That hurtful scene she had witnessed at the seaside villa caused a great pang in her heart. Jeanette’s chest was filled with searing pain.Before her arrival, she had even wondered if this was all just a misunderstanding.Knowing Damon, why would he ever allow another woman in his bedroom so soon?She refused to believe that he had forgotten about her. He still loved her deeply before the incident. The love and indulgence in his eyes couldn’t have been a show. Mimi must have misunderstood somehow.However, to her surprise, it was all real. Damon had brought another woman to live with him not too long after her departure.Now she knew that love could be fabricated. Damon was too good of an actor, so good that she had actually believed him. She would never have believed that Damon had fallen for someone else if she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes.The pink slippers were placed in the spot where she used to put her slippers. Furthermore, her slippers were nowhere to be found. The p
“Tell him to be good to Felix and make sure he grows up healthily. Make sure he has all the love he needs.” Jeanette continued as her heart ached. “If… If the secretary is good to Felix, I will not object to them starting a family. After all, Felix needs a home with a mother and father.”Jeanette’s heart was close to breaking as she said this. The thought of the position in this house she once held being taken over by another woman caused her heart great anguish.However, she was a mother and had to put her child’s needs first, no matter how much it hurt.Felix was still a child. He couldn’t be separated from his biological mother now, but kids didn’t have a good memory. Maybe a new woman would do him some good. He’d accept her, sooner or later, and deep down, he would acknowledge her as his mother.Besides, if Felix’s memories were not fully developed, perhaps, he would forget that Jeanette was his real mother in a few years.That would be even better. At least, the position of h
“Mm…”This may have been a soft and short response, but the urgency and excitement on his face were plain to see.The secretary was sincerely happy for him, but she felt a slight tinge of disappointment too.She could tell that Damon was truly in love with Jeanette. After so many days of depression, his sadness immediately disappeared as soon as he heard of her return. Now, Damon’s eyes were shining with childlike anticipation.The secretary pursed her lips, trying her best to conceal her disappointment. She opened the car door and exited the vehicle.“Alright, go on ahead, Mr. Damon. I’ll handle the work at the office today. Once I’ve finished, I’ll send you an email tonight.”Damon didn't even have time to answer her. He swiftly drove his car away. She stood in her spot, watching the car as it exited the basement. Her heart filled with anguish.Tears filled the secretary’s eyes. She took a deep breath. ‘Ms. Leighton has finally returned. Mr. Damon will feel much better now. I
Damon clenched his fists and slowly turned his head to look at the butler who was beside him. His expression was full of anger, hurt, and a little bitterness…"If she loves me, why would she misunderstand me without talking to me to figure things out? When you truly love someone, would you give up so easily?"He still could not figure out why he was always the one who resolved every misunderstanding, conflict, and frustration that they faced...Ever since falling in love with her, he had been
Jeanette laughed bitterly at herself. It turned out that the pain the little mermaid felt was all real—the pain that felt like she was stepping on the tip of a knife.She felt like the most miserable person in the entire world. After losing her husband's love, she had to endure the pain and send Felix back to the Godfrey household. From now on, she really was on her own.It felt like a burning candle had suddenly lost its flame, and the last flicker of hope in Jeanette's heart vanished.How s
"So, no matter what happens, you’re going to advise me not to make the decision to divorce so easily, right?" Jeanette asked.The lawyer nodded. “I’ve never taken a lawsuit with the ill intention of just wanting to make money. Now, in my opinion, if you divorce Mr. Godfrey, it won’t be good for you in terms of asset division, Ms. Leighton. The Godfrey family is very influential, so you shouldn’t underestimate him. Ms. Leighton, you probably won't be able to get half of the assets, like normal couples do."Jeanette smiled bitterly. "Mr. Zimmermann, these issues are not my concerns at all. I have already made up my mind. I want to divorce Damon, and I don't want a single penny."Mr. Zimmermann frowned, "Ms. Leighton—""Mr. Zimmermann, you don't need to try to persuade me. I have already thought things through. I’ve been thinking about it these days. Please help me prepare a divorce agreement..."Mr. Zimmermann sighed and nodded helplessly. "Okay then. Tell me the specific commands a
It turned out that she was angry because of that. Zeke had been under the impression that it was because she did not want their relationship to be made public. It turned out that he was overthinking. He thought that Mimi was adorable for getting angry over her so-called ugly pictures."Are you that upset? I think those two pictures look quite beautiful." The expression on Zeke's face was kind and gentle. When he looked at Mimi, his expression was as sweet as honey.Mimi was still genuinely angry that the pictures did not look good enough."Of course I'm upset! What's beautiful about it? Look at this picture, it made me look so fat. Gosh! I’m too embarrassed to face everyone! Ah... Had I known that, I would’ve eaten less when I was in the hospital." She felt like crying, but Zeke thought she was cute.He sat next to her gently and put his arms around her shoulders to comfort her, "You’re not fat at all, alright? In my eyes, you’re beautiful no matter what."Mimi was stunned for a m
Zeke knew that he was not in Mimi’s heart, and he was willing to wait until the day she would accept him sincerely.Mimi noticed the apparent sadness in Zeke's eyes and felt the guilt again."Zeke… I'm sorry, I’m not…"Zeke curled his lips and smiled softly. "Don't worry, I understand. I’ll wait for you. Anyway, we have a lifetime together, right?"Mimi was taken aback for a moment and then nodded.But there was also a layer of complexity slowly spreading in her eyes.In fact, the moment when the words "a lifetime" came out of Zeke's mouth, her heart trembled. That inexplicable sense of resistance reappeared.When she thought of staying with Zeke for the rest of her life, she did not even have the feeling of anticipation at all. Instead, she had a feeling that their life would be predictable and dull. It made her feel helpless.Mimi shook her head desperately to get rid of the messy, strange thoughts in her mind.‘Mimi, how can you be so ungrateful? You have a good man who lov
