(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
(Abbi's POV)I thought I was going crazy too. After seeing Flora in the wedding room, I hated her even more. Most importantly, I didn't think she was still in that house. I thought she wouldn't come, and I just wanted to borrow that big house that night to calm myself down. But as soon as I entered the door, I saw the daily necessities that Leo had prepared for her. I immediately realized that they still had each other in their hearts. Otherwise, Leo wouldn't have prepared these things for Flora if that woman wouldn't stay in that house.What about their divorce? Maybe it was just a quarrel in their love affair. After some time had passed since Ada's death, they would overcome the pain and come together sooner or later.I sat stupidly on the sofa, thinking about Leo's bad habit for me and his good for Flora. My jealousy grew secretly.At that moment, Flora suddenly appeared. She looked so innocent and was surprised, as if she was the mistress of the house and I was a thief who had inv
(Flora's POV)After three days, most of my injuries were almost healed, except the one on my face. I didn't know how it turned out. After all, I hadn't looked in the mirror for three days.At this moment, Mable Bell walked into the room with a mirror and said to me, "Before you look in the mirror, I need to tell you a few things. First, there must be a way to repair the injury on your face, so no matter how bad it is, you don't need to be too sad. Second, don't cry. Tears will only make it harder for the wound to heal. Third, you are still a beautiful woman in my eyes.""Thank you, Mable Bell." I knew she said all this to comfort me. In fact, now that I had no relatives, having Mable Bell by my side during these difficult times made me feel much better as she had been nothing but tender and patient with me. Then, she shoved the mirror into my hand.I finally saw myself again. My face didn't change much, but the area under my right cheekbone was wrapped with thick gauze. I reached out
