Fifteen years after marrying Fang Suian, I discovered that his first love had become our son's teacher. He secretly cherished sweet moments with her and took her on trips. Our son also helped him keep it from me. When they had a car accident, they left me in the car to die for the sake of his first love. I was utterly heartbroken and decided to file for divorce. Fang Suian sarcastically told me, "After being a housewife for so many years, you won't even have money to buy groceries after the divorce." Our son looked down on me, saying, "Mom, you're just a yellow-faced woman; why are you causing such a fuss?" After the divorce, I started my own business and became wealthy, and they begged me to come back. I mocked them, saying, "You want me to return as your free nanny? You must be dreaming."

Chapter 1

"Are you sure you want to proceed with the divorce?" the lawyer asked me once more for confirmation.

"I have to remind you that even though your marriage took place before the latest legal reforms, the division of assets would still likely put you at a disadvantage if you proceed with the divorce."

The lawyer went over a detailed breakdown of our shared assets and liabilities.

I was well aware of this.

My husband, Gary Lopez, was now a senior executive earning no less than half a million dollars a year.

As for me, I'd been a stay-at-home wife for over ten years. If I went through with the divorce, I could walk away with nothing.

Perhaps because of that, Gary had grown more dismissive of me, even belittling me in front of others as if I was not good enough to be seen with him.

A fellow parent from our neighborhood called me out of the blue this morning, asking why I hadn't shown up for my son's parent-teacher conference. Thinking I had simply forgotten, I rushed to the school, only to realize that my son hadn't wanted me to come in the first place.

To my dismay, his homeroom teacher turned out to be Gary's first love- Zoey Chapman.

The moment he saw me, his smile disappeared.

"What are you doing here?" he snapped, pushing me toward the door.

"I... I came for the parent-teacher conference," I mumbled.

My son frowned, "Dad will be here. You should go back."

I tried to explain, feeling helpless, "I was always the one who came to these meetings... Your dad was always busy with work..."

He interrupted impatiently, "That was then. Now Dad's a big shot. He doesn't need to worry about what people think- even if he skips work. Just leave, okay?"

I stumbled back, and my son went on complaining, "It's humiliating having people see you like this- like some washed-up old housewife."

"Harley, who is she?" Zoey asked, stepping out of the classroom.

Harley took her arm and whispered in her ear, "That's my mom. I already told her to head home."

"That's not how you treat your mother- she cares about you," Zoey said, giving him a playful flick on the forehead.

Harley usually hated anyone touching his head- even an accidental brush could set him off.

But today, he held onto Zoey's arm, grinning and putting on an act of childish affection.

"He's just a kid. Don't take it personally," Zoey said with a smile, standing up for him- as if she had forgotten I was the one who gave birth to him.

"Sorry I'm late," Gary said as he came over quickly. He paused when he saw me. "What are you doing here?"

"I came for the parent-teacher meeting."

"I told you not to worry about school. Just focus on things at home," Gary said, pulling me aside. Then, turning to Zoey with a polite smile, he added, "Sorry if she caused any trouble."

"You should head back," Gary said, shoving his briefcase into my hands.

"Let's go inside, Ms. Chapman," Harley said, tugging at Zoey's arm as they headed into the classroom.

Gary gave me a glance, said nothing, and walked into the classroom behind them.

I stood outside, watching Harley eagerly interact with Zoey. As Gary shut the door, I suddenly felt like an outsider.

"I'll move forward with your request to file with the court. If everything goes smoothly, the divorce could be finalized in about two weeks," the lawyer said, snapping me out of my thoughts.

Two weeks, that should be enough.
