How amicable can a divorce be? According to Amber Anderson, the key to a dignified divorce is for both parties to demonstrate maturity, composure, and grace. Additionally, it is important for one to maintain emotional stability throughout the process. Upon meeting her ex-husband again, Amber was pleased with her own behavior. She was even able to greet him as if he were an old friend she hadn't seen in a while: "Mr. Roseworth, it's been a while. How have you been?" They found themselves at a cocktail party on a cruise, surrounded by bustling people. There was a strange fire in his eyes, but he remained silent. Before long, he suddenly pulled her into a secluded and empty corner, his strong hands firmly gripping her. He pressed her against the wall, gently wrapped his arms around her waist, and slowly moved closer. His hot breath brushed against her ear as he whispered, "Do you not know how I have been?" With that, the course of the cruise shifted and the ship gradually spun out of control.
View MoreAmber was at a loss forunsure how to respond. L, lacking experience in such situations,. All she could only mustermanage was a stammering laugh: "Uh, it's fine.""So, what about you?" Noah asked."What about me?""What kind of person do you like?"Amber was tongue-tied.Alona stepped in to answer for her: "Someone gentle, gentlemanly, with a decent family background, a stable career, and good looks."Alona's description perfectly matched Ronald, tichecking off each trait one by one.Noah listened and smiled lightly. "Except for the good looks, which is subjective, I think I meet the other criteria."Alona tilted her head, scrutinizing his face. "Not quite the same, but still handsome in a different way."Noah caught on. "So, Dr. Anderson... do you have someone you like?"A head suddenly popped up from behind, whispering, "She's already broken up."Amber glanced at Alona, who immediately raised her hands in surrender: "It wasn't me, really."Then she promptly smacked the guy
Noah shrugged, "Unfortunately, I lost my luggage when I returned to the country, so I didn't bring it back."Alona quickly asked, "Do you remember what was written in the love letter?""It was so long ago, I doubt he remembers," Amber interjected. "Love letters usually contain confessions and maybe some poetry.""Noah, you tell us."The gossip clearly attracted more attention than the singing.Alona had invited seven or eight people. Some were eating fruit, others were drinking, and some were singing. Now they all gathered around.Amber felt like she was an exhibit at a zoo, surrounded and stared at by curious onlookers.Noah calmly said, "I remember that letter very well. The first sentence was—"He paused for effect, then continued, "Your fly is open."Silence filled the room.He spoke again, "Looks big."There was a crash as the fruit platter was kicked off the table, shattering the glass plate and scattering fruit everywhere.When Amber came back to her senses, Alona wa
She gave a slightly embarrassed smile and accepted the tissue. "Thank you.""The lyrics are really good, right?" he said."Yes.""Old songs are classics for a reason. They always evoke deep emotions and make you cry without realizing it."Amber felt a warmth in her heart. He was trying to attribute her tears to the power of the old song, excusing her moment of vulnerability."Hi, I'm Noah Gale, Alona's family friend.""Hi, I'm Amber.""I've heard about you. You're the youngest obstetrics and gynecology specialist at Central Hospital. You're quite well-known in Havana City's medical community."Amber was a bit surprised. "Are you a doctor too?"Noah nodded. "Yes, but I studied abroad and just returned this year."Amber smiled. "So we're colleagues.""You sing beautifully," he added. "I'm not just being polite. It really suited the song.""Thank you. Maybe it's because of my current emotions."Suddenly, an arm draped over her shoulder, startling Amber. She turned to see Alon
Alona felt a little confused as the man gently nudged her away and directed her towards the fruit platter. He took her place next to Amber, but kept a respectful distance, close enough to talk without being intrusive.The introductory music began.Amber wasn't stunningly beautiful, but she had a very appealing appearance - elegant, soft, and gentle. Alona often said that looking at her made everything feel calm and peaceful, and that everything was good."It's starting in five, four, three, two..."Amber held the microphone, singing softly along to the rhythm: "We haven't truly experienced the season when snowflakes bloom, we shiver together, understanding what gentleness means, we haven't walked hand in hand through desolate dunes..."Her voice wasn't as ethereal as Faye Winter's, but it had its own soothing quality.Someone nudged Alona's arm: "Hey, Alona, you lied! Your friend sings really well. How can you say she can't sing?"Alona, still chewing on a piece of watermelon, w
