As if struck by lightning, Daniel froze, looking at me in astonishment as he asked, "What did you say?"

I didn't want to repeat myself, but just looked at the man in front of me indifferently and said, "Daniel, since you no longer love me, let's end the relationship. I'm tired after all these years."

Daniel didn't dare to look into my eyes, as if pondering my words. After a moment he said, "Diana, when you called me, I was really in a meeting. I didn't mean not to see Grandma. I just couldn't get away..."

"Really?"

Looking at Daniel's look of trying to defend himself, I felt it was absurd and continued, "I called your colleagues and they all said you weren't in the office. Daniel, may I ask where you were having a meeting? At Deharbor?"

The man nodded with a frozen face and stammered, "Yes, yes."

I suddenly laughed.

In the past, every time Daniel lied to me, I had deceived myself and made up the place Deharbor.

Daniel never knew that this place actually didn't exist.

Looking at his terrified appearance, I couldn't help but find it extremely ridiculous and coldly said, "Daniel, there is no Deharbor in this world."

After saying that, I turned and left.

However, Daniel reached out to block my way and anxiously explained, "I'm sorry, Diana. I admit that I wasn't in a meeting when you called me."

"But I didn't intentionally hide it from you. It was mainly because I was afraid you would be unhappy if you knew."

Looking at the man's face, I was calm and indifferent, and I said faintly, "It doesn't matter whether I'm happy or not."

Seeing that I didn't relent, Daniel completely lost patience and raised his voice, saying, "That's enough, Diana! I just went to celebrate Julia's birthday. What's the big deal?"

"Julia had just returned to the country, and she knew no one except me. As her brother, shouldn't I company her?"

I stared at Daniel's eyes and questioned him, "Daniel, honestly ask yourself, do you really treat Julia as your sister?"

The man stood still for a long time without speaking. Just as he was about to say something, I raised my hand and interrupted him, "Forget it, I don't want to know."

After speaking, I turned around and went back to the bedroom, leaving Daniel standing alone in the center of the living room.

I met Daniel on a rainy night.

That night, in order to deliver more takeout orders, I desperately shuttled through the rain.

In just one turn, I scraped a parked car.

To compensate, I wrote down my phone number on a note.

Daniel, the owner of the car, added me on WhatsApp.

After communicating, I learned that the car I scraped was called Rolls-Royce.

I needed to compensate a lot of money, so much that I could hardly pay it back in my life.

So I went from working one job a day to working two or three jobs a day.

I transferred money to Daniel every month on time.

One day, Daniel said that his bank card was lost and he couldn't withdraw money, so he asked me to meet in person.

I brought the cash to the agreed park in between deliveries.

Daniel's first words when he saw me were, "I didn't expect you to be a deliverywoman."

I didn't think much at the time and just gave the money to Daniel before continuing to deliver takeout.

Now it seemed that at that time, Daniel, who was from the upper class, suddenly became interested in me when he saw me, a girl who had been struggling in the lower class.

However, after that meeting, Daniel would find excuses to meet me every few days.

Sometimes, he wanted to visit Grandma, sometimes he asked me to deliver meals to his company employees.

As time went by, we fell in love with each other.

But his family strongly opposed us getting married.

They said that I was a gold-digger and wanted to marry into the Barber family to change my life.

Only Daniel knew that I simply fell in love with him, without any other intentions.

In order to make his family accept me, Daniel stubbornly knelt at home for three whole days, saying that he wanted the Barber family to see his sincerity towards me.

Daniel's parents felt sorry for him and finally agreed to our marriage.

On the second day after the wedding, Daniel brought Grandma to live with us and said that my relationship with my grandma would not change.

But Grandma didn't think so.

She had heard too much gossip from the Barber family and felt that we didn't deserve the Barber family.

So from the day she moved into the villa, she acted as a nanny.

She did everything for Daniel, including washing clothes and cooking.

