Sofia, who was lying in my arms, also laughed. She pinched my waist in a joking manner."Big Guy, will you come again tonight?""I might not have the time. Moreover, that place was too noisy.""I see. In that case, let's meet another day to play golf. I'll apply for a card on your behalf. Hehe, I need to return the courtesy!""Haa... there's no need.""Of course there is! Anyway, I'm going to look for some toilet paper now, see you!"When the call ended, I laughed out loud. I gently hugged Sofia and said, "Let's also be on our way. Shall we eat something and then window-shop?""Okay, David. I love you."I believed her. Sometimes, you only need an evening to fall in love.We got dressed hurriedly and then left, even forgetting my wristwatch in the room. Sofia held my hand as she walked, smiling happily.We looked like a couple in love as we strolled through the streets. Our good looks immediately attracted the attention of the passers

After waiting for three minutes, the person in charge of this auction event scurried out inside and hollered, "Apologies for the interruption, do we have a Mr. Wayne here? Mr. David Wayne, please?"Everyone looked at each other as none of them knew a David Wayne. Only Kate and John appeared confused and wondered why the auctioneer was calling out my name."Hello, I'm David Wayne," I said as I approached him."Mr. Wayne, we're very sorry that we forgot to send you an invitation before. We didn't think you'd be interested in coming to our insignificant auction. Please accept my unreserved apologies. We're so honored to have you here tonight. I have arranged the best seats for you, please follow me!""No worries, let's go." I smiled graciously.I deliberately passed by John and grinned victoriously. He looked as if he had a mouthful of dog shit and could neither spit it out nor swallow. How satisfying!The hall was grand and magnificent. This charity aucti

After the auction, everyone relaxed in the event hall before proceeding for a banquet on the twentieth floor."Mr. Wayne, you bought the Victorian hairpin at such a high price and made a great contribution to the disaster area. It would be a great pity if you are not covered in the news." The organizer held my hand and wouldn't let go of it."It's not the right time yet," I replied with a smile."Ah, I understand, I understand. I admire Mr. Wayne for your foresight.""By the way, don't just interview me. There's another generous donor of two hundred million dollars over there. Now that's the real great benefactor!" I said as I pointed to John in the corner.John immediately saw me and glared at me with his ferocious eyes as if he wanted to devour me."Ah, yes, yes, yes, let's go over there right away." The organizer and reporters scurried over to John.Kate tried to talk to me several times during the break. However, each time she tried, she hesita

Noticing my silence and muted response, John became more aggressive, pointing at me and saying angrily, "See! Captain, he is feeling guilty. It's so obvious, arrest him!"The Captain smiled, took a sip of his coffee, and said, "What's the hurry? There are portions that don't add up."John looked to the middle-aged man next to him, hoping for him to help.The middle-aged man cleared his throat and said, "Captain, I hope you can be fair and strict. Please do not take your own sweet time for this. You should know how valuable our time is. Do you know how much tax we pay and the number of jobs that we create for this city? We don't want to waste our time for nothing!"The Captain was no rookie and clearly heard the hidden message. John's family business was indeed a valuable contributor to the local economy and the Captain did have to consider the larger picture. But that did not mean that he would allow justice to be swayed."Sir, if I were you, I'd watch my to

The more she said, the more agitated I became, and painful memories started to flood my mind. The aggravation and humiliation that I had endured before, surfaced, and stirred all over again. The feeling was worse than being stabbed with a knife!"That's enough!" I shouted.Kate instantly quieted due to shock.After a while of silence, I laughed bitterly and said, "You know what? Today is the first time you called me a husband.""David... Previously I...""Let's divorce!"I heard sobs from the other end. She was crying, but did she know how many tears I had shed over these two years? How many times have I hid in the bathroom and cried in the shower? I will cry no more for those who do not deserve my tears!I had enough of my past life and want to end that period of my life and all that was associated with it.After I ended the call, I thought that I would be incredibly relaxed, but in reality, I was not. I still felt as though there was a huge
