In their 6-year marriage, Nora never succeeded in making Austin fall in love with her. Upon learning of her stage-IV cancer, she only begged for ten months. "After ten months, I will divorce you. Please, don't hate me." "What game are you playing?" "I'm tired and want to be free." Childhood sweethearts grew old as time passed. Nora loved Austin for 13 years, while Austin gave all his love to someone else. Austin decided to divorce Nora, who was suffering great pain from illness. "Austin, can you wait a little longer?" "Nora, don't love me anymore." In Austin's world, Nora was a restraint, but losing her felt like losing his heart. When all memories surfaced, Austin woke up and realized that the person he loved was always Nora. Nora died during surgery on the operating table, leaving behind their child. "I'm tired; I can't love you anymore. In the next life, let's not meet again. We forgive each other. From now on, we owe each other nothing!" Austin regretted not realizing it sooner and closed off his heart, living each day as if it were the last until one day. "Sir, I am Hannah, not Nora."
On September 7, 2019, Nora Foster received a thunderbolt of news on what seemed like an ordinary day.
"Mrs. Hayes, your gastric cancer has reached an advanced stage. Without timely treatment, you may not live beyond ten months. Please prepare yourself mentally."
Nora couldn't believe it; a routine check-up had brought her so close to the brink of the afterlife.
She had only ten months left in her life.
She steadied her breath, took out her phone from her pocket, and pressed the speed dial.
"Austin, where are you? Will you come home for dinner tonight? If you do, I'll go buy groceries now. I'll ask the housekeeper to teach me how to make your favorite dish."
For a long time, there was no response.
Nora bit her dry lips, and uncontrollable tears rolled down into her hands.
On the other end, a cold response came, "No, I have a social engagement tonight, and besides, you don't know how to cook."
The phone beeped a few times and then disconnected.
Nora withdrew her disappointment, took a deep breath, and walked out of the hospital.
She shouldn't have expected much of a response from Austin Hayes. In their five years of marriage, she had dutifully played the role of Austin's wife, but his thoughts were not on her.
She should have been content. Even if Austin didn't love her, accompanying her until the end of her life would be without regrets because she was incapable of everything, and Austin had taken care of her for five years.
Returning home, the desolate air made Nora shiver. She still ate alone, watched TV alone, slept alone, in this mansion that belonged to her and Austin. But most of the time, she was alone. She had grown accustomed to this loneliness, and it had become less frightening.
However, at this moment, she felt panicked. She was afraid that after ten months, there would be no one to take care of Austin. She feared that after her death, Austin would marry someone else. There would always be someone to replace her as Mrs. Hayes.
Feeling the bed sink, Nora, in a daze, realized that a cold body was pressed against hers. She knew it was Austin. Immediately, she threw herself into his embrace. Austin held her waist without any caress and entered her body.
She suddenly became clear-headed. Unable to see Austin's face, she could feel his intense presence. If there was one thing they were perfectly matched in, it was sex. They derived intense pleasure from it.
"Austin, I want a child." Nora felt a sense of relief after saying this. At least, when she was not around, there would be a child to accompany Austin.
"You said you didn't want children. Why suddenly change your mind?" Austin said coldly.
Nora turned her head, and what caught her eye was a sharply defined handsome face. The man's profound eyes pierced through the dim light and met hers.
"I like children. Give me one," she said.
Austin immediately lost interest, pulled himself out of her body, wiped himself with a tissue. He didn't have much emotion towards her.
"I married you at your father's suggestion, but I never thought of letting you have my child," he said coldly. "Don't say this again. Just be Mrs. Hayes peacefully and don't make me lose interest in you."
Nora lowered her gaze, as if a crack had opened in her heart. She knew Austin didn't love her, but she had loved him for thirteen years. How was she supposed to conclude this love?
"Is it because of her?" she asked.
Austin paused, his eyes icy.
"Aria," Nora added.
She is a wealthy and wealthy woman renowned in New York, and he is a financial tycoon in Washington. Their marriage is a family alliance without any emotional connection. In order to cultivate this love, she hid her identity and entered her husband's company, but unexpectedly, the first thing she did at work was the sexual hidden rules of her immediate supervisor.
'Sir, this card is rejected either!" Vanessa's eyes crossed with a trace of pity. Such a beautiful man was a penniless vagrant. But, luckily, he met her. Vanessa was worried about how to spend the 100,000 dollars, or her brother would nag her again. So she handed the card over directly, 'Use this."

He raised an eyebrow, and for the first time in his life, he had the illusion of being a kept man.

