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

The secretary's words made Dave reflect for a moment. It was true—since arriving at the office that morning, he had been working non-stop. In the back of his mind, he had one thought: finish today's work as quickly as possible so he could leave early and meet a certain little woman.

Even though she didn't seem to care much for him.

He hadn't realized that his fast-paced efficiency had unintentionally put a lot of pressure on his subordinates.

"You don't have to keep up with my pace. Just work at your usual efficiency."

Then, she rushed out to spread the good news.

Dave took a sip of his coffee and glanced at the time—exactly 4:00 PM. Parents could start picking up their children from kindergarten at 4:30. He knew Laurent would definitely be there first to pick up their daughter.
