Early the next morning, Noah returned home.

He looked in a good mood and asked a servant to put Eva's favorite flowers at the entrance.

Then, the landscape painting we created together was thrown into the trash can.

The picture frame was shattered on the ground, and the glass shards hit my feet before I barely regained consciousness.

When I took a second look, I found Noah kissing someone.

When he saw me, his smile froze for a moment.

"Didn't I tell you to get out of here?"

I looked at him dumbfoundedly. I saw a hand resting on his, and its owner turned to look me in the eye from in front of him.

Eva smiled happily, looking at me like a winner.

"Long time no see, Julie."

Ever since Eva knew me, she had sweetly called me Julie.

Only I knew what kind of vicious heart she hid behind her sweet smile.

I stood awkwardly aside, watching the intimate couple.

Although I was Noah's legal wife, I looked like a maggot under Eva's dazzling smile.

Eva looked around the villa adorned like a wedding venue, her eyes sparkling.

"I've told Noah not to make any fuss, but he didn't listen."

Eva covered her mouth and smiled, revealing a pigeon-egg-like diamond ring on her ring finger.

There was a maple leaf engraved on the ring, which I saw a month ago.

It was in Noah's suit pocket.

I had thought it was the ring he would use to propose to me again.

To not spoil the surprise, I pretended not to know about it, but in fact, I was on cloud nine.

Just like Eva, I liked maple leaves too.

There was only one and a half months left until our wedding anniversary.

I was looking forward to Noah putting it on my ring finger.

Little did I expect that it was not prepared for me at all!

The doctor had already figured out the day Eva would wake up.

The Whites and the servants in the villa had all been preparing for this day, but I was the only one kept in the dark.

I became the last person to know that she could wake up.

And I was the first loser to be kicked out.

While we were talking, the servants had already thrown out my last few items.

Noah gave me a disdainful glance and told me to leave immediately.

As for the divorce agreement, he promised to deliver it to me today.

"Can I stay here, Noah?"

With tears in my swollen eyes, I uttered my final plea to him.

"No."

Noah refused decisively, holding Eva's hand, ready to bypass me.

I gritted my teeth and grabbed his sleeve.

"I just want to stay with Nana. She is afraid to be alone."

Noah stopped in his tracks, and the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat gloomy.

Eva gritted her teeth. She had no idea that in the five years she was away, the man she loved the most had already had a child with me.

Nana was my daughter, but unfortunately, she didn't make it into this world.

When I was five months pregnant, to not violate the "contract contents", I voluntarily underwent an abortion.

When the embryo left my body, I apologized ten thousand times.

Even Noah couldn't help but turn red-eyed. He hugged me tightly for the first time.

In the end, Nana was buried under a cypress tree in the courtyard, and I would visit her there almost every day.

Noah even suspected that I would get a mental illness.

But I just smiled and told him that Nana would come back to me again.

It was just that after so many years, Nana came back with Eva's resuscitation.

Noah frowned, seemingly calculating the feasibility of letting me stay.

Eva's face turned pale, and after a moment, she suddenly clutched her chest.

"Noah, I feel so uncomfortable... It's like I can't breathe..."

The next second, Eva fell to the ground.

Before I could react, Noah picked up Eva and rushed out.

Once again, the sound of an ambulance resounded through the sky on this day.

On Eva's first day of awakening, her old illness relapsed.

Just like three years ago, Noah begged me to donate blood to Eva.

"Julia, please save her once again."

Noah, who dominated the business world, once again revealed his tender side.

"I will compensate you. If you are willing to stay in my house, I won't stop you anymore."

I fought for that with swollen eyes before, but now he easily agreed without me saying a word.

I suddenly wanted to laugh, but I held it back and just silently stared at him.

After a moment, I turned my gaze to Eva on the hospital bed.

She was wearing an oxygen mask, her face pale like the moonlight.

I looked at her for a good while. Her face, which resembled mine, was covered halfway as if she was about to die.

I then looked at the ring on her finger. It was something that I had been desired for ten years.

Finally, I looked at Noah again.

The man I had loved for ten years.

"Sure."

I finally replied to him, my voice trembling.

Noah jumped up and hugged me tightly, as if he wanted to rub me into his bones.

"Julia, later... I will make it up to you later."

I stiffened and forced out a wry smile.

Slowly, I hugged him back, cherishing him deeply.

Noah, this is the last time.

There won't be a second time.

I kept my promise and donated blood to Eva.

Noah readily transferred 10 million dollars to me and promised that I could freely enter and leave his villa.

He no longer mentioned the divorce agreement.

"You should go back now. I will have the driver pick you up."

Noah held Eva's hand and didn't even look at me.

I refused his arrangement and walked out alone.

At a corner of the hospital, I couldn't help but laugh.

I leaned on the railing like a complete lunatic, swaying back and forth with disheveled hair.

No matter how the people passing by tried to avoid me, I still felt thrilled.

In a great mood, I turned around to take out my phone.

I was put through after the phone rang for dozens of seconds. A cold voice came from the other end of the line.

"Have you come back to beg me at last?"

"James Norris, your daughter is dying. Don't you want to come and see her?"
