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

Although the dinner had to proceed despite the minor incident, Laurent couldn't shake off the discomfort whenever she thought about the phone call Dave made to Adeline.

Leonardo wasn't in a much better mood, though he didn't show it.

As a man, Leonardo could sense the blatant provocation coming from Dave.

Leonardo sneered inwardly. A man who only cherishes what he's lost—what's there to be proud of?

After dinner, the four parted ways. Adeline left with Eddie, while Leonardo drove Laurent home.

On the way to Laurent's place, she finally spoke up after some thought.

"You'd better head back tomorrow. Go do whatever you need to do. If you're taking a break, find a proper place where you can actually relax and rest."

Leonardo tilted his head to look at her, his eyes shimmering with faint light.

"Being here with you is exactly where I can relax and rest."
