Janet Longfellow finally understood that a loveless marriage couldn't last for long, so she asked for a divorce and left resolutely. Everyone was waiting to have a good laugh at her, and Nathaniel Webster was no exception. He believed Janet would come back to pray for his forgiveness sooner or later. However, he was slapped on the face every day after they got divorced. The heir of Longfellow Group? The mysterious genius of hacking? And she was even the well-known designer he wanted to work with! A popular best actor, a young racing driver, and an excellent rich single lined up to confess Janet. Nathaniel finally couldn't sit still. He knocked on Janet's door and confessed affectionately, "Honey, please forgive me. I love you, let's remarry." Janet responded, "Thank you, but I'm not interested. A loveless marriage can't last long!" The tables had turned.
"Nathaniel Webster, let's get a divorce."
Janet Longfellow stared at her phone for a long time, took a deep breath, and finally sent the message without hesitation.
Throwing the phone on the coffee table, she knelt on the floor and began to pack her luggage.
She didn't stop, and neither were the thoughts in her mind.
She and Nathaniel had been married for three years. She had loved him humbly in the past three years, but there had always been another woman in his heart.
And that woman named Anastasia Lambert had returned.
That was why she received such a photo of Anastasia leaning intimately beside Nathaniel, smiling softly and brightly.
That smile hurt Janet deeply. More ironically, the date shown in the photo was her 23rd birthday.
Her husband spent a day with another woman on her birthday.
That was just ridiculous...
Old Mr. Webster arranged their marriage, and she thought she could win her heart by loving him with all she got.
Now, she realized that she was wrong.
In Nathaniel's opinion, she was a woman with motives and greed. Compared with Anastasia, she was nothing.
Now, the time had come to let him go.
Janet raised her head, held back her tears, and closed her suitcase forcefully.
When Nathaniel stepped into the house at midnight, Janet was going downstairs with a large suitcase.
Thinking of the message the woman sent a few hours ago, his face darkened.
"It's already midnight. What are you doing?"
The man's voice was as cold as ever.
Janet raised her head upon hearing the sound.
The soft light shone on Nathaniel's body, creating a hazy circle of light. His facial features were sculptural, and his eyes were deep and beautiful.
Even though she had made up her mind to break up with Nathaniel, her heart still fluttered uncontrollably when she saw him.
"Stop being a fool."
After Janet warned herself, she walked up to Nathaniel, put down her suitcase, took out a stack of documents from her bag, and handed them over.
"This is the divorce agreement. I have already signed it. After you sign it, we will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get divorced tomorrow."
Nathaniel frowned even tighter.
He didn't know whether she was acting or not.
And he didn't believe that a person who was greedy like her would be willing to divorce and give up her current luxurious life.
"Janet, is this your new trick?"
Nathaniel didn't even look at her, and his tone was impatient. He walked past her and prepared to go upstairs to wash up.
Seeing that he was leaving, Janet felt a dull pain in her heart.
He had always been like this, impatient and cold. He wouldn't spend even a minute on her...
Janet said softly while clenching both of her hands,
"Nathaniel, I'll divorce you without any compensation."
Nathaniel paused and suddenly turned to look at her with disbelief.
The woman in front of him suddenly showed a sweet smile, but her voice was contemptuous and mocking.
"Why? Are you unwilling to let me go?"
Under the light, her eyes shone like sparkling crystal pieces.
Nathaniel had never seen her with such an attitude, and he noticed something different in her eyes. But before he could tell what it was, he was irritated by her words.
Picking up the pen, Nathaniel directly turned to the last page, and he really saw what she had just said.
He paused, ignoring the unreasonable irritability in his heart, and signed his name.
Then, with a snap, he threw the divorce agreement into Janet's arms with a sarcastic smile.
"I'll play your game."
Janet also smiled slightly and said,
"Tomorrow at 9 am, I will wait for you at the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau."
Janet took her suitcase and sat down on the bench by the fountain in the neighborhood.
In the past, she often sat here, sometimes waiting for Nathaniel to come home, sometimes just sitting there, looking at the people coming and going.
Looking back now, she lived too humble these years, and she had lost herself...
A car accident ten years ago almost killed her, but Nathaniel risked his life to save her.
To her, Nathaniel is not only her beloved but also her savior.
For him, she was willing to give everything, even her own life.
Unfortunately, he couldn't remember what had happened in the past. She took care of him, but she was just a substitute. Now, his loved one had returned. She had to end everything and be herself again.
The diamond ring on her ring finger was shining in the darkness. Janet slowly took it off and put it in her pocket.
She looked at the two-story building that she used to call home for the last time, stood up, and walked towards the gate of the neighborhood.
In the distance, she saw a silver-gray sports car parked on the side of the road, with a tall man leaning beside it.
Janet let out a long breath as if she wanted to bury all the sadness in her heart in the darkness of tonight.
Then, she smiled and walked towards the man.
But after getting closer, Janet almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
There was no one around, and it was already midnight. This man was actually wearing a mask, sunglasses, and a cap. And he was even wearing a scarf, covering his entire face. If anyone saw him, they might consider him a criminal.
Seeing the mockery in Janet's eyes, the man turned aside in embarrassment.
"I'm used to it... After all, you know my fans."
Janet smiled.
The man was Ernest Grantham.
He had a first-class appearance and acting skills, and he was the most famous actor nowadays and the most favored son of the wealthy Grantham family.
He was also her best friend.
Ernest took over her suitcase, then took off his windbreaker and put it on her shoulder. Then, he took off his sunglasses and stared at Janet's pretty face, which was a bit blushed due to the coldness.
He didn't understand why this girl, who was charming, lively, and attractive, had become so depressed.
Janet understood his concern and smiled at him.
"I'm fine, really."
Ernest opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
His eyes were more beautiful than women's, and now they were filled with anger, confusion, and distress...
He held Janet's thin shoulder with his right hand, showed his signature smile, and said brightly,
"Welcome back, Jill."
My family was on the poverty line and had no way to support me in college. I had to work part-time every day just to make ends meet and afford to get into the university. That was when I met her—the pretty girl in my class that every boy dreamt of asking out. I was well aware she was out of my league. Nevertheless, I mustered all my courage and bravely told her that I had fallen for her. To my surprise, she agreed to be my girlfriend. With the sweetest smile I had ever seen, she told me that she wanted my first gift for her to be the latest and top-of-the-line iPhone. I worked like a dog and even did my classmates’ laundry to save up. My hard work eventually paid off after a month. I finally got to buy what she wanted. But as I was wrapping my gift, I saw her in the dressing room, making out with the captain of the basketball team. She then heartlessly made fun of my inadequacy and made a fool out of me. To make things worse, the guy whom she cheated on me with even punched me in the face. Desperation washed over me, but there was nothing I could do but lie on the floor as they trampled on my feelings. But then, my father called me out of the blue, and my life turned upside down. It turned out that I was a billionaire's son.
"Miss Brown, I am the butler here at your service," the butler replied. "My master wants to buy the baby in your belly." "What?!" Does that mean the abortion didn't take place? Did they kidnap her from the operating table just to buy the baby? But why her? "You..." Alice was about to ask a question, but the man in front of her calmly continued, as if he had expected her question, "You're pregnant with his child, and he needs a child. That's all I can tell you." Alice was forced to sign a surrogacy contract and eight months later gave birth to two healthy babies. Fortunately, the man was unaware of her daughter's existence. It wasn't until five years later that fate brought them together again...
