โItโs me.โI heard a gentle voice, soothing in the darkness.The bedside lamp clicked on, casting a warm, golden glow over his face.It was Miles.I wiped my face in a daze, only to realize it was covered in tears.Without a word, Miles stood up, fetched a warm towel, and carefully wiped my face.โYou had a nightmare. You were crying the whole time.โI asked, โDid I say anything?โHe gazed at me deeply. โI heard you calling for your parentsโฆ and your brother.โA lump formed in my throat.So, it really had just been a dream.Miles studied my expression. โAre you feeling better now?โI nodded, but a sense of emptiness lingered.After a moment of silence, I suddenly asked, โMiles, you knew the White family cut ties with me, didnโt you?โHis hand paused for a brief second. Then, after a long moment, he responded with a quiet โMm.โI let out a bitter laugh. โNone of you told me.โHis expression remained calm. โTelling you wouldnโt have changed anything. People have to keep moving forward.โ

I lowered my head, avoiding his gaze. Miles suddenly asked, โKira and Trey came today?โ I was stunned. I hadnโt expected him to bring that up. I nodded. He asked, โDid they say anything unpleasant to you?โ I shook my head. โReally?โ he pressed. I shook my head again. Miles studied me for a long moment before finally responding with a simple, โAlright. Go upstairs and rest.โ I hesitated, standing there, the words I had been rehearsing all afternoon suddenly stuck in my throat. Noticing I hadnโt moved, Miles turned back. โWhatโs wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Or do you have something to tell me?โ I quickly shook my head. โNo, nothing. Itโs nothing.โ With that, I hurried upstairs. Just as I reached the stairs, his voice rang out behind me. โDonโt listen to anything Kira says. And as for Trey, just ignore him.โ I nodded absentmindedly. Then he added, โOnce Iโve finished dealing with things tomorrow, Iโll arrange for you to stay somewhere else.โ I froze. Mi

Dolly quickly comforted me. โEve, donโt be upset. Family bonds run deep. Once you divorce Julian and reclaim whatโs rightfully yours, you can reach out to your parents and your brother. โIf you sincerely apologize, theyโll surely forgive you.โA glimmer of hope sparked in my heart. โDo you really think so?โ โOf course! No matter what, youโre still their daughter. Your parents are getting older, and your brother only has you as his sister.โThey were probably just disappointed in you before. If you show them youโve changed, theyโll forgive you.โ Her words gave me a little confidence. She was right. My parents and brother had loved and spoiled me when I was younger. They couldnโt possibly abandon me for good. As long as I cut ties with Julian, they would forgive me. Even if they didnโt forgive me immediately, at least they wouldnโt completely sever our relationship. Family bonds could be repaired over time, but this marriageโI had to end it as soon as possible. Dolly a

He smirked, his expression unreadable. โIf she really does become my sister-in-law, now that would be interesting.โKira fumed. โTrey, can you seriously tolerate someone like her stepping into the Wynn family?โHe glanced at her. โWhy? Are you jealous?โKira quickly covered up. โNo! Thatโs not what I meant. I just think someone like Evelyn is trashโwho would want her?!โTreyโs smirk deepened. โI donโt think sheโs trash. In fact, I think sheโs quite interesting.โKira was so furious she couldnโt even find the words to respond.Then, as if a thought suddenly struck her, she narrowed her eyes. โWaitโฆ donโt tell me you have an interest in her too?โInstead of answering, Trey lazily gestured for the group of young women nearby to come over.With sweet giggles, they skipped toward him, their voices soft and flirtatious.Whatever they whispered in his ear made him chuckle. He casually pulled two of them into his arms and planted playful kisses on each of their cheeks.The tennis court filled

