At the moment, he was leaning against the hood with his legs crossed, next to him were 999 red roses.
Multiple drones circled in the sky, carrying romantic declarations.
Amidst the cheers and urging of everyone, I was forced to go downstairs.
“Aria- I’m here to take you home.”
nor held a newly bought diamond ring, his eyes full of deep affection.
“Oh my god, Aria, did you burn incense in your past life? Getting married and still so romantic.
“This diamond is huge,”
I found it oddly ironic and mercilessly exposed Connor’s act.
“Connor, we’re already divorced. This romantic persona you’re putting on, you’d better save it for your precious little girlfriend.”
The atmosphere turned awkward as everyone looked at each other, quietly eating this big melon,
My words made Connor lose face a bit. He slowly withdrew his hand, displeased:
“Aria, you’ve been acting out long enough. It’s time to stop.
Perhaps mindful of the onlookers, he quickly suppressed his temper and spoke softly, compromising:
“I apologize to you this time. You win.
“Tve already talked to your boss. You don’t need to work today.
TTll take you to the aquarium you’ve always wanted to visit, just the two of us.”
I took a deep breath, really not wanting to make too much of a scene in front of my colleagues.
*Connor, I say it one more time. We are already divorced.
“If you think divorce is just a bargaining chip I use to threaten you, I suggest you go back and take a good look at the divorce certificate.
“We have no relationship now, please don’t interfere with my life.
“Also, even if we weren’t divorced, you have no right to interfere with my work.
Connor looked up and signaled to his assistant not far away, dispersing the crowd around.
As if he couldn’t understand my words, he continued:
“I’ll send Zoe Harper abroad. She won’t appear around us anymore.
“Isn’t this what you wanted?
“I don’t know what method you used to find Lucas Sinclair to act with you in front of me.
“But now, I’ve admitted defeat.
“What else do you want!!!”
I was a bit speechless.
“The problem between us was never about Zoe Harper.
“Didn’t you say I should go date someone?
“We got married too early, mistaking habit for love.
“Lucas Sinclair is better than you, and he has better taste. I think he’s a hundred, no, a thousand times better than you.”
Connor stared at me blankly, his eyes misting over slightly, pleading softly:
“Aria, don’t.”
Too lazy to waste time with him here, I was about to leave when he excitedly grabbed my arm.
Connor’s gaze suddenly fell on my neck, anxiously questioning:
“Have you been fooling around with him behind my back all along?”
I looked at the agitated Connor and laughed:
“We’re already divorced, what
t does this have to do with you?
“You wanted an open marriage, I didn’t.
“We’re not the same kind of people, so I chose divorce.
“After the divorce, I can be with whoever I want. What can you do about it?”
Connor looked at me, hurt and a bit helpless.
“I didn’t..
“I never thought about really divorcing you. We’ve known each other since college, it’s been seven years.
Who could understand and suit each other better than us?”
Connor tried hard to control his emotions. After lowering his eyes for a moment, he seemed to make up his mind and looked at me again, saying deeply:
Five cut things off with Zoe Harper, you cut things off with him too.
“Let’s remarry and be good together.
“I won’t make you sad again in the future, okay?”

“Remarry, and then wait for you to tell me again that you’ve met someone who made you fall in love at first sight
“That you can’t help but think about her, be curious about her?
“Wait for you to tell me not to focus all my thoughts on you because it puts too much pressure on you?
“Connor, even if we start over, these things won’t change.”
I struggled free from his grip and stepped back, calling security.
When the knife doesn’t cut your own flesh, you don’t feel the pain.
Connor generously suggested an open marriage, simply because he was sure my nature wouldn’t allow me to do such a thing.
He even thought the divorce was just me throwing a tantrum.
He found excuses for his own wandering heart, but once his own interests were truly threatened, everything changed.
Rain started drizzling from the sky at some point. Connor still stood in place, his arms hanging by his sides, the undelivered diamond ring clutched in his hand.
It’s raining. I come pick you up in a bit.
Lucas Sinclair sent a message. I hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to reply.
My relationship with Lucas Sinclair now didn’t really need to be hidden.
But the scene Connor made here was truly awkward.
After thinking for a long time, I finally decided to tell him directly that Connor had been here.
[So what?
He came, so I can’t?
[Be good and wait for me]
Lucas Sinclair replied quickly. I looked at my repeatedly edited message box, finally deleted it all, and replied with a simple [Okay.
