After the phone connected, I said briefly, "I'll withdraw my case."

The one over the phone was silent at first. After a while, I heard him say "Okay."

"However, I have two conditions."

"Name them."

"First of all, you can't do anything to the orphanage and Haick Design."

"Okay."

"Secondly, I want a divorce."

I had already figured it out. However much I loved Dave, Dave would only have Lita on his mind and in his heart. In that case, I shouldn't hold onto those unrealistic illusions anymore.

Dave had never fallen in love with me. From the beginning to the end, he was always in love with Lita Defiant.

Originally, I thought Dave would agree with my request without hesitation but there was silence instead.

After a long while, Dave said, "I won't agree with the second one."

I was a little surprised. "There are two conditions. Both of them are indispensable. At present, Mr. Mitaka, you'd better consider whether to save your lover or not. Enough with this painful marriage"

    In the blink of an eye, it was Monday and I didn't know how I had gotten over from the weekend.I covered the dark circles under my eyes with concealer and applied blush on my face to make me look better.I tidied up my hair neatly and chose a set of clothes and then headed for the Civil Affairs Bureau.In my opinion, it should be the last time I would meet Dave.By the time I arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, Dave was already at the entrance.The look on his face was bad and there were dark circles under his eyes with a stubble beard on his chin. He looked somewhat unkempt.This was the first time I had seen him like this. Normally, he was always perfect, mighty, and arrogant.I walked over to him. Before I could say anything, he spoke up first, "Do we have to divorce? Don't you want to think it through?"His tone was a little pleading and I thought I was hearing wrong."Let's get a divorce. Mr. Mitaka, don't get yourself immersed in your hatred. You'd better embrace a new life as

    After that day, I was in a daze. Feeling absent minded, I often made mistakes while working.I apologized over and over again. Even so, I would always be distracted inadvertently.Every evening after I arrive home, I would always take a deep breath while standing at the door. After entering, I would look around hoping to find him but I always end up disappointed.I knew Dave wouldn't come over again but I still had hopes.To stop fantasizing about Dave, I simply asked the property management to change the lock of my door and specifically instructed them that no one else should be given access................At work, I was informed the manager wanted me in her office.I dropped all what I was doing and headed to her office. I had just entered when she said. "Reed Defiant, do you think we are eager and willing to recruit someone like you who has a criminal record?""What?"I looked at her in a daze. She, who had always been gentle, looked at me indifferent today. There was also a hin

    He helped move Dave to my bed.I picked up my cell phone intending to call someone to come get him but when I looked at the phone, I was confused again.Who should I call to come get him? Except for Lita, among the ones who knew Dave, I didn't have their contact number.I took his body temperature with a thermometer and it was really high.I didn't understand. I wondered why he who was having such a serious fever, came to my house rather than go to the hospital. I couldn't go against my will as I was worried that something bad would happen to him. I could only call for an ambulance.Before the ambulance staff arrived, I intended to get a basin of water to help cool down his temperature but as soon as I was about to leave, Dave held me with a deadly grip, "Don't go."I turned around and looked at Dave who was in a daze…"Dave, let go. I'll fetch some water and cool you down a bit. I'll be right back."I explained it to him but Dave still grabbed my hand and didn't let go of me. "No. D

    In a daze, I began to tell the one over the phone everything that had happened between Dave and I...It was unknown how long I had been talking nor did I know how I had fallen asleep. By the time I woke, it was evening.Feeling that I had a headache, I got up and cooked a bowl of instant noodles. Picking my cell phone, I intended to check the time only to find my cell phone was out of power. I couldn't even turn it on.I was a little puzzled. My cell phone had been fully charged this morning and I just helped Dave make a call for an ambulance.I plugged my cell phone on charged and went to down the instant noodles. By the time I was done eating, my phone was on.I clicked open the call log and found a number that wasn't saved in my phonebook on it. I recognized the number at a glance. This number belonged to the one who had funded my college tuition.I took a look at the call duration...The call lasted 182 minutes.Oh my God!I was scared out of my wits, wondering why I had talke

    Hearing her mention Dave, I felt a little lost. After a long silence, I said, "We are divorced and I won't be connected to him anymore.""What? Did I just hear you right? You and Dave got divorced?"Kim looked at me."It's true."I told Kim about what had happened recently, including how I had been wronged and how I could have put Lita in jail.Hearing this, Kim wasn't as relaxed as before.Seeing that I was so depressed, she smiled again, "Okay, I'll stay with you in the City for some more days. I'll hold a party for you tonight to congratulate you on the fact that you are single again!""Just stay with me. There's no need to have a party.""Of course you should. Moreover, it won't be a party at all. We will just go out to vent our emotions so you will let go of everything."Kim's mouth was stuffed with bread but I still managed to hear what she was saying.That afternoon, Kim went back home and came back to my apartment in the evening to get me to go out.When she saw my outfit, she

