Joshua Thompson, Rain Zimmer’s husband, had a deceased ex he could never get over—Lily Smithson. Rain always hoped that there would come one day where she could replace Lily’s presence in Joshua’s heart. In the eighth year of their marriage, Rain accidentally destroyed a bowl Lily had bought on a whim for Joshua, and Joshua yelled at her, “Get out! I don’t want to see you!” At that moment, Rain finally came to realize that she could never win against Rain’s ex. This time, she quietly drafted the divorce agreement and left, but Joshua panicked.

Chapter 3
Joshua only came back when midnight rolled by. The lights were on, but Rain was nowhere to be found. He remembered the message he had received, and he mumbled, “Is she mad?”In the past, no matter how late he came home, Rain would always wait for him.He kicked off his shoes and gently opened the door to their bedroom. When he saw Rain sitting against the headboard while reading, he sighed in relief.He went over to hug her by the waist and began apologizing to her with practiced ease.“I’m sorry, honey. Faye got here today and asked me to pick her up. Then, we threw a welcoming party for her. That’s why I got delayed and missed the charity dinner. Did you get in trouble for it?”The smell of alcohol on Joshua made Rain push him away. “No,” she said.In reality, she was supposed to have the first dance with him. Since Joshua was not around, she had to get another man to dance with her. In the end, the guests criticized her behind her back. However, she guessed that could not

Chapter 4
Faye’s bright eyes showed her determination. In the past, Rain would have felt offended, but that was no longer the case. If Joshua could be stolen from her, he never belonged to her in the first place. Hence, she appeared. Despite the challenge, she did not spare Faye a single glance. Faye immediately felt as if her provocation had landed on deaf ears. She felt frustrated and sneered as she whispered, “Don’t go crying once I steal Joshua from you.”“I wish you success,” Rain said coolly.Joshua did not love her or this woman, who could not even maintain her composure the moment they met. The only person he loved was Lily. However, Faye was Lily’s sister, so she could receive Joshua’s utmost attention. Rain stayed with Joshua to handle the case of the hidden cameras. They only went back after they found Faye a new hotel.While they were in the car, Joshua remembered something and turned to Rain. “Honey, Faye’s going to organize an art exhibition in two days. Could you go s

Chapter 5
Lily’s painting was at the center of the art gallery, and that spot was in flames. Rain doused her clothes in water and ran in to retrieve the painting. Unfortunately, before she could escape, a huge curio cabinet fell and crashed into her. The sharp pain made her lose her grip on the painting. With a grunt, Rain fell to her knees. The next moment, someone charged past her and picked up the painting on the floor. Once Joshua was sure that the painting was fine, he sighed in relief. Only then did he turn to check on his wife. “Are you okay, Rain?”Rain said nothing. Her eyes stung, and she wondered whether it was due to the smoke or the pain in her heart. She avoided Joshua’s touch and struggled to her feet. “I’m fine. Hold the painting tight.”At that, Joshua shielded the painting in his arms. Disdain flashed in Rain’s eyes. She grabbed Joshua as he coughed nonstop and left the burning art gallery. Fresh blood kept dripping down her arm, and it left behind a terrifying trai

Chapter 6
Joshua was shocked. With wide eyes, he stared at the moody-looking Rain. He felt like it was the first time he ever truly got to know his wife. Gradually, disappointment filled his eyes. “You’re crossing the line, Rain!”She just looked down in silence. Rain had kept those words in her heart for a long time. Today, she finally gave them a voice, and she felt a strange sort of relief. She even smiled, though her eyes were filled with anguish.Joshua just left with a cold expression. When he returned to his parents’ house, he was furious. “I did forget about my in-laws’ death anniversary, but I rushed over the moment I remembered it! I did make a mistake, but it’s not like she didn’t do anything wrong! She’s the one who didn’t remind me or wait for me!”Joshua never thought Rain would interrogate him that way in the graveyard and put him on the spot. She never did that in the past. Of course, he knew that Rain did not like Lily. But his wife had never made a fuss because

Chapter 7
Joshua was still mad, but he remembered that Rain was supposed to be discharged today. He fought his anger and went over to the hospital, only to see Rain’s assistant kicking Faye. He immediately threw away the roses in his hand and helped Faye up. Then, he turned around and snapped at Rain, “Rain, you’re being unreasonable!”It had been a long time since someone pulled such a cheap trick on Rain. She could not be bothered to argue and said, “You can call the police.”Faye’s expression changed. “There’s no need for that,” she hurriedly said. “Joshua, I’m sure Rain didn’t do it on purpose. I’m fine.”She winced and put her hand on her waist before sucking in a sharp breath. From a corner Joshua could not see, she mouthed these words to Rain as a challenge, “Think he’ll trust me or you?”Joshua’s expression was dark. He gave Rain a cold look before he turned around and supported Faye. “I’ll send you to the Outpatient Department.”“Sorry for the trouble, Joshua.”Before they l

Chapter 8
‘This is your last chance,’ Rain thought.Panic filled Joshua’s heart for a moment as if he was about to lose something forever. However, that bit of panic was quickly drowned out by boiling rage. He trembled with such anger that he lost all remaining rationality. He had long since forgotten what Rain meant when she said eight times. But even if he never did, he would not care at this moment. “Apologize to Lily, Rain!” Joshua demanded coldly. Even at a time like this, he only cared about Lily. Blood filled Rain’s mouth. She sneered, but tears welled up in her eyes. In the end, she said what had been sitting at the back of her mind, “Let’s get divorced, Joshua.”Joshua was stunned for a moment. Sadly, his rage made him say something that he would regret for the rest of his life. “Fine! Let’s get divorced, then!”No one could insult Lily, not even his wife!At that, Rain wiped away the blood from the side of her mouth. The moment she suggested a divorce, she seemed to remov

Chapter 9
Rain moved into an apartment she owned. She knew that she was going to spend a long time before she moved on from her broken marriage. But the moment she decided to give up on it, she vowed to never turn back. At the same time, Joshua returned to his parents’ house and destroyed all the things Rain had given to him. He crushed all the limited-edition figurines, smashed the custom-made guitar for him, and even ripped their wedding photo to shreds. While Faye felt delighted inside, she still put on a regretful expression and tried to stop him. “Joshua, it’s my fault. Please don’t do this.”Joshua pretended not to hear her and smashed the matching cups he had with Rain against the wall. “What’s going on?” Anna and Patrick heard the ruckus and rushed over. “It’s…” Faye avoided looking at them and replied hesitantly, “Rain… insulted my sister. Joshua got angry and signed the divorce papers.”“What?!” Anna’s expression changed. She picked up the papers and instantly aged when s

Chapter 10
Was Rain really going to divorce him?!“No. She can’t possibly do that.”Joshua’s mind went blank. For a moment, he could not hear a thing. Even if Rain had left with all her belongings, he refused to believe that she had truly given up on him.“She must be too angry, so she came up with this plan to make me apologize to her. It’s just like how I want her to make me happy again when I run away from home.“Yes. That must be it. Rain loves me. She can’t possibly want a divorce.”Joshua mumbled and took out his phone to call Rain. As he heard the ringing tone, his heart calmed down. He even felt a little resigned. Tsk. How could Rain run away from home like he did?On top of that, she did not even learn the gist. If she really wanted to torment him, she should block all of his contacts as well. However, after a few rings, the call went to her voicemail, and Joshua froze. Rain had actually refused to answer his call. When he called her again, he discovered that he had been