This apartment was in the prime district of Riverdaleโs CBD, surrounded by hospitals, banks, and supermarkets.More importantly, its interior design matched my taste perfectlyโsimple, modern, with sleek, designer furniture. The sofa and dining set were brand new, their stylish aesthetic effortlessly blending with the space.After wandering through the apartment, I sprawled out on the massive king-sized bed and called Dolly.The line was busy.I muttered, โSheโs really swamped.โJust then, my phone rangโit was Miles.I quickly answered, โHello? Miles?โHis crisp, steady voice came through the line. โSean told me youโve set your sights on the high-rise apartment?โโYeah. Everything here is so convenient. Even if I get hungry in the middle of the night, I wouldnโt need to order takeoutโthere are restaurants just a short walk away.โ Then I hesitated before adding, โMiles, let me rent this place from you, okay? I have the money now.โThere was a pause on the other end.โRent?โ His voice c

His voice was slow, deliberate. โEvelyn, can we not get a divorce?โFor a second, I thought I had misheard.I hadnโt even responded when Julian spoke again, his tone both weary and frustrated. โEvelyn, letโs talk this through properly. Donโt treat divorce like a joke.โI remained silent.Sensing my lack of response, he pressed on. โI admit that I married you out of spite back then, but weโve been through five years together. Weโve weathered storms. Why canโt we justโฆ stay married?โHis voice softened, filled with a kind of forced tenderness. โEve, I know Iโve let you down in many ways. But stop this, okay? Come back.โI hung up.Then, without hesitation, I blocked the number.I calmly walked back upstairs, looking at the piles of untouched luxury goods scattered around the room.Pulling out my phone, I downloaded the resale app Dolly had recommended. One by one, I took pictures of everything and listed them for sale.At eighteen, I wanted a passionate, all-consuming love.At twenty-fi

I forced a smile. โThank you.โMiles nudged the menu toward me. โDo you want to pick something you like?โI glanced at the menu, realizing it was all in a foreign language. I awkwardly admitted, โI canโt read it.โโThereโs an English menu.โThe restaurant manager, as if performing a magic trick, swiftly produced one.I took a look and could sort of understand it.Miles noticed my struggle and chuckled. โStill having trouble?โFeeling embarrassed, I sighed. โMy brainโฆ only remembers high school-level English.โLosing seven years of memories meant I had also lost all the knowledge I gained in college.Right now, I was just dumb and clueless, but not in an endearing way.Miles gave a small nod. โThat was my oversight.โJust as we were speaking, a couple walked in, their arms linked, heading in our direction.The moment I saw them, my expression stiffened. Without thinking, I grabbed the menu and used it to shield my face.The couple spotted me as well. They froze at first, then hesitat

"Youโ!" Chloe lost her composure, but quickly reined herself in.This was a public setting, and more importantly, Miles was here.They still had enough sense not to lash out at me so recklessly in front of him.The atmosphere turned tense again, thick with unspoken hostility.No one spoke this time, not until the food began arriving.Miles casually took my plate of lamb chops and, with precise, unhurried movements, cut the meat into neat, bite-sized pieces before sliding the dish back to me.I looked at the sizzling, juicy lamb and grinned. โThanks, Miles.โJulian suddenly spoke, his tone laced with irritation. โEve doesnโt like lamb.โMiles raised an eyebrow. โOh?โJulianโs expression was firm. โI was married to her for five years. I know exactly what she likes. She hates lamb.โWithout a word, I picked up my fork, speared a piece of lamb, and popped it into my mouth.Then I turned to Miles and said, โI love lamb. I always have.โHis gaze softened with quiet amusement. โI know. Your b

The moment I saw that elegant, refined face, so striking it felt almost divine, every bit of the frustration Iโd buried surged to the surface.Without a second thought, I rushed into his arms. โMiles!โWarmth enveloped me, and the familiar clean scent of pine wrapped around my senses. My eyes stung instantly.Miles lowered his head, chuckling softly. โWhatโs wrong? You look like a little bunny with those red eyes.โFeeling embarrassed, I gave his chest a light smack. โWhy are you here?โHe studied my face carefully, then gently brushed his fingers across my cheek. โI heard someone was picking on my darling, so I came running.โThat warmth spread through my chest, overflowing, making it hard to hold back tears.He leaned down, his voice low in my ear. โDonโt cry, silly girl.โThen he straightened and looked around the room.His gaze passed over Sarah and Dolly, finally landing on Julian.Julian instinctively straightened his back.He stepped forward, voice laced with sarcasm. โWhat brin