The most helpless thing in Aria's life was that Grayson had always been ignoring her during the six years of their marriage. And Grayson's greatest chagrin in his life was that Aria had finally become disillusioned with him after he had been her husband for six years. "Grayson, let's end it..." "Aria, do you know that? I regretted that I didn't screw you to death in bed!" Six years of marriage finally ended up with divorce. Grayson was the president of the famous Harris Group in Z City and a golden bachelor that countless women dreamed of. He fell in love with her after only taking a look at her, who was as pretty as a picture in a white dress. However, a marriage of interest exhausted all his love for her. He gave her tit for tat at every turn to watch her suffer. Aria could not remember when she had fallen in love with Grayson. She vaguely remembered the teenager had smiled faintly under the sunlight on the street one afternoon, like a warm spring breeze blowing into her heart. Three years after the divorce, they met again, but in an awkward way. He had Zoe with a bright smile in his arms. While she nestled against Lucas's shoulder with a light smile. For the first time, he was just about to provoke her when she pre-empted him, "It's been a long time. This is my fiancé, Lucas. Our wedding is on the 12th of next month." Wedding? At these words, he thought in his heart that there was no way she could get married!
The woman was lying on the bed. The soft moonlight from the window was shining on her pale face. What a sexy scene! Christopher Loomis looked at the numb woman who was pressed down by him. He said with a mocking smile, "Isn't this what you want?" Leslie Ward's face looked much paler than before. Her chin was suddenly pinched tightly by the man before she could say anything. This pain made her cry out. "Have you forgotten what day it is today?" Christopher said with mockery. At the same time, the pressure on his hand got stronger again. Her pupils contracted instantly while something was striking on her mind. Then her whole body kept trembling. "Even the day of remembrance of your sister can be forgotten, you are really a ruthless woman, ah."Christopher said while his body was still moving through her body. It would be nice if Evelyn had not been killed by this woman. Leslie was accustomed to hearing Christopher's taunts, but her heart still can't help but throb. She had been married with Christopher for three years. But she loved him for more than three years. Why Christopher overlooked her, only sneered at her these years? He only loved Evelyn. Even giving her love with both hands initiatively, she would not get any concern from him. Christopher’s voice rang in her ears again, "You went to great lengths to be married with me, even put your own sister's life on the line. Now everything is as you wish, what are you not satisfied with?" She closed her mouth tightly without any word. She was afraid that if she opened her mouth, she would no longer be able to hold back her emotions that were about to erupt. But her silence at this time seemed to be a provocation to Christopher. His movement became more violent and faster. Leslie finally cannot help but groan painfully. Half an hour later, Christopher pulled out from her body and went into the bathroom. Leslie endured the pain in her body and wrapped herself up tightly with the quilt. Christopher came out of the bathroom and saw the way she was. His heart was ignited with anger again. He said, "Leslie, don't you just want me to fuck you? Now your reaction is for what? The bitch still wants to declare herself a virgin?" Leslie gritted her teeth. In the past, Christopher made love with her with saying nothing. Just to satisfy physical needs, and the woman can be her or someone else. He ridiculed her like this. Only on the day of Evelyn's remembrance every year, he hated her even more. "I'm sorry." Christopher frowned unconsciously when he heard her tiny voice. He walked towards Leslie and lifted her quilt. Leslie looked flustered and curled herself up into a ball. But Christopher was not ready to let her off the hook, "You make me feel sick now." Tears could not be controlled in her eyes. Christopher did not see her abnormality because of her messy hair. In his memory, Leslie never cried. "Christopher Loomis, what do you want me to do?" Her voice was a little hoarse, but it did a good job in hiding her trembling voice. Christopher looked at the wretched her from a high position, "Clean the picture frame." That was Evelyn's photo, which Christopher regarded as a treasure. She got up slowly and moved her feet step by step towards the photo. She found a stain on the glass of the frame. It may be rubbed on accidentally. Did Christopher’s anger just for this? She looked upward subconsciously, but hit Christopher’s obscure eyes. "On the first day you lived in this house, I said that you needed to do nothing but wiping the picture every day. It must be stainless." Leslie's hands with the frame shocked and almost dropped the frame. Christopher's heart was filled with anger suddenly. There was a tinge of shade in his voice, "If the frame in your hands is broken, then you will take your life to pay for it!" "My life in your mind is not as important as a picture frame?" Leslie asked with a shudder. It seemed like her heart was torn into pieces, painful even unable to breathe. "Leslie, you are worthless in my mind." The unforgiving words made Leslie collapse completely. Tears kept flowing down from her face. She turned up her voice suddenly, looking straight at Christopher and said "For these years, you put all your heart in this photo, not willing to share your heart even a little bit with me?" This was the first time he saw Leslie's tears. He was astonished just for a second. He took two steps forward to look at Leslie with his brooding eyes. Then he still said mercilessly, "Leslie, I did not love you before, and would not love you in the future."
