“Take a good rest these three days, don’t get too excited emotionally, girl, take care of your body.“”
I listened to the well–intentioned advice, and my heart ached for a moment. When the elevator door opened, I walked in with my head down.
The surprised exclamation “Veronica” brought me back to my thoughts.
Bronson pulled me into the corner.
“Why did you come to the hospital?”
He spoke with a questioning tone, even doubting if I had been following him.
I took out the list, and the coldness in Bronson’s eyes dissipated a little.
He reached out and touched my belly, with a smile on his lips.
“You were so naughty, always causing trouble for your mother. Just wait until you come out, I’ll show you how I’ll deal with you.”
My eyes suddenly became warm.
With a tone that slightly resembled my father’s, it made me instinctively believe that he also anticipated this child.
I opened my eyes wide and silently took two steps back.
Brunson’s hand froze in mid–air, and his eyes darkened.
I whispered. “The doctor said that it was caused by the pregnant woman’s excessive emotions, and now her stomach still hurts with intermittent contractions.”
Listening to my explanation, Bronson’s face finally relaxed.
He took my hand and brought me to a high–end restaurant.
“Baby, you worked hard I during the pregnancy. It’s my fault that I’ve been too busy lately and didn’t have time to accompany you.”
“Did I supply you well today?”
Chapter 3
Bronson did not explain why he appeared at the hospital.
I didn’t ask either.
It seems like we really just happened to meet each other, and then we had a meal at the restaurant.
From beginning to end, he remained calm and showed no sign of gullt.
I was cutting the steak, but my hand just couldn’t exert any force.
When I looked up, I found myself staring into Bronson’s deep eyes.
In those eyes, it seemed as if there was hidden eternal ice.
The next second, the ice melted and brought a smile. “I’ll help you
“Are you still feeling uncomfortable? Do you want to go to the hospital for another check–up?
The knife scraped against the plate, making a sharp sound.
I shook my head and Bronson placed the plate in front of me..
“Okay, try it. I remember you loved the steak from this place when you were in college.”
1 put a piece into my mouth, but I could no longer taste the flavor I used to have before. In fact, there was a hint of bitterness added.
Bronson’s phone suddenly lit up, and he picked it up to take a glance. His eyes softened in an instant.
But the next second, he put down his phone and switched it to silent mode.
“Why didn’t you answer?”
Bronson raised an eyebrow and said softly, I’ll accompany you until we finish eating, the rest doesn’t matter. ”
I tightened my hand holding the knife, how could that phone call be unimportant? It was his wife’s phone call, the mother of his child.
I ate absentmindedly, but Bronson was very interested, 1 clearly felt that his mood was good.
Was it because he was enjoying the process of getting back at me? Enjoying the process of deceiving me.
I tilted my head back and drank a glass of water, suppressing the bitterness in my heart.
“I won’t eat anymore, please take me back.”
When he got home, Bronson didn’t even enter the house before leaving. He said there was something urgent at work, but I knew he went to the hospital.
When I passed by the ward just now, I saw Nathalle’s name on the screen on the wall.
She was hospitalized
I touched my belly, and in three days, this life would turn into a pool of blood.
I packed my luggage, intending to clarify things with Bronson when he came back
Whether you hate me or seek revenge, at least let this relationship end clearly and unequivocally.
But these three days, Bronson did not come back,
When I called, he also issed the excuse of being on a business trip to evade me.
I didn’t notice Bronson leaning over Nathalie’s stomach until I passed by her ward
At that moment, I realized that nothing mattered anymore. There was no need to expose his lies, nor was there any need to ask for a reason.
Just leave quietly.
The day I had the surgery, Nathalie was also wheeled into the operating room.
I saw Bronson pacing back and forth at the end of the corridor, his face filled with anxiety with every step.
He clasped his hands together and prayed for the child’s safety.
But even today, his another child was gone.
Even, he knew nothing
I lowered my gaze and left a letter on Nathalie’s sickbed.
Afterwards, I carried the suitcase and went to the airport.
I thought, this time, it was truly our farewell with Bronson.
I sat in the waiting room, my stomach still hurting.
As the ringing phone sounded, I weakly answered it.
Just as the call connected, Bronson’s gloomy voice came through.
Veronica, you told me, what does ‘goodbye for good‘ mean?”
“Did you want to walk away again?
I remembered that at the end of the letter, I left this sentence.
I remember the day of my college graduation, when everyone was preparing to embrace a new future,
Bronson was also preparing to welcome us in the future.
That day he was very excited, and his voice trembled as he spoke.
He said, “Veronica, we would have a house, we would have a cat, and we would have two children.”
He was speaking incoherently, and as I kept watching, I started laughing, and as I continued laughing, I ended up crying.
i didn’t want to burst that bubble, not at all.
50, I spent the whole day with him, fantasizing
That day, he drank a lot, got very drunk, and while he was sleeping, he was still muttering about our future.
The next day when he woke up, he couldn’t find me no matter how hard he tried, and only found the brown envelope at the bedside.
In that letter, it seems like I also wrote a sentence, “I will never see you again in this lifetime.” But who knew, three years later, we met again.
Even then, they were together again.
I opened my mouth and felt a momentary tightness in my
Bronson’s heavy breathing came in bursts, one after another. I knew, he was getting impatient.
But I didn’t know that he was still angry and hadn’t yet enjoyed the true satisfaction of getting back at me.
I was still angry when I discovered his conspiracy beforehand
Perhaps, both are possible.
“Bronson,” I said softly, my voice choked with emotion.
Actually, when I saw that marriage certificate, it really hurt, hurt so much that I could hardly breathe.
“Later, I found out that Nathalie was pregnant, and I became even more caring.”
“Congrandations, your revenge was successful. Now, can you let me go?”
After a moment, Bronson sneered, “So you’ve already figured it out, huh? How boring. I w
“Veronica, you have also been married, so you shouldn’t mind, right?”
“What kind of mood are you in now?”
planning to tell you after you gave birth to our child”
Chapter 4
A chill swept over me, causing my teeth to charter from the cold.
Originally, Bronson no longer cared about my pain
I hung up the phone and deleted all of Bronson’s contact information.
The moment I boarded the plane, I felt as if I had returned to that day.
The only difference was that this time I left in a sorry state, covered in bruises.
After leaving the airport, I saw a figure in the crowd waving a sign excitedly.
I forced a smile and walked towards him.
After seeing me, my younger brother Maxwell Mercado gave me a big bear
“Veronica, you finally came back, I missed you so much.”
I frowned in pain and busily patted his shoulder.
“Take it easy

