All Chapters of Lost in the Forest of Clouds: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

At six in the evening, Allen Bennett prepared a perfect dinner—roasted chicken, garlic mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, fresh garden salad, homemade rolls, apple pie, and a creamy mushroom soup—all carefully chosen to match Serene Foster's preferences.By seven, he had run her bath, adding lavender essential oils and rose petals to the warm water, filling the bathroom with a calming fragrance.By eight, he placed her comfortable slippers by the entrance, awaiting her return.At nine, the front door finally opened. Serene walked in, and Allen immediately went to greet her. With practiced grace, he helped her out of her coat and placed her slippers before her feet, then hung the coat in the entryway closet. After hanging the coat in the nearby closet, he asked if she'd prefer to bathe or eat first.Absorbed in her phone, she replied casually, "I'll take a bath."As the clock moved forward, Serene emerged from the bathroom in a bathrobe, drying her hair with a towel. Allen rushed

After returning from the orphanage, Allen went straight upstairs to the walk-in closet and began packing his belongings. It wasn’t until he opened the drawers and closets that he realized how little he actually owned. All he had were a few outfits gifted by Serene’s mother when they got married. In five years of marriage, his wife had never once thought to buy him a single piece of clothing. Once his clothes were packed, Allen gathered all the gifts he had given Serene over the years and sold them to a recycling shop for scrap. For every birthday, he had meticulously chosen gifts, hoping to make her happy, but she never spared them a glance. They had been tossed aside and left to gather dust. As the truck carrying the discarded items drove away, Allen turned to head back to the villa when a car horn blared behind him. He turned around and saw a sleek Maybach pull up in front of him. A woman in a red dress stepped out—it was Serene’s younger sister, Anne Foster. Anne g

"Ah!"The scalding sauce drenched Allen instantly, turning his skin an angry red. Blisters erupted across his arms as searing pain shot through his body, leaving him speechless with agony."Allen!"Serene released Will and rushed to Allen, showing rare concern. "Are you okay? We need to get you to the hospital!"Allen looked up at her, the pain overwhelming, unable to form words."Oh God! Will, you're hurt!"At this, Serene's attention snapped to Will. She hurried to his side, even more distressed than before. Though only a few drops had hit his arm, she acted as if he'd suffered a critical injury.Will pulled away, his eyes pained as he shook his head. "I'm fine. Mr. Bennett needs medical attention more urgently.""Don't be ridiculous! You've always been sensitive to pain. Serene, what are you waiting for? Get Will to the emergency room!" Anne glared at the other table. "What is wrong with you people? Take your fight outside! You've hurt Will, and my sister would definitely su

One week later, their divorce was finalized.Allen was finally free to leave. As he packed his belongings, a delivery arrived—a tailored suit from Serene's assistant with instructions to attend a gala at the Foster estate.Allen stared at the suit and laughed softly. Though they were legally divorced, Serene seemed oblivious, still treating him as her husband.He considered declining but remembered Mrs. Foster's years of kindness—and the fact that he still needed her help with his travel documents. Reluctantly, he put on the suit and went.---The ballroom sparkled with life. Crystal chandeliers cast a warm glow over the crowd, while the gentle clink of champagne glasses mixed with the murmur of conversation.At the center of attention, Will stood surrounded by admiring friends, all raising their glasses in celebration."Will, Ms. Foster is clearly still in love with you.""That ring you're wearing? It's a one-of-a-kind piece from Sotheby's. They say it symbolizes eternal love.

Three days later, Serene finally came home to pick up fresh clothes.As soon as she entered, she called out Allen's name out of habit.After several unanswered calls, only a few servants appeared."Where's Allen?"She frowned as they awkwardly helped her with her shoes and coat, their movements unfamiliar compared to Allen's practiced care.The servants hesitated before answering."Sir... isn't home..."She slipped on her house shoes and walked inside. Gone again. The last time, after he'd accompanied Will to the hospital for his burn, Allen had disappeared for days on his "artistic inspiration" trip.This time, she'd taken Will to the hospital first, but Allen had said he was fine with it.Now he was throwing another tantrum by running away.Her irritation slowly turned to an inexplicable anger.As Serene reached the sofa, she noticed some papers on the table.Normally, she wouldn't give them a second glance.But today, something made her pick them up.The words "Divorce
