In a marriage of convenience, Nathan, after a night of drinking, has an affair with Ava, leading to her ectopic pregnancy. 

Before the surgery, Ava calls Nathan, who is preoccupied with his mistress and neglects Ava, even going as far as to accuse her of having an affair and carrying another man's child after the surgery...

As their one-year contractual marriage comes to an end, Nathan realizes his feelings for Ava. 

But Ava is not willing to play along anymore!

Excerpt：

"I am Nathan Ford's girlfriend, loved by him, as everyone knows. And you... you're just a title holder, soon to be thrown out. By then, you'll lose all your dignity... no, you've already lost it. I bet your deceased mother would turn in her grave if she knew what you've become."

Hearing Iris Hart's sharp and biting words, Ava Sterling initially didn't want to stoop to her level. 

However, the mention of her late mother crossed a line.

A crisp slap echoed before Iris Hart could even react, leaving five bright red marks on her face.

"Ah—Ava Sterling—you lowlife, how dare you hit me..." Iris Hart realized she had been slapped and reached out to retaliate, but Ava Sterling was prepared and caught her hand easily.

"Listen, Iris Hart, if I'm the joke, what does that make you? You're also a joke. At least I'm Nathan Ford's wife by law! You! Iris Hart, are nothing but a mistress scorned by everyone. Every wealthy man may stray, but a hotel is just a hotel, and home is home. There can be many dishes, but there's only one bowl of rice."

Ex-husband seeks remarriage？I'm not cooperating!

As Iris approached, she discreetly scrutinized the man before her. He was about six feet tall, with no major flaws in his features, yet nothing particularly remarkable either. His face was adorned with a standard black-framed pair of glasses, and his black suit jacket gave him a somewhat stiff and uninspired appearance, a far cry from Nathan, Iris thought with a sneer.

Upon hearing Iris's voice, Matthew Garcia felt a shiver run through him. After years abroad, surrounded by bold and open blonde beauties, the sight of Iris's sweet, delicate, and exquisitely beautiful face left him astonished and intrigued.

"It's been years, Iris, and you've become even more graceful and lovely," Matthew Garcia remarked, his tone clearly reflecting his favorite for her.

"Thank you for the compliment, Cousin," Iris replied, blushing and lowering her head shyly.