easy, I just had surgery,”
,“Maxwell exclaimed, widening his mouth in shock. “What surgery? What happened to you, Veronica? It’s not serious, is
1 shook my head, “Not serious,”
Maxwell had a lot to say, chattering incessantly all the way.
Veronica, did that Bronson not come back with you?“!
Two years ago, when I reunited with Bronson, I was so excited that I immediately opened a video call with Maxwell and told him everything
Maxwell was clearly very tired, but he still forced himself to listen to me until I finished.
“Veronica, if you still loved each other, then be together. You have already missed each other once; you cannot miss each other again.”
I was so excited that I nodded repeatedly, even thinking of several possible outcomes.
What should I do if Bronson doesn’t love me anymore? If he is single, then I will pursue him.
If he had a girlfriend, then I would withdraw.
Before I could take the initiative, Bronson took the lead and sent me a signal of reconciliation.
He spoke with deep sincerity, his eyes filled with tenderness and affection.
I panicked, my heart moved, and I couldn’t even be bothered to argue about the authenticity, so we just got back together like that,
We were together for two years, but it was a colossal lie.
”
The car slowly came to a stop, and I suddenly came to my senses, loolding at the familiar buildings outside the window, feeling a tightness in my chest.
Tunbuckled my seatbelt, but Maxwell remained motionless.
He stretched out his hand and pointed at my eyes.
“Veronica, you cried again.”
I subconsciously touched the corner of my eye, and Maxwell suddenly hugged me
“Veronica, were you mistreated? Did that Bronson bully you?”
He was full of heartache, with a hint of anger in his words.
I patted his shoulder and said, “No, got out of the car, Moms must be worried.”
It had been two years since I last returned to this home, and upon stepping in again, the spirit I had two years ago was long gone.
My mother looked at my pale face, full of pity.
Having been away for two years, how did I end up like this? Veronica, you have suffered.” I shook my head, trying to force a smile to comfort my mother, but that smile was even uglier than crying
Outside, I was an adult.
At home, I was still my mom’s child.
I held onto my mom, seeking protection and comfort just like when I was a child.
My mother gently traced along my back, again and again. She didn’t press for answers, and I didn’t speak up to explain my two years of absence from
home.
My family, un
until now, believed that I had only undergone a minor surgery.
After resting at home for half a month, my body gradually recovered as before.
Just that piece in my heart has always been melancholic.
Maxwell was afraid that I had depression, so he forcefully dragged me out of the house.
“Veronica, you couldn’t stay at home all day, you would really get sick”
“Now I was the pillar of the family, if you really had any discomfort, you tell me, I would definitely stand by your side.”
Maxwell has always been sensitive, and although I didn’t explicitly say it, he also guessed about seventy to eighty percent.
I tugged at the comer of my lips as he styled his hair and applied a delicate makeup.
Bright eyes and red lips, there was not a trace of decadence,
Maxwell took me to an auction.
He pinched my hand and smiled, saying. “Veronica, whatever you like, just take a picture, and little brother will buy it for you.”
I forced out a smile and said, “Okay, I won’t be polite with you.”
The auction items were dazzling, and I set my eyes on a ring, which was said to have been passed down by a princess from a certain country.
I couldn’t wait to put it in my pocket.
I managed to raise the value of the item from twenty million to eighty million.
1 excitedly pinched my fingertips, and the next second, a deep voice suddenly sounded.
“One billion”

