Chapter 31

"This was the kid you schemed so hard to get. You were the one who couldn't deliver a healthy baby, so why are you blaming me?"Colin turned his face away without a trace of warmth. In fact, there was even a mocking glint in his eyes when he looked at Aspen."Surely you haven't forgotten how you shamelessly crawled into my bed back then, or how you plotted to give birth to a child. Since you liked children so much, fine. I'm willing to give you another one."He then stepped forward, tilted Aspen's chin, and kissed her.It was revolting—unbearably revolting. Aspen had never imagined she would feel such disgust. She mustered all her strength and shoved Colin away."We're already divorced, Colin Fuller. Could you please have some dignity?"Colin had never expected his attempt at a kiss would be rejected. Anger flashed in his eyes."Aspen, we never got a divorce certificate. We're still husband and wife, so why are you acting so coy?"He was just giving her what she wanted. Why was

Chapter 32

It was a threat—a blatant, undisguised threat.Aspen knew Colin was ruthless. If he said something, he meant it. She rushed out of the room without hesitation, stepping in front of Aren to shield him. "You're not allowed to touch him!""You're giving me orders? Aspen, do you even think you have the right?"Colin raised an eyebrow and let out a cold scoff. He had to admit, watching Aspen defend another man right in front of him made his anger surge uncontrollably."Colin, whatever happens between us, don't drag anyone else into it!""At least you know it's between us." Colin sneered. His gaze was as sharp as a blade as it swept over the two of them. He then shoved Aren aside and strode off without another word.Aspen's heart pounded with fear. She immediately turned back to Aren. "I'm so sorry. This is my fault. I dragged you into this. But don't worry, I'll make sure—""I'm not afraid of him." Aren cut her off firmly.He had studied abroad and had recently returned to start his

Chapter 33

"I'm fine!" Aspen grew anxious. It was just a minor bone fracture—what was the point of resting any longer?But Aren completely ignored her protests. Without a word, he lifted her into his arms and gently placed her back on the bed."Rest and recover properly." His tone was firm, yet there was a gentleness in it, just like years ago. And yet, it didn't feel exactly the same.Aspen couldn't explain why, but despite being apart for years, there wasn't even a hint of awkwardness between them. Their tacit understanding remained, and there was an unspoken connection that felt effortlessly natural."Get some rest first. I'll go get you something to eat." Aren smiled, then turned and walked out of the room.A sense of warmth spread through Aspen's heart as she watched his retreating figure, slowly filling the cracks that had long existed there.At that moment, the door swung open, and Zac stepped inside. He stood before Aspen, his face twisted with unconcealed disgust."Aspen, I've tru

Chapter 34

Aren stood at the doorway with his fists clenched tightly. His face was dark with fury as he watched Aspen in her moment of helplessness and despair.Years ago, he had made a split-second decision, one that had led him to leave. He had never imagined that the moment he walked away, the woman he loved would suffer such humiliation and hardship.If he had known what would happen to her, he would never have left. He would have found a way to carve out his own path right here, in this country.But regrets meant nothing. There were no second chances in life.At that thought, his expression shifted again. He picked up his phone and personally arranged everything with the funeral home, ensuring every detail of Sophie's farewell was handled perfectly.After being discharged from the hospital, Aspen went straight to the funeral home. She wanted to give Sophie a proper send-off. But she was stunned when she stepped inside and saw the room filled with plush toys.She stared at Aren in disbe

Chapter 35

Aren had never expected that a simple trip abroad for further studies would cause him to miss so much.Back then, he had drowned himself in alcohol and despair for quite some time when he had heard that Aspen had gotten married and even given birth to a child. He had thought it was just a one-sided infatuation on his part.But after listening to her side, he felt like there was more to the story than he had originally believed."Enough for now. You're exhausted. Go home and rest for a few days. Once you've recovered, come and find me. I'll personally take you to the company to start your new job." He gently patted her head, and his voice was as soft as ever.Looking at Aren, Aspen felt something flicker to life inside her—a tiny spark of hope.But just as quickly as it appeared, she smothered it. She had no right to entertain such thoughts. All she could do was smile at Aren before turning around and heading back into her small, worn-down apartment.She smiled faintly to herself

