Chapter 7

Coming back from the banquet almost exhausted all my energy, and I lay on the sofa like a zombie.

The phone rang.

To my surprise, it was my mother.

[Hello, Mom? How much does Dad need this time?]

Ever since I married into this family, she rarely called me, only when my dad had gambling debts he couldn't repay and needed me to help out urgently.

However, later on, the calls became much less frequent.

There was a pause on the other end, then she said something that left my mind blank.

[Get a divorce.]

My voice trembled uncontrollably; [What did you say?]

[Are you free to come back this weekend? We can talk more then; it's hard to explain over the phone.]

The bathroom door opened.

Chen Jingxuan came out, his bare upper body showing off charming lines.

What I always felt at night but never saw was now clearly displayed in front of me.

His eyes were bright.