Chapter 5
The crowd was in an uproar.
The expression on my face froze, and my mind went blank.
That voice, I was extremely familiar with it,
I thought I would never see you in this lifetime, but I didn’t expect to meet you so soon.
My heart skipped a heat, feeling that intense p

Maxwell turned around and glanced back, saying unkindly, “Veronica, you continue, don’t mind him.”

Seeing that I didn’t move, Maxwell raised the sign.
I reached out and tagged at his sleeve.
“Never mind, let’s go.
I pulled Maxwell up and pretended to calmly walk past Bronson
As he passed by, a big hand suddenly grabbed my wrist, and I jerlord away as if being haunted by a ghost.
Because of this sudden swing. I almost lost my balance, but luckily Maxwell promptly supported me.
“Bronson, that ring looks really nice. Can you help me put it on later?
The sweet voice was like a thom, making me scratch my ears and cheeks.
Bronson paused for a moment, then whispered, “Okay.”
I stopped for a moment, and then hurriedly left the auction house.
1took deep breaths of fresh air, trying to suppress
ess the surge in my chest,
Maxwell’s face turned serious, and his voice lowered slightly.
“Veronica, is that Bronson?”
I slowed down my movements and nodded slowly under Maxwell’s questioning gaze.
He gasped twice and gritted his teeth, saying, “Damn it, unfaithful man, I’m going to teach him a lesson.”
Maxwell was furious, his posture was so aggressive that he seemed to want to bear Bronson’s
I grabbed him in a hurry and said, “Don’t cause trouble, I have nothing to do with him anymore.”
Since it’s over, it doesn’t concem me anymore what happens to Bronson.
The tie should be cut, and it should be cut clean. As Maxwell and I were pulling, a mocking voice suddenly sounded.
“Veronica, you were amazing. You left five years ago because of another man.”
“I left now, but it was because of another man.
“Are you so desperate and lowly?”
He almost gritted his teeth as he said the last few words.
My heart ached for a moment, and 1 lowered my gaze, suppressing the bitterness in my eyes.
“Bronson, you had no right to accuse me.”
Bronson sneered, “No qualifications? Don’t forget, you’re carrying my child, carrying my seed, and you say I have no qualifications?”
He spoke with sarcasm in every sentence, and his eyes were filled with mockery and derision.
In the past two years of reunion, I thought Bronson hadn’t changed, but now I realize that he had already changed.
He became no longer gentle, filled with hatred inside.
No, he was still gentle, but that touch of tenderness was no longer given to me..
My heart gradually calmed down.
Chapter 5
Without waiting for me to speak, Maxwell seemed to understand something.
He looked at me incredulously, “Pregnant? The surgery you mentioned, was actually..
I nodded in his disbelief.
if he had gone mad.
Maxwell suddenly threw a punch at Bronson as if he
“You bastard, I fucking killed you.”
Punch after punch, almost every punch hit the flesh.
Bronson quickly reacted after receiving a few blows and engaged in a scuffle with his opponent.
“You adulterer, how come you lost your temper before me?”
*Veronica, your eyesight worsened.”
I hurriedly went to pull Maxwell, “Stop fighting, Maswell.”
Just as I touched him, he accidentally swung and knocked me down to the ground.
A surge of pain shot up from my tailbone, causing me to inhale sharply and emit a soft hiss.
In a glance, I saw Nathalie helplessly hiding in the corner, her belly arched, and her hands carefully protecting it.
She had the ring from the auction on her right hand middle finger.
I closed my eyes, and the volume increased a bit.
“Maxwell, I told you to stop
He paused for a moment, looking at me in disbelief.

I propped myself up and pulled him over, looking at the bruise on the corner of
“Let’s go, I have no connection with him anymore: Don’t hurt yourself for someone who is not worth it.”