Chapter 36

Gwyneth's face twisted with rage as she grabbed Aspen's wrist and forced her backward."What right do you have to compete with me? You're nothing!" she hissed. "Colin and I are meant to be together. You're just a filthy whore who climbed into his bed. Even your daughter was just as worthless as you!"Aspen had endured enough. She used all her strength and slapped Gwyneth across the face—hard. She yanked her by the hair and shoved her head down without hesitation, forcing her to kneel before Sophie's photograph."Aspen Nicholls, how dare you hit me? Let go of me!" Gwyneth shrieked while struggling desperately.But she would never understand—when a mother was pushed beyond her limits, there was no telling what she was capable of.Aspen held onto Gwyneth's hair with an iron grip. She kicked her hard in the knee, making her buckle, then pressed her other hand firmly against the back of her neck to force Gwyneth's head down with brutal strength.Gwyneth could say whatever she wanted,

Chapter 37

Gwyneth wrapped her arms around Colin's neck and whispered softly, "I'm only doing this for you. What if she tries to play tricks and refuses to finalize the divorce? Colin, we went through so much to get here. I can't bear to see you struggle."As she spoke, tears welled up again. "I know… I know I'm not in the right, but I don't have a choice. I don't want to leave you. I can't leave you."Her sobs grew more intense, and her body suddenly trembled and stiffened.Colin's chest tightened. He knew all too well what this meant—it was a physical symptom of her depression.Panic surged through him. He quickened his pace without hesitation, rushing her to the hospital as fast as possible. He then immediately arranged for the best specialist to see her."Mr. Fuller, Ms. Sanders' emotional state has been highly unstable. I'm afraid her depression is relapsing. She's already showing physical symptoms. If this continues, she may revert to her previous condition. Mr. Fuller, you need to fin

Chapter 38

Aspen let out a cold laugh. She had never cared about these things when they had been husband and wife. But now that they were parting ways, she would make sure every cent was accounted for.Colin looked at her in surprise. The woman standing before him felt completely unfamiliar. She used to obey him without question. Why did it feel like she had become an entirely different person?He grabbed the document she had thrown at him and scanned it quickly. His expression darkened."This is impossible! Aspen, you really have no shame when it comes to money. You actually dared to forge legal documents?"Colin stood up, stepping in close to Aspen as his hand reached out to clamp around her throat. The hostility radiating from him was suffocating, but Aspen only found it laughable."Surely you know better than I do what level Fuller Group's legal team operates at. If you think this document is fake, go ahead and ask them. "We were once married, and I won't take a penny more than what I'

Chapter 39

Gwyneth had once thought that marrying Colin would guarantee her a life of ease and security. Never in her wildest dreams had she expected something like this to come out of nowhere.This…Panic surged through Gwyneth. If she had known that Fuller Group wasn't in Colin's hands, she would have been better off seducing Aspen instead!And now? After all her scheming, all she had managed to get was an empty shell?Colin raised an eyebrow and looked at Gwyneth. "Gwen, how are you feeling now?" His voice was gentle, but there was a trace of scrutiny in his eyes.Despite the chaos in her mind, Gwyneth quickly collected herself and slipped seamlessly into her role. She cast Colin a pitiful glance before saying in a soft and fragile voice, "Colin, I'm fine… Please don't argue with Ms. Nicholls anymore. She… She always follows through on her words. I don't want you to lose too much because of me."The moment she said this, Colin's expression softened. Looking at the delicate, considerate

Chapter 40

Aspen was surprised. She hesitated for a moment before taking the document and looking at Aren in confusion."How did you know about this?""I work in tech. Finding out about these things is easy," Aren replied matter-of-factly as he opened the takeout containers.It was the first time Aspen had ever heard someone say something so bold with such confidence.She suddenly realized that while Aren had become more mature and steady over the years, deep down, he was still the same as before—just as arrogant and a little childish in a way she couldn't quite describe."Food comes first, always. Eat first, then we'll talk." He handed her a pair of utensils while flashing her a warm smile.Aren had been by her side for the past few days. His care was subtle yet ever-present—somehow, Aspen always felt it, even though he never made a big deal of it.She looked at the utensils in his outstretched hand, then at the steaming dishes on the table. A strange feeling settled in her chest.Back t
