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!

"He seems to genuinely have something to say to you. Go out and meet him. Once you clarify everything, he won't bother you anymore, and you'll have peace of mind," Alex suggested.

Hearing Alex's words, Ava felt a dull ache in her heart. She nodded, stood up, and opened the door. Nathan, who was hesitating whether to continue knocking, was surprised when the door suddenly opened.

It was Ava who opened the door, leaving Nathan uncertain and a bit uneasy.

"Let's talk," Ava said calmly, remembering Alex's advice and suppressing her emotions.

Nathan observed Ava's expression. She had been furious not long ago, but now she appeared calm. Did Alex tell her something? Regardless, Ava's willingness to talk was a positive start.

"Let's discuss it here. I want this over quickly; I still have to cook," Ava said coldly.