Chapter 6
I didn’t look at Bronson, but 1 also knew that his injuries were no better than Maxwell’s.
After all, Maxwell had been practicing boxing since he was young, while Bronson only knew some basic moves.
Bronson spat out a mouthful of blood, with a disdainful snort.
He glanced at me indifferently and said, “Veronica, let’s go, shall we talk about what’s on your mind?”
“Or, is he willing to be a stepfather to the child?”
“You….”
Mavell was eager to approach again, but I quickly grabbed him and coldly met Bronson’s gaze.
“Bronson, I forgot to tell you, I have berminated the pregnancy. There will be no more ties between us.”
Bronson was momentarily stunned, then looked incredulously at my flattened stomach.
After confirming that I had indeed miscarried the child, his eyes instantly darkened, filled with a chilling gaze.
He called out my name with great anger.
“Veronica, have you gone crazy? Who allowed you to abort it?”
I watched him get angry for no reason, feeling puzzled in my heart.
Suddenly, I remembered that he had always wanted to retaliate against me, and the child was
was just a part of his revenge.
Little did he know that I had already discovered the truth before he uncovered it.
I sarcastically tugged at the corner of my lips and said, “Bronson, actually your revenge has been quite successful, really,”
“You have no idea how devastated I was when I saw you praying for your other child outside the operating room on the day I had a miscarriage.”
“But I am also grateful, at least things haven’t reached the point of no return yet, at least he doesn’t have to be bom facing the identity of an illegitimate child”
“But Bronson, you really disgust me, not even sparing our own child. How much do you hate me?”
Five years ago, my family’s company faced financial problems. In order to force me into a marriage alliance, my father didn’t hesitate to use Bronson’s future to threaten me.
Back then, Branson was arrogant and proud. If he had losown the truth, who knows how he would have reacted.
walked away.
So, I left a letter and just w
I thought we were never meant to be in this lifetime, but unexpectedly, we met again three years later. I didn’t hide the fact that I had been married, and surprisingly, he didn’t seem to mind.
Linie did I know, his indifference was all a facade. In reality, he hated me for leaving him, he hated me for betraying him.
Bronson stood there like a statue, his lips moving
“Veronica, you shouldn’t have aborted him.”
His voice was full of loneliness as he walked towards me.
Just as she took two steps, Nathalie suddenly clutched her stomach and let out a cry of pain.
“Bronson, my stomach hurts. Did something happen to the baby again?”
Bronson’s face flashed with panic as he scooped up Nathalle around her waist, his back filled with chaus
Maxwell couldn’t help but curse under his breath all the way.
1smiled indifferently.
“I wasn’t even angry, and you’re still angry.”
“Could it be the same? Veronica, if you had told me earlier, I would have definitely beaten him to the point where he couldn’t g
“But it’s also my fault. If I were older, back then, you wouldn’t have been forced by Dad to marry Robert.”

