POV JEANNE

"How was the food, Jeanne?"

"It's delicious," I said as I smiled at the woman in front of me, "You've always been a talented cook, auntie."

I was currently enjoying dinner at Dawn's family home. I occasionally glanced at Samuel who seemed to be enjoying the leftovers on his plate quietly.

"Ah, you praise me too much~" Lydia — Samuel's mother — said with an embarrassed smile.

"Hm, it just common taste," Samuel said suddenly, "Besides it, I think you put too much —"

Samuel stopped what he was saying and smiled awkwardly. I followed the direction of Samuel's gaze to his mother, who was already glaring.

"N-No, it's not," Samuel said then and stammered a little, "I was just joking. Mom's cooking is the best, hahaha."

Then Lydia's sharp gaze softened as a smile spread across her face.

"Thank you~" she said.

    "Divorce isn't always a bad thing anyway." "..." "Sometimes, it's even a good thing to get away from a toxic relationship," she said, smiling at me, "So at least be happy. Maybe it's God's way of saving you from the harm that will come to you if you stay with him." Hearing those words, I fell silent and immediately thought about my relationship with Samuel. If I think about it, our relationship is too toxic to maintain. Even though Leo said he loved me and I was already in love with him, the way he expressed his love sometimes made me feel uncomfortable. "You're right, auntie," I said later, "Thank you for giving me a new perspective." Lydia then replied me with her warm smile. "Of course, dear," she said and then glanced at Samuel with a meaningful smile. "..." "Moreover, you can count on Samuel from now on," she said in a teasing tone, "He will glad to help you." I see where this is going - I said to myself. Instead of rejecting him outright, I just smiled

Aunt Lydia then escorted me to one of the rooms on the second floor. It was the same room I remembered from my first stay at Dawn's family home. "Thank you, aunt Lydia and good night to you too," I replied. CREAKShe didn't answer me and just gave me a smile as she closed the door. However, only halfway through closing the door, I saw her suddenly stop. "Ah, I almost forgot to say this," she said as she opened the door completely again. "Yes? Do you need anything?" I asked back. I saw that afterward, Aunt Lydia was smiling and seemed to be teasing me. "By the way, Samuel's room is next to yours," she said in a teasing tone. I knew where this was going, but I chose to pretend I didn't know. Smiling awkwardly, I replied, "I see." "Well, just in case you

    POV JEANNE … "What?!" I got up from my position. I stood behind Samuel's body and then released my grip on Samuel's arm. "We met long before you knew my brother, you say?" I asked in astonishment. For a moment, our eyes met as Samuel glanced at me. However, not long after, he took his eyes off me again. "Forget it." "..." "No matter how well I explain it to you, it won't change anything," he said. She then released my grip on her arm and walked out of the room. CREAK! SLAM! I, on the other hand, was still rooted to my spot and staring at her disappearing figure from behind the door of the room. Not even the banging sound of the door closing made me flinch. I then threw myself back onto the bed behind me, sitting down while staring at the door. With a bitter smile, I muttered, "What the hell did he say?" I paused, trying to digest what Samuel had just told me. At least I tried to dig up my memories of Samuel back then. However, I couldn't find anythin

    POV JEANNE"Jeanne ... hey Jeanne ...?"I flinched when I felt a pat on my arm. I turned and saw my best friend staring sullenly at me.She is Lily Hayes, my best friend since middle school and now we are 25 years old. We chatted casually in my bedroom — a penthouse located in a luxury apartment building in downtown New York."What are you thinking, huh? You're ignoring me."I laughed at her words and said, "I'm just having a lot on my mind.""About Adam?"I nodded and said, "Well, I suspect he has another woman.""Again? Oh come on Jeanne ... you're just overthinking, you know?"Hearing Lily's words, I was silent for a moment and then sighed. Maybe what Lily said is true, I'm just overthinking."And oh ... don't you have to go today to buy an anniversary gift for him?"Her words immediately made me remember the important thing. I got up from my seat and went to the walking closet to change clothes quickly. "Well ... I thought you forgot about that," Lily said again."Gosh! Why are y

    POV JEANNE"With this, the judge decided that the transferring ownership of the Hart family's assets to Adam Moss was legal."I was stunned when I heard those words followed by the sound of a hammer knocking. How can the court declare that the letter is real? I don't even remember signing it before."What do you think? I told you going through this trial is useless, Jeanne Hart."Adam's voice sounded as if he was mocking me. I clenched my fists, trying to control the rising anger."Oh my dearest Jeanne, I'm sorry, but ...""...""... have you known that money can buy everything?" Lily whispered right next to my ear.My eyes got wide when I heard those words. I turned my head and looked at the two disgusting humans grinning at me, then I stood up from my seat."So you bribe the judge?!" I said in disbelief."Well ... it's your fault for living too straight," said Lily with a reproachful expression.Lily interrupted and made me fall silent with her words. So that's it, they used a dirty

