(Abbi's POV)Leo agreed to have dinner with Caitlyn Christian. With them, I went to Leo's house to help. I was entering Leo's home, and seeing the exquisite decoration with various luxurious handicraft furniture in the room dazzled my eyes.Leo seemed to notice my stare and asked in dissatisfaction, "What is she doing here?"I was speechless for a while. I knew that he was very upset with me now."I like the mushroom soup that Abbi Miller made last time. It's delicious, so I want to drink it again. Leo, do you want to drink it?""No need."Fortunately, Caitlyn Christian helped me out. I went into the kitchen, making soup for Caitlyn Christian and preparing wine.At this point, Caitlyn Christian entered the kitchen, handed me a packet of powdered items, and ordered a bottle of wine, implying that I had drugged the wine."How much?" I asked."All. Leo's physique is very special. You will know later." Caitlyn Christian smiled at me."So, you'll drink it, too? Will you be okay?" I couldn'
(Leo's POV)My head hurt. I woke up from a hangover with a terrible headache. I remembered Mom and I drank a lot last night together. She said sorry to me that she couldn't control her emotions and was also very flustered when Ada died. She said that she didn't want things to become like this.What could I do to respond to that? Of course, having a drink with her. Just as I was recalling, Abbi Miller pushed in the door with breakfast. When she saw me, she asked, "Leo, are you awake?""Why are you at my house?" I asked her warily. There was no way I would allow this woman to join me and my mother for dinner."Caitlyn Christian called me to take care of you last night. Alva also came, then we went back together. In the morning, Caitlyn Christian called me again, so I came over," Abbi Miller said, her tone a little regretful.I had a habit of drinking. That was, I would call Alva and end it later. I was thankful for this good habit of mine. Besides, this woman was bad news. Unfortunately
(Flora's POV)The day before my mother's funeral, someone called me. I answered the call with suspicion in my heart, "Hello, who is this?"It turned out the person on the other end was Abbi Miller. That evil woman said, "It's me, Abbi Miller. Leo has agreed to sign the divorce paper. It's with me now. When can you come over to sign it?" The moment I heard it, my mind instantly went blank. Did Leo sign the paper? That man was truly a good actor. It seemed as if he could switch from time to time. He would always show his unwillingness to divorce me every time he was before me. Yet, he eventually signed the paper after days passed. Obviously, his company was still his most important thing, huh? For him, our marriage was nothing compared to money and power, right? In fact, it had always been the case.I cleared up my mixed feelings and told Abbi Miller, "I can sign now, and in an hour, I'll see you at the airport café.""Okay," Abbi Miller agreed.Actually, my place was far from the air
(Flora's POV)After the showing was over, my mother would be buried in the cemetery. As we were leaving the church, it was raining for a while outside. Leo held an umbrella to keep me out of the rain. Even though I wanted to get mad at him, I no longer had the energy to reject his gesture. So, I let him do that.Then, I walked in front of the funeral procession and followed the pastor to the place where my mother was about to be buried under 6 feet. After that, I watched my mother's coffin sink inch by inch into the ground. Flower crowns covered her coffin. Seeing this scene, my heart suddenly felt so empty. From today onwards, I no longer had my mother.Realizing this made me want to burst into tears, but there were so many guests around that I ended up whimpering. Leo, who was behind me, patted my back lightly and handed me another handkerchief. I took the handkerchief and wiped my crying face. Although I still hated him, I was very grateful to have him right now for comforting me.
(Abbi's POV)"Get out! I don't want to see you again. You are not allowed to see Caitlyn Christian again in the future. You know, if Flora hadn't pleaded with you at that time, you should have brushed the toilet for a month now. But what did you do to her? You tore up her confession letter, ruined our date, told Caitlyn Christian about her mother, forced her to divorce, and now you are still trying to rob her man. Your behavior is horrible!"When I heard Leo say this to me, I was almost stupid. I didn't expect that when he learned about the divorce agreement, he would treat me like that and say such cruel words to me.I rushed out the door, feeling that I had no face to see anyone again. When the staff of the Human Resources Department brought me a new work permit, I could clearly see the smiles on their faces. I felt that the whole office was laughing at me.I've only been an assistant for a few days. Originally, everyone in this office knew that I had a good relationship with Caitly
(Flora's POV)I woke up from my sleep and felt my heart beat very hard. I couldn't remember what dream I had, but it should have been a nightmare.When I turned on the bedside lamp, I found that I was in the wedding room, and then I remembered that I was sent there by Leo after the funeral.'What time is it now?'I looked around the bed for my phone, but I couldn't find it.It should have fallen downstairs. So I went downstairs to look for it.As soon as I turned on the light, I was startled. Abbi Miller was sitting on my sofa."Moon Goddess, why are you here!" I cried out in alarm.Her eyes, which were as calm as water, glanced at me. "I'm just waiting for you here. I think you'll always come back. I didn't expect you to be in the house."With just one look in my eyes, I noticed something was wrong with her. "Abbi Miller, what's wrong with you?""Nothing, it's just... Leo beat me back to the original shape. He was angry with me when he learned about the divorce agreement, so he arran
(Flora's POV)That was probably how life works. Once you let your guard down, it would hit you hard and knock you down. One second I was chatting with Iggy about whether it was worth spending 10.000 dollars, and the next second, we had a car accident. It was a near-death experience for me.When I woke up, I saw a white ceiling and Mable Bell's face. I tried to open my mouth to speak, but I couldn't feel my tongue for a moment."Don't talk. You just had general anesthesia, and the effect hasn't gone away," Mable Bell explained my current situation.I tried my best and could only give a weak nod. Mable Bell gently stroked my head and said softly, "Have some rest… Fortunately, I was nearby when the accident happened. I heard Iggy's cry and rescued you in time. Don't worry. She was in the back seat, and the impact didn't harm her as much as you, only minor injuries. You don't have to worry too much."'How did this happen?' I wondered.Seemingly aware of my question, Mable Bell smiled, "It
(Leo's POV) 'Flora was in a car accident?!' The moment I received the news, I rushed out of the office and headed to the hospital. Along the way, I, an atheist, prayed to God, hoping that nothing would happen to her. However, through the hospital's glass, I saw her with gauze wrapped around her head. Bandages were all over her body. She was hurt so badly!I was so distressed that when I called her, she didn't respond, so I wanted to call a doctor. Unexpectedly, just as I was about to call the doctor over, Flora woke up. I suddenly realized that her injuries were all skin injuries and not that serious. Maybe she just didn't want to see me at the moment. But still, I couldn't just leave her behind. I should care more about her at times like these. "Flora, do you hurt?" I asked."Well, what do you think?" Her emotional rhetorical question left me unable to answer. I just wanted to make sure that she was okay. I didn't expect her to be so disgusted with my concerns. Did I do something wr