I looked out of the window; Maxwell’s voice lowered a bit
Back then, the company was facing great difficulties, and forming an alliance with the Myers family was the best choice.
Later, the company died, and Robert Myers finally gained control of the Myers family. It was only then that our marriage, which had long been dead in
name only, came to an end.
“By the way, Veronica, there is a dinner tomorrow. You should come along too. Don’t stay at home all day. Dad is already gone, and if you continue like
this, Mom will be sad.”
I nodded and accepted the dinner invitation.
It has been two years since I last attended such a banquet, and now, stepping into such a place again, I find myself unable to be as confident as I used to
I played the role of a vase by Maxwell’s side, watching him effortlessly shuttle through various occasions.
He smiled a little comfortingly.
Maxwell was six years younger than me. When the company faced a crisis, he was still underage
After knowing that I was going to get married, he hid in the room and cried all night, no matter who tried to persuade him.
On the day I got married, he held my hand and solemnly said, “Veronica, when I grow up, it will be cny turn to protect you
Now he can stand on his own, and the effort he put into it is unimaginable.
I was a little bored, so I made an excuse
se to go to the backyard for some fresh air.
But little did I know, I would meet Bronson here.
The black suit highlighted his broad shoulders and narrow waist, making him much more charming than when he was in college.
I glanced at him lightly, stood up and tried to leave, but he grabbed my wrist
“Veronica, let’s talk”
I looked at his hand, and the scorching temperature came over.
“We seem to have nothing to talk about, Mr. Crane. Don’t forget that you are a married man, let go.”
Chapter 7
Bronson’s face changed, and his thin lips parted slightly. “Nathalie’s child was not mine.”
The backyard was so quiet that I could hear every word he said.
But, so what?
I smiled and said, “Bronson, your explanation was so pale that I find it hard to believe.”
His eyelashes trembled lightly, and he no longer had the mockery and calculation of the past.
Instead, there was a touch of bitterness added.
“Veronica, you said you were sad, but have you ever thought about how sad i was when you left?”
“You left without saying a word, leaving behind a breakup letter. Do you know how long I searched for you?
there, I saw you wearing a wedding
“I went crazy searching everywhere I could, I asked the counselor for your home address, and you know when I went th dress getting into a wedding car. How heartbroken I was.”
“It’s not only you who felt sad, and it’s not only you who had a broken heart.”
Bronson and 1, like two intersecting lines, went from being strangers to knowing and loving each other, and then gradually drifting apart.
Now, we can’t turn back.
“Bronson, you have already sought revenge, and we have lost our child. Let the past be in the past. Go back and live a good life with her. Let’s not see each other again.”
H
This relationship, no one can be blamed, only fate can be blamed for playing tricks on people.
Suddenly, a wall of flesh came up behind me, and Branson tightly wrapped his arms around my waist, whispering softly in my ear
ht I could forget the past, stop bothering you, but I persisted for half a month, Veronica, and I realized I couldn’t do it, I can’t forget you.”
“Nathalie’s child is not mine, I can also handle the marriage certificate, I am not angry anymore, I will immediately proceed with the divorce with her, and then, we can live well, okay?”
His pleas came at me, word by word, sentence by sentence, but I no longer felt the same excitement I had two years ago.
I tried to pry open his hand, but I couldn’t move it at all.
I sighed and said helplessly, “Bronson, let go.”
“No, no.
His tone revealed panic.
I closed my eyes, and suddenly, a person walked towards me.
“Ms. Mercado?”
Robert stood with his hands in his pockets, a mischievous twinkle in his eyes beneath the golden wire frames of his glasses.
I took advantage of Bronson’s relaxation and quickly slipped out of his arms, running towards Robert
Perhaps due to three years of collaboration, Robert instinctively protected me.
Bronson looked displeased.
“Veronica, who was he?”
Robert chuckled and said, “Me, Ms. Mercado’s ex–husband, Robert.”
Bronson’s face turned even uglier, gritting his teeth be spat out the words “ex–husband“. He reached out his hand towards me and said, here.!!
ald, “Veronica, come
hook my head, “Bronson, the words have been said very clearly. It doesn’t matter if the child in Nathalie’s belly is yours or if you only married her out of spire. None of these matters anymore. There is no need for us to continue.”
Bronson opened his mouth and wanted to say something.
Robert, however, was the first to block the way back.
Chapter 7
“Mr. Crane, I believe Veronica has made herself quite clear. If you continue to pester, it won’t end well. Goodbye.”
I followed Robert to the lounge, and not only us,
us, Maxwell was also there, along with an unfamiliar woman.
The woman had an elegant appearance, and her gentle and generous nature was further highlighted by her white long dress.
She raised her hand and said, “Ms. Mercado.”
I paused for a moment.
Robert took her hand and gently rubbed it, and said with a faint smile, “Let me introduce my girlfriend, Olivia Gibbs.”
I suddenly realized.
Robert had a crush on Olivia, whom he referred to as his moonlight, when we got married. He had mentioned that we were just cooperating and there would be no substantial relationship.
Once he came into power, the Myers family, we got divorced, of course, he would not cut off his assistance to the Mercado family.
And all that he did, was just to be able to be with Olivia openly and honestly
Tasked Olivia, “Didn’t you doubt him or get angry with him? After all, he had been married.”
Olivia smiled and said, “I was angry. He didn’t tell me anything and faced it alone. Do you think I was angry?
But I am not angry anymore now, I know that everything he did was for me, your marriage was just a business relationship.”
“Besides, he knelt in front of my door for three days. If I were still angry, it would be like holding a grudge against myself.”
I smiled knowingly, admiring her rationality and generosity.
Maxwell grinned and said, “Robert is still useful. He successfully brought Veronica back. If it were me, I wouldn’t have stopped without a fight.”
Originally, it was Maxwell who sent Robert to the backyard.
The dinner party had not yet ended, but I didn’t want to stay any longer. Maxwell frowned and said, “Veronica, I have another dinner engagement. Shall I have someone take you home first?”
“No need, I’ll just take a taxi. You go ahead and do your own thing.”
I opened the door of the lounge and almost ran into a wall of flesh,
Bronson stood straight in front of the door, like a statue.
His facial expression was somewhat strange, and I couldn’t understand it for a moment.
I said Lightly, “Move aside, you’re blocking my way.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
A low voice sounded above the head.
I paused for a moment, and a few seconds later, I realized the meaning behind his words.
I didn’t tell him at first because I was afraid he would make a scene.
Later on, I didn’t tell him because he didn’t care that I had been married before, so I felt there was no need to explain
I took a deep breath and stopped Maxwell, who was about to get angry.
“Maxwell, don’t you still have a dinner appointment? You go ahead, I’ll handle it myself.”

Matters of the heart are the most unpredictable.

“Sorry, I no longer loved you.”

