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...

Dave felt annoyed just thinking about it. Earlier that morning, he had another argument with Laurent over Clark.

He turned around and sat down on the sofa, talking to his mother.

"I've told her, don't contact me with her problems anymore."

There was no issue with Clark, but the problem lay with Laurent. Dave continued,

"But Laurent is still upset about all of this."

"I think you don't need to rush things now. You've just divorced. When Laurent thinks of you, the first thing that comes to mind are the hurts you caused her. The more you push, the deeper the resistance in her heart will grow."

Dave thought about his recent interactions with Laurent and realized his mother was right.

Even though he had confessed his feelings, she hadn't reacted with any surprise. In fact, she became more distant and repelled.
