Chapter 1

Connor Biddle's long-lost first love had been found.When he received the call from the police, he rushed out of the office in a panic, leaving his jacket draped over the chair.The business partners discussing a new collaboration froze in surprise, turning unanimously toward Anne Maddison."It's fine, let's continue," said Anne, retracting her gaze from Connor's disappearing figure. She offered a poised smile and seamlessly picked up where Connor had left off. "Now, about the investment for the new project..."An hour later, Anne personally saw the partners off.Returning to the office, she picked up her phone to check it, but there was no message from Connor.Anne called him. The phone rang a few times before a girl's voice answered."Hello?""Where's Connor?" asked Anne after a pause."He's in the kitchen, cooking," the girl replied, sounding slightly flustered.Anne's grip on the phone tightened involuntarily, and suspicion began to rise in her mind. The next moment, Conn

Chapter 2

Listening to Anne's choked question, Connor found himself momentarily speechless.Felicia, noticing he was still on the phone, walked up behind him and wrapped her arms around him. "Are you done? I'm hungry."He instinctively ended the call with Anne.Staring at the darkened screen of his phone, Connor hesitated for only a moment before pulling down Felicia's hands to hold them. "I'm done," he said.The dishes he prepared were all Felicia's favorites. Connor watched her eat with a smile, glancing at the clock out of the corner of his eye.It was nearly ten o'clock at night.The entrance remained quiet.At that moment, Anne's car had pulled into the neighborhood, but she sat there, unmoving.Even though she was Connor's wife, she felt like a thief spying on someone else's happiness.When she was abroad, she did not actively seek out news about Connor, yet friends would still update her.Connor had brought Felicia into their social circle. Because of Anne's presence, no one had

"Where are you?"Anne did not respond, and the cool breeze poured in through the slightly open car door.Even such a small sound was caught by Connor. His voice, laced with certainty, asked, "Did you go home?"He immediately added, "Don't come in, wait outside for me."Just through the phone, Anne could even tell that Connor was putting on his coat. His footsteps were hurried, but it seemed he was trying to stop her from entering, afraid that Anne would frighten Felicia.Connor left the villa, and only when he reached the corner did he spot Anne's car.Hearing the footsteps, Anne looked over at him. Her gaze was filled with disappointment, but more than that, it was calm.Connor's temples throbbed painfully twice. That look in her eyes was exactly the same as the one she had given him the night he forcefully kissed her after her coming-of-age ceremony."I'll take her away tomorrow," said Connor, pulling open the car door. In a tone that suggested negotiation, he asked, "Can you

Chapter 4

Connor silently followed Anne.The phone kept ringing incessantly, making the quiet room feel tense.Connor listened to the sound of water running from the bathroom, took a long drag from his cigarette, and eventually answered the call."Connor, aren't you coming back tonight?""I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow morning," he replied.The indirect rejection made Felicia feel a bit wronged, and she cautiously said, "But I'm scared alone."The sound of water in the bathroom stopped.Connor tightened his grip on the phone, hesitated for a moment, and then reassured Felicia, "Be good. If you're scared, go to sleep early."He then hung up the phone and threw it onto the bed. He knew that if he hesitated for another second, he would not be able to stop himself from walking away.When Anne came out, Connor proactively went to help her dry her hair.As he gazed at her face, he felt a bit dazed. It seemed like it had been a long time since they had been intimate.He slowly bent down,

Chapter 5

"Have you thought it through?"Walter sat across from Anne and carefully handed her a set of cutleries after he had finished preparing them."Anne, even though you signed a prenuptial agreement, if you can't provide evidence of Connor's wrongdoing, the lawsuit to make him leave empty-handed might not be successful."Although Anne had agreed to the marriage for the sake of a family alliance, she was not naive enough to give up everything.They had signed a prenuptial agreement stating that if Connor made any serious mistakes during their marriage, he would have to leave with nothing in the event of a divorce.Anne took a sip of water and replied calmly, "I’ll get the evidence."Felicia still thought they were just a couple, and that the things that should happen between a normal couple would eventually happen. Connor would not reject her.Walter could see what Anne was thinking from her expression.A surge of anger rose within him, and he almost wanted to rush over and punch Conn