I turned to Sarah with an apologetic expression. โIโm sorry, Miss Care. It seems Iโm not in a position to work with your company until I sort out my personal matters.โSarah shook her head regretfully. โPlease donโt apologize. Our company is moving forward with expansion this year. Weโve already allocated the available investment slots. If you decide not to investโฆ weโll have to open the opportunity to others.โShe gave me a sympathetic look. โIโm sorry, Miss White. But once this window closes, there will be no further opportunity.โI offered a bitter smile and nodded. โI understand.โDolly was so angry, she could barely hold back a choked sob. โThat shameless bastardโฆ absolutely shameless!โI squeezed her hand, silently telling her it was time to go.Julian stepped in front of us, blocking the way. His expression was conflicted, and when he spoke, his voice was softer than Iโd ever heard it.โEve, maybe we can talk this through.โโJulian, youโฆ youโre still not done?โ Chloeโs voice r

The moment I heard those words, a rush of blood surged to my head.My ears rang, and that all-too-familiar wave of dizziness came crashing back.I barely registered Dolly's voice rising in fury. โJulian Moore, do you have no shame? You really dare say that was marital property?! Eve paid for it herself! Youโฆ you're absolutely disgusting!โI could barely stay on my feet, the world tilting around me.โDollyโฆ Iโฆโ I whispered weakly.She quickly caught me and helped me sit down.I took a few deep breaths to steady myself, then looked up at Julian. And for a split second, though maybe it was the dizziness playing tricks on me, I thought I saw a flicker of concern flash through his eyes.Sarah noticed something was off and immediately stepped in. โMiss White, donโt worry. We can take this slowly.โI fought to calm my pounding heart and spoke, voice steady but cold. โWhat exactly is it that you want, Mr. Moore?โJulian hesitated for a moment, but soon the polished businessman returned to his

She was the one with the real foresight, not me. But now, just to help me leave a good impression on Sarah, she gave me all the credit.Sarah looked at me and smiled thoughtfully. โTurns out people really can change. To be honest, three years ago, I didnโt have the best impression of you, Miss White.โI felt a twinge of guilt. โWas I arrogant back then? Iโm sorryโฆโShe shook her head. โNo, it wasnโt arrogance. It wasโฆ well, your reputation at the time. Letโs just say it wasnโt great. โWithin our team, your sponsorship actually stirred up a lot of debate. Some people felt it wasnโt a good look to accept money from someone with such a controversial name.โI cringed. โAh... I see.โShe went on. โBut others argued that if someone had the money and was willing to help us through a rough patch, weโd be fools not to take it.โThe discomfort on my face deepened.So even a struggling little startup like Elmwood had once hesitated to take my money. My reputation back then mustโve really been

The moment Julian spoke, Chloe broke into even louder sobs, tears streaming down her cheeks like a porcelain doll cracked beyond repair.Dolly gave a cold laugh, then tugged my arm. โCome on. This place is suffocating.โWe turned to leave.โWait!โ Julian called out.I stopped and glanced back, frowning.He looked like he wanted to warn me and say something sharp but seemed to realize this wasnโt the time or place.In the end, all he could manage was, โEve, donโt take it out on Chloe. Think about the baby.โI gave a short, cold laugh. โThe baby? Whose baby?โHis face flushed, then paled. โEve, donโt be so... unreasonableโฆโThe last word came out weak and guilty.I smiled. If Julian had changed at all since I lost my memory, this was itโheโd gone from brazenly cheating and blaming me to fumbling through half-hearted defenses, too ashamed to even meet my eyes.I didnโt bother wasting another second on him. โMr. Moore, instead of lecturing me, maybe ask your precious Chloe why she came al