So, could you please look after the bar for me?""Ah, okay, Mr. Mason,” I said while smiling at my manager.I saw my manager who immediately ran to one of the doors of the bar while picking up his ringing cell phone. It was a meeting room and according to the bar's rules, only the manager could enter there.I sighed and continued wiping the cocktail glasses in front of me even though I'm quite curious about that.Not long after, suddenly the bar doorbell rang. I immediately walked towards the entrance door to greet customers."Welcome to —""Oh, isn't this the esteemed lady of the Hart family??"That sound, I immediately widened my eyes. For a moment my body froze and my hands clenched into fists. I straightened my body and saw the two creatures I hated the most — Adam Moss and Lily Hayes.Damn it, why did they come here? I thought about cursing my bad luck. However

You should rest more," a man's voice said right beside me.I just realized that there were other people around me and immediately turned to the source of the sound. The voice sounded like deja vu for me."Who are you?" I asked."Leo, you can call me that," the man said in a cold tone.Then I frowned. Actually what I asked was not his name, more about who he was and whether I had seen him before. But it's also good to know his name."Leo? That's the cool name," I said while smiling at him.He just stared at me with a cold glare. The pair of his blue-sky eyes suddenly makes my memory go into flashback. Ah, he's that guy, I thought."Ah, I remember. You're the man who saved me before ...""...""It's nice to know the name of my savior and oh, I'm Jeanne Hart.

    POV JEANNE … "Is it really okay?" I asked. I was currently in Samuel's car and we were heading to Dawn's family residence. After rejecting Samuel's propose, I decided to go home. But Samuel suddenly invited me to have dinner with his family. And I don't know what came over me, but I said yes. "After all, this is your quality time with your parents," I said again. I looked doubtful at Samuel who was sitting in the driving seat, right next to me. He then glanced back at me. "Calm down," he said, chuckling softly, "Don't you already know my parents?" I lowered my gaze and then said again, "Yes, but it's been a long time since I've seen them." "..." "Isn't this supposed to be your time with them anyway?" I said again, "You once said that you often don't have time to spend with them, even to enjoy dinner together." A second later, Samuel chuckled softly. "Oh come on Jeanne, I'm sure they'll be happy to see you," he said casually. "..." "They already think of you

    POV JEANNE…"So that's the problem...""...""I think he's gone too far," Samuel said, "And it's best that you separate from a temperamental person like him." "...""You'll only put yourself in a toxic relationship if you continue to stay with him," Samuel said again, "Moreover, your marriage is only a contract. What's with a guy like that? Only dare to give the woman he loves with a contract marriage. Tch! He's a loser."I smiled weakly when I heard Samuel's words. What he said was true, nothing good would come from maintaining a relationship with a temperamental person. However, on the other hand, I still love Leo. And even though I said earlier that I didn't want this child I was carrying, I still had the conscience not to throw it away. "I also think it's fine to be the father of the child you're carrying. Of course, if you don't mind," he said again. My eyes widened when I heard the sentence that came out of Samuel's mouth. However, instead of answering him, I smiled bitterl

The next second, Leo seemed to grab Noah by the collar and then he punched Noah's stomach and face.WHACK! WHACK!"You bastard! How dare you approach my wife when I'm not around," Leo said as he kicked Noah several times in the stomach. I, who saw this, immediately approached Leo and tried to stop him. "Stop it! Leo! Enough is enough!" I said.I tried to bring Leo a little away from Noah who was crying in pain on the floor while holding his stomach."Ugh! Cough! L-Leo, listen to my explanation, this is all just ... a misunderstanding — Cough!" Noah said, stammering in the middle of his groaning and coughing."Misunderstanding? You said that after I caught you approaching my wife, hm?!" replied Leo and then I heard him laugh sarcastically, "Don't you remember what you did back then, huh?!" "Leo, don't! Stop it!

Amidst the hustle and bustle of the people around me, my gaze focused on the figure of Noah who was still in the middle of a photo shoot and recording session for an advertisement. "It was only a month ago that he did a 'face reveal' as Noisjy, and now he has a lot of advertising jobs," I said as I smiled at him.After I left Marea Restaurant yesterday, Noah immediately contacted me. We had originally promised to meet in person at Ocean Prime Restaurant, but Noah suddenly informed me that afternoon that he might be a little late because he had another job to do. I finally decided to go to his studio, which also happened to be not far from Ocean Prime. I then turned my gaze around and found the studio crews looking at me hatefully. It seems that apart from being a crew, they are also fans — I thought.With a smile of astonishment, I then said, "And there are also many troublesome fans