Chapter 6

Walter had once pursued Anne.Back in high school, they had been deskmates for a while and even participated in competitions together. However, Anne had been resolute and had politely turned him down. When Walter learned that Connor and Felicia were dating, he even got into a fight with Connor.He could not understand how Connor could give up someone as amazing as Anne.Later, when Connor and Anne got married, Walter even asked Anne in front of Connor if she wanted to leave with him.As for Connor, seeing them sitting together made him lose all composure. Ignoring Felicia, who stood beside him, he stormed up and slapped Walter's hand away."Speak up!" Connor demanded, pulling Anne up from her seat when she remained silent."Speak about what?" Anne steadied herself by leaning on the table, avoiding falling into Connor's arms."Maybe you should let Ms.Yule behind you have a word with me?" Anne's tone was indifferent.Felicia's expression darkened as she watched the two of them st

Chapter 7

"She…"Connor almost revealed the truth, but seeing Felicia sobbing uncontrollably in his arms, he recalled the doctor's words.'Her emotions are very unstable right now, and she's heavily dependent on you. Try not to provoke her, or it might lead to psychological issues.'If it had not been for him taking Felicia on that trip, she would not have gone missing.In the end, the responsibility still lay with him.Connor let Felicia cling to him, watching Anne's figure disappear from sight.Carrying Felicia in his arms, he felt a mix of guilt and irritation. "She has nothing to do with me. Let me take you home."A flash of jealousy passed through Felicia's eyes, but she obediently wrapped her arms around Connor's neck and nodded.…"Are you okay?" Anne pulled some tissues from the car and carefully wiped the corner of Walter's mouth."Anne, what Connor said earlier…""Walter," Anne interrupted, taking a step back. "How soon can you draft a divorce agreement?"Her words created a

Chapter 8

"I have a meeting tonight to discuss a collaboration."Finally finding a reason to speak with her, Connor blocked Anne in the living room as she came out for a glass of water.For days, Anne had not only moved into the guest bedroom but also ignored him entirely. At the office, she only spoke to him when necessary for work. At home, she would shut herself in the study.The investment they last negotiated was at the contract-signing stage. Connor seized the opportunity to start a conversation."Got it," Anne replied curtly, finishing her water without any unnecessary words before heading upstairs.Connor, frustrated, followed her. Just as she was about to close the bedroom door, he reached out to stop it, slipping inside before she could react.Pinning her against the door, he leaned in and bit her lip.The sharp pain made Anne frown. "Connor, what are you doing?"Connor did not know what had come over him.Anne had ignored him for just a few days, yet it made him so restless t

Chapter 9

During the business meeting, Connor was visibly uninterested.After being stood up once before, the business partners had a grudge and took every opportunity to urge Connor to drink."Mr. Biddle, this isn't very sporting of you," commented one of the partners when Connor only drank half his glass. The man glanced at Anne beside him, still smiling but with a faint hint of displeasure. "If you can't handle it, why not let Ms. Maddison step in for you?""Everyone knows how much Ms. Maddison dotes on Mr. Biddle. She always shields you from drinking too much."Hearing this, Connor's expression softened.When they first got married, Connor had been in a slump due to Felicia's disappearance, neglecting his work entirely.It was Anne who held everything together, attending every drinking party herself. Later, when accompanying Connor to negotiations, she would often shield him from drinking excessively, knowing his stomach could not handle it.Everyone's eyes were on Anne, including Con

Chapter 10

"Ms. Maddison, let me take over." Felicia stepped forward, grabbing Connor's hand and trying to pull him out of Anne's hold.Anne did not let go.Felicia's gaze swept over the kiss mark on Anne's neck, her smile fading. "Ms. Maddison, I'm his girlfriend."For a moment, their eyes met.Anne asked, "Has Connor ever mentioned me to you?"Felicia's expression remained unchanged. "No, he hasn't."Anne fell silent, lost in thought.Connor groggily opened his eyes. When he saw Felicia, he called out, "Felicia."Felicia's face lit up with satisfaction. Ignoring whether Anne was letting go or not, she managed to pull Connor into her arms.Seeing the familiar car, Connor instinctively moved to the back seat.Felicia could not hold him back and grew anxious. "Connor, I called for a car. Just wait a moment.""What car? This is my car." Connor opened the door and got in, pulling Felicia along with him. Once inside, he rested his head on her lap.Felicia sighed softly. "Ms. Maddison, cou
