The change in our relationship came after an
incident at a party. Ethan was drugged, and
we ended up…well, you know.
Me: “…‘
And that’s how I got pregnant with our
second child.
The difference was, this time he was
exceptionally gentle, genuinely acting like a
coring husband
<
Like many rich kids, he also had a close
childhood sweetheart.
Elaine and he would meet right under my
nose, drinking coffee and chatting.
I didn’t care.
The first time I saw them, I even felt a little
awkward.
Like I was interrupting their private time.
I quickly left, but Ethan misunderstood,
thinking I was jealous.
“You’re my wife, you should be more
magnanimous,” he said seriously.
“There’s nothing going on between Flaine and
く
- me. You shouldn’t embarrass her.”
He apologized to Elaine on my behalf and
bought her a bunch of luxury goods.
When Ethan’s mother found out, she called
him in for a scolding.
Ethan, in turn, blamed me.
He took it out on me that night.
I racked my brain trying to understand.
Why were men so obsessed with exercise?
Life went on like this.
Ethan was clingy and annoying, his moods
unpredictable, sulking at the slightest
Г
Our two children took after him.
They knew their father was a wealthy heir and
competed to imitate him, vying for his
attention.
Sometimes I wanted to scold them, but Ethan
and his mother would always stop me.
Whatever.
They all had the Harris last name anyway.
It was fine if someone else disciplined them.
I thought this life would continue indefinitely.
But unexpectedly, as Elaine and Ethan grew
closer, things took a turn.
く
Ethan finally seemed to make up his mind to
divorce me, the wife he’d never loved.
This was fantastic news.
It was like I’d been sentenced to life

The surrounding diners stared in disbelief.
Then someone came over and said with a
smile,

I slept until noon.
After waking up, I savored the details of my
dream.
Yeah.
Ethan was really annoying.
Caleb was really delicious.
Caleb was a real catch.
He won all three major championships ahead
of schedule.
The day he became a sports star, he dodged
his fans and came to find me at my dorm.
く
Olivia was prepared. She glanced at me
hiding behind her and said, “This depends on
what Chloe wants…”
I shyly nodded frantically at Olivia.
Olivia pulled me out.
Caleb blushed when he saw me.
One of us flushed dark, the other flushed
light. Not a bad match.
I walked Caleb to the school gate.
As we parted, I discreetly touched his hand.
So warm.
く
Like freshly baked bread.
I couldn’t resist, and discreetly touched his
waist.
So firm.
Even better than a fitness trainer’s.
Before I could wipe the mischievous grin off
my face, I made eye contact with someone.
Ethan stared at me, eyes wide.
He seemed to have run over, his shirt
disheveled, breathing heavily.
His face was filled with anger, and he
shouted,
く
“Chloe, what are you doing!”
Before I could speak, Caleb spoke first.
“It’s not like you’re being touched. Mind your
own business.”
He then placed my hand, which I’d just
nervously withdrawn, back on his waist.
So embarrassing…
My face was as red as a boiled shrimp.
Ethan’s lips trembled, his body swaying
slightly.
“Chloe, do you really have feelings for
someone else…”
く
“How could you do this to me?”
I ignored Ethan and, after saying goodbye to
Caleb, went back to my dorm right in front of
him.
Leaving him standing there, looking utterly
devastated.
That evening…
I’d just finished studying and was about to get
some fried chicken when Ethan suddenly
appeared, blocking my path.
A wealthy heir, someone who valued his
image above all else, was actually blocking
someone on campus?

He stared at me intently under the moonlight.
The moon was bright.
The night air was cool.
Ethan said, “I should have known.”
‘Chloe, you’ve forgotten me, that’s why you
haven’t contacted me for so long.”
“You’ve forgotten me, that’s why you’re using
other men to provoke me, to hurt me.”
I rolled my eyes impatiently, still thinking
about those spicy chicken wings.
Ethan sighed.
“Forget it.”
く
“If you remembered the past, you would hate
- me. It’s better to start over.”
“Now, we still have a chance.”
The usually aloof and arrogant heir’s eyes
were red–rimmed.
He looked at me with hope, relief, and
excitement still swirling in his gaze.
“This time, let’s start over.”
“Let me pursue you again. This time, we’ll
never be apart.”
I paused and said,
“Uh, but I don’t plan on being with you.‘
Ethan froze.
I confessed, “Honestly, I don’t have feelings
for you.”
The light instantly vanished from Ethan’s
eyes.
His lips pressed into a thin line, his face pale.
He took a few steps closer, grabbing my
wrist, and said stubbornly,
“I don’t believe you.”
“In our past life, you loved me so much, we
lived together, we had two children.”
I scratched my head and asked, “If that’s the
case, why did we end up separating?”
Ethan was silent for a moment, regret
flashing in his eyes.
“I was too idealistic.”
“I thought a wife should be talented, someone
who could stand by my side as an equal.”
“I didn’t realize that a kind and gentle woman
who can take care of the family is the
foundation of a happy life.”
I didn’t really take care of you.
You’re flattering yourself.
