Before they got married, Laurent already knew that Dave Washington had another woman in his heart, yet she still chose to marry him because Dave had always been the one she loved. She loved Dave, but his heart belonged to another woman. It was said that this woman loved another man, who happened to be Dave's illegitimate half-brother. Laurent believed that having a child would secure their shaky marriage.
Until one day, the woman Dave loved finally told him, "Actually, the person I love is you."
Laurent had devoted her youth and energy to this sensational and messy love story, only to helplessly watch it collapse. Heartbroken, she chose to divorce.
She thought Dave's infidelity would make her easily give up on the house, car, and property during the divorce, with the only request being custody of their daughter. But to her surprise, Dave insisted that she was unfit to raise their daughter and refused to give her custody.
In order to fight for her daughter, she embarked on a long and exhausting legal battle.
She said to him, "You're so persistent—aren't you worried your lover is waiting for you anxiously?"
Dave smiled and replied, "If you have time to worry about her, you might as well get a new lawyer."
In a fit of rage, she threw a cup of water in his face. "Dave Washington, you're despicable!"
Yes, every lawyer she hired was bought off by him with large sums of money. Finally, disheartened, she gave up custody of their daughter and decided to leave the country to heal.
But he sent someone to intercept her at the airport...

You‘re Just My Ex-Husband,My Lord

On the other end, Morrison was so shocked his jaw practically dropped. He exaggeratedly shouted,

"Say that again? Did I hear you right?"

Dave gritted his teeth, giving a firm response. He urgently needed a woman to confirm something.

Earlier, when Clark was dressed like that in front of him, he had no physical reaction whatsoever. Instead, the first thought that came to his mind was the time Laurent had worn a similar style of nightdress. Back then, she'd teased him so much that he left his emails half-finished to hold her and make love.

This thought irritated him, especially remembering how earlier today, when he kissed Laurent, she had called him disgusting.

So later, he deliberately allowed Clark to get close to him, hoping to drive that damn woman out of his mind.

Yet, before Clark could even kiss him, he couldn't take it anymore and pushed her away.

That was why he apologized to Clark.