Chapter 8
If I had not discovered that marriage certificate, I would have given birth to that child in anticipation.
At that time, Bronson might have looked down on me and delivered a fatal blow
I would become the mistress that everyone shouted at
id become a despised illegitimate child.
My child would
If that time came, I would have no ability to fight back
Bronson also never showed mercy.
That was so scary, I’m glad I found out in time.
Bronson’s eyes were bloodshot, shaking his head, his face full of pain.
“Veronica, give me one more chance, I would handle everything well, I won’t interfere with others anymore.”
“We started over, I would marry you, and we would get married…”
Bronson exclaimed excitedly when suddenly, there came a noise from outside the door.
“It was right here, Ms. Mercado was inside, and so was my husband.”
The door was pushed open with a bang, and then many people holding cameras squeezed in
Flashlights came down like raindrops, one by one.
“Ms. Mercado, someone said that you know three when three, can you explain it?”
“Ms. Mercado, I heard that you had a miscarriage. Is the child Mr. Crane’s?”
“Ms. Mercado.”
The echoing sound of Ms. Mercado, the flickering lights, made me dizzy.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Nathalie’s mouth curl into a malicious smile, tears shimmering in her eyes.
Bronson and I had a marriage certificate, and I had already been pregnant for three months.
“Veronica’s the mistress.
“Who said she’s the mistress? Put down your cameras, can you take responsibility if something happens?
Bronson’s tone was icy as he tightly shielded me behind him.
I had a sudden stomachache, only half a month had passed, and that sharp pain would occasionally flare up.
I stepped out from behind him and looked around coldly. The journalist’s face at that moment was like a gaping mouth, eager to devour me
Bronson nervously grabbed my hand and said, “Veronica, don’t be afraid, I will handle it, you stay behind me.”
“Bronson, I’m your wife. How could you protect this woman?”
“You forgot, we had already obtained the marriage certificate.”
Isarcastically curled my lips and looked at the coldness and impatience in Bronson’s eyes.
They got married, and that is a fact that cannot be changed.
“Ms. Mercado, does your silence imply consent? Are you really the mistress?”
“What about your child? Why didn’t you give birth to him?”
“Would you have had an illegitimate child?”
I coldly retorted to the journalist.
ignored Bronson’s expression at the moment and coldly said, “Bronson and I established a relationship two years ago. It was during my pregnancy that he got married to another woman, so I can only be considered as the other woman.”
Chapter 8
“As for her,” I pointed to Nathalie, and said word by word, “she should be considered as the mistress who took over, after all, she has always been aware of my relationship with Bronson.”
Suddenly, all the sharp questions shifted towards Nathalle and Bronson.
I looked at Nathalie’s scream and Bronson’s panic expressionlessly, and calmly walked out of the chaos.
Not long after, the scandal about my affair became a trending tople
As soon as Maxwell found out, he immediately contacted the company’s public relations department and busily dealt with the trending topic.
Then, Nathalie fainted on the spot, and Bronson hurriedly carried her to the hospital, causing a hot topic on social media.
Compared to their franticness, I appeared much calmer.
Until the late night, I received a phone call from Bronson, his voice sounding somewhat weary
“I have already dealt with the trending topic, Veronica. I will give you an explanation about this matter. Just wait for m
“Okay, I hope you didn’t make me wait too long.”
I wasn’t exactly so kind, so I wanted a tit–for–tat
- me.
When Maxwell investigated Natalie’s relationship with Bronson and posted it online, I didn’t stop him. In fact, he even found out that Nathalie had a Iregular sex partner.
And he was the baby’s father.
Once this news was released, the trending topic about me faded a lot.
A few days later, I received another call from Bronson.
His voice was deep and there was some noise on the other end of the screen.
I have already explained everything to Nathalie and we have agreed to get a divorce. I have also dealt with the matters on the internet.”
“We were not possible.”
Tabruptly interrupted him.
Ime and vented to me.
Just a few hours ago, Nathalie called me and wante
She blamed me for the reason of losing Bronson.
She yelled hysterically, “Veronica, I finally managed to be with Bronson, why are you causing trouble? Since you left him, please stay away, can you stop disturbing our lives?”
“Brorson got married to you, just to get back at me.”
I calmly narrated the facts.
Nathalie didn’t care at all.
“So what? I willingly let him use me, what’s the big deal? As long as you don’t know anything, he will always be my husband.”
Nathalie, this crazy person, went all out for Bronson.
I was too lazy to argue with her, and I grew even more disgusted with Brunson.
The trending topic about Nathalie being a mistress stayed on the trending list for a long time, and Bronson also shows no intention of getting involved.
He stood in front of my house for several days, but he was refused entry.
That
day, it started pouring rain, but Bronson stood straight in the rain.
Flooked at the dark sky outside the window, closed the window, had the servant bring an umbrella, and also a keychain.
That keychain was a token of love given to me by Bronson
He was a poor boy back then, with only 1,200 as his monthly living expenses. The keychain cost fifty, but I liked it, and he bought it without hesitation.
was also that day when I made up my mind about him.
Dreame–Read Dome.
At the moment the door opened, Bronson’s lifeless eyes suddenly lit up.
When he saw that keychain, his expression on his face turned into silence again.
“She still refused to forgive me.
“I should have known earlier.”
“We can’t go back.”
I hid behind the curtain, watching as Bronson, disoriented, walked away with that keychain, step by step, getting farther and shallower.
His figure gradually disappeared in the rain.
I don’t know if the fog blurred his vision or if he walked into the fog
Later, I never saw him again.