    Back at our table, Kim narrated what had happened. Only then did we know that the man we had seen just placed his hands on Kim's shoulder as soon as she walked by. Before Kim could react, he moved his hand down to her chest....After Kim finished her words, she added with a sad face, "Originally, I wanted to set you two up so you can talk with each other that was why I left. I didn't expect to meet such an ignorant man.""You didn't have to do that." Haick smiled and added, "I am fine with the current relationship between Reed and I."He had always been like this, he never pressured me.After drinking for a while longer, I felt dizzy. At this time, the man who was hit by Kim came in, a waiter followed behind him with a bottle of wine in hand.When Kim saw him, she immediately stood up, "What? Do you want me to hit you again?"The man wasn't angry nor did he flinch.He said with a smile, "I just came from abroad, so I didn't understand the domestic rules and accidentally offended you,

    Haick wasn't bothered by Lita's word. He had his arm on my shoulder as he ushered me into the elevator but Dave walked out directly and blocked the entrance. He looked down at Haick and said, "Mr. Grimm, check the time. You are late..."Although Dave didn't finish his words, I knew what he wanted to do."Last night, we...""Yeah. Mr. Mitaka, I was just about to tell you I'm resigning. I'm going to pack up my things today so I won't be back to your company tomorrow."Haick interrupted me.I looked at him in surprise and wanted to ask why but he motioned me to the side, bypassed the two people in front of us, and went into the elevator.Although I dared not look into Dave's eyes, I could feel the coldness emanating from him.The fact that Dave and Lita both showed up in the hotel indicated that they probably had been here to have sex.Thinking of this, I was sad. Moreover, I felt my emotion was all over the place.It hurts again.I turned to Haick and apologized.Haick smiled and said

    He accompanied me downstairs. When we got to the car, he said, "Look, I'm so popular, If you don't hurry up, I probably will be taken away by others.""Haick, I...""Well, it's a joke. Relax."Haick interrupted me but I still said, "Haick, you're so kind to me and you've sacrificed so much for me. I'm afraid that I'll never be able to pay your favor back for the rest of my life.""I'm good to you. It's my own business and it has nothing to do with you." Haick started the car and asked me, "Think about what we are going to eat later.".............................In the next few days, my colleagues knew Haick had come for me and many came to ask about him.A colleague even said to me, "Reed, if you don't say yes to Vice President Grimm, don't always keep him hanging. Make your position clear to him quickly so that we can have a chance."Haick happened to pass by when my colleague said this. He came in and said, "It's me who has been chasing after her all the time. It's good that she d

    At the mention of Teresa, Finn's attitude was different from Katy's. He seemed to have no idea about Teresa's heartlessness.He looked at me and said, "Reed, it was my fault. I shouldn't have flirted with Jessica because I was married. But, but I really couldn't control myself. During that ime, I really loved her, even now I..."Finn didn't go on, but his face was full of regret.I narrowed my eyes and looked at him. Then I sneered, Mr. Finn, do you have a dead brain? Or do you have a bad memory? A few months ago, you dropped a card and said you wanted to draw a line to keep your distant from us. Don't you remember?""You cheated my mother's feelings and took her to the City. She was a healthy person before, but she was driven crazy by your wife, who is a vixen. The Newman family didn't accept her, and I grew up in a family that didn't love me. How can you be so shameless to call me daughter?"Originally, my mood was very calm. Looking at Finn, I felt like I was watching his play. How

    Pigs might fly. Katy came to meet me!When I saw her, I didn't think much and turned to leave. Katy saw me and rushed out, "Alina, I'm here for you."Her voice was loud, and several colleagues looked over. However, I had no intention of entering the meeting room. Standing at the door, I looked at her with a little vigilance and sked, "Mrs. Katy, I don't think I have anything to do with you. What can I do for you?"Looking at my attitude, Katy was not angry at all. She said with a smile, "Come in. I have something to tell you.""Let's talk about it here. After all, we haven't gotten on well before. What if you hit yourself and blame it on me?" I said.There was CCTV in the conference room but I said so on purpose.In fact, I am not afraid that Katy will hit me. I am afraid that I can't help hitting her.Hearing this, Katy was a little embarrassed."No, no, come in, I'll only talk with you." She seemed to be afraid that I wouldn't go in, so she added, "Do I have to beg you."Beg me?

    Bryan had been treated for a week.The fever had also subsided, and his vitals had also stabilized.These days, it's Janice who delivered food to me and Bryan.Today, Janice sent food again. There were vegetables, ribs, fish soup, and rice.Bryan's appetite recovered well, and he ate a big bowl of food in a short time.After the meal, I found that the weather outside was good, so I wanted to check with the doctor to see if I could take Bryan out for a walk.The doctor checked Bryan and agreed.Janice went to the backyard of the hospital with me.There was a small garden in the backyard, surrounded by many benches. Other patients were sitting on benches, basking in the sun."Miss Jetson."When I was walking with Bryan, someone called me from behind.I looked back and saw that it was Eunice."Miss Eunice?"I was a little surprised, so I quickly let Janice take care of Bryan and walked over to Eunice.Eunice wore a cloth hat.