Amber opened Instagram to check. It was true, he had changed his profile picture. The previous one was a serene white cloud, elegant and pure. Now, it was a cartoon of a little boy puckering up for a kiss to the right. Amber's profile picture must be a cartoon girl kissing to the left. This was completely out of character for Ronald, and clearly a couple's profile picture. No wonder Alona was so furious.With a creak, Alona opened the balcony door and returned to the living room. Amber put her phone away in her pocket. As soon as Alona came in, she looked around cautiously, like a guard dog.Amber found it amusing. "What are you looking for?""Where's your phone? I don't see it.""Oh, I was standing by the window and didn't want to drop it, so I put it in my pocket. Why?"Alona visibly relaxed and hugged her shoulder. "No reason, just worried you might drop it. We're on the sixteenth floor; if it fell, it would shatter into pieces."Amber smiled. "True."Alona said, "Try to stay
Amber believed that Alona had a valid point.At the age of twenty-six, she considered herself mature enough to handle a breakup like an adult. Alona, on the other hand, was only seventeen at the time, an age prone to impulsive decisions. She truly felt like her world had ended and been reborn after experiencing a physically painful breakup.Curious, Amber asked, "How did you manage to get through it back then?"Alona shrugged indifferently. "How did I get through it? I simply got through it. Life goes on, regardless of who is in it. Time heals all wounds."Amber nodded in agreement. Ultimately, it just took time. She wasn't afraid to feel sad; she just hoped that this period of sadness would be shorter, even if only by a little.Suddenly, Alona flashed a mischievous smile at her. "They say the fastest way to move on from someone is to start seeing someone new. Do you want me to introduce you to a few guys?"Amber shook her head. "Do you really think I'm in the mood for that right
How long does it take to move on? Is it a matter of hours, days, months, or even years?Amber had no idea how long it would take for Ronald to recover from it. The woman he had loved for over two decades was finally back by his side, and the joy of being reunited with her and fulfilling his long-held desire would soon overshadow the pain of losing their child.There are four significant joys in life: the wedding night, passing important exams, fulfilling a long-held desire, and meeting an old friend in a faraway place. Ronald was now experiencing two and a half of these joys all at once. With his career and love life flourishing, this must be the happiest period of his life.As for the child... or rather, the fertilized egg, it was just a small regret in his thirty-one years of existence. With the woman he loved beside him, they could have more children in the future. The Roseworth family always desired a large family, and they might even have several more children. Ronald had much
Ember finally understood why Ronald had been acting so strangely that day. Softening her tone, she asked, "But you love me, don't you?""…""We're going to get married. Having a child would just disrupt our happiness. Isn't it easy for you to have a child? We'll have our own kids. Besides, the baby I'm carrying will take your last name, Roseworth.""…""Don't overthink it. She was only one month pregnant. It wasn't even a baby yet, just a fertilized egg, a cell, just a bit of blood…""Stop talking."Ronald's mind flashed to the blood-soaked tissue. The deep red color burned painfully in his heart."When will you be back? I'm waiting to have dinner with you.""I need to be alone for a while. Don't wait for me. Just eat."...The distance from the OB-GYN department to the medical waste disposal center was less than 200 meters. Amber could usually cover that distance in two minutes, thanks to years of practice. But today, it took her over twenty minutes, with Alona supporting he
Ember was taken aback by Ronald's unexpectedly cold attitude. She took a deep breath, trying to suppress her anger. Right now, her priority was to reconcile with Ronald, so she had to lower her stance. Once they spent more time together, she believed she could regain control, just like the old days when Ronald would do anything for her.With this thought in mind, Ember felt a little reassured and asked, "You seem upset. Did you find her?""...Yes.""Did she threaten you with the child, using it as leverage? Or is she using the divorce to claim your assets? Ronald, don't worry. I'm experienced in handling divorce cases. Leave it to me, and I won't let her take a penny from the Roseworth family.""Ember!" Ronald groaned in anguish. "She's not like that! She doesn't want anything!"She doesn't want anything, not even him.Ember's tone became cheerful and somewhat surprised. "Then what are you worried about? Isn't that great?"She chuckled softly, her tone lightening."This Dr. And
