Mark frowned when he heard me addressing him as my ex-husband.I thought he would accuse me of playing hard to get and losing his temper like before.Unexpectedly, he just sighed, touched the top of my head and said, "Are you still mad at me? Honey, I admit that I neglected you before, and I promise I will change in the future. Please stop being angry, okay? Where will you be without me?"Although he changed his temperament for some unknown reason, I was not pleased when I heard the last bit, "The world is big enough. There will be somewhere out there for me."Mark interjected, "You know that's not what I meant."I was too jaded to talk more. It seemed that Mark did not want to divide his assets with me, otherwise there was no other reason why he didn't want a divorce.I caught a glimpse of Sophie from the corner of my eye, and I diverted the conversation, "Hey, can you get out of my room?"Sophie's face instantly turned red, as if she was about to cry. She said cautiously, "I'm
I must say that Ralph was sharp to recognise such tactics, much better than Mark could ever be. I took the other apple he had peeled and said mockingly, "Oh, it's probably depression."After a pause, I emphasized, "Severe depression."Ralph was amused, "How can she be severely depressed? She has schizophrenia. I reckon she has to go to a mental hospital. Only symptomatic treatment can cure her problem."I laughed out loud.Mark looked at me in disbelief.He never imagined that I would be this cold-blooded and make fun of a sick woman.However, the most unbearable thing for him was that I looked like a dead wall when facing him, but could immediately smile sweetly at another man.Jealousy grew in his heart, and he scowled, "That's enough, Lily, why are you being like this? No wonder your parents are so disappointed in you, no wonder our son hates you. You are just a vicious, heartless woman! You're right, I regret not signing those divorce papers. I should have dumped you earli
Three months ago, a gang member who defiled Sophie was released after he finished serving his sentence.I met him on the same day he was released.Sophie said that her friends were waiting for her on that path.If this person really existed, maybe this person would be the only one who could prove my innocence.I checked Sophie's connections but found nothing.Therefore, I assumed her friend was one of the gang members.As a result, not only did I find the true identity of her "friend", but also the entire truth.Tomorrow, I would bring the truth along with me to serve a fatal blow to Sophie.I would also give Mark a remarkable divorce ceremony.After preparing everything, I went to bed.In my dreams, I heard someone talking to me, "If you really don't care, why do you still take antidepressants?"…The following day, the hospital finally discharged me. Ralph insisted on sending me to the attorney's office.I did not decline. After all, I have not fully recovered.After ar
When Sophie heard that I was going to give her a gift, her eyes were filled with vigilance.She was aware of how much I hated her, so why would I have prepared a gift for her?However, before she could refuse, a man with short hair walked out from the surrounding crowd — who gathered to watch the show — and walked closer to Sohpie. When she saw that person, Sophie gasped in shock. She stumbled back in horror and couldn't help but whimper the other person's name, "Dickson?!"Dickson let out smoke from his mouth, and his eyes wandered wildly on Sophie's face, "Hello there, dearest ex-girlfriend, long time no see. It seems like you are doing well. How is your promise of marrying me after taking the Jonnes' family wealth coming along?"My parents looked at Sophie with wide eyes.Sophie shook her head and explained, "Mom and dad, please don't believe him. He… He was one of the gang members back then!"After she finished speaking, she looked at me angrily, "Did you do this? Did you f
Although the post did not specify who the person was, surprisingly, many of my former high school classmates left messages under the post as if they knew the story.Soon, the dirty things Sophie had done were exposed.Not only that, Mark and my parents were all affected.Following the days after that, my cell phone kept being bombarded with calls.At this moment, I looked at the culprit sitting across me and said helplessly, "You brat, who asked you to intervene?"Ralph smiled and placed a piece of beef into my plate, "Please don't get mad, I know you won't bother to make others feel guilty. In my humble opinion, people who have been wronged should not stay silent. If they didn't know what went through, they won't feel guilty. Even so, that is not enough to make up for the damage that’s been done to you, and you will never truly let go of it. So, I want them to suffer every day just like how they made you suffer. In the days to come, just think about their sorrows whenever you are
