She believed him for the first time and fell into the pit of marriage, trapped for six years.
The second
time I trusted him; I almost lost my child.
Three strikes and you’re out.
She would not give him a third chance to hurt herself
Zackary was empty–handed and momentarily lost in thought
They never argued, not even had a proper conversation.
Arabella, who left no gaps, didn’t know how to break through.
He always walked ahead on his own, while the chased after his back.
“Anabelle, I know you were angry, and of course, you had every reason to be angry, but at least you should consider Dalsy.”
adudes couldn’t persuade, they would bring in the children.
Daty was still so young and needed her father’s company.”
Much pomp and circumstance.
Be considerate of others” feelings
Arabella burst into laughter in anger and said, “Now you realize the need for father’s company?”
Chapter 12
“Where were you when Daisy was sick? Where were you when her school had a party?”
The school party invited parents to attend.
Arabella did not meet Rosa’s parents; she only saw a hurried departure of someone who looked very much like Zackary.
At that time, she thought she had made a mistake, but it turned out that it was wrong from the beginning.
“Where were you when she was crying and calling out for you, Daddy?”
“Daisy was not your child.”
“Daisy was just the child of your housekeeper.
A few years ago, that sentence, like a brand, was deeply imprinted on her chest, constantly reminding her.
Zackary was cruel and heartless.
Faced with her tearful accusations, Zackary found himself unable to utter a single word of rebuttal.
Every word and sentence that came out of her mouth was a test of his conscience.
“Arabella, I knew I was wrong.
“People make mistakes sometimes, give me a chance.”
Arabella chuckled,
“One chance? Daisy gave you three chances, did it work?”
The child had just finished speaking, and his eyes lit up as he looked towards the entrance, happily waving his hand. “Dad! Mom!” “Office, birthday party, and final farewell”
“Don’t say you didn’t notice, you are more aware than anyone else, you know.”
Knowing but pretending not to know.
There are only two reasons.
One, I didn’t care about her; two, I didn’t care about this relationship.
He didn’t care, so why should she humiliate herself?
Anbella turned her head and communicated with the front desk, and the large screen missing person’s notice was taken down.
Just as Ryan came in holding Daisy.
Oh no, she was so anxious that she forgot to bring the child along.
Side Story: Vivian knew early on that Steve liked her.
“Who was be?
Zackary’s questioning followed closely.
Chapter 13
Two big men confronted each other in the hotel lobby.
There was silence in the afr
Ryan took the lead and introduced himself, “I am a friend of Arabella.”
Holding Daisy tightly in his hands, he declared his sovereignty
She spoke b
before Ryan could say anything, “We are about to leave, thank you for your landness.”
“It should have been my ex–husband.”
Ryan corrected with a smile
The atmosphere was tense
Daisy didn’t look at Zackary the whole time and held onto R
Ryan’s neck tightly, saying “Uncle, let’s go ba
back to our room
He turned his head again and casually nodded toward Zackary, saying, “Goodbye, Mr. Jefferson.”
The three words “Mr. Jefferson” deeply pierced him.
Arabella turned around and took a step, but her hand was grabbed.
Mr. Jefferson, is there
is there anything else?
One big, one small, on the left Mr. Jefferson, on the right Mr. Jefferson.
He seemed like a fleeting passerby in their world.
Optional
Zackary tightened his grip and showed a hint of hurt, “Do we have to be so distant?”
Arabella’s eyes were indifferent as she said, “Isn’t this what you wanted?”
“You were called Mr. Jefferson, only to have a three–minute phone call with you every week”
“Now we don’t bother you, you should be happy.”
“Chasing after me, it’s just your unwillingness at play. Go back, sign the letter, it’s good for both of us.”
“I couldn’t continue our marriage anymore.”
Maybe it was said to oneself, maybe it broke one’s thoughts
Arabella cut off all her retreats in one breath
She pulled her hand out without any hesitation, glanced at her redden wrist, and smirked bitterly, “See, you don’t even care if I’m comfortable” Zackary watched helplessly as her figure disappeared behind the elevator doors.
