Amanda's POV.I had just taken a seat with Ruth when Nathan sat down across from me. I looked around and was a little speechless: "There are empty seats all around here, do you have to sit across from me?"His eyes moved down and stopped on top of my cake: "Pregnant women eating things with excessive sugar content is bad for their health, don't you know that?"The frequency of encountering him these days is really outrageous, especially when he comes to interfere with my life again and again ......It's not that I find this tiresome, but I'm getting used to living without him now, and his constant presence only interrupts my plans and destroys the habits I'm trying to develop.I sighed: "Can you stop interfering with me? We're divorced, and even if we weren't, you wouldn't have said so much to me before.His eyes darkened, I couldn't see his expression, all the emotions were hidden under his silence. I don't know how long this silence lasted, but he suddenly said, "You used to ......
Amanda's POV. The sound of the water stopped, the bathroom door opened, someone with a burst of moist heat jolted me out of my drowsiness, and I struggled to open my eyes, the light overhead was blindingly bright. How did I get here? It seems like ...... I was in a banquet and I was drunk, and then what? My blurred consciousness recognized that this was probably one of the hotel's premium suites, and the entire room was fitted with at least two dozen lights, illuminating the room as if it were day. I had a splittin headache, my body was pulsing with heat, and I vaguely heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom. I groaned and tried to sit up, but I couldn't even lift my hands, my body had no strength, I tried to breathe, but my breath was burning and made me dizzy. So hot ...... I fumbled with my skirt, but how could I not remember whether my skirt was buttoned or zipped up, I just felt I was so hot and wanted to take my clothes off. Water vapor's body covered up on me,
Amanda's POV.The fatigue made me drowsy, and I was about to sleep a little longer in his arms when Nathan suddenly opened his eyes, he woke up with a somewhat confused expression, and immediately reverted to his usual cold look after seeing my face.This change also made my heart sting slightly.Nathan was only passionate when he made love to me, we were so in tune with each other in bed that every time I was held in his arms I had the feeling that we loved each other deeply.But after waking up as if he strip away all the feelings, last night's ambiguous atmosphere was swept away. He did not say a word to me, he withdrew his hand on my waist, last night's passion, lust are like a tidal wave faded, he did not say anything, stood up and mercilessly rolled out of bed to pick up the shirt thrown on the floor, I can only see his upright back. I felt a little down when he suddenly left me. The ambiguous atmosphere of last night was swept away as he stood up and he then went to the bathroo
Amanda's POV.The incident made me very frustrated, but I still picked myself up and messaged Nathan, saying to him that I would wait for him for dinner, as is customary.The text message I sent this afternoon never got a reply.I was a little distracted and cut my finger on the knife while chopping vegetables, and the maid came to take the knife from my hand: "Madam, you go rest, I'll do it here."I shook my head, making dinner for Nathan was one of my few hobbies, and although he rarely came home for dinner, it had become a habit of mine that I didn't want to let anyone else replace. I wanted him to eat food that I had made with my own hands, and for us to sit at a table and maybe ...... occasionally be able to talk about the day and our experiences. Of course, it was all a fantasy of mine; Nathan never brought up his work or life at the dinner table.The sound of the door opening rang out in the foyer, and like a rabbit hearing movement, I wiped my hands on my apron and rushed out.
