Nathan saw my hesitation and remained
silent, just quietly supporting me.
He occasionally visited my home.
Eventually, even my parents urged me to
accept him.
But Nathan wasn’t in a hurry, instead, he
asked if I wanted to go on a trip abroad.
I had been so busy since I returned, I hadn’t
had a break.
So I agreed.
Nathan was overjoyed, immediately starting
on the visa.
After getting the visas, we set a date for the
trip.
Just before the trip, an unexpected person
contacted me.

I arrived at the cafe, but only Linda Claire was
there.

She calmly tossed the divorce papers onto
the table.
“Gregory and I are divorced.”
I was surprised.
They were so inseparable, even showing their
affection at my bedside before I died.
It had only been months, and they divorced.
I raised an eyebrow, “What about your child?”
Linda Claire frowned, impatient.
“That burden, I gave him back to his father.”
“Gregory is useless, all talk, he can’t even
afford a handbag for me.”
“I found a European nobleman, I’m flying to
Europe with him next week. Bethany, it
doesn’t matter that your family is richer than
mine, I still won.”
I understood; she wanted to show off.
I congratulated her and left.
Talking to someone like her was a waste of
my time.

my time.
She and Gregory were similar, both selfish.
For Linda Claire, the child was merely a tool
to manipulate Gregory, to get money.
Gregory was penniless; the tool was no longer
useful.
Soon after leaving the cafe, Gregory called,
unexpectedly.
As soon as I answered, he asked,
“Did she tell you everything?”

Before I could respond, Gregory’s voice
became agitated,
“Bethany, I was wrong, that child wasn’t mine!
Liam isn’t my son! I did a paternity test, he’s
not my son!”
“I was a fool, I did it for her… But Bethany,
it’s okay, I’ve had a vasectomy reversal. When
I’m better, let’s remarry, okay?”
“Have a child with me, okay? Bethany, I know
<
you still love me, don’t you! I love you too,
let’s remarry!”
I pursed my lips and laughed.
The truth was even more ridiculous than I’d
imagined.
Because of Linda Claire’s selfishness,
Gregory foolishly kept his promise, ruining
himself and my life.
Thinking back, Gregory’s past life was
perhaps worse than mine.
I coldly interrupted Gregory.
“Gregory, I don’t love you. Find someone who
loves you and will have children with you.”
I hung up and blocked Gregory.
At that moment, Nathan messaged me.
[Were you on a call? Couldn’t get through.

I started a video call, seeing Nathan’s slightly.

He’d clearly been troubled.
Ivy smile deepened.
“Nathan, come pick me up, okay?“.