Chapter 1
Two days before the wedding, my best friend asked me to rest my fiancé
She didn’t believe that Edwin Barrett, the notorious playboy, would change his nature.
Her intuition had always been accurate, so I created a lake account overnight to flirt with Edwin.
Edwin saw me through.
When he felt it ridiculous, he suddenly changed his mind and said to me, “I’ll play this boring game with you until here.”
“Apart from you two, I didn’t flirt with other women.

“Elaina, in the future, use your real account to chat with me,”
Elaina Cannon was my best friend.
After quickly processing these three text messages in my mind, I felt a chilling sensation running through my entire body.
I panicked, closed my eyes, and pinched myself.
Finally, amidst the frantic heartbeat, I confirmed that all of this was not a dream…
Edwin cheated on my with Elaina.
But how could it be?
Weren’t they disgusted with each other?
Elina felt that Edwin was not worthy of me, as he had nothing to offer except for wealth.
Erin thought Elaina was an annoying person. Every time we argued, she would always advise us to break up.
The video ringtone pulled me out of the memories
I hung up blankly,
“Why didn’t you pick up the video call?”
Edwin asked me.
“Are you crying, aren’t you?”
Come to Lake Villa. I will help you feel better.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll treat you right even after I get married.”
“You have everything that Julissa had.”
“Including me.”
I stared blankly at the phone screen, feeling a sudden ringing in my ears as if my soul had detached from my body. Tears fell down one by one.
With tears blurring my eyes, it couldn’t help but recall the various details of the first time I brought Elaina to this villa Without me explaining, she knew exactly w where my bedroom was and where the wardrobe was
I took away her phone but found out it had already connected to wifi. She said she accidentally entered my password.
Edwin’s shorthair cat was unexpectedly affectionate towards her, and she said it might be because she had my scent on her But that cat was very aloof towards me. I found it difficult to entice it with toys
But it exposed its belly to Elaina, whom it met for the first time.
In Elaina’s house, there were clothes, bags, lipsticks, and cosmetics that were the same as mine.
Some of them were under the disguise that Edwin tried to please my best friend and I gave them to her.,
The rest, Elaina said, were given by suitors.
Chapter 1
I gossiped excitedly, while she hesitated and didn’t want to say anything.
I thought she was embarrassed, but it turned out she was guilty.
I remembered the scene where they were arguing in front of me, competing for favor, when we went shopping together before. There were a few times when their tense atmosphere was broken and they burst into laughter.
And I was still foolishly trying to mend their relationship at that time.
These two people used me as a flirting tool and treated me like a tool.
My eyes were swollen and my head was dizzy from crying.
I took the car keys and stepped on the gas pedal, driving to Lake Villa,
Lake Villa was another residence of Edwin’s, where the groomsmen were accommodated,
They had a party here today.
Edwin was here.
Elaina also came.
I saw them over there by the swimming pool, through the iron fence.
Edwin seemed drunk and his sharp and handsome face had a hint of blush.
His gaze was unfocused as he leaned in and blew into Elaina’s ear
Elaine pouted and arrogantly pushed him into the swimming pool.
The groomsmen surrounding him playfully cheered. Edwin emerged from the water, shaking his wet hair and revealing a mischievous smile.
He grabbed Elaina’s ankle and pulled her into the swimming pool.
When Elaina screamed, he picked her up and forcefully kissed her against the pool wall.
The surrounding crowd cheered.
Some people were opening champagne, and some people were setting off fireworks,
Some people also mentioned me jokingly.
“Edwin, you are getting married to Julissa the day after tomorrow, and today you were kissing her best friend. Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?”
“Hahaha, as long as you don’t tell and I don’t tell, Edwin can get it on with Elaina here today and Julissa won’t even know.”
“My familiar Edwin is back again! You were so subserviently chasing after Julissa before, acting like you couldn’t live without her. Turns out it was all an act, huh?” I thought you were really going for that ‘prodigal son‘ storyline from TV dramas!”
Edwin finally ended that long kiss.
His voice was magnetic and hoarse, with a touch of lazy and rebellious charm.
“I love Julissa very much and she is the only woman I want to marry. I could spoil her, love her, and grow old with her. However, for her to remain chaste at such a young age..”
Edwin laughed loudly and planted a kiss on Elaina, who was panting on his shoulder.
“I couldn’t do it.”
Edwin carried Elaina out of the swimming pool and placed her on a lounge chair.
The people nearby busted themselves with covering him with a towel, while Edwin pulled it off and covered Elain
Someone asked, “Edwin, are

tonight?
Elaina lifted a pair of slightly red eyes and loolood at Edwin.
Edwin squatted down and affectionately pinched her face.
“Julissa is most concerned about Elaina. I was only in second place. Now that Elaina is sad, it is only natural for me to stay and accompany her.”
He waved behind him and said, “Demarion, send a message to Julissa, just tell her that I got drunk, I’ll sleep here tonight, and tomorrow is the rehearsal,

