Ava and Liam had been secretly married for three years when Liam suddenly proposed a divorce. Ava took the money and left. As an art appraiser, she had an amazing career in the art and antique world, becoming well-known and successful. After the divorce, seeing Ava shining brightly on TV, Liam deeply regretted his decision. He turned into a wife-chaser, pursuing her all over the world, but Ava, busy with her career, refused him. Later, Ava met Ethan, her savior from her youth. On the day of her wedding to Ethan, Liam was seriously injured. She left the wedding and rushed to Liam's side. Finally, Liam knelt down on one knee with a diamond ring, asking her to remarry.

Ava recoiled, trying to dodge him.

Ava felt the temperature drop a solid ten degrees around him.

The hand that had been holding her chin slid down her back, wrapping around her waist. He asked, "Why'd you tell Ethan I'm your cousin?"

Ava lowered her gaze, saying softly, "Look, we're getting a divorce soon anyway. No need to make a whole production out of telling everyone we're married. Plus, your family's kinda a big deal. If my coworkers find out after the split, they'll judge me. I don't want to be labeled the 'rich guy's cast-off wife.' Saying you're my distant cousin is just easier."

Liam gave her a knowing look. "You've thought this through pretty thoroughly."

Ava gave a self-deprecating chuckle. "What else am I gonna do? It's just survival instinct for a nobody."

"You're no nobody. There aren't many people in this city who can tell me what to do." A teasing smile played on his lips as he looked at her.
