"I wouldn't have returned abroad if it weren't for someone important. That way, my ears wouldn't have to endure so much." Sheldon was looking at Natalie when he spoke.Natalie smiled. "The important person you're talking about is that girl of yours, right?"Sheldon didn't deny it. Instead, he admitted it generously. "Yes. It's her."Natalie suddenly thought of something due to their conversation."Give me a minute. I want to give you something!" Natalie smiled at him and left his office.Soon, she returned with a small box.Sheldon was perplexed as he looked at her. "What is this?"Natalie didn't explain anything. She merely placed the box before him. "Open it and see!"Sheldon watched her mysterious smile. His terrible mood instantly improved.Since he had returned from abroad for her, he had to accept the challenges he would face after returning from abroad.At least he couldn't show her such a side of him. He only wanted her to see his optimistic and cheerful side.Sheldo
They had been married for two years. Throughout the two years, Shirley had heard of the rumors from the people around her.People had told her about Harry's ex-girlfriend. They said that if it weren't for her, Harry would have married his ex.Shirley had always tried hard not to overthink about such things. She had tried to focus on how well Harry had treated her. But she could tell he did not treat her so kindly out of love.She had just chosen to live in denial.However, reality seemed to have given her a hard slap, waking her from her delusions.Harry's gaze showed his discomfort. "Shirley, now is not the time to talk about such things … "I don't have the emotional capacity to say something like that to you either."Shirley didn't force him as she sat there in silence."Alright. It's quite late now. You should rest. Your eyes are already red and swollen from crying." Harry stood up. He considerately helped her lay down and tucked her in.Harry left her ward after ens
"Was I supposed to introduce myself as your ex-husband when we were in such a position?" Henry turned to look at Natalie meaningfully.He could tell she felt repulsed at the thought of being in a relationship with him.Her repulsion made him feel terrible.There was a time when she would have wanted nothing more but to announce to the world that she was his wife.But now … Her attitude was completely different."Are you telling me you don't think you did anything wrong?" Natalie could hear the underlying meaning in his words.Henry looked straight ahead as he raised his head. He said confidently, "Of course. I didn't do anything wrong."Then, he started the car and drove away.Natalie could not accept his attitude toward the situation. She said unhappily, "Stop the car at the side of the road. I'll call a cab to the hospital. There's no need to trouble you."They could not agree on anything. Being in the same car as him would only ruin her mood. "Natalie, I just didn't cor
Juliet was ecstatic to hear Stanley's words.That was exactly what she wanted to hear!However, she masked her emotions.She shook her head and tried to dissuade him. "Stanley, you've already done so much for me! I can't keep letting you put yourself at risk on my behalf! Do you understand?"His determination to help her only increased after seeing Juliet's concern for him.However, he smiled and said, "I get it. I was just talking on a whim. Look how scared you got …""It's good that you were just talking on a whim. I don't have the chance to be with the man I love. "I shouldn't force things to happen. Isn't it important for us to know our worth?"Stanley felt his heart break for her as he looked at her.His hands slowly clenched into fists. "I'll sacrifice everything I have to give you the life you want," Stanley thought.…Due to her sprained ankle, Natalie had spent most of her day in her office.Other than a new school project from the company, she still had to th
Henry had been waiting outside of Dawn Corporation for two hours.Since when did he ever spend so much time waiting for someone?However, he had forced himself to wait patiently for her.He never expected to end up seeing such a scene.Sheldon had carried Natalie out of the emergency exit on his back. They were also talking and laughing!He felt a rage within him, wanting to explode. However, he knew he didn't have the right to lose his temper.Natalie had regained her freedom.Who she chose to be with, or how she acted with other people, had nothing to do with him."Oh. Why don't I just send you home?" Sheldon had already put Natalie down.Natalie didn't have the chance to reply as Henry had walked over.He said arrogantly, "I happen to be heading in the same direction as her. I can drop her home."Sheldon laughed. His gaze was full of disdain as he said, "You seem to have forgotten that Natalie is no longer someone you can drive around just because you want to."Sheldon's
Henry's words caused Natalie to feel a wave of embarrassment.Her face flushed red immediately. She wanted nothing more but to find a hole to hide in.It turned out … He just wanted to help her apply the salve.Then, didn't her words make her seem overly emotional?Natalie cleared her throat and pretended to be indifferent. She said, "Couldn't you be clearer with your words …""Lie down quickly. I'll go home once I finish helping you apply the salve." Henry said as he took out a bottle from his pockets.Natalie looked at him in confusion. "What's that?"The doctor had prescribed her a salve when they were at the hospital. It was in her bag.She did not know where Henry got the one in his hands."I asked Wade to buy it. I heard that this salve is much more effective."Henry then patted the spot beside him. "Lie down."His words caused Natalie to freeze momentarily.She thought he would not take her injury too seriously. She had half expected him to forget it.She never thou
Henry looked at her before opening the box.His expression immediately darkened when he saw what was inside the box. His grip on the box had tightened till his veins looked like they were about to pop out.Natalie could tell that his mood had dropped. However, she continued, "I have always wanted to return those things to you. "These things are too expensive. So I couldn't send them through the mail. You should take it with you since you're here."Since they had divorced, she had to return the things he had once given her.That included the necklace that had cost a few million dollars and the credit card he gave her. The box also contained her wedding ring.The smile on Henry's face was long gone.He held the box in his hands and felt like someone had stabbed him in the heart. It hurt.However, he could only utter a single word. "Alright."He understood the situation. They had divorced. Since Natalie wanted to return those things, he had no right to decline.Even if it p
Harry turned around indifferently. His voice remained cold as he said, "You're not wrong. The both of you are burdens in my eyes. "I can give you enough money to live out your life. All you have to do is to leave the city with your child."Evelyn's hands clenched into fists.He was too cruel. He was too cruel toward them.Although she used to be full of love and kindness, she could no longer maintain that mentality."I will not leave with Felix. I can't give him a complete family. How can I allow him to wander around aimlessly with me?" Everly was firm on her stance.Harry looked over and reminded her again, "Remember your words. You better stay put!"After that, he disappeared into the night.Evelyn looked in the direction he had disappeared. Her eyes hardened with determination. "I will fight with everything I have to give Felix a complete family."She would do whatever it takes, even if it meant doing many cruel things.…The next day, Natalie woke up while the sky was