I’ll go pick her up then.”
When my tears burst, my phone buzzed for a moment.
Demarion Stein sent a message: “Julissa, Edwin got drunk and won’t come back to accompany you tonight. Go to bed early, he will personally pick you up for the rehearsal tomorrow

I stood in place for a long time.
I thought a lot
My parents passed away when I was very young, and I was fostered at my uncle’s house,
My cousin used to bully me, and my aunt turned a blind eye.
moved them for me.
I didn’t dare to report, Elaina reported for me. I didn’t dare to move my hands, Elalisa m
In terms of studying, I was more clever than Elaina.
I split half of the bonuses I had received with her.
She was the only daughter in the family and didn’t really love studying.
In my senior year of high school, I would review the knowledge with her every night, breaking it down and feeding it to her.
Brainwash her, paint her a ple
In the end, we were admitted to the university in this city.
In my sophomore year, I discovered that my boyfriend at the time was cheating.
After hearing the news, Elaina immediately rushed to the hotel where the two of them were staying, beat up the scumbag, and tore apart the mistress. The year we graduated, we shared a master bedroom together and were filled with uncertainty about the future. Every night, we would cover ourselves with a blanket and tirelessly brainwash each other about getting rich and supporting ourselves.
“If one becomes wealthy and prosperous, one should not forget others.”
“First, divide the bed in half, then leave one room,”
We grew up together, and I have long considered her as family.
Maybe my family won’t love me unconditionally, but I believe she will
So when I was confronted with her betrayal, I couldn’t even muster the strength to confront her face to face.
The person who once stood up and helped me teach the mistress a lesson has become the lover of my fiancé,
I had complete trust, only to be met with a ruthless betrayal.
When I left Lake Villa
The moon lung high above, and my whole body felt cold.
Trecalled my past with Edwin.
At the age of twenty–five, I became the chief designer of the topt Wedding Design Company in Shadowlyn.
During the Demarion estate wedding scene.
I stayed up all night watching the place, and because of low blood sugar, 1 fainted and fell into a half–meter deep fountain pool.
Passing by, Edwin saved me. He princess–carried me, with water dripping from his eyebrows, and his deep gaze at me in that moment instantly made my heart llutter.
I inquired about his prestigious background and the rumors of his infidelity, and as a result, I restrained myself.
But Edwin gave up all his bad habits and earnestly pursued me for a year.
His pursuit, courtesy, respect, and deep affection
That New Year’s Eve, I went back to my hometown to visit the graves. On the way, my phone ran out of battery,
Three hours of being out of touch, Edwin worried that I had passed out due to low blood sugar in the wilderness, so he drove hundreds of kilometers to find me.
He stood on the field ridge wearing thin clothes, with his neck stiff, wiping te
wiping tears helplessly, and calling my name desperately.
At that time, I was thinking, “Mom and Dad, in my whole life, I will only have him.” Crupter 2

After three years of daring, I never felt that Edwin’s love was fading away.
He would kneel down on one knee in the shopping mall, in front of everyone, to help me try on shoes.
He would find herb tea to treat my dysmenorrhea and personally stand by the stove to help me bollit.
I would prepare myself mentally before meeting his parents, so as not to be questioned or mistreated in the slightest.
He would also take me to the world of fame and fortune in his social circle, proudly and openly introducing me to everyone.
“This is my fiancée, Julissa Warner, the chief designer of AG Design Company. You can call her Miss Warner. She is very talented and has won many design awards. She designed Princess Angela’s wedding, which was a century event. People who want her to design their wedding plans are booked until the following year.”
“No, it starts from the year after next to make a reservation, because we are going to have a wedding next year, a grand one, and we will send you the invitation then!”
His love was too passionate, too perfect.
So, this flaw appeared so hideously fatal.
I went to the hotel and had a good cry.
I kept comforting myself, isn’t it just betrayal? Isn’t it just being treated badly?
We hadn’t had the wedding yes, we hadn’t obtained the marriage certificate yet, there was still time for everything.
Ely far away, way from this place
Stay away from these demons.
But it wasn’t me who did something wrong, so why should I leave the stage in dismay?

And, what needs to be reflected upon is my knowledge and perspective, rather than my sincerity and Icindness.

I was fine.