The divorce papers were printed half an hour ago. Before that, I was sitting on the couch in the living room all night.The dozen dishes I carefully prepared remained untouched on the dining table. The Ultraman-themed cake had melted beyond recognition.Yesterday was my son Anthony’s birthday.My husband, Mark Lennon, told me to prepare everything, and that he would bring Anthony back for his birthday.However, I waited for hours at home, only to be disappointed by Sophie's post of the perfect family of four.How ridiculous.Mark did not expect me to ask for a divorce. He frowned and tore up the agreement."Lily, what's all the fuss about? We only went to meet Sophie and forgot to tell you about it, didn't we?"After saying that, his gaze fell on the food on the dining table, and a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes.His tone softened, "Fine, I forgot to call you last night. It was my fault. I will fix that. I'll clean up the table. You go and take a nap. I'll take you and Anth
Mark didn't expect my luggage to be already packed, so he rushed over to stop me.At this moment, the sound of the door unlocking came from outside.The next moment, Sophie walked in holding her daughter Tammy. I did not expect her fingerprint to be keyed into our home door's lock.However, I clearly told Mark that I didn't want to see Sophie in this home.She defamed me, she took everything from me, and I hate her.Obviously, Mark didn't take my words to heart.When Sophie saw me, her expression changed. She displayed a pitiful look, "Lily..."Tammy immediately hid behind her, as if I were a savage beast. Tammy cried and said, "Aunt Lily, don't hit my mother!"I looked coldly at this little girl — who was only ten years old — that looked extremely innocent.However, it was she who, during Christmas Eve, accused me of beating Sophie at my parents'.That night was a reunion that I had been looking forward to for several years.It was also the first time ever since the inciden
Tammy was a child who hadn't fully learned how to conceal her emotions.When she heard that this home would belong to them, she immediately asked excitedly, "Is it true?"Sophie held Tammy's arms in panic, "Tammy, don't speak of nonsense! This is Aunt Lily's home."After saying that, Sophie's eyes turned red as she gave an aggrieved look, "Lily, I would never ruin the relationship between you and Mark. If it'll make you happier, I'll leave."Hearing this, Mark rushed over and grabbed Sophie's arm.Sophie gently fell into his arms.He steadied her, but when our gaze crossed, he hurriedly let go of her hand.A hint of unwillingness glistened in Sophie's eyes, which was quickly replaced by grievance, "Mark, please stop trying to persuade me to stay. We've intruded for too long."As she spoke, tears started to fall, as if she was a white lotus that was about to wither.Tammy threw herself into her arms and cried loudly, "Mommy, don't cry. It's all my fault. If I didn't make a mess

Ralph's words were so shocking that I almost sprang out of bed.On the other end of the phone, Mark suddenly raised his voice, "What did you say? Who are-"Ralph had already hung up and turned off the phone.Seeing me staring at him, he smiled awkwardly and said, "I didn't mean to say you were dead, but I just thought your husband was being outrageous. His wife got into a car accident and is lying in the hospital bed. No one could get in touch with him. When he finally remembered to call you, he didn’t even say a word of concern. Ma'am, to be honest... Your taste in men is… subpar."I smiled helplessly and murmured, "Not only am I bad at picking men, I am also bad at picking out my parents and best friends."I was even bad at giving birth to a good kid.Suppressing my displeasure, I asked, "Is there anything to eat?"I hadn't eaten anything, so I was really hungry.Ralph immediately took out his phone and asked me what I wanted to eat.I did not have a large appetite, so I jus
Mark let out a frustrating grunt alongside my mother’s hysterical curses as he stepped on the pedal.When the car passed in front of me, I saw Sophie's proud face. She thought she had won.Once again, I was separated from my family, looking like a lonely wretch. However, it did not bother me one bit.Be it my parents, my husband, or my son, I didn't want them anymore.'If Sophie wants them, I would just give them all to her.' I thought to myself. The harsh weather reminded me of all the nasty memories that haunted me, gradually filling my mind.I wanted to cry, not because I was sad, but just because I needed an outlet to vent.However, I didn't dare to cry, I was afraid that my face would be stung by tears, which would undoubtedly make things worse.I walked, one foot at a time, until my feet were numb, my mind was tangled, and I could no longer think of anything.When I finally found a place to hide from the snow, a car seemed to be coming closer to me. The car suddenly ski
