Jasmine sighed before saying, "I think it's a pity they broke up just like that. They used to be so close. "But then again, Shannon might be better off. She wouldn't be happy if she married a man who doesn't love her."Josie finally understood the events. "Are you saying Luke and Shannon have broken up?""You didn't know about this? It's all over the news. It even made it to the trending list," Jasmine replied, surprise evident in her expression."I don't even know where to go to check buzzworthy news." Josie still could not believe it. "Did they really break up?"Jasmine answered solemnly, "Yes. How could I joke about something like this? Breaking up might be for the best. "It's better to rip the Band-Aid off quickly than to peel it off slowly. Shannon is free now.""Why did Luke break up with Shannon?" Josie asked, despite having an answer already.She figured that it must be because of Chelsey. After Lucas and Chelsey divorced, he always thought about her. There we

Lucas' statement drove Josie up the walls. "Why are you so useless? Don't forget that you're the one who wanted a divorce back then! It's too late to regret it now!" she yelled."I haven't forgotten about it," Lucas replied bitterly. That was the biggest regret in his life. He felt the urge to slap himself as he thought about it.Lucas had hurt Chelsey profoundly. So, he felt that he could forgive her even though she cheated on him.Josie could not find it in herself to scold Lucas any further. She took a deep breath to calm herself before saying, "Don't stay here anymore. Come home with me now." "Mom, you go on home. I'll return in a few days."No matter what, Lucas would not leave until Timothy returned. He was obliged to protect Chelsey. It was something he owed her, after all. Josie stomped off in frustration at Lucas' words. After closing his door, she headed straight to the house opposite and rang the doorbell. Before long, Sandra opened the door. Although she h

Lucas would dream about Chelsey, especially after their divorce. He started dreaming about Chelsey more often. Moreover, they were vivid and sensual. The dreams felt incredibly real to him.His dreams were so lucid that he felt Chelsey's body warmth and the touch of her skin. The dreams troubled him for a long time. He ultimately sought help from a psychologist.The psychologist told Lucas that his dreams could stem from a subconscious desire. When he was mainly obsessed with something, he would repeatedly experience it in his dreams.After hearing the psychologist's explanation, Lucas could not help but laugh at himself in a self-deprecating manner.It turned out he had a strong desire for Chelsey's body. Despite having shared the same bed, he had never once thought about touching her during their three years of marriage.It was not that Lucas did not desire Chelsey. It was simply because he did not want to hurt her. On nights when Lucas did not dream about Chelsey, he wo

Chelsey was clueless about the thoughts swirling in Lucas' mind. But the way he looked at her was intimidating.She turned around and said to Timothy on the phone, "Okay, I'll wait to have lunch with you.""Tell Sandra not to prepare anything. I've ordered food, and it'll be delivered at noon. The flight attendant is asking us to turn the phones off now. So I'll hang up. See you later!""See you." Chelsey abruptly ended the call. When she turned around, her eyes met Lucas' burning gaze. Chelsey instantly looked away, refusing to look him in the eyes. "Is Timothy back?" Lucas asked knowingly. He was the happiest when Timothy was away. Now that he was back, Lucas' mood immediately took a downturn. He could no longer accompany Chelsey to her next prenatal check-up."Yeah," Chelsey answered indifferently. She then continued walking forward. Meanwhile, the bodyguards followed them at a moderate distance. Lucas stood beneath a ginkgo tree with newly grown green leaves.

Chelsey sighed helplessly. "I hope you can live a good life and be happy every day, even without me by your side." "I'm not happy if you're not with me." Lucas understood the depth of her feelings based on these few sentences. He wrapped his arms around her and said, "I know you don't love Timothy. You don't have to stay with him just because of your child. Trust me, I'll treat your child as my own."Despite his words, Chelsey pushed him away. A wave of emotions washed over him when he noticed how calm and indifferent she looked. "Chelsey?" "I've lost interest in men, and I don't want to marry anyone anymore," she told him. "Being single feels great. I can raise my child and give him all the love he needs." Chelsey had become increasingly rational of late. She wasn't easily swayed by Lucas' emotions these days. Besides, she didn't want to constantly worry about his relationship with Shannon or fret about the possibility of him falling for another woman. She thought