Amanda's POV.Nancy spoke to me for a while and I left. I couldn't concentrate at work this whole day. Just after work, Kate called me and told me she was waiting for me downstairs.Kate was my best friend and the only one who knew that Nathan and I were married by agreement. I hurried downstairs and found her waving at me from her car.I hurriedly got into the car and had just pulled my seat belt when she pulled a card out of her purse: "Here, take it, it's 600,000 dollars."My heart tightened, looked at her carefully, and my eyes widened: "You sold the necklace!"Kate's most precious thing is her ex-boyfriend's necklace, her ex-boyfriend is a top playboy, this is also considered Kate's breakup fee, but Kate has always insisted that she dumped him. Normally Kate loves the necklace so much I didn't think she would sell it ......In order to raise this money, my mother has sold the family property, only her small house in the suburb, I have tried many ways to get money, and even went
Amanda's POV.Nathan emerges from the bathroom, his body wet and still damp with moisture, his abs well-defined, droplets of water running down the lines of his abs. ,I suddenly felt resigned again.Even if you think about it, he will belong to someone else. The thought of it all tormented me appeared in my mind.Nathan bent down and kissed me on the cheek with a light expression: "What's on your mind?"I shook my head and forced a smile: "Nothing."Nathan shrugged and picked me up, and I thought sadly that this was probably the whole day when we were most like husband and wife.All night he fucked me passionately and tirelessly, making me scream and come as I came so many times that by the end my body was so soft I was unconscious, and in the darkness he enthusiastically, unlike his usual self, gathered my trembling body in his arms. Absently, he kissed my eyes."There's something different about you today He suddenly said.I nodded my head mindlessly and nonsensically, and now when
Amanda's POV.The angle made it impossible for me to see his expression,I lost my temper too quickly, and waited until I couldn't see his face before my mood snapped to a calm.Did I just ...... act too grumpy? Although his tone of commanding me made me uncomfortable, but maybe he was concerned about me?But how could that be? Thinking about what he just said, I felt very frustrated again.He was only doing it so that I could do what would satisfy him during the agreement, and he didn't accept that I couldn't have my own way of thinking. I felt very frustrated thinking about what he had just said. But he obviously cares, and that he came back today with me in his arms.But what about him? Why should he be able to keep me from being satisfied? Would it kill him to be nice to me? Is it that hard for him?But ...... he's Nathan.When I think of him, I think of those sweet teenage things that I longed for him and followed him throughout my school years. If, and I mean if, he's willing to s
Amanda's POV.I've never felt so stupid. Every day for the past three years, Nathan has been all perfunctory with me, and I keep convincing myself that he's not naturally talkative or smiley, and today I finally learned that he can talk to people at dinner and be willing to wear a little light smile.Just not to me.My mind was in turmoil, and I have to admit that I left Nathan's house to try to calm myself down quickly as well.The next day, Raymond called me and wanted me to meet his daughter, Ruth.I went to the appointment early in the morning. Ruth, a very pretty little girl, had been concentrating on her painting with oil brushes and didn't look up when she saw me coming, as if she had been immersed in her own world.I took the initiative to say hello: "Hello, Ruth." Ruth raised her head this time, but only tilted her head, and did not greet me, her clear big eyes looked at me, her eyes focused on my face and looked at me for a long time, before nodding.Raymond smile a little

Nathan's POV.I was relieved when I picked her up, the irritation and worry that had been surrounding me dissipating as she sat in the convenience store, frozen and unsure of where to look.I let out the breath that had been pent up in my heart and slowly relaxed my clenched fingers.She really doesn't see men well, she lost contact for so long, and the man named Raymond didn't go looking for her, instead he was still bugging the front desk. Could the receptionist have called her back?"Where did she last get off the bus?" I just couldn't listen to this and walked over quickly, I really didn't bother to ask for clarification one by one, and I think Raymond probably couldn't answer either.His concern for Amanda always seemed to be undemonstrated.In other words, he didn't seem to care about Amanda.Raymond looked stunned when he saw me, frowned, and eventually told me where she got off. I instructed my assistant a few words, went to that road to look for her, called numerous times alo
