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

Because Laurent didn't understand French at all, she just focused on eating.

Dave knew some basic French, so his communication with Mr. Brown went smoothly. Occasionally, he acted as a translator for her.

Mrs. Brown, though quite old, still behaved like a little child in front of Mr. Brown. Sometimes she would act spoiled, cover her mouth and giggle coquettishly, or scold him playfully like a young girl.

Laurent couldn't help but feel envious.

She had once thought that this was the best kind of love, but as time passed, she had become increasingly silent in front of Dave, the man she loved, and began to doubt the truth of that idea.

Over time, she came to understand. The truth of that saying relied on the premise that the man you loved also loved you back. What she had with Dave before, that couldn't truly be called love.

Love, after all, should be mutual.
