "Aren't you going to invite me in, Ezra?"Only then did I snap out of my daze and hurriedly usher her inside. "How did you know I was here?"Winona looked at me in confusion. "Your current address was on the résumé you submitted."The résumé I'd submitted?My eyes widened in disbelief.Just then, Mom spoke up from behind me, "I submitted it for you. That day, when you were looking at your laptop, I saw it. I knew you were hesitating, s

Chapter 10

Ezra's POVOne evening, I hurriedly prepared to head home as soon as working hours ended. The next day was my day off, and I planned to visit Mom at the rehabilitation center.But just as I stepped outside the building, a familiar figure caught my eye.It was Clover.In just two short months, she'd become terribly haggard. Even the long, flowy dresses she used to love no longer seemed to fit her properly.I gave her one cursory glance before turning to head upstairs.But Clover, whose eyes were red from crying, stepped in front of me to block my way. "Ezra… I've finally found you…" As soon as she spoke, tears began streaming down her cheeks.It was the middle of winter, and delicate snowflakes were falling from the sky.However, she was wearing nothing but a long dress and a thin coat. Her hands and feet had already turned bluish from the cold.In the past, I would have taken off my coat right away and wrapped it around her. I couldn't bear to see her suffer in the slightest