Chloe was caught off guard by his words, staring at Julian with a wounded look.But his eyes werenโt on her.I saw her bite her lip hard, then shoot me a bitter, venomous glance.I almost laughed and turned my attention back to the runway....Elmwoodโs show was a complete success. When Sarah stepped onstage for her closing remarks, the applause lasted well over ten minutes.A swarm of reporters rushed forward for interviews, while the invited sponsors were led by staff into a backstage lounge to rest.Dolly and I took a seat and chatted about the standout pieces weโd captured on our phones.She was just as experienced as I was in the industry, but unlike me, Dolly was passionate about fashion design since she was a kid. She even self-studied design courses back in college.It was her eye and enthusiasm back then that convinced me to sponsor Elmwoodโs first brand show.Now that the company was gaining momentum, no one was happier than her.We were deep in discussion when a shadow appe

Seeing that Iโd achieved what I wanted, I immediately agreed.Just as I was about to turn away, I remembered something and said to Sarah, โBy the way, Iโm no longer Mrs. Moore. My nameโs Evelyn White. You can call me Eve, or Miss White.โSarah froze. โWait, whatโฆ?โHer assistant quickly leaned in and whispered a few words into her ear.Sarahโs expression shifted instantly.Her eyes filled with sympathy as she looked at me.She took my hand and sighed. โMrs.โI mean, Miss White, I admire your courage.โJust then, she turned and caught sight of Julian and Chloe approaching. Her expression instantly soured.โWhatโs that scumbag doing here? And with her, no lessโฆโI stepped in before it escalated. โLetโs catch up after the show, Sarah.โWith that, I turned and made my way back to my seat.Behind me, I heard Julianโs overly polite voice. โMiss Care, the setup of your show is quite impressive.โChloe chimed in sweetly, trying to please. โMiss Care, I heard your designs have won international

Julian froze.From the look on his face, he clearly had no idea what this brand show was actually about. As for ChloeโฆI glanced at her and, sure enough, caught the flicker of guilt in her eyes.Julian turned to her, frowning. โWhatโs going on?โChloe looked timid and unsure. โJulian, are you upset with me? I really donโt know whatโs going on either. It was Mr. Watson who told me a company-sponsored fashion event had invited us to come take a look.โTears gathered in her eyes. โYou know how much I love fashion and art events... I didnโt realize there was anything out of the ordinary.โHer explanation wiped the irritation clean off Julianโs face.He softened. โAlright, Iโm not blaming you. I justโฆ never mind. This isnโt your fault.โThen he turned to me with a sharp glare, clearly annoyed. โEvelyn, what exactly do you want?โAs he spoke, he tugged uncomfortably at the collar of his tie.I noticed more and more guests arriving, and I said coolly, โIโm just letting you know that this bra

The hostess paused for a second, then quickly adjusted with a smile. "Of course, Miss White. Miss Jones, please follow me. Our founder and a few directors are over this way."โWell, well, no longer Mrs. Moore? That was fast. Wasnโt it just a while ago someone couldnโt stop flaunting the fact that she was Mrs. Moore?โA mocking voice rang out.I turned around sharply, my expression darkening.Chloe stood there in a loose-fitting dress, carefully shielding her baby bump. Her arm was looped through Julianโs.And the one whoโd made the snide comment was Rossie.Rossie stood beside Chloe, eyeing me from head to toe with thinly veiled smugness.Chloeโs eyes flickered the moment she saw me. She quickly leaned into Julianโs chest, all delicate and helpless."Julian, why didnโt you tell me Miss White would be here?" she asked sweetly.Julian clearly hadnโt expected me either. His brows furrowed. "What are you doing here?"I frowned. "The better question isโwhat are you doing here? I donโt rec
