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

Laurent thought about everything she had been through—from her marriage to Dave, her pregnancy and miscarriage, to Maggie spreading rumors about her being a discarded woman at the factory, and the recent scandal with Leonardo that made headlines. If Bert tried to ruin her reputation again, she wasn't sure if she could handle it anymore.

Dave, sensing her anxiety, tried to comfort her.

"Don't think about it if you don't know. Overthinking won't do any good."

His warm palm cupped her cheek, and his deep, soothing voice followed.

"No matter what happens in the future, just know I'll always stand by you and always believe in you."

His words calmed Laurent, making her feel lighter inside. She wrapped her arms around his waist and leaned into his embrace, listening to his steady heartbeat and feeling his warmth.

They stayed like that for a while, relishing each other's closeness before parting ways.