Amanda's POV.Nathan was too smart, I was afraid that if I said two more words, he would notice, and found an excuse to take Ruth away. Fortunately, Ruth also tired of swimming, obediently nodded and left with me. I didn't dare to look Nathan in the eye again, I always felt like he was staring at me from behind.It was lunchtime when I returned to the room, and I took Ruth to the restaurant with Raymond, who always has a special taste when eating lately. I remember when you were studying, you always liked something sweet, you don't seem to like these flavors much?"I smiled awkwardly, thinking that Nathan was also on the cruise ship and could be found at any moment ...... I took a deep breath and was full of apologies, "I'm very sorry, Raymond, I have to confess something to you. I'm pregnant and the baby is Nathan's, but for some reason it can't be known by him, so I lied and said the baby was ...... yours." After saying these words, I was so embarrassed that I didn't know where to
Nathan's POV. I actually didn't have to make this trip, the investment should be evaluated by the venture capital department, but I couldn't say no to the thought of maybe meeting Amanda. She seemed to have lost a little weight, and I wondered if it was just me, occasionally not moving to look at her, she kept her head down, and from my POV, all I could see was her soft, seaweed-like long hair. I was a little distracted, her hair was too long, draped behind her during sex, almost lifting my thighs, the feeling of skin against skin made me react to feel ashamed. She had divorced me and I was thinking about what it was like to have sex with her? However, she even remembered my habits ...... I took a sip of coffee, not the kind she prepared for me at home, but it felt extraordinarily good. This meeting was long, most of it was spoke to me, I listened to part of it and had little interest, the part of it that interested me was all Amanda did, I didn't know that, she did work ab

Nathan's POV.I left Amanda's house with total disregard for what I called decency, upbringing.I drove aimlessly for a long time and finally stopped at a supermarket on the side of the road, I didn't actually like the smell of tobacco, it was numbing, but I needed to think calmly.I stood by the lake smoking a cigarette, my mind kept flashing to her just slightly with a happy look. But that look was not at me, but at another man. I knew him, Amanda had mentioned this friend of hers when we were still in school. A student of her father's and a friend she grew up with, it never occurred to me then that I would marry Amanda.Nor did I think that the person who caused our divorce would be him.My sanity told me to stop thinking so much, that even if it wasn't now, it would be a year from now, when our agreement was up, did I want to continue with Amanda?But there was a voice in the back of my mind that seemed to be luring me."Don't you want to?""You really don't want to?""Then why do
Nathan's POV.Just as I was about to drop what I was doing and go specifically to Amanda, I got a call from Amanda."Can you come to my house for dinner tonight? I want to talk to you for a minute.""Amanda, what the hell do you want?" This feeling of things getting out of control made me a little anxious. She had pulled the plug on me and now she was informing me that I wanted to talk."You'll know when you get here.""Okay, I'll be there on time." She said calmly over the phone.I hung up the phone in a grim tone.I left the office early and met Charlotte in front of the office with a couple of planners that seemed to have come to see me."Nathan! Where are you going?" She asked in surprise.I didn't want to tell her where I was going, but out of courtesy, I couldn't help but answer and said briefly, "I'm going to see Amanda.""Amanda?" Her expression was puzzled: "But aren't you both getting divorced? I saw she was coming to deliver the wedding ring, and I thought you guys ......"
Nathan's POV."Mr. Lancaster, the employee of the small company who responsible for planning case has arrived, her name is Amanda." The assistant was next to the itinerary and I wasn't listening very carefully when I suddenly heard the familiar name."What's her full name?" I furrowed my brow, suspecting I'd misheard.The assistant looked at the itinerary notes one more time, "Amanda Bateman."Amanda was one of that company? Then why didn't she contact me directly.I immediately got up and headed for the conference room, the assistant followed with a bewildered look on her face, and I ordered with a blank face, "Next time she comes over, call me immediately, don't keep her waiting inside."The elevator opened, I could not wait to look forward, except for Charlotte, who was bending over looking at the papers on the table, there was no one in the conference room.Charlotte saw me coming back and quickly greeted me, I walked up and asked, "Where's Amanda?"She froze for a few seconds and
Amanda's perspective. He was silent, and all those eager, soaring hearts that had just fallen to the ground in an instant. It was the first time he had kissed me outside of bed, and I had a moment of pleasure, but when I asked, my heart slowly lost its eagerness. It was hard for him to answer, or rather, he was reluctant to say anything too much. He was about to say something when the phone suddenly rang. His expression got serious: "What is it? ...... Got it, book a flight, I'll be at the airport right away." Silence hurts more than rejection, and he was ever decent. What purpose did it serve for me to ask these words but to make a fool of myself? I took this time to wipe the moist moisture from my eyes and pat my face, I had to see my mom later when I got back, I didn't want her to see anything strange. "Just go, you sign the divorce papers and then give them to me." I picked up the bag on the floor and prepared to go upstairs, not wanting to look at him any longer. "Wh