My grandma said that only in this way could she feel at ease.

Daniel couldn't resist and could only let Grandma do whatever she wanted.

We lived a warm life except for the disagreement from the Barber family.

But this peaceful and happy day was broken when Julia came back.

In fact, even if Daniel took half an hour to take Grandma to the hospital, we wouldn't be separated forever.

It was just that Daniel always came up with lies to deceive me after crossing my bottom line.

After so many years of self-deception, I was really tired.

The bedroom door behind me was gently pushed open, and Daniel came over with a basin of water and squatted by the bed, saying, "Diana, get up and soak your feet. You've been working hard lately."

I pulled the quilt over my head, isolating Daniel's voice outside.

But he came closer, pulled the quilt off me, and continued in a softer tone, "Okay, Diana, stop throwing a tantrum."

"I apologize for lying to you. Can you stop mentioning divorce all the time?

"It's not easy for us to come this far. Grandma also hopes to see us live a happy life, right?"

Daniel said, trying to pull me up from the bed.

I turned away from Daniel's goodwill with a cold face and sat up from the bed, saying,

"Don't mention Grandma in front of me."

"Daniel, you are the least qualified person to mention Grandma."

Daniel's face immediately darkened and he spoke in an extremely impatient tone, "Diana, I have apologized and admitted my mistake. What else do you want from me?"

"Do I need to kneel down and beg for your forgiveness?"

"I am a man, not your servant. Do you have to be so aggressive over this?"

"Besides, Julia had discussed with me about her birthday before she returned. I can't just break my promise."

I tugged at the corner of my mouth and said, "You also know that you are a man."

"Nothing happens for no reason. As a man, Daniel, if you don't give Julia a chance, will she do that?"

After speaking, I got up from the bed and turned to leave the bedroom.

Daniel stopped me the moment I turned the doorknob. He raised his voice, "Diana, it's so late. Do you want me to invite Grandma to persuade us to reconcile again?"

Many times in the past, Grandma was the one who mediated between us during our cold wars.

But this time, Grandma was no longer here.

The gulf between Daniel and I could never be filled in this lifetime.

I decisively left the bedroom and coldly said, "As you wish."

The moment the door closed, I heard Daniel in the bedroom knock over the basin by the bedside...

Early the next morning, someone knocked on the door.

Coming out of the guest room, I happened to see Julia standing in the middle of the living room, helping Daniel with his tie.

They were so intimate that they looked like a newlywed couple, while I was just a mistress who couldn't show up.

They weren't just like this today.

We had been married for many years, except for Barber's family and my Grandma, in fact, no one knew that I was Daniel's wife, and Daniel also tacitly agreed not to make it public.

To be honest, anyone would feel uncomfortable.

But now, looking at the sweet scene between the two of them, I didn't have any emotional ups and downs.

When Julia saw me, she looked awkward and she instinctively explained, "Diana, please don't misunderstand."

"Daniel left in a hurry last night and forgot to take his tie."

Seeing that I didn't say anything, Daniel asked me to go to the restaurant for breakfast, saying that it was specially brought by Julia.

Looking at the soup for two on the table, I said coldly, "No need."

"Daniel, did Diana misunderstand?"

Julia looked at Daniel with innocence, as if she had really done something wrong, and continued speaking, "Diana, please don't misunderstand."

"When I was in school, I also helped Daniel tie his tie. It was just a casual thing. I wanted you to sleep a little longer, so I didn't bother you to get up."

As soon as the word 'bother' was mentioned, Julia treated herself as the hostess.

But Daniel pretended not to understand, only that there was a fleeting dodge in his eyes as he looked at me. However, he quickly returned to normal and pretended that nothing had happened.

I impatiently nodded and went into the bathroom to wash up.

Behind me, Daniel brought Julia to the dining room and spoke gently, "She's always so weird and unpredictable."

"Julia, leave her alone. Let's have breakfast."