    Desmond's face turned pale. "No, that was before I met you, I really haven't messed with anyone since I met you, I swear...""Really? I've seen several of them. Next time, if you want to deceive me, make drafts first."Kim's face was full of mockery.I could see Desmond was sweating. Не showed a pleasing smile on his face, put his palms together and winked at me.I knew that he was asking me to help.I tugged at Kim's arm and said, "Alright, a prodigal who returns is more precious than gold. Forgive him for the mistakes he made before.""That's right! They are previous mistakes!" Hearing my words, Desmond immediately cast a grateful look at me.He also put on an expression of gratitude.Kim couldn't stand it. She looked at Desmond and said, "I forgive you because my Reed said to. If you dare to do it again, I'll break your leg!""Which one?""Both!""I don't dare, I won't!"They left joking.I watched them get into the elevator. I felt half of my worries had been put to rest.The othe

    I looked at Oogway and didn't know how to answer for a while.He turned to look at the ward and said, "I'm no longer young. I can distinguish what I am obsessed with."Although he didn't look at me, I could tell from his expression that he was serious.Which made me sure that what he had clung to was really not like what I thought.I also followed his gaze and looked into the ward.In the ward, Bryan was looking at us.When he found that I was looking at him, he forced a smile and waved at me.I waved back.When I thought of Bryan being fine soon, my heart, which had been hanging, gradually relieved.Oogway must have seen our interaction, so he let out a chuckle.When I turned my head to look at him, he happened to look at me as well.He leaned forward slightly and asked seriously, "Do you know why Dave agreed to marry the Defiant Family?"I was a little confused by him for mentioning this.Oogway saw through my doubts and continued, "Because I found Lita and told her about what happe

    Oogway looked at me, and his eyes were cold.For the sake of Bryan, I couldn't care so much. I took the man's arm and said in a friendly tone, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I won't go to the bar again. Please forgive me."Oogway looked at me saying nothing.I didn't know what he meant.I stared at him quietly and didn't know what to do next.What else does he want me to do?My mind wandered, but I was already fully prepared for anything that could happen.After a while, Oogway put the ring in his pocket, stood up and said, "Let's go.""OK!"I thought he had forgiven me, so I hurried to follow him.We sat in his car together.The smell of alcohol lingered in his car.I was a little embarrassed but I didn't say anything.Oogway started the car and drove out of the community.The car drove for a while before I noticed that it didn't seem to be heading toward the City Hall, so I got nervous again and looked at Oogway, "Where are we going?""To pick up Bryan."He kept his eyes on the road as

    Oogway picked me up and carried me into the car. I looked at him as he started the engine. I grabbed his arm and said, "I don't want to go home.""You don't?" He raised his eyebrows slightly."If I go back like this, they will be worried. Please help me... Call Kelvin and tell him I'll not go home today."I was so drunk. They will be worried about me if I went back. After all, I would not drink for no reason.Oogway nodded. I sat in the passenger seat and listened to him call Kelvin.When he hung up, he handed me the phone and started the car, "Is it okay to go to our home?"Our home?Oh, I know where it is.I nodded.I was going to be his wife anyway. That place was going to be our home in the future.I wouldn't be able to escape the reality.After a while, I fell asleep dazedly. However, maybe it was because I was in Oogway' car, I didn't sleep too deep.Not knowing how long had passed, I felt the car had stopped and he carried me.It was pitch black in front of me. I opened my e

    In the evening, even the most prosperous place in the City was quiet. Around the high office buildings, there were only a few lights that were still on.I drove to the gate of Mitaka Group.I got out of the car and went to the entrance.The entrance had been closed. I wanted to go in, but a security guard came over and said, "It's closed."I looked up at the large building, except for the security room lights being on, the whole building was all dark.It seemed that Towering High was very kind to the employees, and there was not even a person working overtime.I didn't know what I wanted to do here. I hesitated for a moment, turned around and left.Back in the car, I continued driving.Finally, I found a lively place.On both sides of the road, rows of luxury cars were parked. At the entrance, the young men and women dressed in various kinds of clothes were chatting at the door, and some people were vomiting in the tree pits.Liquor.I wanted to drink.Perhaps if I was drunk, I would

    Oogway put his arm around my waist and said to Teresa, "Miss Teresa, you are also a famous lady in this City. Whether in terms of social status or background, you are better than my Alina. But men love her, not you. Don't you think it's shameful? What are you still arguing for?"He made Teresa's face turn pale in a few words.She stared at Oogway and said with a fake smile, "Well, well, what's wrong with you? Do you believe she loves you and is willing to marry you just because she says? Tell you what, Oogway, she and Dave love each other no matter where they are!""Since you know it, what are you clinging to?"Oogway asked her.Teresa looked at Oogway and sneered. "Then what are you clinging to? We are all clinging to the same thing. Why do you ask me?"Hearing what Teresa said, Oogway's face was still calm.He drew back his hand, propped both elbows on the table, looked at Teresa and said slowly, "How do you know that we are clinging to the same thing?"Teresa suddenly became speech
